The conference was chock-full of talks and interactive workshops focused on putting good ideas into action, and Wendy’s drawings captured the thunder.</p> </blockquote>http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22846963869http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22846963869Fri, 11 May 2012 12:11:00 -0500Wendy MacNaughtonace hotelbehancecreativitydesignillustration<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tpvmWoEb1qzs3xio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Metro Vert II by Laurie Victor Kay.</p>http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22845635856http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22845635856Fri, 11 May 2012 11:36:30 -0500photographyLaurie Victor Kaysubwaymetro<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tgbspitP1qzs3xio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gautsche/7140597629/" target="_blank">Elevated.</a> </p>http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22793818984http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22793818984Thu, 10 May 2012 15:11:00 -0500photographyblack and whitechicagoeltrainpopular<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tfopTQr11qzs3xio2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tfopTQr11qzs3xio1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Scenes from a fortune cookie factory in San Francisco’s Chinatown by Ariel Zambelich.</p>http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22784288297http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22784288297Thu, 10 May 2012 11:45:27 -0500photographyAriel Zambelichfortune cookiefortune cookiessan franciscofoodchinatown<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3qlayjGzl1qzs3xio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Somerset County by Matthew Porter.</p>http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22779528929http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22779528929Thu, 10 May 2012 09:27:43 -0500photographymatthew portercars<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rumpR0Vk1qzs3xio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Future U.S. History Students: ‘It’s Pretty Embarrassing How Long You Guys Took To Legalize Gay Marriage’</strong></p> <p>DECATUR, IL, THE YEAR 2083—According to students in Mr. Bernard’s fourth-period U.S. history class, it’s “really pathetic” how long it took for early-21st-century Americans to finally legalize gay marriage.</p> <p>The classroom of 15-year-olds at MacArthur High School—all of whom were born in the late 2060s and grew up never questioning the obvious fact that homosexual couples deserve the right to get married—were reportedly “amazed” to learn in their <em>Modern U.S. History: 2081 Edition</em> textbooks that as late as the 2020s, gays and lesbians actually had to fight for the constitutional right to wed.</p> <p>“Wow, that is nuts,” said student Jeremy Golliver, who claimed he knew gay rights was a struggle “like, a hundred years ago” but didn’t realize it lasted so long. “It’s really embarrassing, when you think about it. Just the fact that people in this century were actually saying things like, ‘No, gays should not be allowed to marry,’ and were getting all up in arms about it, as if homosexuals weren’t full citizens or something. It’s insane.”</p> <p>“I mean, was everybody just a huge bigot back then or what?” Golliver added.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/future-us-history-students-its-pretty-embarrassing,19099/#enlarge" target="_blank">Continued at The Onion.</a></p>http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22730451015http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/22730451015Wed, 09 May 2012 15:10:53 -0500the onionobamagay marriagepolitics
