This lady rode up on her bike/scooter and stood around for a very long time. Eventually this other person showed up and took some pictures. Just another day at work.

What is it that stars get to do?
Recently, three (male) basketball players at the University of Oregon were removed from the team (though they waited until after the playoffs) because they sexually assaulted another UO student. They maintain it was consensual, the woman says it was not, and the Eugene Police Department declined to prosecute, citing lack of evidence. Susan Nielsen wrote an opinion piece about the incident. One sentence took my breath away.
Did you catch that?
“…treats its athletes like stars and then expresses shock when they behave accordingly.”
So that’s what stars do? Rape?
I’d love if we could move rape into something that is assumed will not happen rather than something that is stupidly, insanely, infuriatingly common.
Postcard from Singapore
This is from Kathleen, who lives in Singapore and makes it a point to read at least one book per month. She is a wedding cinematographer and has a blog. She sent along a great quote, which is also featured in this beautiful picture on her blog.
It also came with this fabulous “Vanishing Trades” stamp.
I kind of love Kathleen.
