Andrew Harper

“The inconsistency of genius is a consistent theme of creativity: Even those blessed with ridiculous talent still produce works of startling mediocrity.[…] The larger point is that mere imagination is not enough, for even those with prodigious gifts must still be able to sort their best from their worst, sifting through the clutter to find what’s actually worthwhile.”

The Lions Mane Jellyfish // Huge

semigoodlooking:

The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world.

The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long. Pretty amazing when you think these things have been swimming around for so long.

They have hundreds of poisonous tentacles that it used to catch passing by fish. it then slowly drags in it’s prey and eats it.

That is terrifying.

Seriously?

We’re only two and a half weeks from the start of Sober February 2kDozen. You might be surprised to learn that actually looking forward to it.

I had a big realization about it the other day. Not drinking is easy. Duh. None of us are alcoholics, at least not yet. The reason Sober February is great is because it helps you realize what why you drink. Or more specifically why you enjoy drinking enough to think you can’t stop for a little while. In my case I use it as an excuse to be social. It’s a crutch that I lean on to get out of the house and having fun. So all of February I push myself to be as social and fun as I normally would be, only without relying on drinking to make it happen.

I’m looking for people that are participating this year. It’s starting to grow and I’d really like to try and make it a full fledged novelty movements like “Mo-vember” or “the 4th of July”. If you’re participating, read up on it and send me an email and let know why you’re doing it.
