98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well recognized fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

“In short, social scientists have begun to recognize that any study of social conflict at the dawn of the twenty-first century, especially conflict involving culture and morality, must take fights over art and cultural expression seriously.”

“DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?”

mikasavela:

This is a portion of a panoramic photo by James Burke from Life Magazine, May 1960. It brought to my mind the experience of arriving in Athens some years ago. I wrote a little “notebook” back then about the trip, and looking it up, I decided to translate here the paragraph describing that notion of seeing the Acropolis for the first time.

People always say Athens is horrible. At least in the summer with the temperatures and the smog. But it’s not just about those things, and t-shirts and plastic acropolises. There is more, and that part is dream-like and Eastern. And Mediterranean, of course, but not in the Latin sort of way. Anyway, our flight was late and we were greeted by A, who started driving like mad and explained that it didn’t matter because Greece doesn’t have time as a concept. First we discussed the weather and things practical, but suddenly in the dark, at the end of a nondescript street was the Akropolis. And it was so hard to describe what we saw, because it looked totally unreal floating there all lit up. But at the same time we simply had to believe it, knowing perfectly well it was so ancient and old.

Thorncrown Chapel, Eureka Springs, Arkansas ~ Considered one of the finest examples of organic architecture, a philosophy credited to Frank Lloyd Wright that promotes a harmony between the natural world and human habitation. The non-denominational chapel was designed in 1980 by an apprentice of Wright’s, Arkansas architect E. Fay Jones. This unique & truly beautiful building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

sansasnark:

but it’s just so perfect for their relationship, brienne grabs his fork with a sort of annoyance like, she doesn’t wholly want to admit that she’s grown fond of him, and jaime comes in real quiet and subtle,which i think is often his way of caring for people, which is probably something he learned a long time ago, that when he needed to care for tyrion and cersei he couldn’t be loud and he always needed to be gentle, because when he dealt with his family he was always walking a tightrope, jaime’s whole identity up to this point has been as the rock of his siblings who hate each other, hes stability and comfort to people who are sloppy and angry and scared and ready to pounce at any time, so taking care of brienne comes naturally to him in that way,

Wisconsin Bill Would Treat Organic Milk, Sharp Cheddar, Brown Eggs as "Junk Food"

Wisconsin Bill Would Treat Organic Milk, Sharp Cheddar, Brown Eggs as "Junk Food":

heavytable:

Wisconsin ranks 44th in the nation for new job creation. Rather than rolling up their sleeves and finding new and innovative ways to help create jobs, the Wisconsin legislature is spending its time telling people needing food assistance what they should be eating. AB 110, which will be up for a vote in the Assembly on Tuesday, May 7, is geared toward limiting “the amount of food stamp benefits that could be spent on junk food.” But some of the fine print of the bill, bizarrely, would ban people from choosing more healthy and less expensive options for their families. The bill is one of many being considered that are unduly punitive of the poor.

Keeping our eyes on this piece of legislation.

Ugh. It’s things like these that make me want to go into Ag Comm even more.
