Before emojis there were… NETSUKE 😡 A netsuke is a small sculptural object which has developed in Japan over a period of more than three hundred years. Netsuke initially served both functional and aesthetic purposes. The traditional form of Japanese dress, the kimono, had no pockets. Women would tuck small personal items into their sleeves, but men suspended their tobacco pouches, pipes, purses, writing implements, and other items of daily use on a silk cord passed behind their obi (sash). These hanging objects are called sagemono. The netsuke was attached to the other end of the cord preventing the cord from slipping through the obi. This little guy shown in the photo is titled Raconteur (Alternate Title: Rakugoka)

“SAN QUENTIN: Behind Its Bars 4,600 Men Live, Work And Sometimes Reform.” 70 years ago this week in the October 27, 1947 issue, LIFE ran this photo essay shot by photographer Charles E. Steinheimer. According to LIFE, “On San Francisco Bay, only 18 miles from the city, lies a grim cluster of masonry with towers and buttressed walls. Behind the walls lies a city of high steel bars and endlessly turning locks—a city which, at any given moment, some 4,600 men call home…Among them are burglars, thieves, forgers, murderers and rapists.” This photo ran in the photo essay with the following caption: “Weight lifters meet at night in gym and on Sundays in prison yard, often practice between-times with any heavy object they can find.” (Charles E. Steinheimer—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #thisweekinLIFE #1940s

Not all toxic people are cruel and uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions. Most are toxic to our being simply because their needs and way of existing in the world force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness. They aren’t inherently bad people, but they aren’t the right people for us. And as hard as it is, we have to let them go. Life is hard enough without being around people who bring you down, and as much as you care, you can’t destroy yourself for the sake of someone else. You have to make your wellbeing a priority. Whether that means breaking up with someone you care about, loving a family member from a distance, letting go of a friend, or removing yourself from a situation that feels painful — you have every right to leave and create a safer space for yourself.

Exquisite Wooden Docking Stations

Composed in the outdoorsy and beautiful Dock Smith studio in Maine, the exquisite wooden docking stations resemble beautiful sculptures, instead of a cold gadget. Highly textured and handcrafted, the rustic pieces combine the beauty of the outdoors with the artificial and digital world.

Mimicking the shape of tree branches, the contemporary and conceptual designs are a sophisticated tech execution. You can find the wooden docking stations in their Etsy shop.
