I long for home but home is a fantasy comprised of sunny days past and fresh dawns of the future.
It’s a place that does not exist nor the life that I lead, yet I know it well.
I can tell you what you would find in the medicine cabinet, what the car smells like, how her heart beats in my presence…
I can tell you who I am but not when I am…
I want to come home.
The rain has now started.

“Mast is an ingenious power-free humidifier made of leftover cypress shavings from other craftwork. Put water in the boat-shaped base, and the wood absorbs the water, humidifying the room and emitting the subtle scent of cypress.”

Leaked documents reveal US diplomats actually work for Monsanto →
Biotech giant Monsanto has been genetically modifying the world’s food supply and subsequently breeding environmental devastation for years, but leaked documents now reveal that Monsanto has also deeply infiltrated the United States government. With leaked reports revealing how U.S. diplomats are actually working for Monsanto to push their agenda along with other key government officials, Monsanto’s grasp on international politics has never been clearer.

Quote reblogged from Apoplectic Skeptic with 337 notes
Our growth is generally dependent upon our ability to obtain new contracts to develop and manage new correctional and detention facilities… . The demand for our facilities and services could be adversely affected by the relaxation of enforcement efforts, leniency in conviction and sentencing practices or through the decriminalization of certain activities that are currently proscribed by our criminal laws. For instance, any changes with respect to drugs and controlled substances or illegal immigration could affect the number of persons arrested, convicted, and sentenced, thereby potentially reducing demand for correctional facilities to house them.
Corrections Corporation of America, the largest private prison operator in America, statement to stockholders, 2005.
In other words: ending the Drug War and eliminating federal mandatory minimum sentences is bad for business. Adam Gopnik notes that CCA “spends millions lobbying legislators.” presumably, inter alia, to keep harsh sentencing laws on the books. Then he nails it:
Brecht could hardly have imagined such a document: a capitalist enterprise that feeds on the misery of man trying as hard as it can to be sure that nothing is done to decrease that misery.

If you’re from, or have been to, Toronto, and care even a little bit about art, you’ve probably heard of Shary Boyle. She was talked about a lot when I started at OCAD, and it’s hard not to admire her curiously haunting figures. Maybe she could single-handed-ly save OCAD’s ceramics department?
