How did they learn my private dance for “Deceptacon”? Are there spy cameras in my apartment?
“None of Your Business” - Salt-n-Pepa
This video blew my child mind so completely that I still remember the first time I saw it: summer of 1994, in my Aunt Ro’s basement in Baltimore. Sex positive messages! Ladies in charge! New York accents! Salt-n-Pepa only gets better with time.
The class I’m a TA for is an advanced photo class, and we’re teaching the students to use large format cameras. Each student has been given a 4x5 camera to check out for the quarter. Madness!
I wish I’d had a class like this one as an undergrad—when I was in school, some of my professors did large format demos in class, but I never had the opportunity to play with one on my own. As a result, large format seemed mysterious and scary for a long time, and I didn’t get comfortable using it until I was well out of school.
A troop of wild mountain gorillas recently turned a typical ecotourism encounter upside down when the animals paid a visit to a tented camp in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

At first, “this baby kind of grabbed my arm in a very gentle way. I just can’t tell you how gentle it was. It was like a young child touching your arm in a way that’s very endearing. (You can read more about the experience on NationalGeographic.com.)
To add to the list of things things that turn me into a ridiculous, weepy woman (along with anything to do with US soldiers, 3 out of 4 episodes of Sports Night, and the music of Loudon Wainwright III).
