My awesome Batgirl costume. Unfortunately most of it was not appropriate for my child filled workplace for superhero day (the reason I bought it for), so I had to only wear some of it with my safe for work uniform.

This is what I live with everyday, and I basically want to throw up all the time.

(edit) This art does NOT belong to me. I don’t know who the original artist is. Please don’t accuse me of art theft!

It’s me, I did this a long time ago. If you google the first sentence my blog shows up. It’s not difficult, but I get it.

Here’s some advice for all you artistic types. Always put your name/blog/watermark on things you make no matter how stupid you think they are in the moment. You’ll wish you did later.

this is a great piece.

Recumbent around my laptop, rendered speechless by Elimination #6 of Strip Search [x]. A few tender moments from a great episode.

…I didn’t even realize half of the things I typed…that I was feeling like that…

Now I’m crying. Thank you whoever made this.

This helped me vent today

That was incredible.

i don’t know why… but i feel like crying :/ this is such a nice thing. thank you.

this is such a beautiful idea, I love whoever made this.

Whoever made this; Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is amazing. Just, believe me.

What the hell D:

The stuff I was typing I didn’t even know I felt.

I was using this website this morning and I started crying because I had no idea half the stuff was even on my mind, it was things that I hadn’t told anyone and hadn’t even told myself, and it really, really made me feel so much better.

Sometimes I’m not even really upset and I come here and feel so much better after just thinking things through. It lets you get so much off your chest, it’s great.

Tweenbots by Kacie Kinzer:

Given their extreme vulnerability, the vastness of city space, the dangers posed by traffic, suspicion of terrorism, and the possibility that no one would be interested in helping a lost little robot, I initially conceived the Tweenbots as disposable creatures which were more likely to struggle and die in the city than to reach their destination. Because I built them with minimal technology, I had no way of tracking the Tweenbot’s progress, and so I set out on the first test with a video camera hidden in my purse. I placed the Tweenbot down on the sidewalk, and walked far enough away that I would not be observed as the Tweenbot––a smiling 10-inch tall cardboard missionary––bumped along towards his inevitable fate.

The results were unexpected. Over the course of the following months, throughout numerous missions, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their start point to their far-away destination assisted only by strangers. Every time the robot got caught under a park bench, ground futilely against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passerby would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once was a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the “right” direction, if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, “You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road.”

The Tweenbot’s unexpected presence in the city created an unfolding narrative that spoke not simply to the vastness of city space and to the journey of a human-assisted robot, but also to the power of a simple technological object to create a complex network powered by human intelligence and asynchronous interactions. But of more interest to me, was the fact that this ad-hoc crowdsourcing was driven primarily by human empathy for an anthropomorphized object. The journey the Tweenbots take each time they are released in the city becomes a story of people’s willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of vulnerability, of being lost, and of having intention without the means of achieving its goal alone. As each encounter with a helpful pedestrian takes the robot one step closer to attaining it’s destination, the significance of our random discoveries and individual actions accumulates into a story about a vast space made small by an even smaller robot.

AwwWWWWWWAHHHHHHHHHHHH.

*weeps all over the place* I have robot feelings, okay?
