J.R.R Tolkien, looking at flowers.
Apparently people hated to go for walks with him because he would stop and look at every tree for like 20 minutes.

‘We Have Always Fought’: Challenging the ‘Women, Cattle and Slaves’ Narrative
An incredible article about the myths of women’s role in history, our biases from patriarchal education and media, and how not addressing those biases creates a feedback loop in fiction that perpetuates sexism.
A must read!
We forget what the story’s about. We erase women in our stories who, in our own lives, are powerful, forthright, intelligent, terrifying people. Women stab and maim and kill and lead and manage and own and run. We know that. We experience it every day. We see it.
…
[T]he trouble is, it’s often hard to sort out what we actually experienced from what we’re told we experienced, or what we should have experienced. We’re social creatures, and fallible.

Diego Rivera, Detroit Industry, 1932-3, Detroit Institute of Arts.
As Detroit’s municipal bankruptcy looms, the city’s “emergency manager” Kevyn Orr weighs the possibility of selling off the collection of the D.I.A. to pay for the city government’s mismanagement — like an art museum is a fuckin’ piggy bank. This is outrageous, unconscionable, and to be resisted tooth and nail.
London 1926 (x)

I drew this and brought it to Gallifrey One to get it autographed by the one and only Freema Agyeman!
Virtual supermarkets are popping up in subway stations in South Korea, where commuters can virtually shop for items while waiting for the train to come. Customers simply scan an item’s QR code using the free “Homeplus” app and can have it delivered to their doorstep before they even get home. Ranked as the 2nd most hard-working country in the world to Japan, South Korea is rewarding its workers with this timesaving gem.
Wow! I kinda love this idea.
considering how long I put off getting groceries because I don’t want to bike to the store, this would be so useful and awesome. Especially since the home delivery is free.
