I was downtown today, and made a mad dash to catch my bus home. My trench coat was flapping in the wind as I had not buttoned it, and I was aware it looked kind of dramatic. I passed a guy on the street who was playing an uptempo beat on the bongos, and I realized I had unwittingly become a character in a 1970’s detective show. I totally cracked up, and almost missed my bus.

“She was my first crush as a kid. We were in the same class together, and she sat by the window, so I’d always pretend that I was staring at the tree outside. But I never had the courage to talk to her. I was extremely shy. Then over the summer I went to her twelfth birthday party at a water park. She walked up to me with her entourage of friends, and said: ‘I liked you all year. But you never talked to me. And now I’m going to another school and you’re never going to see me again!’ I was so scared that I couldn’t talk. That moment was such a small thing for her– she doesn’t even remember it. But I was completely traumatized.” (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Analogue Loaders by Raphael Vangelis

Driven by the concept of making the loading screen more interesting, animator Raphael Vangelis created a stop motion short depicting a variety of “analogue loaders.” Vangelis says he’s used to looking at loading screens on his slow computers, so he thought he’d make something fun out of the loading screen. 

Vangelis is a London based director and animator. He uses a variety of media and techniques in tandem to create his charming, tactile films. He describes his style as “stop Motion graphics and Graphic Design infused 3D animation.”

An astounding amount of work went into this little short, including 3D printing, designing assets in 3D on the computer, and creating 2D animated segments. Learn more in Vangelis’s behind the scenes video:

“ I met a group of teenagers called the Jokers. I was 25 and they were about 16. I could easily have been taken for one of them. In time they allowed me to witness their fear, depression and anger. I soon realized that I, too, was feeling their pain. In staying close to them, I uncovered my own feelings of failure, frustration and rage.”

Bruce Davidson, The Brooklyn Gang, 1959

I was on the subway and this girl got on. At first she went to sit next to me but she stopped and instead sat across from me. It made me pay attention to her, and I was instantly just thinking holy shit this girl is gorgeous. I done that whole thing where you try really discreetly check a person out (we've all been there). I think she caught me a little and I had to pretend to look at something else lmao. Anyway, I was in a bit of a daydream after a bit listening to music when she dropped some money and it hit my shoe. I bent down to pick it up and gave it back to her and just smiled at her. She smiled back, with this like really genuine smile. Like more than that polite half smile most people do. Just really warm I suppose. After that we both caught each other looking a few times before it was time to get off. I genuinely think that little tiny interaction was like the highlight of my day though. No idea why. It's really weird how something so small can make an impact on you, and how you can kinda fall for someone you don't know a little like that in such a short space of time.

“I covered a lot of Trump rallies as a journalist. I didn’t feel any hatred. People were more curious than anything. I was never assaulted. I felt like most people were just supporting him because he wasn’t part of the establishment. Or because they were tired of politics. But it was confusing. Because even though I didn’t feel like they hated me, these people were supporting someone who said I should be banned from the country. Even the father of one of my best friends supports Trump. This man had me over to his house. I went to Thanksgiving with him. My friend asked him: ‘Dad, how can you support that man? Our friend Zahra is a Muslim.’ He told her: ‘Don’t worry. He won’t do everything that he says.’ Today has been difficult. These last few weeks, it was mostly speculation. There was suspicion that most Americans supported him but I could hope that it was wrong. But now that hope is gone. And I have to feel differently. I have to feel like maybe most Americans don’t want me here. And I feel like no matter how hard I try, I’ll never be part of the community. And even if they’re friendly to me, or if they invite me to Thanksgiving, deep down they believe that America is a country that belongs to white people.”

We cast this message into the cosmos ... Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some – perhaps many – may have inhabited planets and space faring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe.
