Linkage

Stars in the Bahamas.

Antidepressants are tested on mice, but how on earth do you measure depression in a mouse? Aww...

A BBC introduction to street photography. some really interesting quotes.

"Between thin and fat: dichotomies, binaries, and the unacknowledged spectrum."

A blog of daily outfit posts, but! no photos, only drawings, and by a different artist each day.

Relax, it's not the real eighties.

Underwater art installations that become artifical reefs. So cool.

Part pep talk, part verbal hug, from the duchess of cupcake-lickers herself.

Have you ever heard of the pangolin? (Now you have! Hurrah new animals.)

A look at the new film adaptation of Jane Eyre. 

Two Firefox tools you should know about: Readability and Read Later.

Wayne Levin's underwater photography. A tranquil black-and-white otherworld. The rays are my favorite.

Copyright Embedding Tool for the Ultra-Paranoid Photographer (ha).

On winterizing yourself. Some ideas for staying sane and healthy in the coming season, for those of us in Places That Get Cold.

Confessions of an Introverted Traveler.

"Running is a privilege." A good reminder.

And on a more serious note...
Sofia's insurance won't pay for treatment for her eating disorder anymore (a common problem, unfortunately), so she's taken to the internets with her story and is raising money for her treatment through donations. Lots of small gifts are already making a big difference together. I gave $5 and was like, hey, it's meaningless on its own, but it helps nothing for individuals to think like that. If you're not able to give, won't you think about passing on the link on your own blog/Twitter/Facebook?

  2. I don't know how I feel about that Jane Eyre adaptation. The trailer looks like they're trying to do some Regency-era horror film. The actor playing Mr Rochester looks like he's got the character spot-on though.

    I also really liked that article about being an introverted traveller. Great linkage :)

    --xo.

  4. Wait, wait...I didn't look; is a pangolin that scaled, fur-bellied mix between a dragon and an anteater?
    That's a great article about the introverted traveler. That would definitely be me.

  5. Danielle - the internet rabbit trail, if not in my reader. that one is my friend's blog.

    R. - yeah, it's definitely a Hollywood trailer. I'll still see the movie, though, haha--though I doubt I'll like it better than the 2006.

    her - I'm glad.

    Jenica - yes! correctomundo. me as well (of course, heh).
