Sarah Dopp splatters heartmeats onto walls like art.Tumblr (3.0; @messyfilter)http://messyfilter.com/“<p>A note from Kevin Marks: I liked this bit in Cory(Doctorow)’s Makers book: </p> <p>“Here’s what being a career activist means: you are on the road most of the time. When you get on the road, you meet people, have intense experiences with them—like going to war or touring with a band. You fall in love a thousand times. And then you leave all those people behind. You get off a plane, turn some strangers into best friends, get on a plane and forget them until you come back into town, and then you take it all back up again. </p> <p>“If you want to survive this, you’ve got to love that. You’ve got to get off a plane, meet people, fall in love with them, treasure every moment, and know that moments are all you have. Then you get on a plane again and you love them forever. Otherwise, every new meeting is sour because you know how soon it will end. It’s like starting to say your summer-camp goodbyes before you’ve even unpacked your duffel-bag. You’ve got to embrace—or at least forget—that every gig will end in a day or two.”</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://pistachio.posterous.com/cory-doctorow-on-being-a-career-activist-0">Cory Doctorow on being a Career Activist - pistachio’s posterous</a></em>http://messyfilter.com/post/268829250http://messyfilter.com/post/268829250Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:28:07 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krskf972Xb1qz8wjdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.instantshift.com/2009/10/12/mix-collection-of-99-stunning-photographs-to-refresh-your-mind/">Mix Collection of 99 Stunning Photographs to Refresh Your Mind | Inspiration | instantShift</a></p>http://messyfilter.com/post/217715340http://messyfilter.com/post/217715340Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:33:09 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZXE-4xWVMYE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZXE-4xWVMYE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://nonsense.giannii.com/post/169301479/yo-cookie-monster-is-tearing-it-up-at-1-26-is">giannii</a>:</p> <blockquote>Yo, cookie monster is tearing it up!

The plan is successful. His sons earn him a good income. Later, however, he comes into possession of a potent talisman — a strand of hair from the prophet Mohammed — and it magically heals the sons’ ailments. They’re no longer able to pull in big bucks, and grief descends upon the family. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I think there’s a variation on these themes at work in your own life. A “magic charm” is available that could reverse or at least neutralize an old handicap. Do you have the pluck to surrender the questionable rewards that your impairment has brought you?”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.freewillastrology.com/horoscopes/taurus.html">Free Will Astrology : Taurus Horoscope</a></em>http://messyfilter.com/post/157254903http://messyfilter.com/post/157254903Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:46:00 -0700<a href="http://personalmba.com/best-business-books/">Recommended Business Books</a>: <p>(bookmarking for myself. via <a href="http://www.twitter.com/shesgeeky">@shesgeeky</a>)</p>http://messyfilter.com/post/156537932http://messyfilter.com/post/156537932Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:55:56 -0700<p>The universe has been sending me submissive men lately.</p> <p>A lot of them.</p>http://messyfilter.com/post/145132274http://messyfilter.com/post/145132274Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:52:38 -0700<p>I found the perfect-sized cheap-ass flimsy-as-hell kindergardeny-looking shelving at Target (pronounced “tar-ZHAY”).  They’re assembled now, but still empty.  Meanwhile, my floor is still full of clutter.</p> <p>Packing and moving had a deadline.
