From a press release:

This Saturday, May 18, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C. [500 17th Street NW] will participate in Art Museum Day, an initiative of the Association of Art Museum directors by providing visitors FREE admission to the Corcoran, Washington’s oldest museum.

Additionally, the Corcoran will offer free admission on Saturdays starting Memorial Day weekend and lasting all summer long, as part of its Free Summer Saturday promotion.

AAMD’s Art Museum Day coincides with International Museum Day, organized annually around the world by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Participation by AAMD member museums emphasizes the lasting impact art museums have on their communities, highlights the value of visual arts in society, and provides opportunities for audiences to participate in wide-ranging programs and share their encounters with works of art.

There are many reasons to love the Corcoran, and free admission this Saturday is just one of them.

Jury nullification. Pass it on.

Jury nullification is so fucking important.

This is something that more people should be aware of, if only because (in many states, at least) defense attorneys are actually prohibited from mentioning it to jurors. The law allows a jury to return a “not guilty” verdict contrary to the facts of the case, but not for the defense to inform them of that power or to argue for its application in the current trial.

I didn’t know about this. Wow.

French Artist JR Creates a Stunning New Mural in Berlin

We have seen thought-controlled bionic legs and a 3D-printed printed object, but now researchers have developed the world’s first remote-controlled helicopter that is powered entirely by human thought. Using a non-invasive cap that captures electrical energy generated by thinking about movement in particular, researchers from the University of Minnesota’s Institute for Engineering in Medicine managed to fly the helicopter through an obstacle course with a 90 percent accuracy rate.

Tall Painting – The art of dripping paint. Artist Holton Rower

I want all of the femme bow ties for my femme boy

There are few days of the week that give me internal panic attacks the way that a Sunday night does. The moment I crack my eyelids open on Sunday morning is the moment that the first thought that immediately runs through my head is there are less than 24 hours standing between Sunday and Monday – and it’s time to get all the things done that I’ve been putting off all weekend. Grocery store runs! Laundry! Writing! Even the smallest task suddenly seems so overwhelming. An online bill payment only takes a few minutes with a couple of confirmations to make but it’s as if you just asked me to start climbing Mount Everest, I’m that deep inside of weekend mode. Many of these items on my mental “to-do” list require more focus than others so how does one wind up making the most out of their Sunday night and avoid the “Help I didn’t do enough, I feel like I’m flunking life!” jitters?

1) Meet early deadlines whenever possible.

If you have a deadline for something, be it a freelance assignment or a project for school; work on it to the best of your ability throughout the week whenever you have a free moment. Get bits and pieces of it done here and there. Doing this on top of school, extracurricular activities, work, and y’know, eating and trying to get some sleep, may make you feel stretched a little thinner than usual but once the weekend arrives and you only have to spend a small chunk of time wrapping up any loose ends, you’ll be happy that you worked ahead early enough rather than waited until the last possible minute.

2) Make Monday a day to look forward to.

It’s Monday and author and career coach Ford Myers agrees, saying, “You need something to look forward to right at the beginning of the week.” Grab some coffee from Coffee Bean before class, make a new Pandora station to work out to or find a nom-nom-nom delicious looking recipe to use for dinner that night. One of my favorite Monday morning activities is to read NY Mag’s Vulture recaps of Sunday night’s episodes of Game of Thrones and Mad Men because I’m still jazzed on what I watched the night before and they’re always pretty spot-on and funny. And while we’re on the topic of finding something to look forward to on Mondays, feel free to make that plural with several things scheduled in that day to make it even more exciting to look forward to.

3) Chill out. Go easy on yourself.

When did it become acceptable to lie in bed on Sunday night feeling inadequate because you weren’t pushing yourself to the absolute brink for two days straight to get everything ever accomplished? Weekends are supposed to be slow! You’re supposed to have a good time out and about with friends and put all things work related on hold for a hot second. All work and no play ensures that we all lose sight of what’s in front of us, but beating yourself up over the play not being work-related has got to stop. If you can’t get something done that doesn’t come with a due date the next day, then relax, acknowledge that, and let it go. And repeat. Nobody ever has more time than anyone else in the world so go easy on yourself and enjoy the memories made in the moments you created over the weekend.

(Just don’t read this to your teacher/boss on Monday morning and say, “Well, Heather says it’s only natural to let that book report/department assignment slide for the day.” I’d rather not worry about getting those kinds of emails first thing in the morning, mmm-kay?)

“I love identifying the divine source as the “Universe” because it implicates you and me, inherently.

It does not conjure thoughts of one person or entity. It does not invoke a man, a prophet or a hierarchy. It invokes us, and by calling on it we affirm that we are a part of the power that answers our own prayers and wishes — not an external source or an all mighty white man.

Because the Universe is you … and yo mama. You both are the universe. We all are the divine power. “

Collecting these because no one understands their genius. They make me want to go to school.

my favorite one: That is Mahogany! 

No, no, no, the one that says in highlight that “your son contradicted me numerous times when I insisted that the length of one kilometer was greater than that of one mile” before going on to say “In the future, Alex would be better off simply accepting my teachings without resistance.”

I always KNEW that high school was meant to encourage our young students to blindly follow the suggestions of their piers, local authorities, doctors, politicians, or just anyone at all in general without any kind of thought or personal opinion of your own in order that we raise a country of programmed, conformist automatons with no thinking ability whatsoever.

If this teacher hasn’t been fired yet, then I know I am well justified in my loss of faith in humanity, and that my decision to home school any children I may ever have is not only within their best interests, but mine as well because I’d get a note from school like this every damned day.

Just sayin’.

^ This. This is what I was thinking — yes, the other slips are funny, but that one in particular is not. It reminded me of a similar experience I had.

rainbow-arsenic-pixie-sticks —-as a parent and a teacher i happen to find these hilarious.  teachers seem to take time out from teaching to worry about the most mundane things.  sad really - sometimes a little humor breaks up the monotony of classes! 

“Picture yourself when you were five. In fact, dig out a photo of little you at that time and tape it to your mirror. How would you treat her, love her, feed her? How would you nurture her if you were the mother of little you? I bet you would protect her fiercely while giving her space to spread her itty-bitty wings. She’d get naps, healthy food, imagination time, and adventures into the wild. If playground bullies hurt her feelings, you’d hug her tears away and give her perspective. When tantrums or meltdowns turned her into a poltergeist, you’d demand a loving time-out in the naughty chair. From this day forward I want you to extend that same compassion to your adult self.”

Of course this is applicable to all genders! 

Everyone can benefit from treating themselves with the love, patience, and attention which they would give a child.
