Suicide, a Crime of Loneliness

Andrew Solomon on Robin Williams:

“He played an alien so well because he was an alien in his own mind, permanently auditioning to be one of us. Suicide is a crime of loneliness, and adulated people can be frighteningly alone. Intelligence does not help in these circumstances; brilliance is almost always profoundly isolating.”

The weather might have taken a turn for the warmer, but over at 10 tracks, things are still feeling decidedly chilly.

Anyone on Tumblr good at knitting? It’s for the best cause I’ve ever heard of - to keep penguins warm who had to be cleaned up after being covered in oil.

Please share share share!

A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment from which to look back or from which to look ahead.

A deserving winner of the Nat Geo Grand Prize and Nature Winner. Paul Souders, the photographer, called this work "Ice Bear", which is quite funny - I used to call "polar bears" "ice bears", because that's what they are called in German (Eisbaer). I think "ice bear" is much nicer.
