when i was 12 i babysat this girl for a few years and she would come to me and show me her art, drag me by my wrists and point at the pieces she’d made during the week. and she’d be like “do the voice” and i’d put on a sports-announcer olympics-style voice and be like “such form! this level of coloring! why i haven’t seen such perfection in crayola in a long time. and what is this? why jeff, now this is a true risk… it seems she’s made … a monochrome pink canvas…. i haven’t seen this attempted since winter 1932… and i gotta say, jeff, it’s absolutely splendid”  and she’d fall back giggling. at the end of every night she’d check with me: “did you really like it?” and i’d say yes and talk about something i noticed and tucked her in.

she was just accepted into 3 major art schools. she wrote me a letter. inside was a picture from when she was younger. monochrome pink. 

“thank you,” it said, “to somebody who saw the best in me.”

do you ever just wanna sit next to someone and listen to everything they could possibly say about anything ever just because you like their face and their voice and their general existence

Sign language has regional accents. Those who are fluent can often tell what part of the country a person is from by the way they sign certain words. Source

Africa-shaped solar plant lights up Rwanda

It’s billed as the fastest infrastructure project ever built in Africa.

Only one year passed from signing the agreement to construct the 8.508 megawatt solar plant east of Rwanda’s capital Kigali to full production.

The facility increased the country’s generation capacity by 6%, lighting up 15,000 homes. With a field stacked with 28,360 panels, investors say it’s the largest photovoltaic plant in the continent’s sub-Saharan region, with the exception of South Africa. [+]

At Hartford’s King School, ‘Beautiful’ Support On First Day

Six-year-old Jamar Nickson was ambling down the sidewalk to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School on Tuesday when he walked into a symbolic embrace that was unlike anything people in the neighborhood had ever seen.

AJ Johnson, pastor of Urban Hope Refuge Church, approached Jamar and asked for two quick details, just as he had done for other students arriving at the north Hartford institution for the first day of school.

“Everybody!” Johnson shouted to the scores of sharply dressed black men lining the walkway to M.L. King. “We’ve got Jamar here coming to the first grade!”

The group — Hartford businessmen, lawyers, community organizers, city politicians, artists, neighborhood dignitaries, a police officer in uniform — erupted in cheers and whoops for Jamar, giving the boy high-fives and handshakes as if he were LeBron James being introduced at Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

“I want everyone to put their hands together for Odell!” Johnson said as another child, third-grader Odell Harris, 8, walked up to the school and was greeted by the dapper crew of well-wishers, men of color in suits and ties who came to show their support. It was a sight that left one King mother in tears.

“This is beautiful,” Kerryann Heron said.+
