just two photos I really like, from facehunter and the sartorialist.

well, i have many subjects i would like to write about, but my mind is jumbled with to-do lists. i will start here: this semester the cultural discerners are reading Everyday Apocalyspe by David Dark. Here are some parts from the first chapter that I found significant:

Confusing redemption for escape, real injustice- political and personal- goes mostly unengaged, and the actual, everyday world gets left behind...
Genuine apocalyptic expression is a radical declaration...Its job is to reflect...the tensions and paradoxes that constitute our understanding of reality...
Given our tendency to see and hear what we want to see and hear while disregarding the rest, we need whatever we can get in the way of an awakening...
We were made for something better than what we're getting and whatever it is we're settling for...
the media is crippling people's sould, setting up barriers between man and the crucial questions of his existence, his consciousness of himself and a spiritual being...

"I am interested in making up a good case for distortion, as I am coming to believe it is the only way to make people see"
- Flannery O'Connor

isn't that the truth?
