On Tuesday Ryan Taylor, 30, a theater director in Washington, got the last serving of pumpkin curry at the Fojol Bros. food truck. He waited in line for 15 minutes, found a shady patch in Farragut Square and just as he sat down with his curry, which was delicious, the chef came out of the truck and erased the item from the menu. That was very, very satisfying.
Monica wrote an article for the front page of the Washington Post that literally just talks about the good stuff that happened to random people yesterday. (via washingtonpoststyle)

‘In 1915 (photographer) Leon Gimpel befriended a group of children from the Grenata Street neighbourhood in Paris who had established their own “army”. He began to visit them regularly on Sundays, helping them to build their arsenal from whatever was to hand, providing direction in “casting”, and recording with his camera the army’s triumphs over the evil enemy, the Boche.’

Tomorrow: a conversation about WWI with historian and writer Adam Hochschild.

photo I saw on ladder to the stars tumblr. Love the industrial backdrop that makes you focus on the scene that is either really fun or very sad. Either way there is something really great about this photo
