Why do you people have to make everything about race???
Long answer: White Europeans decided to colonize the rest of the world. They enslaved, massacred, segregated, displaced, tortured, disenfranchised, and raped other racial groups. They stole land, resources, and art. They put other races in zoos and death camps. They destroyed written and pictorial history. They suppressed the religions of other races. They dehumanized us. They refused to teach the history of these atrocities in their schools. They refused to acknowledge the achievements of other races. They used the theory of their racial superiority as their excuse. All social institutions reflect this history. All affected racial groups are still feeling the aftereffects of this. So it tends to come up a lot.
Short answer: Please shut up.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, Paris was booming. Foreign migration and urbanisation of the city caused a huge surge in population and a crisis for housing. Franceâs solution came in the form of vast housing projects and so during this period massive, modernist and really quite unique estates sprung up across the city â aiming for a new way of living.
Just a few decades later and these towering buildings look dated, discarded and forgotten. Often stigmatised by the media, they divide opinion in France and have been left mostly occupied by the ageing community of âurban veteransâ who first made it their home, as the younger generation are drawn to more contemporary city living.
Local photographer Laurent Kronental has become fascinated by the âambitious and dated modernist featuresâ of these estates, known locally as âGrands Ensemblesâ. Since 2011 he has developed âSouvenir dâun Futurâ, a series of stunning photographs documenting these neglected communities and capturing what he calls âthe poetry of ageing environmentsâ. He also explores the idea of the aspirational âutopiaâ design contrasted with the neglected state they are in today, by consciously conveying the impression of towns that have been left almost empty.

no but writing is a really good way to process things happening in my life! I should do it more often!
I have had such a fun weekend! (aside from minor crisis of self lol) but had the most horrible week of exams and writing entire essays in one night etc. and so was super fun to just chill and have fun with friends
friday evening went to super pretentious craft beer place with Lauren, and drank some super pretentious but actually quite tasty craft beer. then headed to comptoir general and danced to super cheesy rânâb, and after that went to the most ridiculous Irish bar & did some crazy dancing. I stayed at Laurenâs which was super nice because I miss having sleepovers!! (my eccentric French old man flatmate doesn't appreciate overnight guests)
and then saturday I met up with Lizzie and art school friends and did even more dancing and drinking and found a really weird bar next to the moulin rouge in which a chinese man was performing covers of daft punkâs get lucky. meanwhile one of the weirdest humans I have ever met decided to show a group of 20 yr old students pictures of his American ex-wife..... Iâm assuming as some kind of flirtation.
and today we wandered around the marais for a bit, i bought a beret in the 1 euro thrift shop and then came home and washed off the huge amount of glitter that was still on my face and have been in bed watching friends ever since
Found some sweet copies of LIFE from the â60s at an antique shop in Olean, NY.
I think Iâm not the only one feeling this weird trapped feeling today, feeling sick and overwhelmed but unable to stop reading, reblogging. Trying to understand when there is nothing to understand.
I live in the middle of it. 19 people died in front of the bar I go drinking twice a week, and my friend the barmaid was hidden behind the bar for two hours. One of my best friend lives rue Bichat and heard the gunfire from his window. I know a family trapped in stade de France. I should have been drinking in Republique at 8PM yesterday, where they started shooting.
Yeah I get it. We are freaking out.
But please, stop spreading only the bad stuff. Stop the pictures and videos of bodies in the street, of yelling and blood. Stop talking about refugeeâs hate, and islamophobia.
Talk more about the people that yelled in the street the number of the code to their flat when victims where running everywhere to bring them to safety. The man that opened the window of his flat to victims of the Bataclan stranded on the roof.
Talk about the man that went back to help a stranger pregnant woman, and the kid that was carried to safety by a total stranger worried he could be trampled by the crowd.
Talk about the social media, the hashtag #porteouverte to get people out of the street and #voyageavecmoi to help people afraid to travel alone because of their religion/skin color.
Talk about the taxis that stayed in the street, bringing people home for free all night, and the bus drivers that helped evacuate the Bataclan.
The people crowding the blood centers, so much that Paris now has to send them back home.
The people in their home, terrified and in shock, and only waiting for the possibility to crowd the street and show them that we are afraid but not broken, and together.
There are handfuls of people that will take out of this tragedy all the bad lessons, the wrong evidences.
But please donât talk about them. Talk about the fraternity and the love of the scared, scarred, ones in Paris. Because we are so many, and we wonât give up
The above are rejected designs for the Eiffel tower.Â
Iâm gonna need a story about 14 alternate universes where the pivotal differences of each world all came from their chosen tower design

If you havenât heard already, English Votes for English Laws has now been passed in the House of Commons.
For those who donât know what this entails it means that Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs have just been made second class.
With no clear guidelines to what is classed as English laws it will be up to the parliament to decide. Completely outnumbered the MPs of the other three nations will be outvoted in what is classed as English laws.
Itâs a pretty dark day to be honest. I would like to think of it as just another step closer to the end of this disgrace of a union where now no one can claim all of the nationâs are equal.
There you go, folks. the Unionists and those behind Better Together spun many lines (should that be lies? - ed) about how Scotland was an equal partner in the UK. So while English MPs can dictate the content of the Scotland Bill, Scottish MPs (and our Welsh and Northern Irish counterparts) will have even less of a say in UK politics.
But hey, Iâm sure the media will continue to peddle the line of âSNP bad!â to distract you from the way that Westminster and the Tory government continues to dismantle the NHS and sell off the rest of our assets.
