I ended up losing track of my last, ‘hey, if you are a ds9’ post, but i need to make another one soon for a day when I’ll be watching tumblr frequently. There is a lack of DS9 on my dash and thus a lack on my blog and I have a sad.
I have two cool ideas for some Garak (plus one Bashir) to paint tho~ Plush thing happens first in an attempt to give my brain something new to do, but then I hope painting! (Plus commissions that are not DS9 even a little bit, but still good.)
Summer Flowers under Moonlight
“Mohe is the northernmost village of China. We’ve traveled there this summer for vocation. That night was so bright, the moonlight painted everything vivid. We could still see the Milky Way with naked eyes, which shocked me a lot. A little shooting star appeared above the path I stood.” - Coral Huang

In Photos: Portraits by photographer Jalani Morgan.
It’s always strange and a bit surreal to me when I look at a photograph of strangers and somehow manage to feel as though the person behind the lens has so aptly managed to capture the essence of those pictured. Perhaps it’s a bit of romanticism on my part, but I can’t help but feel that way when looking at the work of photographer Jalani Morgan. What may on the surface seem to be a simple portrait becomes an intensifying three-way relationship between the subject, the photographer and viewer. A two-dimensional image is brought to life and in a matter of seconds, upon gazing at Morgan’s portraits, I have no option but to feel a close connection to the unknown faces captured by his lens.
Jalani Morgan is a portrait, fine art and documentary photographer.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, and raised in Scarborough. He was influenced by his parents’ teachings of the African Diasporas and politics and through that is interjected into his art.
He produces work that investigates the representation from the African diaspora.
Currently he is studying at York University in Toronto obtaining his degree in Anthropology and African Studies.

Quoted from Sarah Kendzior’s “Surviving the Post-Employment Economy“
“In the United States, nine percent of computer science majors are unemployed, and 14.7 percent of those who hold degrees in information systems have no job. Graduates with degrees in STEM - science, technology, engineering and medicine - are facing record joblessness, with unemployment at more than twice pre-recession levels. The job market for law degree holders continues to erode, with only 55 percent of 2011 law graduates in full-time jobs. Even in the military, that behemoth of the national budget, positions are being eliminated or becoming contingent due to the sequester.
It is not skills or majors that are being devalued. It is people.”
Her work is frank, speaking of a reality I hope that will never be mine. At the same time, it gives me a strange comfort to know that I am not alone.

I will always reblog this quote. Hits way too close to home for me.

The most salient part of this, to me, is the underscoring of the fact that there is no “right” college major where you’re guaranteed a job forever. Conservatives love to pretend college graduates working minimum-wage or freelance jobs just didn’t “pick the right major” - those foolish fools studied the arts or literature or something else frivolous, so they deserve crushing debt and no job security! No. There is no magical college major that will let you sidestep the jobless recovery.

do you ever get mad because there’s so much wasted potential in characters and relationships and plotlines in some shows

So many directions she could have gone with this joke…out of infinite possibilities…she picked the best possible direction.
