The #13thFl is going on hiatus. There's some regrouping and revamping that needs to be completed. This will allow us to present things with a level of quality commensurate to our intended efforts. While we work behind the scenes, feel free to send your name and contact information to [email protected]. You'll be one of the first to be updated on what we're doing and to receive our future newsletter. Until then, keep creating!

Diversity isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s actually just the way we all live our lives. Letting the stories and creative teams reflect that just makes sense as a way to nurture good, honest storytelling for everybody.

Classic musicians in shirts of future bands they’d inspire

We’re all used to seeing our favorite current musicians wearing shirts from their favorite older bands who inspire them. In his “Reversed Music Icons Fandom Project,” Brazilian graphic designer Butcher Billy portrays a fantastic world in which older artists are wearing the shirts of the not-yet-formed bands who they would inspire.

These artists are making thousands of dollars — and their livings — off of Tumblr

We talked to David Hayes, Tumblr's head of creative strategy, about the advertising program that helps artists make their livings off the site.

Magnet, 18x24' pastel and charcoal by @mylasart This was a different spin on the aurora borealis. What's usually conveyed in pictures are brightly lit shots. Myla used colors we wouldn't typically see to highlight the lights ability to illuminate the sky. Beautiful. #ART #13thFl #13thVisualArt #13thResidentArtist

#IdaBWells would have been 153 years old today so #GOOGLE chose to celebrate her life with this doodle. It is meant to remind us of the insatiable reader, talented writer, and steadfast supporter of civil liberties, that she was. So, happy birthday, Ida B. Wells! #13thFl #ART #13thVisualArt #13thLiteraryArt #illustration #illustrator #MattCruickshank

It would be just as well, we think, if educators clung to this great phenomenon and did not get sidetracked, for although books and reading may at times have played too large a part in the educational process, that is not what is happening today. Indeed, there is very little true reading, and not nearly as much writing as one would suppose from the towering piles of pulpwood in the dooryards of our paper mills. Readers and writers are scarce, as are publishers and reporters. The reports we get nowadays are those of men who have not gone to the scene of the accident, which is always farther inside one’s own head than it is convenient to penetrate without galoshes.
