Kent State University

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]”

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]”

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.

When I was 21.

In 1991, 18 year old Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro was conducting a seance at school with friends using a ouija board. The group was trying to contact a friend who had passed away a few months earlier. The group was discovered by a teacher, who destroyed the board. Students reported a odd misty substance traveling up into Estefania’s nose during this event. For months after the seance Estefania began having seizures and hallucinations. She claimed that during these episodes she saw figures in her house. Although her family took her to numerous doctors no one could find anything physically wrong with her. In August of that same year Estefania mysteriously died of asphyxiation in her sleep. After the death the family began to experience experience odd occurrences in the house. They described crucifixes moving on their own, whispers, unseen hands grabbing them and shadow figures.The local police came to investigate the incidents and witnessed a crucifix getting torn off the wall,and odd brown slime. The police also reported hearing loud unexplained sounds from an empty room. One of the most bizarre things to happen was when a photo of Estefania burst into flames with no candles or known cause. The fire started in the middle of the photo and began to smolder. Oddly the frame was intact. The family eventually sold the house and moved.

Eva, 28

“I’m wearing a couple of garments I made, a dress layered over a blouse. I felt this look was fitting to wear to A Current Affair because, like much of what I make, it involves a little play on historical garments, costume, vintage. Someone at the event described it as ‘elegantly fucked up’. I really dig that. I feel quite inspired by all the janky gems found exploring the everyday world around us.”

today in “things i’m disproportionately emotional about”:

it’s facial reconstructions of prehistoric humans!!

like, look at this part-homo sapiens, part-neandertal man from well over 30,000 years ago:

doesn’t he just look like a dude you’d wanna hang out with? like he probably washes dishes in the kitchen with you, and has excellent weed

what a charming fellow. what stories he probably has to tell. i’d definitely go shoot the shit with him on Contemplation Rock after i’d finished my day’s work carving a bone flute for the autumn hunting ceremony, or whatever

people have been people ever since people first became people, i tell you what

they all had lives and histories and families and friends and dumb gossip and games they played and total bullshit in which they believed wholeheartedly

they all argued about the nature of the world, and of themselves

they all sang songs

they all drew pictures

they all buried their dead in graves, and they buried their dead in graves well before they did a lot of that other stuff. they buried their dead with flowers, with panther claws, with the bones of animals they’d killed, with the bones of family members who had died at the same time or earlier. they buried their dead with their arms folded across their chests

they fell in love

they took care of their old and their sick and their disabled, even when it cost them

they made new things, and worried about what the new things meant for people everywhere, as a whole

This dude would have great stories at a get-together and would bring some really great homemade dip.

This guy was sculpted by Alfons and Adrie Kennis, and their Neanderthal reconstructions are all delightful.

I love the kid in the last picture a lot- they look like a kid, just a little kid who’s done some mischief and is trying not to laugh about it.

I also adore their Lucy- they’ve struck a wonderful balance between the falling angel and the rising ape.

And their Turkana boy- there’s something precious and wistful in those eyes.

But my favorite has got to be their reconstruction of H. floresiensis.

Just look at her. That’s a face of someone who’s lived and seen a lot, but also a face that’s known love and joy and laughter. That’s a face with a soul.
