Social media vs Reality - The Insta Lie
Insta Lie (verb): an intentionally false representation of real life on social media. Examples include:
1.) Tagging an edited and made-up selfie with #IWokeUpLikeThis;
2.) Taking a million selfies before deciding on just one to post as #Effortless 😕;
3.) Going all the way to Starbucks, buying a coffee and opening up your Macbook - taking a photo of your #WorkSpace, closing your Macbook and then going back home;
4.) Using filters to edit your travel photos - making them literally look #Unreal.

Just acknowledge that all that shit is f**king bullshit
A very honest meditation. Love it!
Just feel the f**king nonsense float away. Breathe in strength ... breathe out bullshit. F**k that!
Try it, it works!

Racism is real
No news indeed. But the fact that this title isn't shocking anymore is shocking. It's still real. Racism, discrimination in general.
I'm tired.

The Poking Machine
Afraid you will miss a poke on Facebook? Don't worry. The Poking Machine, created by Jasper van Loenen & Bartholomäus Traubeck, is a wearable device that pokes you physically whenever you are poked on Facebook, no matter where you are.

Mark Laita 'Created Equal'
Beautiful project by Mark Laita 'Created Equal'.
"Created Equal is different from my other work in that it’s not politically correct. Perhaps it’s a reaction to all the years of working for advertising clients, producing work that was pleasing to look at. Almost all commercial work has a committee or focus group making certain that the end result is “nice.” I felt the need to produce something that was raw and real, as life truly is, not just what we aspire to.
The more shocking to our sense of what’s “right,” the better. That’s why I sought out the worst pedophile I could find (with a list of the most horrible convictions you can imagine) and a beautiful and innocent little girl (photographed with her mother’s consent of the pairing of images). If the viewer cringes from the pairing that’s great. I think a lot of us don’t think what you see in Created Equal exists in our city, but take a look at your neighborhood’s Megan’s list website sometime and tell me how “nice” your town is. Every city in the U.S. has sex offenders, prostitutes, drug addicts along with wonderful humanitarians, philanthropists and leaders. I aimed to depict our country as it is, not as we would like to think it is."
