Gap and Walmart aren’t signing an accord for Fire and Building Safety, and have balked at the opportunity to do so for years. With over 1200 people killed in the most recent tragedy in Bangladesh, it’s high time the high-powered retail giants actually show some concern for the people who churn out their precious cheap clothing. Sign the petition if you want the abuse to stop.

topographe: Eugène Atget (1857 – 1927) The work of French photographer Eugène Atget documents the architecture and street scenes of Paris throughout the late 19th and early 20th century. What makes Atget’s urban landscapes particularly unique is the continual lack of human figures in his work. When viewed together, his photographs paint a beautiful yet disturbing portrait of arguably the most iconic city in the world; a private window into a lonely and abandoned Paris.

You’re going about your day, bogged down by a menial, familiar routine. Meanwhile, there are hands shaking, a tear rolling down someone’s cheek, a group of kids laughing, a man sitting on the hood of his automobile smoking, a curious pedestrian staring, and the beat of a city pumping inexplicably at its’ own rate.  Challenge your idealized conception of certain places predicated on books and what you learned in good ‘ol school, and check out “The Meanwhile Project.” Also, post videos from your city.  http://www.themeanwhileproject.com/ It’s like the coolest thing ever.
