The Clever Corvid's Curious Cache...

In the spirit of the caching habits of ravens, crows, magpies and jays, this Corvid's cache is a collection of pretty well anything that struck my fancy! In it you will find mostly reblogs of nature, history, art, quotes, fashion and a little bit of whimsy. Enjoy!

Do you ever think about how many of the items now considered priceless artifacts were once commonplace items? The coins we now marvel at from behind the glass at a museum were once tossed around, stepped on, and traded around. The pottery painstakingly pieced back together was somebody’s favorite wine jug. The decorative pin now rusted and bent once held together the shoulder of someone’s chiton. History is simply a trail of ordinary people going about their day, and I think there’s an odd sort of beauty in that.

“it’s kinda fucked up to reject the business practices of jeff bezos when he rightfully earned his position under capitalism”

[acti-veg]

“About twenty years ago, I attended a lecture by a Harvard professor who talked about how corporations operate like modern-day kingdoms. At one time, she said, people believed kings ruled by divine right, and today we seem to believe the same thing about corporations. Toward the end, she asked, “Do you know what it is that allowed people to let go of, overcome, and reject the notion of the divine right of kings?” I held my breath and got ready to take some notes. Her answer: “They just stopped believing in it.”
