Sometimes I have to stake out places where people don't cut their grass in the city in the spring and summer to get these beautiful 'weed' portraits

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!

No wait I looked this guy up and this shit’s amazing

It’s so incredibly humanizing to see people from the very distant past in such authentic color

And like. look at these landscape shots!! They’re so vivid!! Even aside from the historical value, these are just legitimately beautiful photographs

I recently learned about a kind of embroidery called bobbinwork where you put a really thick thread in the machine bobbin and sew from the back side and it's so fun! I've tried doing a bunch of sample lines and shapes and squiggles, but most importantly I have made a beautiful garlic. I'm doing it mainly with the regular sewing foot and a lot of pivoting, because when I try it with the free motion foot it skips a lot of stitches.

St Mary’s, Breamore in Hampshire, is one of the most complete late Anglo-Saxon churches we have — a building that’s held its ground for over a millennium. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House behind it, two eras folded into one view — Andy Marshall

When I was in high school we did an english unit on Octavia Butler and the teacher told us hey btw. You should call her "Butler" in your essays. Sometimes students call female writers by their first names unconsciously, but that's not acceptable. If you wouldnt call them William or Ernest you shouldn't call her Octavia.

And I was like cool whatever I was gonna call her Butler anyways. But that moment has stuck with me for my whole life because once you start seeing ppl calling women by their first names where men would be called by their last names you literally never stop seeing it.

When I was in college, my dad made me type up some notes for him that included a list of composers, and he had put "Schumann" and "Clara Schumann." I changed it to "Robert Schumann" and "Clara Schumann" and I don't think he noticed.

I'm honestly torn, this is a hard choice

Probably not

Absolutely fucking not
