I had not been back to Philadelphia until she fluttered into my life, intoned her plea, and passed away, delicately, the way a flower might exhale. A powder like pollen showered from her wings, and I knew then that I must go. It did not take long. The trains are very fast these days.

When I am asked for hep it is not for me to turn away. It is not what I do, though perhaps in old age I have forgotten kindness, traded it for habit. My daughters used to tell me that, would tell me that a good deed from me was not as valuable as the good deeds of others. Then of course I left them, and the parts of me that shine, those bits I took with me.

I said the train was fast. I found the house, it was not too much trouble. An old thing, neglected. A golden powder shimmered in the window. I saw the nets of soft cloth, the tattered wings, the pins and glass frames and the smell an old man makes in the kitchen. And so I broke the window with my fist, and they flew from the house, fled upwards to the sun, those golden, showering, shimmering lights.

“Many of the designers I studied, from Bruce Mau to Richard Saul Wurman to Paula Scher, talked about the importance of asking “stupid questions”—the ones that challenge the existing realities and assumptions in a given industry or sector. The persistent tendency of designers to do this is captured in the joke designers tell about themselves. How many designers does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Does it have to be a light bulb?”

If you are merely glancing as you scroll through your dash, waiting for the work day to end, take a closer look at these manipulations by Huet. Stunning, simple, and wonderfully constructed. I must admit, I feel the most for the dog. Thanks Looks Like…

Facebook prohibits the word ‘Palestinian’

Facebook prohibits the word ‘Palestinian’:

robot-heart-politics:

the-semblance:

The folks at Palestinian Refugee ResearchNet thought they’d create a Facebook page only to discover: Facebook blocks the term “Palestinian”! (H/t Jillian C Cork.)

Are Palestinians the only group so blocked from making pages? Well, not really… after a little fiddling around, I discovered that al-Qaida Refugee ResearchNet and Nazi Refugee ResearchNet are filtered too.

It does seem a bit odd, however, that a population of up to 12 million people, receiving more than a billion dollars in international aid, recognized by the UN, and enjoying a degree of formal diplomatic recognition from the United States — is placed in the same filtered category as Nazis and al-Qaida.

I’ve sent an email to Facebook customer service—we’ll see what they say.

Just to be sure, I tried myself to create a “Palestinian sports” page — not allowed.

Storm clouds are brewing…

It’s crazy just how much I love Vancouver. I love Toronto more (the culture makes up for the awful smog and humidity (in the summer) and the intolerable windchill (in the winter)), but damn it, mountains and epic cloud formations make all the difference in the world!

I miss the west coast.

True say.
