Teaching our boys to treat ladies with deference, we choose not to place them in an athletic competition where proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty … Our school aims to instill in our boys a profound respect for women and girls.
—— A statement from Our Lady Of Sorrows Academy • Explaining their baseball’s team’s forfeiture of an Arizona state championship game, due to the participation of a female player. Paige Sultzbach, a high school freshman, plays second base for Mesa Preparatory Academy. When the two teams played throughout their regular season, Sultzbach went the way of self-sacrifice, willingly sitting out in respect of the school’s religious convictions. With a championship on the line, however, she was unwilling to sit on the sidelines to appease her opponent’s orthodoxy. As a result, Our Lady Of Sorrows straight-up forfeited the game. Said Sultzbach’s father, John: “Instead of changing their position, they decided to not play the game. Both teams worked hard to get to where they are and to have it come down to that is unfortunate.” source (via • follow)

PermalinkHere’s a really interesting photo, an intern from Facebook wanted to examine the locality of friendships, pulling some data from Facebook he created this image. What’s incredible is that lines don’t represent coasts or rivers or political borders, but real human relationships. Each line is a friendship between two people, and with enough information these friendships give us a surprisingly accurate map of the world, minus Russia, apparently Facebook isn’t too big over there.
You can read more about how it was made here. Also here is the High Res Version.

The Song in the Dream
Posted on May 5, 2012 at 10:16PM 14 notesPermalinkThe song itself had hinges. The clasp on the eighteenth-century Bible
had hinges, which creaked; when you released the catch,
the book would sigh and expand.The song was of two wholes joined by hinges,
and I was worried about the joining, the spaces in between
the joints, the weight of each side straining them.

My brain has informed my body that the semester is over, and it’s realizing what it did the past 4 months. It isn’t pleased.
