You Don't Have To Be Rich In Your 20s: How Much Money You Should Actually Be Making

Money makes your house warm and your teeth clean. Money covers your feet and feeds your belly. Money awards freedom and issues respect. Money gives you life. Money also puts you in chains. Money is the only thing that can give you freedom while taking it away. It’s the root of all evil, the doer of all good and the very thing that defines our existence.

Tiny Batman Takes a Whimsical Trip Through the American Southwest

Rémi Noël's series of photographs featuring a tiny Batman traveling all over the American Southwest depict a more isolated side of the Dark Knight. "My Batman series was not designed as a series initially, but it became a series over time," Noël told Mashable.

Noël's photographs depict the landscape of each location in place of an actual road map.

Batman's journey across the Southwest, with a quick stop in New York City, depicts some iconic images of a bygone age of post-World War II America. "This is an extremely photogenic country I find, and you can take pictures freely, which is very nice, especially when you're a little shy like me," Noël says. Have something to add to this story?

These maps — colorful, inaccurate, cut from paper or painted on, make us want to take a thousand journeys. As Antonis Antoniou writes in the book’s preface, they “act as an antidote to cartographic monotony and the modern-day obsession for accuracy… Ultimately, it’s about storytelling. It’s about re-humanizing the process of understanding our surroundings and through this, ourselves. Borgarmynd, “Reykjavik Center,” from A Map of the World, Gestalten.

What is Poetry

It consists largely of oral or literary works in which language is used in a manner that is felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose. It may use condensed or compressed form to convey emotion or ideas to the reader's or listener's mind or ear; it may also use devices such as assonance and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word association, and the musical qualities of the language used.
