I think that people are constantly thinking about capturing things that they’re not actually present for the moment they’re trying to capture. I’m quite sure of this. I think it’s insane how many pictures have to be taken these days. We have to realize there’s a level of documentation that’s just chatter, it’s noise, and beyond that, people who are trulydocumenting are going to have to find a way to puncture that. — Ian MacKaye (via photographsonthebrain)

We see a dog, it is barking. It could be a K9 unit. We don’t know. It is a dog. — CNN (via kateoplis)

Take it easy. Nothing you do matters as much as you think. Your greatest achievements aren’t yours at all, they’re accidents and jokes. You’re a puppet, the universe does the work, and it gets the most done when you’re moving the least. Surrender, flow, relax. Don’t be hard on yourself, don’t put pressure on yourself, life is just a chain of experiments and results, and you’ll be perfect when you’re dead. — Dan Harmon

jtotheizzoe: Last week’s reports that organic produce may not be more nutritious than conventional reminds us why oversimplified science may not be healthier for you. The study (which was really a study of studies), didn’t find strong evidence that organic produce contained more of the good vitamins and stuff when compared to “conventionally grown”. The problem is that many news outlets didn’t look beyond that. But the reasons people buy organic produce aren’t limited to just getting an extra 5% of their folate. It’s about reducing exposure to pesticides and other chemicals, it’s about supporting farming practices that are less harmful to the land and carry a smaller carbon footprint by not using chemical fertilizers, and it’s about reminding people to buy locally and in season, allowing produce to deliver its maximum goodness as evolution intended (not to mention supporting local farms). So while you may not get a vitamin boost from the expensive carrots, there’s many other reasons that people may choose to buy them. If we aren’t careful with the science, we could miss them.
