I could not find this in the archives, and given tumblr, the idea that a search might not be perfect would not be surprising. However if we've got it it's definitely not this picture of it. So I'm glad to have it as it is even though it is not a super huge scan, it has its charms.

24 hrs in photos

2011

a new installation at the amsterdam foam gallery by erik kessels takes a literal look at the digital deluge of photos online by printing out 24 hours worth of uploads to flickr. the result is rooms filled with over 1,000,000 printed photos, piled up against the walls.

“we’re exposed to an overload of images nowadays,” says kessels. “this glut is in large part the result of image-sharing sites like flickr, networking sites like facebook, and picture-based search engines. their content mingles public and private, with the very personal being openly and un-selfconsciously displayed. by printing all the images uploaded in a 24-hour period, i visualise the feeling of drowning in representations of other peoples’ experiences.”

me, every single time i see people (especially women) talking about the divine feminine energy, or the sacredness of the womb or whatever it is now:

[image description: a two-panel photo of a person dialling a number and then placing the phone to their ear. the contact is saved as ‘Ursula K. Le Guin’ /end ID]

context is this quote by her:

But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?

Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated public. Slaveholders prohibited enslaved people from learning to read. The Third Reich burned books. The Khmer Rouge banned music. Stalin and Pinochet censored the media. And Trump, like past authoritarians, wants to control not just what we do, but also what we know and how we think. He knows that an uninformed public is easier to divide and conquer. Gutting funding for public broadcasting is part of a broader attack on the American mind. This attack on our minds reduces our capacity for self-government, because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. [Cartoon by Drew Sheneman]

Being a fish in highly oxygenated water must feel so fucking good

[catboybiologist]

I see the waves swirling around the intertidal zone, leaving behind trails of dissolved bubbles and I'm like fuck yeah some blenny in there is just going hnnnggg

[catboybiologist]

What if you were a golden trout in a mountain stream. What if you faced the flow of the water and the swirling bubbles, like crystalline drops, ran against your gills. What if you took the deepest, cleanest, most pure breathes by running in place. Imagine.
