Never, ever give up: Arthur's inspirational transformation

Suis-je normal(e) ? Psychothérapie de groupe sur Internet T-Shirt Underwear I know you've got them, lurking in drawers, the back of the closet, in the "giveaway" pile: those T-shirts that are, for various reasons, both unwearable and indispensable. They are too small, too big, too short, have a stain, a hole, or some other flaw, and yet you cannot bear to part with them. I took my old t-shirts and gave them new life. The Concept My first pair came about because of an ill-shapen tee with a great air-brushed-style kitty face on the front. Late one night I was folding laundry. It's true that, as an undergarment, not many people will ever see this creation.

Les "marchands de doute" nous trompent-ils délibérément ? - Sciences Le triomphe du doute - Victor Brauner - 1946 ©DR Au cours des dernières décennies, la science s’est transformée, à plusieurs reprises, en un instrument à double tranchant. D’un côté, elle sert à éclairer l’humanité sur le fonctionnement de notre univers et sur celui de notre corps. D’un autre, elle se met parfois au service de causes qui n’ont rien de scientifique. On a ainsi vu des chercheurs s’opposer aux résultats des travaux démontrant les dangers du tabac ou du DDT, établissant la réalité du trou d'ozone ou alertant sur les dégâts des pluies acides sur l’environnement. Telle est la thèse d’une historienne américaine des sciences de la Terre, Naomi Oreskes, professeur à l’université de Californie, qui vient de publier en France son livre intitulé Les marchands de doute, coécrit avec Erik Conway, historien des sciences au Jet Propulsion Laboratory de la Nasa. Comment la science s’est-elle laissée pervertir par les intérêts économiques et financiers depuis une cinquantaine d’années ?

Glass Beach – The Dump You’ll Want to Visit Before you say anything about the content of this article, I hate people who litter. I’ll judge you if I think you’re too lazy to recycle. I hate pollution and the death of our fragile ecosystems and all the rest. It’s like a little Inuksuk… I’ve been trolling around for lesser known landscapes to road trip to and explore, and stumbled across this chunk of multicoloured west coast paradise. These days, Glass Beach is a protected part of MacKerricher State Park, but in 1949, it was the site of an unrestricted dump. Eventually, California realized that dumping automobiles, appliances, toxic substances and razor sharp shards of glass into the water was probably a bad idea, and looked elsewhere for a dumping site. The beaches under the cliffs lay polluted, cluttered and ruined, and were basically treated as a forgotten ‘mistake.’

How I Can Afford My Life Of Constant Travel I’m confused. I’m simply confused as to how it’s possible that I have so far failed to properly explain how I’ve managed to travel/live/work abroad nonstop for 12 years straight (and counting). The questions are still pouring in every single day: How do you do it? How is it possible to travel for so long? And while I thoroughly enjoy communicating with readers (I’m being completely serious and encourage you all to continue sending your emails to me as often as you wish), the fact that these very questions are on the minds of so many of you out there has led me to believe that I need to do a better job at providing the answers. While it’s true that I’ve already written plenty of posts on the matter, clearly all of these posts, even as one collective entity, still fall well short of proving that a life of travel is not some crazy fantasy but a perfectly reasonable and easily attainable lifestyle option instead. So what am I to do? December 25, 1999: March 2000 October 2000 January 2001 April 2003

T-shirt bag diy « the tragic whale I got this shirt at Target without trying it on first (mistake) and didn’t know what to do when I discovered it didn’t fit. It wouldn’t have been a problem but I IMMEDIATELY rip all tags off of new clothes and throw them away after I go shopping. Every time. I honestly never learn. And by that time the receipt usually has chewed gum in it so… Yeah. But I’ve wanted to make a t-shirt bag for a while, and this turned out to be the perfect opportunity! The shirt: How cute is this, though? First I sewed the bottom shut: Then I did that thing (insert technical term here) where you sew the corners to give the bag a boxy shape. I cut off the arms and the collar, over-exaggerating the collar so the bag would have a bigger opening. I edged the handles with some black bias tape. And, that’s it! Use it for groceries, bring it to the beach, whatever, and it’s so easy to wash! Like this: Like Loading...
