“If you’re a travel journalist, does that mean you’ve come here to write about us?”
“Yes, as a matter of fact I’ll be writing about everything that happens on this cruise.”
A woman in the front row wrinkles her brow at me. “So that means you’re kind of like the Talosians from ‘The Menagerie,’” she says.
“Talosians?”
“Yes, the Talosians,” she says. She gazes at me for a beat. “You’ve come to observe our behavior like we were animals in a zoo.”
I give the woman a neutral look; I’m not sure what she’s talking about.
“Season one, episode 11,” the guy in the back offers. “Original series.”
“I guess I didn’t see that one,” I say finally.
Fifty or so people stare at me with a mixture of pity and disbelief: It’s as if I just told them I’ve never seen a sunrise.
First in a 5-part series at World Hum.

Over the internet we yell at each other with ALL CAPS and emphasize with bold and italics, but where is sarcasm? Where is the nuance, the elegance? We say it is time for a change. It's time for a revolution. It's time for a new font style!
Backward-italics for fonts! Brilliant! This would really help makes emails and blogs more clear.

This is from a photo series called "Bent Things." With few props--mostly just small metal arms and legs--the photographer finds a way to be incredibly expressive.
This one also really gets me.
