    i’ve actually already read the Locke Lamora series! (also, agreed. i like the worldbuilding in it quite a lot especially the sharks ah), but i will definitely check out the Otherland books! thanks! 80

    Oh! Hooray! Augh I love those books so much. (And the sharks are AWESOME.)
    Otherland is a worldbuilding feast, in more ways than one. It’s kind of about the idea of worldbuilding! (Which is something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately, so yeah. But anyway, they’re great!)

    If you’re a feminist who understands the (apparently not) radical concept that women can have penises and men can have vaginas (and that there are people with either or both of those who may very well identify as neither a man nor a woman), would you mind reblogging this? I could really use a little faith in humanity being restored right about now.

    ikenbot: delightfulrot: ATTENTION ALL GEEKS: Please click the image to donate to the the fund to buy the Wardenclyffe building, Nikola Tesla’s last labratory, and turn it into a Tesla museum. Read more here, or by clicking on the picture: Nikola Tesla was the father of the electric age. Despite having drop-kicked humanity into a second industrial revolution, up until recently he’s been an unsung hero in history books. If you don’t know who Tesla is, go read this. Tesla’s final laboratory is located in the sleepy town of Shoreham, New York.  It’s known as Wardenclyffe and it’s where Tesla attempted to build a tower that would provide free wireless energy to the entire earth. Unfortunately, Tesla lost his funding before the project was completed and in 1917 the Wardenclyffe tower was demolished.  Subsequently, the land was sold to a film and paper manufacturer. However, the land, laboratory, and foundation beneath the tower are still there and very recently went up for sale. And right now a non-profit is trying to buy the property and turn it into a Nikola Tesla Museum. The property is listed at $1.6 million, and this non-profit has received a matching grant from New York State of up to $850k.  This means that if we can raise $850k, New York State will match us for that same amount — putting the total raised at $1.7 million.  There is currently another offer on the table from someone who wants to purchase the property potentially tear it down or turn it into a retail establishment. There is no Tesla museum in the United States, despite Tesla’s extraordinary accomplishments.  If we can outbid this other person and buy the land it will permanently be protected as a historic site and eventually converted into a Nikola Tesla Science Center.  signal boost

    Important: All Bay Area Followers

    nuestrahermana:

    Stay out of Richmond and San Pablo and its surrounding areas. Chevron refinery set on fire & currently exploding. Hazmat alert. Anyone in that area, stay indoors, cover your doors with wet towels and seal your windows with tape. Winds can carry toxic chemicals to surrounding cities.
