We are retiring Our Descent Into Madness because it no longer reflects who we are or what we want to say and do. We look at it now and see versions of ourselves that have long since departed. The archives will remain up, but comments have been permanently turned off.

We had a wonderful time here for nearly three years; thanks to all the fascinating people who read and commented during that time.

Please visit Daisy at her new blogging project, Dear Diaspora. Emily will return to the world of blogging as well, in her own time.

Look at those cheesy effects! Hahaha

I had forgotten just how young and androgynous they were.

As a (temporary) parting gift, I offer this (not-so) final YouTube video comprised of clips from the ’77 movie Gizmo!, which I have not seen, but would like to ASAP.

:)

That aside, here are some interesting links.

1. What the collapse of the Soviet Union can teach us about the probable collapse of the US. (Via How To Save The World.)

2. Don’t Divorce Us! — a very sweet video fighting Prop 8.

3. A Gentile Privilege Checklist.

4. And on a completely different note, pygmy seahorses!

Using current photographic technology and a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) I have created grand scale micrograph interpretations of their research. In this series I selected perspectives of unusual microscopic happenings within the actual nano structure samples to blur scale into seemingly familiar human settings.

They’re pretty neat. Check ’em out.
