cervo (by Pixelpancho)
There was no photo credit attached but this caught my attention. The currency looks like a British pound note. Dozens stuffed into the eyes, ears, and mouth of the three Wise Monkeys. The three who represent those who deal with impropriety by turning a blind eye.
I wish I knew the photography credit. Wherever this is, it’s beautiful how life has come back to a concrete jungle.

[as freedom is a breakfastfood]
BY E. E. CUMMINGS 1894–1962
as freedom is a breakfastfood
or truth can live with right and wrong
or molehills are from mountains made
—long enough and just so long
will being pay the rent of seem
and genius please the talentgang
and water most encourage flame
as hatracks into peachtrees grow
or hopes dance best on bald men’s hair
and every finger is a toe
and any courage is a fear
—long enough and just so long
will the impure think all things pure
and hornets wail by children stung
or as the seeing are the blind
and robins never welcome spring
nor flatfolk prove their world is round
nor dingsters die at break of dong
and common’s rare and millstones float
—long enough and just so long
tomorrow will not be too late
worms are the words but joy’s the voice
down shall go which and up come who
breasts will be breasts thighs will be thighs
deeds cannot dream what dreams can do
—time is a tree(this life one leaf)
but love is the sky and i am for you
just so long and long enough

Humans have overwhelmed the natural, slow changes that occur on geologic timescales
NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies director James E. Hansen
“Embrace the illuminescent waves as they crash over her vast shelves. She holds my suspended breath for a moment before I let a frost bit inhale awaken my senses. Could this rush hold the force of a 40 night flood.”
Why does everything have to match?
Coordinating colors, texture, aesthetic appeal, togetherness, accepted, functionalist.
Uncomfortable, awkward, noticeable, uneasy, pressure, anxiety, frustration, negative reinforcement, reflection, conflict.
“Don’t look at me like that, this is what the University gals call “matching.” Symbolic intetractionism
If you ever lose faith in humanity…drop a Macbook
