The Smith's 3rd studio album was released on 16 June 1986.

The Queen is Dead was co-produced by Johnny Marr and Morissey (with Stephen Street engineering) and recorded mostly in the fall of 1985. The album's release was delayed by a legal dispute with the band's label, Rough Trade, and Andy Rourke was dismissed from the group in early 1986 due to his heroin addiction (notified by a note Morissey left on his car, which Morrisey has denied, and Rourke rejoined the band just before The Queen is Dead's release).

The Queen is Dead was released to critical praise, and the album peaked at #2 in the UK and #59 in the US (their highest chart position to date), would go on to sell more than 1 million copies, and is considered to be one of the best albums of the 1980s and one of the greatest albums of all time.

The album cover features Alain Delon from the 1964 film The Unvanquished (Delon personally gave approval of the use of his image, but later stated that his parents were "dismayed by the album title").

what it feels like getting off of work

The advice I have always heard was this:

Life is a juggling act. Some of the items you are juggling are rubber, and will bounce if you drop them. These are things that are passing or that aren't very serious. Some of the ones you are juggling are glass, and will shatter if they are dropped one or more times. These are very serious in nature and fragile.

For instance, you might be a uni student sick with a bad cold or flu. You might have homework to do (not a crazy big project that's 100% of your grade, but a normal, routine homework assignment or reading), but you are also likely exhausted from being sick, so perhaps the item dropped for a night is homework in exchange for a good night's sleep and accelerated healing. Your grade will bounce, but your health will not.

Maybe you are training for a marathon, or working on a big creative project, or another fun hobby you enjoy, but it's starting to suck all of your time and you are seeing your friends and family less and less. Hobbies will bounce. Relationships might not.

Sometimes, an item you juggle can make juggling more items easier. St. Mother Teresa once had a sister in her care who said that there were too many of the poor to care for, so she requested the holy hour be made optional and shifted around to care for the large volume of people (for those of you that aren't Catholic, it is an hour spent in prayer in a chapel with Our Lord in the Eucharist). St. Mother Teresa's response was to increase the time spent in prayer to two hours every day! Why? Because communion with God fuels your ability to fulfill your other duties in life! The juggling act becomes easier when you allow God to help you juggle when your arms get tired!

All of this is to say, is you are not alone in the struggle to keep life's complexities in balance! Some days you're juggling just one item, and putting all your effort there, and it feels like you're juggling a bowling ball. Sometimes you feel like you're juggling so many items at once that you can't even track them with your eyes anymore. Life ebbs and flows like this. Keep your eyes on the Lord, and the dance becomes easier to bear, because He bears it with you.

The oldest icon of the Jesus Christ and the Crucifixion, St Catherine’s Monastery, Sinai, Egypt, 8th Century.

Christ is suspended on the cross, between the two brigands, dressed in a long sleeveless tunic. The Mother of God is identified as Saint Mary, a name that retains a tradition before the 431 Council of Ephesus. The icon also includes the scene of the Roman soldiers dividing the garments of Christ.

The icon is the earliest known depiction of Christ lying dead on the cross, and the first known image of Christ wearing a crown of thorns. It focuses on the Passion and the reconciliatory nature of the blood spilt on the cross. Both the iconography and the technique suggest that the icon originates from the Holy Land.

I love how The Man With No Name from the dollars trilogy keep vaguely alluding to some tragic backstory but nobody ever takes the goddamn bait.

he'll be randomly dropping lines like "i never found home that great" "how can i appreciate something [peace] i've never known" "i knew someone like you [a woman kidnapped and kept trapped by goons] once and nobody was around to help them" and the people around him are just like aight bro saddle up we gotta do some murder

DON’T become even a casual nerd about historical fashion because you’ll start looking at pseudo-medieval fantasy and going “that jacket and those breeches are 200 years apart and reflect extremely different social movements” and “oh no they were NOT making shirts like that prior to industrialization” and “a fly front? in MY ~1500s???”

wait now i’m curious what’s everyone’s go-to pair of shoes

grunge-samurai

I have 3 pairs that go through seasons and I've pretty much been using the same models ever since middle school (just buy new pairs every 3-5 years or once they completely give out)

1.- Hi-Top Leather Chuck Taylor's: Fell in love with them ever I saw Will Smith wearing a pair in I, Robot. Pretty much the jack of all trades in my arsenal. I use them for everyday shenanigans; the gym, get-togethers, casual whatevers. Hell, I ever wore them to a wedding once because I didn't have any dressing shoes.

2.- Adidas Samba: I'm kind of bummed out by the fact that they got the spotlight recently because the price for them shot through the roof, when 5-6 years ago nobody really cared for them and you could get them for $60-$80 from any outlet Adidas store. Anyway, pretty much the same as my Chuck Taylor's, but I also use them for running and/or soccer. Great beaters, a pair of them once lasted me over 10 years

3.- Hi-Top Vans Sk8: The yin to the yang that are my Chuck Taylor's, both literally and figuratively. I always buy Chuck's in black leather, and I always get the Vans in canvas white

Honorable mention to a pair of Puma Army's I found at a discount bin like a year ago. They're slowly kind of, sort of replacing the Samba's since those unfortunately got gentrified recently and retail at above $100
