This Tree of Life poster is hard to resist. Stand back and it looks like a cool relief print of a tree, but once you get up close, the rings are composed of hundreds of tiny animals. How cool!
“If you’ve seen a better picture of a dog dressed as two pirates carrying a treasure chest today, I don’t believe you.”
You know what?
When I think about it. Properly. Of all the people who give a shit now. You’re the one who’s been here the longest. You’re the one who’s been giving a shit about me when I need someone to for the best part of a decade.
You are amazing to me. And I know you know who you are, because nobody else will even give a shit about this post.
So for you. Here’s a one of these things. <3
Keep it well, I don’t give them out easily.
Sincerely,

I found this man on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. He was leaning heavily on his cane, looking down, wearing a grimaced face. I felt bad for him, so I smiled and waved when I walked past. His face changed completely. He lit up, smiled wide, and gave me a cheery greeting. There was nothing forced about it. He seemed like a man who went through life looking for the smallest excuses to be happy.
I walked 50 feet down the sidewalk, turned around, and walked back to him. “I want to take your photo,” I told him, “because of how big you smiled when I walked by.”
He said: “Well I saw someone smiling at me who I didn’t even know. So I thought: ‘By God! I Better do something!’”
