Badass Skull Armchair by Harow

French design firm Harow has created this ultra rad armchair in the shape of a skull, finished with a nice gloss with a steel internal frame. It’s straight up badass, complete with the best velvet for your rad ass tush to sit in. I’m sure it’s also super expensive, but a man can dream.

Echo Beach New Year’s Eve

3 mixes by DJ Fuck Yall (me)

I was gonna make one three hour long New Year’s chiller mix but I decided to split them it up into three mixes you can play in whatever order you like. I was thinking of when Shania Twain and Mutt Lange put out three simultaneous versions of Up! where each CD was a different color and production style, and the styles were country (green), pop (red), and Bollywood (blue). Shortly thereafter their marriage imploded when Mutt cheated on Shania with some friend of theirs, and then after they split up Shania ended up with the cucked husband of the woman she’d been cheated on with. Some real Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice stuff. Isn’t life funny? Anyway these mixes have different tracklists and themes but they’re spiritual triplets. They’re also inspired by my brother recently posting a lot of little video game environment GIFs lately with captions specifying a city and year. He also made GIFs that I screencapped in this post because I have no idea how to use tumblr anymore. This is also in the spirit of the Glass Bricks mixes he and I made together, which were about our nostalgia for our late 80s/early 90s Los Angeles childhood, probably subconsciously as a mental escape from how horrible 2016 is. And very inspired by “San Junipero” which made me think about what mind-clubs I like to go to. All the first dance clubs I went to were 80s nights, so this is a loving tribute to 80s Night at Club Hell in Providence (RIP) and the 80s room at Club Bang, especially late in the game when Bang stopped being hip and was all Valley bridge and tunnel kids like me dancing to Yazoo. Los Angeles 1983 is inspired by that weird cusp of the end of the 70s turning into the 80s. London 1985 is inspired by the Batcave club and all the goth nights it launched. Tokyo 1988 is the Sophistipop mix I’ve wanted to make forever but finally did, in honor of New Year’s being the most sophistipop holiday. Celebrate New Year’s Eve in my Echo Beach of the mind.

(Disclaimer: the songs in each mix aren’t all from the year listed, and might spill over. Also some of them are fuzzily ripped but just consider it part of the vibe.)

Do you know what this is? This is The Heart from Auschwitz.

An act of defiance. A statement of hope. A crime punishable by death.

On December 12, 1944, locked inside Auschwitz, Polish teenager Fania turned twenty. After spending a year in a concentration camp, Fania didn’t expect her birthday to even be remembered - but her best friend, Zlatka, risked everything to make her a birthday present, a paper heart. 

Simply making the heart - or carrying it - could get either of them killed.

The heart was signed by many of their friends, bearing notes in Polish, German, French, and Hebrew that announced "When you get old, put your glasses on your nose, take this album in your hand and read my signature again,“ and “Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!” It was an act of great sacrifice and love for a friend.

Less than 40 days later, they began the Death March from Auschwitz to Ravensbruck, and from Ravensbruck to freedom. Fania carried the heart under her arm the whole time. And survived.

Fania donated the heart to the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Center in 1988, where it is a featured piece of their exhibit. You can read more about the story of Fania and Zlatka Meg Wiviott’s Paper Hearts, coming September 2015.

That’s Deep Blue, they think she’s the biggest white shark ever filmed

[saidinsilence-deactivated201701]

Of course it’s a girl. She’s beautiful and I’ll keep my hands inside the cage at all times

[birb-bian]

I…I love her.

[whiskey-and-c41]

My daughter is beautiful and strong.

[pomo-phobic-blog]

her dorsal fin is longer than a full grown adult but I in all my 5'2" glory still wants to protect her

[it-grrl]

I am, I believe, the reasonable amount of scared of sharks that a smart soft mammal should be, but I definitely just said “whos a big pretty girl” at the screen. Thank you, tumblr, for reminding me that things I’m afraid of are beautiful too.

So I got curious and look this giant up and found this picture of the diver high fiving her as she passed.  According to the article, not only is Deep Blue big but in the picture she’s super pregnant too.

“SO THIS is what I was meant to be using these things for all this time”

[allthingslinguistic]

A basic schematic of why the Korean alphabet is so cool, from Wright House: 

Unlike almost every other alphabet in the world, the Korean alphabet did not evolve. It was invented in 1443 (promulgated in 1446) by a team of linguists and intellectuals commissioned by King Sejong the Great.

In the diagram [above], the Korean consonants are arranged into five main linguistic groups (one per row), depending on where in the mouth contact is made. Notice that there is a graphic element common to all the consonants in a particular row. The first consonant in each row is the most basic and is graphically the simplest; this representative consonant for each group is the building block for the other characters in that group. Certain of these modifications are systematic, and yield similarly modified characters in several groups, such as adding a horizontal line to a simple consonant (a “stop” consonant–such as t/d or p/b–rather than a nasal consonant) to form the aspirated consonants (those made with extra air) and doubling simple consonants to form “tense” consonants (no real equivalent in English).

Notice that the five representative consonants (the ones in the first column in the upper part of the diagram) are also depicted in the drawings that make up the lower part of the diagram showing the relevant part of the mouth involved. Ingeniously, each of these representative consonants is a kind of simplified schematic diagram showing the position of the mouth in forming those consonants.

More details, including subsequent historical changes to Hangul, in the Wikipedia article.
