May 27 marks the 107th anniversary of the birth of Rachel Louise Carson, the environmentalist whose research led to the 1972 banning, in the United States, of [DDT].

The American-born marine biologist and writer is best known for her 1962 book Silent Spring, which is credited with launching the global contemporary environmental movement.

Silent Spring focuses on the impact of synthetic pesticides on the environment—with the title referring to the absence of birdsong across swathes of agricultural landscape following the widespread introduction of pesticides and other intensive farming practices.

The book sparked a public outcry, bringing to widespread attention the effects of these chemicals both on the ecosystem and on human health.

Although her research was attacked by chemical companies, a decade after her book was published, and years after her death, her book led to a nationwide ban of DDT, a colourless and crystalline organochloride with insecticidal properties, and other pesticides. Silent Spring demonstrated that these pesticides could cause cancer and that their agricultural use was a threat to wildlife, particularly to birds.

The sun indolently threw itself downward and we both began to search for your heart.

A strange scent – nevertheless, a perfume –

passed under my nose amid the sun’s fragile limbs grappling with that of your reclined cigar.

The sun and the moon commenced their waltz.

I figured a beast left with you because you were both hungry.

I stopped looking and stood In the room alone with your cigar’s ashes atop your wooden, chewed-up floor.

During the 1950’s, with vinyl scare, Russians began recording rock n’ roll, jazz, and boogie woogie on used x-rays that they gathered from hospitals and doctors offices. They would cut a crude circle out with manicure scissors, using a cigarette to burn a hole.

I Fought The Law (By Olivia Locher)

Many laws still in existence throughout the United States are wildly outdated, rendering them completely ridiculous, useless and bizarre. The absurdity is illustrated by New York-based photographer Olivia Locher, who catalogs the crazy rules and regulations of each state in a playful photographic series ‘I fought the law’. Take a look at the ongoing series below to find out more about the peculiar oddities present in the American legal system.

You might be surprised to learn that: In Alabama it is illegal to have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at all times. In Maine it’s unlawful to tickle women under the chin with a feather duster. In Oregon one may not test their physical endurance while driving a car on the highway. In Rhode Island, it is illegal to wear transparent clothing. In Utah no one may walk down the street carrying a paper bag containing a violin. It’s illegal to serve wine in teacups in Kansas. Arizona residents may not have more than two dildos in a house. Nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool in California. In Wisconsin it is illegal to serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese. In Hawaii coins are not allowed to be placed in ones ears.
