&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nathalie,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tessa and I have often discussed the idea of moving to Colorado to buy a plot of land and raise a house and a family with you. Communal style. We decided that if that actually happens, this is what our garden will look like. How do you feel about this plan?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean, I know the whole “lesbian polygamist relationship” was a joke back when we were all straight college folk, but now… it should actually happen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alex&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Alex,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;YES.  Please move here and live on a communal farm with Tory and me immediately.  I’ve been reading about Catholic Worker houses, and I’d like to start my own, complete with plenty of farm animals, a little coffee shop (selling food made from the produce of our garden), and a co-op daycare. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the meantime, you should come visit and we can practice the whole living together thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love, Nathalie&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/25955874059</link><guid>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/25955874059</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:25:48 -0600</pubDate><category>nature monday</category><category>communal living</category><category>love</category><category>garden</category></item><item><title>Now this is just scary.  I would like my news and entertainment...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5oao7wFcp1r6m2leo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now this is just scary.  I would like my news and entertainment to come from talented and creative minds, not money and political backing, thank you very much.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/25587386965</link><guid>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/25587386965</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:21:45 -0600</pubDate><category>social work weekend</category><category>media</category></item><item><title>Beautiful.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ohmygosh this is amazing.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/24286515985</link><guid>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/24286515985</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:45:57 -0600</pubDate><category>nature monday</category><category>trees</category></item><item><title>Remember this - change does not come easy.  Turn your anger and...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m39jmlRq6h1r5e1oso1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember this - change does not come easy.  Turn your anger and frustration towards real involvement and effort, and don’t expect instantaneous results.  Fight, be patient, never stop trying. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/24286482861</link><guid>http://rustededges.tumblr.com/post/24286482861</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:45:23 -0600</pubDate><category>social work weekend</category></item><item><title>aestheticobject:
