CaseymaloneWHY IS THIS OTTER SO WORRIED
Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium recently announced that it had welcomed a five-week old orphaned Southern Sea Otter pup from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

The female pup arrived at Shedd on October 28th from Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, where she spent the first four weeks of her life being stabilized. The pup has been doing well since her arrival, receiving continual care behind the scenes of Shedd’s Abbott Oceanarium, and she currently weighs in at just under 6 pounds and 22.6 inches long. She is the second pup from the threatened Southern Sea Otter population to reside at Shedd. Currently referred to as “Pup 681,” Shedd’s animal care and veterinarian teams are providing the continual, round-the-clock care she needs to thrive.
The small, vulnerable pup was found on September 30th on Coastways Beach in California, and, at that time, was estimated to be only one week old and weighing around 2 pounds. A citizen on an evening walk heard the newborn otter’s cry and quickly notified The Marine Mammal Center (TMMC). TMMC staff contacted Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otters Program, and scientists determined the pup could not be safely retrieved that evening due to the remote location and impending darkness. The following morning, the pup was still in the same location and determined to have been orphaned, and it was estimated she had been separated from her mother for at least 16 hours. Scientists from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Sea Otter Program responded immediately to recover the pup and transport her to Monterey Bay Aquarium.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter Program has been studying and helping recover the threatened Southern Sea Otter since 1984. The program works with other aquariums, such as Shedd, and wildlife rescue facilities to respond to every sea otter that comes ashore in distress along the California coast. Over the past 25 years, nearly 700 sea otters have come through this program.
Stranded Sea Otter pups require extensive round-the-clock care and there are only a handful of facilities in the United States with the available space, staff and experience to provide the appropriate care. Shedd officials and animal care staff quickly accepted Monterey Bay Aquarium’s call to provide the stranded pup with a permanent home.
To ensure the pup receives everything that she needs, a rotating schedule of six to eight animal care experts provides care and attention 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During this intensive nurturing period, she will remain behind the scenes in the Regenstein Sea Otter Nursery as she develops certain behaviors, such as grooming, foraging, and feeding, as well as regulating her own body temperature by getting in and out of the water.
As she acclimates to her new surroundings, Pup 681 reaches new milestones every day, including taking formula from a bottle, eating solid foods such as shrimp and clams and even climbing upon white towels when she gets wet to help her groom and regulate her body temperature.
More info and amazing pics, below the fold!
Annual surveys, from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), indicate that the Southern Sea Otter population index reached 2,944 in 2014. This number was a slight growth from 2,939 in 2013. Marking its 50th year of service assessing 74,000 species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classified Sea Otters as “Threatened” on the Red List, referencing the slow recovery of Southern Sea Otters in California. Southern Sea Otters were listed as “Threatened” under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 1977. The population of Southern Sea Otters has failed to grow consistently despite decades of federal and state protection.
With a long history of involvement with marine wildlife rescue projects, Shedd Aquarium is one of the first institutions to conduct training with Sea Otters to further their survival and care. After the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, Shedd participated in the wildlife recovery efforts and took in many orphaned pups. The aquarium is now recognized as an expert in rehabilitating sea otter pups. Nearly all of the Sea Otters residing in the Abbott Oceanarium at Shedd were rescued pups: three northern and two southern subspecies, including Pup 681.
Caseymalonethis will be a super handy recipe since everyone has all these ingredients laying around all the time
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting artist and photographer Julia Sherman of Salad for President when she interviewed my Julia for her blog. Salad for President is a fascinating project that involves a wide range of artists coming to the MoMA PS1 Salad Garden (which Julia S. maintains) and creating a salad. It’s a mixture of food and art in a way that highlights fresh local ingredients and artistic presentations. I’ve been following the blog’s projects all fall and was excited to hear that Julia had been working on a new project: a cocktail syrup made from the Shiso-Jalapeno grown at the MoMA PS1 Salad Garden.
Along with Morris Kitchen, Julia created this unique cocktail syrup and has been perfecting it in cocktail-form with some help from her friend and bartender, Arley Marks. Arley and Julia came up with a drink that combines concord grapes and tangy sumac. The tart flavor of the grapes pairs perfectly with the sumac (which has a lemony taste) and the syrup adds a kick to the drink that Julia loves. I’m so excited to share this here today and am excited to see what else Julia will create next! xo, grace
*Julia is hosting a giveaway on Instagram to win a bottle of cocktail syrup! Check out her Instagram @SaladForPresident feed for more details.The winner will be announced by 5 pm tomorrow.

CaseymaloneFUCK EVERYTHING, BURN THIS WORLD TO THE GROUND
Although I do like the Ecto-1 set and am happy for fellow Brickish member Peter Reid, whose exo-suit got turned into a set, I never cared much about Lego Ideas. However, today LEGO announced the next two ideas that are to be turned into sets and I like both of them.
The first idea is the brainchild of Thomas Poulsom, who by coincidence is also a Brickish member. It is the fantastic Lego birds project.
The set will undoubtedly be a bit different from the submission, but I’m sure the birds will be cute and I can imagine a lot of people finding inspiration in the set to build their own birds. What is not to love?
The second is The Big Bang Theory, by Alatariel and GlenBricker.
As some of you may know, I have a PhD in physics and when this show first aired the then-girlfriend/ current wife of one of my friends remarked how much Sheldon, Leonard, Rajesh and Howard reminded her of her boyfriend and his circle of friends, including yours truly. We never had the same superhero fetish as the characters in the show and, of course, she is far smarter than Penny, but I cannot deny the similarities. Somewhat worryingly, though, in The Big Bang theory it’s Sheldon who builds with LEGO, referring to his Lego Death Star in a number of episodes. In any case, the submitted model has all the characters and lots of details of Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment and I’d be surprised if the final set won’t include all of the characters as minifigs. Somehow I picture Sheldon’s as wearing a green T-shirt with a classic space logo.
CaseymaloneI really liked this book a lot!

Caseymalonealmost cried at work when I was reading this
(about / previously)
Every month I interview myself using questions I find online. This month’s questions are from a Cancer Risk Check. I am thinking a lot about cancer lately.
What is your gender?
M
What is your age?
It physically pains me to write it on the internet, where everything is inscribed in stone and you are judged forever, but: 40. (Yes I know, before you even say it: I look very good for 40.)
What is your race/ethnicity?
Caucasian (This was the choice that fit me best from the list, I have never used the word “Caucasian” to describe myself.)
Have you ever had colorectal cancer?
No
Has anyone in your family ever had colorectal cancer?
I’m not sure. No one in my immediate family, but maybe my maternal grandfather? He died in the 70s, and whatever killed him seemed to do so faster than anyone could put a name to it. My only memories of my grandfather are of him dying, and it seems disrespectful to write the vivid and specific things I remember about that time on the internet. He was, according to my mom, a good man who had a difficult life. He may have died of cancer. It was a quick and difficult death.
Do you have an inflammatory bowel disease? These diseases are not the same as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
I’ll say No but honestly some days I wonder.
Have you ever had colon polyps?
No and I refuse to google it.
Have you ever had prostate cancer?
No
Do you have one or more male family members who had prostate cancer?
I’m not sure. I think my paternal grandfather died of a stroke? And I don’t really speak to my father so who knows. He’s been in and out of the hospital more times than I’m sure I’m even aware of. He’s there right now, I’m told, via a Facebook message from my half-sister. Who, incidentally, has cancer. She just started chemo this week. That’s why we’re writing about this.
Have you ever had lung cancer?
No.
Are you exposed to secondhand smoke?
Not lately but back in the day, sure.
Which tobacco products do/did you consume? (Check all that apply.)
Cigarettes, Cigars
I mean cigarettes because of course, it was high school and we were dirtbag metalheads. But then we were bored and wanted to try something new and experimented with pipes and cigars. A favorite memory of my youth: two 16 year old boys drive into Hartford and go to the tobacco shop near the Hartford Civic Center. We buy some pipe tobacco, a few cigars. We’re checking out and the proprietor leans over the counter and whispers conspiratorially: We’ve Cubans. This guy! This business owner! OFFERING to sell illegal Cuban cigars to teenage boys! Who wouldn’t have appreciated them anyway! We screamed the whole way home. And also the “WE’VE Cubans” instead of “We have Cubans,” which promotes the whole affair to some lofty, rarified experience. Just, everything. I loved that guy so hard. Perfect human interaction.)
Do you currently smoke?
No, I smoked, but have quit.
How long ago did you quit smoking?
More than one year ago. Like 15 years ago to be more exact.
How long did you smoke?
I think ~10 years or so. Began when I was 14 or 15 and we’d sneak up into the apple orchard and just hang out and smoke for hours. It was great. I continued off and on through high school and college and a little after? Ro smoked when I met her and we had an only-smoke-in-the-kitchen rule and then eventually we both stopped. I don’t miss it, but I miss it. Or I miss the social part of it maybe. It gave you something to do while interacting with people, but maybe that has been replaced by looking at our phones. Maybe I just miss the not worrying.
How many cigarettes did you smoke daily?
Less than half a pack per day. It was only ever for fun. I maintained that I could quit anytime I wanted and I did.
Have you ever had melanoma, basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer?
No
Has anyone in your family ever had melanoma?
I don’t think so. Not sure how we’re defining family here at this point (or ever) but my only personal memory attached to the word “melanoma” is a phone call from my mom that began “So, I didn’t want to worry you, but I saw the doctor the other day.” (She was fine.)
Did you have one or more blistering sunburns during childhood or adolescence?
No. I’ve always hated the outdoors. It’s one of my favorite things about myself. And now it’s not even expected that kids will play outside unattended, so I was right all along.
Do you have 50 or more moles?
I’ll say no but I’m not looking, bodies kind of gross me out.
Are you outside between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.?
Um. The choices are Always/Sometimes/Never. I’ll go with Sometimes? Because not ALWAYS, but also not NEVER. Question poorly phrased.
Do you wear protective clothing when outdoors?
I mean define protective. I wear clothes that protect the world from my body. But probably no?
How many minutes are you physically active each week?
I am less physically active than the above descriptions. (The descriptions seemed outrageously optimistic to me.)
What is your weight status according to the BMI calculator?
According to the STUPID CALCULATOR I am overweight. Which, come on. I’m slightly doughy in places but I look okay, let’s be real. Especially for a guy who never works out ever.
Do you eat more than 18 ounces of red meat, such as beef, pork, lamb and goat, each week?
No. And in fact I’ve never had goat or lamb (or rabbit or a bunch of other animals) in my life so I feel like I should get extra credit of some kind? Am I less at risk for spiritual cancer?
Do you eat at least 2.5 cups of vegetables and fruits each day?
I mean. That seems like a LOT of vegetables and fruits. Every day?
Do you drink alcohol?
Yesss
How many alcoholic drinks do you typically consume a day?
I did some math because this is complicated and it depends on my week. But generally I won’t drink Sun-Tues but then Wednesday is like Woo we made it halfway so that’s one drink, and then consumption increases on through Saturday? Is that fair? Let’s say 10 drinks over 7 days. 1.4 on average. I would say I drink often but not to excess. (It accepted the decimal number, woo.)
Results: Your Cancer Risk Check Profile
(Results disregarded as unhelpful. They said Good job quitting smoking, you need more information about your family history, more exercise, less drinking, and more vegetables.)
I mean all of which I already knew. I knew I am at risk because we are all at risk. Cancer seems like a “When” not an “If”. I want to know which cancers I’m going to get and when. And whether it will really even matter if I pay attention to what I eat and whether I exercise.
And we didn’t talk about any of the things I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about my mother’s cancer. I was 16 and so checked out, so un-present, so un-helpful. Knowing what I know now about my parents marriage in the years leading up to their divorce I look back at myself then and think: You could have been more loving. You could have been more understanding. You could have been more present. One day I drove my mom to her chemo appointment and she said “Don’t park there, there’s not enough room,” and I was 16 and wanted her to be wrong and I said “No it’s fine” and I scraped up both sides of the car. Like 5 minutes before my mom was going in for her chemo session. She did not need that stress. She did not need me. As a parent myself now I know I would not have reacted as generously as she did (and she did not react well).
Also my brother had cancer, shouldn’t that matter? He has tattoos from where they did the radiation. I feel like that should have come up in this interview at some point.
I went to visit my sister last week. She had just gotten out from her surgery. She was smiling, moving around. Kind of in shock at what had been done to her body. The word “mastectomy” sweeps away a kind of violence. I had never really considered it, what it’s been like for my mother, who decided against reconstructive surgery. Getting dressed every day, a 25 year survivor.
I have so many friends with cancer, so many friends who parents who have cancer. It feels like it should matter.
I mentioned the apple orchard where I used to smoke and hang out and climb trees and steal apples. The orchard was up on a hill, and in the neighborhood down below, everyone got cancer. Like, seriously, there was a period of time where at least one person in every house in that neighborhood had gotten cancer. Surely it was more than statistically significant? I assumed there must have been something from the orchard that had leached into the groundwater over the years. I don’t know that anyone ever looked into, did anything about it. What could be done? Later the orchard was razed, there are mansions there now. I don’t know anyone who lives there.
My sister was feeling good when I visited her, just after her surgery. Hopeful. She was about to start 13 weeks of chemo and then 5 of radiation. We talked about wigs. Hats her friends had knit for her. I thought: it’s not the cancer, it’s afterwards, that’s the difficult part. But it’s not afterwards, it’s everything, it’s always everything.

This is a British dish, if the sharp cheddar, mustard powder, cayenne and charmed name didn’t give it away. I realize that British food has long been a punching bag for other supposedly superior world cuisines, but I found this to be anything but the case. Even if I had, the awesome names of national dishes — toad in the holes, bubble and squeaks, spotted dicks, singing hinnies, jam roly-polys and doorstop sandwiches — would have more than compensated for any failures in the flavor department.

CaseymaloneRIP Casey's $105 Dollars
Mondo is currently taking preorders for their first ever vinyl toy, Mike Mitchell’s Lil Mikey. It’s 9″ tall and costs $105 including worldwide shipping. Visit Mondotees.com.
Vince Toulouse has a keen eye for style with spacecraft, and one of his common hallmarks is a stylistic nod to art-deco and the extravagant elegance of the forward-thinking 1920s and ’30s. His latest clean mean machine is this fantastic white and gold ship, which looks ready to pull up to the curb and have a dapper gentleman invite you to a night of refined space-partying and literary discussions. (Or maybe I’m just thinking of Midnight in Paris.)
CaseymaloneAwful.
Dark Ink has teamed up with Dave Perillo again and, as always, the result is pretty amazing. “20 Years of Dreamworks” is a 12″ x 36″ screenprint, has an edition of 200, and costs $50. Visit DarkInkArt.com.
CaseymaloneThat last one.
Canada Lynx kitten, ‘Jasper’, was out enjoying the fall atmosphere, recently, at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, Washington. The six-month-old was helping the zoo promote their upcoming annual event, “Zoo Boo”, a special fall themed weekend that will be held October 18th and 19th.
Photo Credits: Point Defiance Zoo
Jasper was a feature on ZooBorns in July of this year and it is exciting to see him working toward fulfilling his duties as an ambassador for his species, as part of the Species Survival Plan. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums developed the Species Survival Plan (SSP) in 1981, in an effort to help ensure the survival of selected species. SSP programs focus on animals that are in danger of extinction in the wild, when zoo conservationists believe captive breeding programs may be their only chance to survive.
AZA accredited zoos that are involved in SSP programs engage in cooperative population management and conservation efforts that include research, public education, reintroduction, and field conservation projects. Animal Ambassadors, like Jasper, are an important part of the education provided by SSP programs. By being able to more intimately interact with the animal ambassadors, zoo visitors can gain an understanding about the impact each species can have on the world.
The Canada Lynx is native to North America, and it ranges across Canada, into Alaska and in some parts of the northern Continental United States. Although currently classified as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated the Canada Lynx as a “Threatened Species” in the lower 48 states. The species is trapped for its fur and has declined in many areas due to habitat loss.
More great photos below the fold!
CaseymaloneSo, this is super hilarious because I went to NYCC and there were like THREE booths selling swords for like, "2 for $20!!!" so I guess you can't bring in swords unless you get them there?
CaseymaloneWHY. They're SO BAD.
CaseymaloneThat Iron Giant poster looks terrible online but was absolutely gorgeous in person. Wish it wasn't Orange, as I have a No Orange/Teal Poster policy

(about / previously)
Q: Question.
A. Hi.
Q: Question.
A. Hit me.
Q: What is today’s date.
A. September 30, 2014.
Q: Which means?
A. Tomorrow’s October and everyone needs to change their Twitter names to more Halloween-ified versions.
Q: What else.
A. It’s the last possible day for me post my dumb monthly interview thing.
Q: OK So.
A. I didn’t feel like doing it this month.
Q: Oh you didn’t feel like doing it.
A. I mean I kind of forgot.
Q: Kind of.
A. Forgot slash remembered in plenty of time but then felt like Why even bother.
Q. What’s the matter. Are you sad.
A. Yes. I’m sad.
Q. Well it sucks that you’re sad but life is sad so do your stupid interview. You set these goals for yourself for a reason.
A. I tried! I have a whole list of interviews bookmarked so I can just scroll through and choose one and cut & paste the questions and be done in like 10 minutes. But all of them seemed super dumb, and I wanted to do something more relevant to what’s been going on on the internet recently.
Q. What’s been going on on the internet recently.
A. Everything terrible.
Q. Choose one thing.
A. I thought today was going to be good. Everything was off to a great start with that news about Roxane Gay and the Butter.
Q. Right?
A. But then there was more Ed Champion stuff.
Q. OK but we have to talk about that stuff. People feeling threatened by him and not speaking out was part of the problem, part of what allowed him to terrorize people for so long.
A. I know! It’s just: the author wrote this article for Salon and she probably meant well? I mean I assume she did. I try to always assume best intentions. but she did such a half-assed job, encouraging people to ignore him, as though ignoring abusers is likely to make them stop. And not even mentioning specific people he’d hurt, or even having first hand experience with some of what he’d said or written. It was like: is she trying to create something useful/helpful/meaningful, or is this about having produced internet content?
Q. Is that how you feel about your self-interviews? You’re just producing content?
A. Can we not make this about me.
Q. You made this about you.
A. Sometimes it just feels like: even when you try to help you do not help.
Q. Do you try to help.
A. I don’t know. I try to be an ally. I try to support my friends. I care when the people I care about are hurt or wronged. But also I feel most of the time like there’s nothing I can do. Or I’m not intelligent enough to have anything useful or thoughtful to add to the conversation. And also like maybe there’s some level where I’m part of the problem anyway. I mean I understand who I am and what I look like and what I represent.
Q. OK well I think you’re being dumb and I’m not giving you a peptalk. Some people are actually dealing with real things.
A. Also I’m sad about death, and I’m worried about my kids, and I’ve already been on this planet so long and done so little good and I feel like a pathetic waste of skin almost all the time sorry you’re making me be honest about my feelings on the internet which I don’t normally care to do.
Q. I want you to name 5 things that you like or appreciate and then I want you to go to bed.
A. 1. Tequila. I like Palomas.
2. I like how talented and inspiring my friends are. Like today Emily was talking about the new EmilyBooks on twitter, and then the Salon article came out and she went in on Laura Miller, and then a few minutes later she was talking about her cat. And I thought: that is grace.
3. I like talking about the internet with my friends IRL. Over the weekend some friends and I all shared how many tumblr followers we have and it felt illegal and delicious. Also I love talking about internet people IRL when you have to say their usernames out loud b/c their real names aren’t who they are to you and you hear how amazing and ridiculous it all is. (“taint_chakra” and “Big Titty Larper” were the names I had to say out loud in casual conversation.) Later we got to pet chickens.
4. I like writing and I like the stupid internet and I like writing on the stupid internet. It is full of problems but it is also the source of so many good things and people in my life.
5. I like that I get another shot at everything tomorrow. And I can learn and listen and fav things and be present and find ways to suck less and help more.
Q. OK. Good night.
A. Good night.
Q. Hey are you asleep.
A. No I’m looking at my phone.
Q. Can you do me a favor?
A. Spend a little more time on my interview next month?
Q. ilu
A. Good night internet. Good night brain, good night ideas. Good night people I love.
I’m really liking this new art print by Matt Loomis that will go up for sale today. “Drunk Wizard” is an 8″ x 10″ letterpress print, has an edition of 50, and is yet unpriced. It goes up today (Monday, October 6th) at 3pm Pacific Time. Visit InvisibleIndustries.com.
CaseymaloneSomeone please introduce Tyler Stout to a 3rd color.
Available for Pre-Order beginning today, we are pleased to present a deluxe vinyl release of the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Volume 1 soundtrack featuring original artwork by Tyler Stout. We listened to Awesome Mix Volume 1 pretty much non-stop the month before the Guardians’ theatrical release, and it’s unreal to have the opportunity to press the soundtrack on vinyl.
We released Tyler’s Guardians of the Galaxy poster a few months back, and couldn’t be happier to have the artwork reformatted for the vinyl jacket. And not only that – this release marks our very first screen-printed album packaging, so each jacket will have the look and feel of a Tyler Stout screen-printed poster. We are excited to work with D&L Screenprinting in Seattle, who will be screen-printing the front, back and even the interior of the jacket!
As an additional bonus, each record comes with one of nine randomly inserted screen-printed handbills featuring various characters from the film, which you can see below.
Unlike our vinyl releases that feature randomly-inserted variant discs, each of the single LPs will be pressed on 180 Gram Purple Infinity Stone colored vinyl. We’ll be sure to post detail shots of the disc soon!
Just in case you need more convincing, here’s the unbelievable tracklisting:
Because of the hand-done nature of this project, both with the vinyl and packaging, we do not expect these to begin shipping until the first quarter of 2015. Each record will come in a 3 mil poly bag to protect the integrity of the screen-print.
Come and Get Your Love!
And then a month or so ago I started following Frank Prisinzano, a restaurateur in my neighborhood on Instagram, a man that is unwaveringly obsessed with both eating and writing about crispy eggs. “The eggs should almost explode in the hot oil, the white should soufflé around the yolk” he writes, “the bottom should form a crispy crust hard enough that you can remove the egg from a normal pan with just a little scraping and shimmying.” You should eat it immediately, “like a steak,” showered with sea salt, pepper flakes, herbs or spices of your choosing.

CaseymaloneYes I will drink this thing.
Plus, there was so much that I didn’t understand. First, most recipes call for raw almonds. Have you ever tasted a raw almond before? They taste, to me, terrible, like waxy nothingness. Why stretch this waxy nothingness into a glass of liquid? However, you know that flavor you get when you deeply toast almonds to a nice milky coffee (mm, milky coffee) shade, that incredible flavor which is amazing in pastries as it is on salads and even for a plain snack?
