Hi guys.

I’m so glad so many of you are reading this project, because its something very dear to me and the fact that there are people reading this motivates me to go deeper into this and not shove this project to the side.

Bless you all.

BUT

I’m applying to universities for my MA and that takes time. Unfortunately, I foolishly let real life take a backseat to this blog and now one of the courses I really wanted is Limited Availability now.

In short.

I would really, REALLY appreciate it if you guys could pitch in and submit any pictures you might find which you think could work on this blog. I end up spending about four or five hours at a go finding blog entry appropriate pics and then another hour or so editing them so they look good. In proportion, it usually takes me about an hour to write and edit a post so that its ready to go. The more pics I get, the quicker I can upload, the more you guys get to read. So…

Themes that will be turning up sooner or later:

- Slaves: ok this is URGENT. I need pics of slaves in slave ships - they could be paintings or screencaps, but high quality, high resolution stuff.

- Mughal art & colonial Bengal era photos/pics etc.

- ooo photos from post-war britain, preferably of immigrants from South Asia and the Carribean.

- Celts: red haired ones preferably. + points if they’re painted in blue.

- Scottish clansmen: erm. yeah. Battle scenes esp?

- Saxons: farmers, battles, bonus points if you can find something to do with the Night of the Long Knives. Or like people being butchered at a dinner table. (No, the Red Wedding is too obvious a reference sorry.)

- Hogwarts House motifs: um. Minimalist, preferably. Also if you can get actual pics of animals/people which look nice/fit the pic quality or themes used so far = great.

- 1920s era dudes in a dudeclub. A bit like the Drones club from P G Wodehouse. I have some art for this already, but I like to have a stock to choose from. Tweed+suckerseer suits also work.

- things which could pass for Azkaban. Gloomy stuff.

All submissions should have a source link and I will credit your sumissions at the end of each post. <3

I will be posting, don’t fear, but I would dearly appreciate the help since I’m a bit swamped at the moment.

[[The loveliness behind Postmodern Potterverse has been a huge supporter of this project. I can totally relate to their struggle - I too prefer writing to picture-hunting and I don’t even have workable image editing software so trying to make things look good take up a LOT of time. If you have resources do share!]]

I wanted to draw a tractor, and then I wanted to draw Aoyama and Yaoyorozu, so there it is. Maybe they picked up an interest in farming after graduating from UA?

Book Review: The Pocket Book of Adventure Stories

Book Review: The Pocket Book of Adventure Stories

Book Review: The Pocket Book of Adventure Stories edited by Philip Van Doren Stern

In his introduction, the editor talks about the thrill of adventure stories, how often they are churned out as cheap entertainment, and that he has selected twelve really good ones for the reader. This 1945 book was designed to be easily shipped overseas to soldiers, after one finished it oneself. I like to think…

North Korean tractors towing trailers with mortars and ATGMs mounted.

All in all a very weird but probably effective weapons platform that would seriously complicate any ground war if deployed en masse.

The second shows MRLS tubes moved by tractors.

Eat Your Greens and Veggies Every Day!

For the last 3 months I have been studying with my amazing teacher Clinical Nutritionist Liana Shanti at her Health Mastery Institute to become a Health Wellness Coach. I am studying about innovative nutrition, mind and body wellness education, raw food plant base diet and natural healing techniques. The more I learn from Liana the more I understand that organic, fresh, plant base high raw vegan diet is the key to healthy body. If you want to learn more please check out her website for more information.

Vegetables truly are one of the best sources of vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals you can find, which makes them excellent food cures. You should be getting at least five servings of vegetables daily, but I encourage you to eat even more than that, since they’re so good for you.

I know that many people won’t eat this big amounts so the best way to incorporate veggies and greens in daily routine is to drink green juice and green smoothie every day. One of the great things about eating your daily servings of vegetables is that they provide you with an array of nutrients, including the B vitamins folate, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin B6; antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, quercetin, and anthocyanins; and countless other phytonutrients. So eat, drink your greens and veggies they are the best food on this planet!

Despite the frigid mornings & frozen fingers, I find myself missing this recent farm season unlike any before. The friendships I built, the language I learned, and the growth I underwent have left me astonished by the beauty of this world.

I miss harvesting turnips, bunching herbs, hoeing lettuce in the high tunnels and singing songs en español. I miss the sweet smiles of my hardworking compañeras when they greeted me at the beginning of another work day. I miss Monday night mead after work, and building the bus on our days off. I miss all our friends, and our endless inside jokes, and our long talks about life, in the mist of Oregon fog.

I miss it all so much it hurts, but we will return soon. We are on to new adventures (but change takes so much time & discomfort). Oregon was comfortable, cozy, and homey. We always push ourselves into new situations just as we finally settle into a place. We hit the road right after we found real community… and I’ll be honest: sometimes I question why.

Evacuee Property


In remembrance of Executive Order 9066, signed this day in 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, we share a passionate letter written by 25 year-old Yoshio Nakada.  Nakada was removed from his citrus ranch near Asuza, California, as a result of the creation of military exclusion areas along the west coast of the United States.  Nakada and his family were removed to the Los Angeles County fairgrounds, and later sent to Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming. Relocatees could only take what they could carry, and much of their property was subsequently sold at auction. The U.S. Department of Agriculture War Board for Los Angeles County wrote to Mr. Nakada encouraging him to sell his idle farm equipment rather than letting it go to auction. This letter is his response.

The full text of E.O. 9066 is available on archives.gov
