Hey, just a heads up:

This isn’t flattering. This isn’t clever. I don’t get excited to see some faceless icon saying they want to have sex with me.

And it doesn’t upset me. I’m not sitting here weeping. But I get the feeling that people say things like this because they think it’s the grown-up equivalent of leaving a valentine in someone’s cubby when they’re not looking.

It’s not.

Honestly, it’s kind of just disappointing. Disappointing because I’m willing to bet that most of the people who leave things like this aren’t bad people. They’re not even the same people who would cat-call you on the street. But it’s a bummer to think that anonymity might be the only thing keeping them from that.

I don’t know, do what you like. Just know that if you think you’re being cute or coy or flirty when you do things this, you’re not. And maybe you’re better than that.

The things people do due to Anonymity…its honestly astounding.

Forms in Nature by Hilden Diaz is a light sculpture that casts shadows resembling tree branches on the surrounding walls.

I want this. My new goal in life is to figure out how to make one like this

Blood Falls, a Natural Time Capsule Containing a Unique Ecosystem

This five-story, blood-red “waterfall” pours ever so slowly out of the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valley. Geologists first discovered the frozen waterfall in 1911, and believed the red color came from algae. Its true nature turned out to be more spectacular.

Roughly two million years ago, a small body of water containing an ancient community of microbes was sealed beneath the surface of the Taylor Glacier. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, the microbes have remained isolated inside a natural time capsule, in a place with no light, oxygen, or heat.

The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the seepage its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the microbial subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

More photos of Blood Falls can be seen on Atlas Obscura
