Today I get to put the down payment on my new bike.  Those tires have a trim of yellow skulls.  Also, this bike is so much brighter in person (only because it’s bigger than the image).

Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them. By

Bill Watterson (via mikekarnell)

In other words, it’s okay to choose not to become a doctor, an IT specialist, a lawyer.  It’s okay to opt for the less that is more.  And above all else, it’s perfectly okay to choose happiness over other people’s version of success.

Chandler dances for academia

This post is a special edition of Chandler Dances on Things. A friend of mine, who is partially responsible for the existence of this blog, is in need of some help.  Please read and consider his message below. 

Thank-you.

Dear people of Tumblr,

I come to you with a huge request. There is a study currently being conducted through Wayne State University that examines the user of the gay/bi/curious mobile social networking application, Grindr. This is a big deal because there are only a handful of studies that look at mobile LGBTA social networking devices.This is where you come in. If you’ve ever used the application, please fill out the survey at the bottom of this post. If you cannot fill out the survey, please reblog and share this survey with your friends and followers. The only way for studies that focus on LGBTA individuals within social media to exist is by having people like you fill out these surveys. These studies cannot be completed without data, so every answered survey helps! Whether you share the survey or fill it out, I know the researchers will greatly appreciate your contribution. Let’s together mainstream the presence of the LGBTA community within academic scholarship. We can do it!

nprfreshair: Smithsonian: In the 1960s, Jerry Uelsmann revolutionized the art of photography by manually blending negatives to produce dreamlike landscapes. “The primary creative gesture for most photographers used to be when they clicked the shutter,” Uelsmann says. “But I realized that the darkroom was a visual research lab where the creative process could continue.” Though we’re now in the era of Photoshop, he continues to forsake digital manipulation, as with the 2006 untitled image made from three photos, one including his wife’s hands. “It is an incredible leap of faith to think maybe this tree could blend into these hands,” Uelsmann says. “But the camera is a license to explore.” Uelsmann’s creations are showcased in a traveling exhibit, “Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop,” at the National Gallery of Art through May 5. And this is the type of photo manipulation I want to do, if I ever manipulate photos.  Not in the sense that I want to obviously blend photos together, but I want to make my changes within the dark room.  The dark room is a super peaceful place and it’s calming like no one’s business.

My friend George went out of town for the weekend.  There was silence on my dashboard for three days.  Occasionally, he would post one post.

And then Monday happened and he released ALL OF THE REBLOGS OF HIS LIFE.

And I was happy.  Because George.  And because some of it was Arthur-related.
