CEOs Lose Confidence In Economy

A survey of the world’s top CEOs found that a majority were losing confidence in the economy, with the ongoing war in Iran causing continued uncertainty. What do you think?

Byzantine mosaics found on the ceiling of the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna, Italy.

[bookseffect]

So this is not the starry skies ceiling of the Galla Placidia Mausoleum, this one is but I am still looking for the origin of the prev image

[saessenach]

We've gone through like. Half a millennium's worth of famous churches and it's still a mystery.

With that being said, it's delightful how many craftspeople throughout the ages looked up at a ceiling and thought "you know what would fuck here, my liege? a starry sky mosaic."

[bookseffect]

All of this to say, I found it with a little help from @saessenach and after about 5 hours of scientific psychosis, this is from Saint Vladimir's Cathedral in Tauric Cherosonesos in Sevastopol, in Crime. The mosaic appears after the 2024 restauration, it seems. So this is not from Ravenna, it is a neo-byzantine restoration (by the Russian government, I concluded after multiple articles translate poorly from russian). It is unclear to me if this is part of the New Chersonesos complex (aka a museum and temple dedicated to the ancient and Byzantine culture of the area) but I do strongly believe it is:

Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.

[readsquirrel]

It just keeps going and getting better. *^^*

[involuntaryorange]

Me two minutes ago: “cry with joy? an animation of cats playing instruments made someone cry with joy?”

Me now: (sobs into a tissue) “OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS PLAYING TWO RECORDERS AT THE SAME TIME” (blows nose)

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?

[lakemojave]

Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month

[lakemojave]

It's 2 years later. It's gotten worse. Happy pride month.

Two seemingly contradictory beliefs that we actually must strive to hold simultaneously:

You don't owe anyone anything

Meaning: you do not have to make yourself suffer for the convenience of others

We owe each other everything

Meaning: we could not survive without each other and everything we do to help another is crucial to ensuring our own continued survival

You don't need to be a doormat, but also don't get comfortable slamming the door when you have the resources to extend a hand instead.

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

[kuttithevangu]

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”
