Many thanks to Cassandra for her birthday sentiments. I agree! 

Also many thanks to Julie for this long, super fascinating article on CERN’s plans for an even larger hadron collider! (I mean, what could possibly go wrong?)

Lynsey Addario’s photos of life during wartime are heartbreakingly beautiful. Definitely worth a look.

Via Retronaut: Female motorcycle riders! Including Amelia Earhart on a scooter and an amazing English mail carrier with enviable shoes on a Triumph.
