Heartbreaking and beautiful

Days With My Father

Please look at this.

"I would take it further"


A disabled woman, who had her legs amputated, received a prosthetic tail so she can swim like a mermaid.

Public Ad Campaign


Yesterday I noticed a bunch of the billboards in Williamsburg were painted white, over the ads, with words like "hope" written on them. (Maybe not "hope" exactly. Maybe "peace"?) At first I thought it was some kind of viral marketing that co-opts everything exciting about art for use in advertising, but turns out it's just the opposite. Over 120 illegal billboards (ads not registered with the city) were transformed by artists/volunteers into art. Pretty amazing.

More here. Organized by Public Ad Campaign.

Oklahoma's state song



...is now officially Do You Realize?

Faith the dog


This dog only has two legs but can walk like a person. This may or may not have made me cry. Look at him walking out the door, to face the world, ready for anything.
