It may sound unbelievable, but even jellyfish can be farmers. These incredible medusae, also known as lagoon jellyfish, grow algal food inside their own tissues. During the day, spotted jellyfish typically orient themselves to get maximum sunlight to ensure their photosynthetic crop will flourish. They spend most of their time chasing the sunlight and tending their internal gardens.

The Most Beautiful Suicide
On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ … Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale’s death Wiles got this picture of death’s violence and its composure. The serenity of McHale’s body amidst the crumpled wreckage it caused is astounding. Years later, Andy Warhol appropriated Wiles’ photography for a print called Suicide (Fallen Body).

Wow. Fuck our government.
White people = innocent until proven guilty; still innocent even when found guilty.
Brown/Black people = guilty, guilty, guilty - oh, wait, you’re innocent? You’re still Brown/Black, so, fuck that, you’re guilty!
