Ghost at the window (link roundup)

Haunting by Alison Scarpulla on sale at Etsy. Via. Thanks for the correction billyjane.

And a few more links:

1. Good summary about the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico - - what caused it, why it's so hard to stop, and what's going to be tried:

The problem with the April 20 spill is that it isn't really a spill: It‘s a gush, like an underwater oil volcano. A hot column of oil and gas is spurting into freezing, black waters nearly a mile down, where the pressure nears a ton per inch, impossible for divers to endure. Experts call it a continuous, round-the-clock calamity, unlike a leaking tanker, which might empty in hours or days.

2. Relatedly, disaster girl at the oil spill.

3. Today only, 20% off all Last Exit T-shirts with the code MAY2010.
