Just only 13 years old, Zev (Fiddle Oak) creates a fantasy dreamland through his photographs. His camera is named Betsy. Zev’s sister and assistant Nellie is 17. They enjoy working and creating together. The magic of Fiddle Oak cannot be described in words; no word that already exists can accurately sum up the extreme talent and wonder of Zev and Nellie.

Kanye West getting deep on twitter
SOLID.
this is why I love this man.
Okay, if you don’t love Kanye, I question you and will forever until you learn.

Source: redkiteslongnightsWent to a writing workshop today. One of our prompts was to write a few six-word stories, and I came up with several, one of which read:
New skirt. Lipstick. Still called ‘Sir.’
When I read it back to the group, it got a very loud, prolonged laugh.
Immediately my thought was “Why would all of you, nice forward-thinking people, laugh at a woman who can’t get anyone to call her by the right pronouns?”
And then I remembered I wasn’t on tumblr.
