Graphic journalist Dan Archer recently spoke with several community members in Baltimore about the unrest there since Freddie Gray’s death. All drawings were done live while people told their stories and shared their thoughts. Archer visited Gray’s neighborhood of Sandtown and nearby areas, retracing Gray’s final steps before being taken into custody.

summertime sadnesssssss

[flipe-blog]

it’s pretty baffling how hard people will root against love. warning you about expiring (waning!) honeymoons, the horrors of shared living, the unhappy conclusion of long distance. like i get it, probs real in your experience, could end up being real in mine (not), but you really wanna lead your conversation with that? it’s like casually mentioning you puked last time you ate pizza just as i’m about to chomp on a hot slice!!!!!!!!!!

this isn’t happening to me specifically right now but stiiiillllLLLLL

In an experiment revealing the importance of having friendships, social psychologists have found that perceptions of task difficulty are significantly shaped by the proximity of a friend. In their experimental design, the researchers asked college students to stand at the base of a hill while carrying a weighted backpack and to estimate the steepness of a hill. Some participants stood next to close friends whom they had known a long time, some stood next to friends they had not known for long, and the rest stood alone during the exercise. The students who stood with friends gave significantly lower estimates of the steepness of the hill than those who stood alone. Furthermore, the longer the close friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared to the participants involved in the study. In other words, the world looks less difficult when standing next to a close friend.

my new favorite psychological study, done by Schnall, Harber, Stefanucci, and Proffitt and published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

The study in question is “Social Support and the Perception of Geographical Slant” and was published in September 2008; you can read it here.

All the new thinking is about loss. In this it resembles all the old thinking. The idea, for example, that each particular erases the luminous clarity of a general idea.
