8 Pinterest Alternatives You May Not Know About Pinterest has garnered a reputation (whether incidentally or intentionally) as a website geared mostly towards females who need ideas for weddings, home décor, and recreation. Maybe you like the idea of Pinterest but not its subject matter. Maybe Pinterest just isn’t for you. Is there hope for you? Yes, there is. As it turns out, there are many sites out there that have taken the core concept of Pinterest and spun it in unique ways. Juxtapost Juxtapost is a Pinterest knockoff but in a good way. The feature I like best in Juxtapost is the “More Like This” button. Use Juxtapost if you want to use a Pinterest-like site with many of the same features but presented in a different way.

Thisispaper Shop - What we save, saves us. Patatap La Fracture Française C’est désormais clair, il y a deux France. L’une est éduquée, l’autre non. Je ne parle pas de riches et de pauvres. D’intelligents et de limités. Il y a une France qui a poussé ses études et/ou travaillé sa vigilance culturelle, et il y a l’autre, frappée par l’illettrisme, le décrochage scolaire, le divertissement de masse, projetée dans la précarité culturelle, sociale et économique. Cette idée a été confortée ce week-end en lisant l’article de l’Obs sur les électeurs du FN. Cette France non éduquée se retrouve dans des idées simples. Je vois dans ce constat deux points négatifs et un point positif. C’est donc une sorte de fracture civile (« guerre » ?) Pris en tenailles, les gens de tous horizons retrouveront le bon côté de la force, le côté positif de la France. J’y crois. *Quand je parle d’éducation, je ne parle pas forcément de diplômes mais de curiosité d’esprit, d’accès au savoir, d’environnement familial favorable, de possibilité de se cultiver.
