[links] Link salad knows that love is just a kiss away
Reading: METAtropolis: Green Space - A reader reacts positively to my novella, “Rock of Ages”.
Love, The Weak and Fragile - Love, to me, is like an emaciated refugee that shows up at your door in the middle of the night during a storm. You’re not sure how she had the strength to get here, but here she is regardless, her thumb on your doorbell until you let her in. (Via rekre8.)
A Girl and Her Room: Portraits of Teenage Girls’ Inner Worlds Through Their Bedroom Interiors - (Thanks to Lisa Costello.)
The Acrobat Sublime - Some gorgeous photos of acrobats in unusual settings. NSFW in a very arty way. (Via martang.)
Around 50% of people can 'see in the dark,' study shows
What is the craziest thing you have ever said to your boss, with or without getting fired? - (Via David Goldman.)
East Meets West: An Infographic Portrait - German punctuality, Western ego and how to stand in line like a Chinese. (Thanks to Lisa Costello.)
I Noticed This Tiny Thing On Google Maps. And When I Zoomed In… Well, Nothing Could Prepare Me. - Wow. This is amazing, intense, and sad. (Thanks to willyumtx.)
Telescopes as Time Machines - This has been obvious to me since I was a kid, and I’m pretty sure is clear enough to most SF readers and fans. It’s still a cool topic.
GOP Deeply Divided Over Climate Change - Polling about climate change is like polling about gravity. You can hold any ideology you want, but in the reality-based world shit still falls down.
More Passengers Are Trying To Board Planes With Guns - The most common explanation passengers give officers when they get caught is, “I forgot it was there.” Man, I feel so much safer when responsible citizens exercise their Second Amendment rights. So do the 30,000 people killed every year in this country by firearms, I’m just certain of it.
