The thing that is so intriguing about our hate mail is that the people who call us out as bullies will in the next breath throw out a bunch of abuse.
Guess what, behind this screen? Also humans.
Take your own advice.
Some of the overprivileged who’ve contacted us will tell you we respond well to civil messages. 

Pot, kettle, dickhead.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Five Centuries Ahead of the West

In Bukhara, Uzbekistan, Dr. Peter Lu was astonished by the beauty and complex geometry in the tiling of Abdullah Khan Madrasa, and decided to further investigate.

Dr. Lu (Harvard) and Dr. Steinhardt (Princeton) state that Islamic designers had mastered techniques ‘to construct nearly perfect quasicrystalline Penrose patterns, five centuries before their discovery in the West.’

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) may have been the earliest European who explored non-repeating symmetries. But it was not until the 1970’s that Roger Penrose described the mathematics of interlocking polygons whose pattern never repeats: quasicrystal geometry. “It shows us a culture that we often don’t credit enough and was far more advanced than we ever thought,” said Dr. Peter Lu. “They made tilings that reflect mathematics that were so sophisticated that we didn’t figure out until the last 20 or 30 years.”

The beauty of Arabesque is unimaginable. Mashallah! 

I’m assuming that most people their first love when they’re teenaged. That unbelievable hole that opens up inside them of longing and yearning, of pain, of joy, that huge great bundle of toxic emotions and allied to beauty and opening out into nature and to glory and suddenly connecting you with every love poet and every love song ever written, that explosion in my head and heart will never be matched. You can never hope to recapture the first fine careless rapture as the poet put it, but it stays with you like a good acid trip. You know, you get a little flashback every now and again. It will never leave you and it teaches you to look at things differently and to feel things differently. It educates your soul if you like, and all first love is unrequited ultimately because it’s so huge. It’s such an act of giving and it requires so much back that it can never be given back and in that you wouldn’t necessarily want to give them back. It’s just like a… It is like an atom bomb. It is like… It’s all the energy of who you are and who you want to be and what you love and what you hope to be explodes, and it is impossible for a single human being to offer that back to you in a mutual way. It would be like matter meeting antimatter. It’s sort of almost important that what you do is worship and yearn and long.

having one of those days where the inside of my stomach eats itself out and the juices start slowly dissolving the rest of my body and my eyeballs lie in an acidic puddle of anxiety and self loathing and all i want to do is lie inside and scream and scream but i know that i have to go outside today and do what i have to do and it feels horrible and i wish it would go away
