The Getaway

I love nature, especially the ocean. I try to keep the content here positive, but if the subject is very important I'll sometimes reblog text that may be stressful or sad in nature. I will not, however, reblog any images that I consider to be traumatic. Overall, this will probably be 95% or more reblogs of visual content which I consider to be fun, whimsical, beautiful, or cathartic. Expect a fair amount of boobs.

My partner's (new) tumblr of fun things that she likes is here. ❤

Australian artist duo Nicole Andrijevic and Tanya Schultz, under their moniker Pip and Pop, create magical installations out of brightly dyed sugar, glitter, and tiny cheap plastic toys. Created in a manner similar to Buddhist Sand Mandalas (whose profound impermanence of their time consuming compositions are meant to be a meditation on the transitory nature of life), Pip and Pop’s works jump to 3D territory, oozing past boundaries in a day glo riot of neon and sparkle. Infused with plenty of Kawaii spirit and pop psychedelia, and saturated in the fluorescent colors used in children’s toys and head shop posters, these playful yet meticulously-crafted islands of sugar speak to the ideas of material abundance and dreamy nostalgia of youth.

Creepy Pokemon Watercolors

Saw this today on Reddit and was astonished. Here’s a handful of terrific watercolors done by an artist known as Wednesday Wolf. Check out more Pokemon watercolors over here. Other of Wednesday Wolf’s watercolors can be found over at his awesome official site.

You don’t need religion to have morals. If you can’t determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion.

Janice Jackson, another team member who is also working on a Ph.D. in communication disorders, conducted an experiment using pictures of Sesame Street characters to test children’s comprehension of the “habitual be” construction. She showed the kids a picture in which Cookie Monster is sick in bed with no cookies while Elmo stands nearby eating cookies. When she asked, “Who be eating cookies?” white kids tended to point to Elmo while black kids chose Cookie Monster. “But,” Jackson relates, “when I asked, ‘Who is eating cookies?’ the black kids understood that it was Elmo and that it was not the same. That was an important piece of information.” Because those children had grown up with a language whose verb forms differentiate habitual action from currently occuring action (Gaelic also features such a distinction, in addition to a number of West African languages), they were able even at the age of five or six to distinguish between the two.

But black Children are spose to be stupid… (via howtobeterrell)

ETA:  AAVE is a 100% valid dialect, everyone, just in case you didn’t know.  There is no such thing as “talking right.”
