Restoration of an Emma Gaggiotti Portrait § Baumgartner Restoration (source)

when healing from a person.. you will have thoughts like “I loved them more than I loved anyone, I never knew I could love someone so much, I’ll never love someone that much again..”

It is important to realize that your ability to love that person didn’t come from them, it came from within you. You were always a lover, already someone who could love deeply. Just because they are gone doesn’t mean that goes away. They didn’t give you the capacity to love, they just gave you a place to express it. Don’t give someone else the credit for how hard you could love, that was you and it still is.

Holy shit

Why don’t we see this kind of stuff more in history books?! I’d be way more interested in history if I understood that people were afraid of electricity because they were afraid of power lines slicing them to peices like cheese-wire! History books make it sound like “oh those silly people thought electricity carried demons or something!” Rather than “those poor people opposed electricity because they were terrified that eventually there would be so many power lines they wouldn’t be able to see the sun anymore.”

Not to mention that these were not insulated wires like we have today. They were raw wires running through the town, your house, your school/workplace. They were incredibly dangerous and people died often and horribly due to literal exposed wires as they attempted to simply light a lamp, or worse: a gas stove with a rogue spark of electricity from Mom’s New Lamp. The death totals were bamboozling.

I came across this very odd pond in a forest

And my immediate reaction, as a rational educated human being, is get the fuck away from it holy shit something is up with that and you don’t want to piss it off!!!

Really beautiful though. Just eerie in a way that sends me running in the opposite direction.

Not that odd. The circular shape, plus the presence of so many mushrooms, leads me to believe this was probably at one point a very large tree. The roots rotting away allowed soil to shift downward, and the depression they left is now a puddle (the water shown is completely stagnant, ergo there is no source). The mushrooms, moss, etc. haven’t turned to mud because it is, again, just a puddle–they’re only temporarily submerged.

Graciela Iturbide | La frontera ‘La Virgen Morena’ Tijuana, México, 1990

I think all photographers make documentary photography, but, afterwards, it all comes down to how each person interprets what they see, whether it has more or less poetry or imagination. - Graciela Iturbide

“It’s the nation that does not permit you to live.”

Death by Hanging (1968), dir. Nagisa Ōshima

filmantidote

The context of the film is vital as it is relevant more than ever. The film is about an ethnic Korean in Japan who is set to be executed by hanging. Koreans have historically lived as marginalized members in Japan and have been heavily discriminated against despite many of them having all the makings of citizenship by being born and brought up in Japan. Oshima examines how the state legitimizes violence and racism as it permeates in the Japanese conscious of who is deemed worthy of life and who is not. An underlying theme is that guilty or innocent by state-set terms of criminality, marginalized people are guilty at birth.
