New College’s academic year ends with community-focused celebration of students

On the evening of May 18, over 400 members of the New College community—encompassing students, staff, faculty, alumni and parents—gathered at the Sarasota Art Museum to celebrate the graduation of the cohort of 2019. It was a ceremony held on their own terms, aptly titled [NEW] Commencement. In the words of co-organizer KC Casey (‘23), the student and alum-run celebration sought to make graduates…

Difficult to pick one option…

I went with “Hospitality,” but in my opinion I feel “Day Care” also falls into “Backbone of Society,” as having a safe place to gather children literally allows the parents to participate in Society in their own jobs.

(I hate how little the USA supports those parents, not the least of which is the frankly criminal lack of Maternity and Paternity leaves. But we in Early Childhood Education do what we can to fill that gap.)

Now, considering my job requires us teachers to be responsible for the Maintenance, Instruction of Preschoolers, and toe dipping into Social Service links…

Ignore all that, though. You know what, I was wrong.

Should have picked “Like and Subscribe,” my true job is Performer of the Absurd and Influencer.

Every now and then I'm reminded Real People with Actual Jobs use tumblr and I've always been legitimately curious what all you weird adults are up to when you're not on this site and with tumblr's New Poll Feature I can finally get an answer!

Inside the Squirting Cucumber

Though only 5 cm long, the squirting cucumber can spray its seeds up to 10 meters away. The little fruit does so through a clever combination of preparation and ballistic maneuvers.  (Research and image credit: F. Box et al.; via Gizmodo) Read the full article

[ID: Digital Art of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash’s body is turned slightly away from the viewer as he holds a staggering Wolfwood by his shoulder. He has one foot ahead of the other, the foot in the back used to stabilize himself from tipping over. Wolfwood is tethering into Vash, his weight pressed into him with his arms wrapped around Vash’s waist and his face is hidden away as he leans against Vash’s shoulder. Vash’s expression can be seen, his eyes wide and mouth tight-lipped, and his face is flushed red. A speech bubble comes out from Wolfwood, saying a drawled “Spikeyyy...”. The background are desaturated pastels of blue and green, showing night time, as they stand in the middle of an empty street that is also lit by the moon not depicted. Yellow light is seen coming from the inside of a saloon. End ID]

I need to sit with the fact they are regularly sneaking in sex on the dl bc they can't keep their hands off each other, but they want to protect their daughter's sensibilities

Zoro who one day realizes he's going to die and leave the crew. Who realizes he won't be able to protect them forever, who's back was always a sign of safety to the people he cared for. Zoro who can't fathom the thought of not dying first, because the very idea of seeing Sanji (or anyone of the crew) go first before him physical pain. Sometimes he can't let Sanji go in the mornings, pleads like he's a dying man in the sea and Sanji's a passing boat, he needs to have the dumb cook in his arms for just a little longer, just a few seconds more, and then maybe he can figure out how to make them both live forever. Sanji, who dies in his sleep, a smile on his lips and tears down his cheeks, held by the man he swore his heart to, and Zoro, who dies a few moments later, because following his blond was the only choice he had. Them, who still find eachother, over and over, no matter where or when.

Them, who die together, hand in hand, heart as one.

i love how sometimes, despite all the medical advancements of the 21st century, the only thing that relieves pain is sitting/laying/standing in a weird position because it places/doesn't place pressure on certain spots

Dwarf planet Eris is ‘squishier’ than expected

University of California, Santa Cruz Professor of Planetary Sciences Francis Nimmo recently co-authored a Science Advances paper about the internal structure of the dwarf planet Eris. Eris is about the size of Pluto but around 50% farther from the sun. The discovery of Eris in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune in 2005 prompted the debate that ultimately reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet. It was an interest in Pluto that drew UC Santa Cruz researcher Francis Nimmo to study Eris. Nimmo was visiting Michael Brown—one of the discoverers of Eris—at the California Institute of Technology about six months ago and realized some of Brown’s new, unpublished data could help reveal information about the properties of Eris. The two worked on models for the next several months and published their results in a Science Advances paper. Two main pieces of information led to their results. The first important clue is that Eris and its moon, Dysnomia, always face the same way toward each other. The main, unexpected result of Nimmo and Brown’s model is that Eris is surprisingly dissipative, or “squishy”...

Dry Plants Warn Away Moths

Drought-stressed plants let out ultrasonic distress cries that moths use to avoid plants that can't support their offspring. In ideal circumstances, a plant is constantly pulling water up from the soil, through its roots, and out its leaves through transpiration. This creates a strong negative pressure -- varying from 2 to 17 atmospheres' worth -- inside the plant's xylem. (Image credit: Khalil; research credit: R.
