Tell yourself
as it gets cold and gray falls from the air
that you will go on
walking, hearing
the same tune no matter where
you find yourself—
inside the dome of dark
or under the cracking white
of the moon’s gaze in a valley of snow.
Tonight as it gets cold
tell yourself
what you know which is…
Lovely poem.
Happy Hols. Everybody.

Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars “Safe & Sound” (from The Hunger Games Soundtrack) (by TheHungerGamesMovie)
Did you guys know this existed? Or even was happening?
I will say this: Even though I’m not a Swift fan, I think she’s a good fit for this movie. Though she’s older than the characters themselves, her music appeals to the YA audience.
And I think the lyrics and tone work:
Everything’s on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music’s gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound
Wow. I’m not a Taylor fan either. But you’ve got to admit its a pretty nice song for the film.

This looks like something that you would find on the imagination foundation.

African Ratel, or Honey Badger
The earliest descriptions of the ratel that I can find describe it as a repulsive and lazy creature, with an awkward waddle and thieving ways (as they were thought to steal honey from beehives - no one realized they were after the bee larvae until the turn of the century). Really, no one took much interest in them, and as largely solitary creatures, they weren’t the easiest targets for study.
Still, by the time this photograph was taken (at the Transvaal Zoological Gardens in Transvaal Colony, South Africa), people that were around the ratel had a hell of a lot more respect for them. It’s written that they were fighters with tenacious ways, whose “waddle” was caused by the size of their muscles and depth of their chest (lending them great endurance), and that they could dig as well as they could climb. Yes, the Zoological Gardens found that out the hard way. Their ratel apparently escaped at one point. I don’t know if this is the escapee or a different one, but he looks fierce.

life:
A multitude of sedans appears to kneel before larger-than-life Charlton Heston as Moses, his arms flung wide, as he parts the Red Sea in Cecil B. DeMille’s Hollywood epic, The Ten Commandments, at a Utah drive-in.
As in his classic photo of people watching a 3-D movie at Hollywood’s Paramount Theater in 1952, J.R. Eyerman’s wry take on popular culture manages to distill in a single photograph the sometimes unsettling power of the moving image.
