once we were anarchists [modernized oliver twist; oliver/dodger]

gyzym:

Another year, another school, another afternoon spent licking his wounds in a public toilet; Oliver’s played this game before. He bites the inside of his cheek to keep from crying and presses the compress to his eye again—it’s more a wetted ball of paper towels than anything else, but at least it’s stopped most of the bleeding. 

“I see you’ve got a good, old-fashioned welcome,” a voice says. Oliver stiffens but doesn’t turn—everything’s a test, because everything’s always a test. He hears the door shut, hears a lock snick into place, and wonders why he didn’t hear it open, wonders if he’s blown an eardrum again. 

It’s not what he should be wondering about, of course, but he thinks if he’s going to get the tar beaten out of him twice in one day, there’s no point adding anticipation to the mix. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen. You learn to take your licks, when licks are all you’re getting. 

“You could say that,” he says, as his reflection in the mirror gains a tall, gangly shadow. “You here to give me another?” 

“Hospitality is my specialty,” the boy says, and then his hand’s on Oliver’s shoulder, turning him around. “Christ, they wrecked you, didn’t they? No, no, put that fist down—I won’t laugh at you if you don’t make me, but you don’t look like you could take a kitten.”

An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.

See how they’re made here. From Visual News

Damn that’s awesome.
