Phirebrush view.submit.enjoy

we are an online magazine (art group if you want) that displays user submissions in monthly issues. These submissions showcase visitor submitted artwork, photography, music, desktop wallpapers and writings of various styles. Unlike most art groups and e-zines, we let ANYONE submit, trying to showcase both the famous and beginners, giving everyone a voice and a chance in the spotlight. Along with each issue we release an interview as well. We try to spread the variety around, one month talking to an artist, another month with a photographer or maybe a band, spreading insight into their minds and styles.

Jewish family flees Delaware school district’s aggressive Christianity

This is one of the many reasons why separation of church and state is a good thing. I’m keeping it here for the next time one of my extended family spams me a message as to why the ACLU is helping to destroy our country. Our problems are obviously a lack of 10 commandments in schools, not our Christian love of torture or hatred of those scary, scary gay people.

An Island To Oneself – Suvarov, Cook Islands by Tom Neale

An enthralling story of one man’s self imposed hermitage to a tiny island (atoll, technically) in the pacific.

This is the story of the years which I spent alone, in two spells on an uninhabited coral atoll half a mile long and three hundred yards wide in the South Pacific. It was two hundred miles from the nearest inhabited island, and I first arrived there on October 7, 1952 and remained alone (with only two yachts calling) until June 24, 1954, when I was taken off ill after a dramatic rescue.

I was unable to return to the atoll until April 23, 1960 and this time I remained alone until December 27, 1963.
