Pretend, for example, that you were born in Chicago and have never had the remotest desire to visit Hong Kong, which is only a name on a map for you; pretend that some convulsion, sometimes called accident, throws you into connection with a man or a woman who lives in Hong Kong; and that you fall in love. Hong Kong will immediately cease to be a name and become the center of your life. And you may never know how many people live in Hong Kong. But you will know that one man or one woman lives there without whom you cannot live. And this is how our lives are changed, and this is how we are redeemed.

What a journey this life is! Dependent, entirely, on things unseen. If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earth quake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

The core tenet of Stupidism is that everyone is really hecking stupid.

The core values of Stupidism are

Caution: because we, being stupid and surrounded by stupid people, are liable to do something stupid or be subjected to the stupidity of others at any time and in any situation.

Compassion: because it sucks to be stupid, and we are all stupid together.

Curiosity: because being stupid means having a lot to learn.

we’ve gone from the yee haw agenda to the ye olde thot programme

Ah yes, those slutty slutty Landsknecht shorts:

The bare-legged / hot-pants look was fairly common, since the whole point about being a Landsknecht (or Reislaufer, their Swiss equivalent) was to look outrageous.

Most period illustrations of Landsknechts are black-and-white woodcuts…

…though in 1905 a book called „Geschichte des Kostüms“ - History of Costume - assembled a bunch of black-and-whites and added colour.

If they look excessively gaudy, they’re not, because these next prints were coloured in-period by an artist called Erhard Schön, and it’s fair to assume he was representing what he saw.

In short - or in shorts - those reenactor costumes are spot on. :->

Something mentioned nowhere in this post that I have just learned from googling: these guys were not Ye Olde Medieval Dandies. They were 15th-16th century mercenaries. Pretty hardcore, too. They were exempt from sumptuary laws (ie the rules that said you couldn’t wear certain colours or cloth or styles) and apparently their response to that was technicolour thotpants.

beautiful sculpture of the extinct prehistoric salamander-like amphibian Diplocaulus inspired by the living matamata turtle, by the talented artist Goro Furuta, who deserves credit for his work & not to be used as a source of misinformation

No matter how many times this sculpture shows up on the internet though, I seldom see people notice that the artist borrowed a lot of inspiration from the modern day Matamata turtle, making his sculpture double as a hypothesis that they convergently evolved similar camouflage.

If you told me last year how much I'd enjoy fishkeeping, I'd not believe you even slightly. I once put back a cactus at the shop because I didn't want even that much responsibility.

Yet here I am, doing weekly maintenance on not one but two (sometimes three) aquariums and... genuinely liking it? I have little wet friends now. I'm a person who enjoys having little wet friends.

I need one of those weird horse girl shirts that have a silhouette of a horse's head and says something like, "My therapist eats hay." Only fish related. Like, "My therapist requires a water hardness of 6.8dKH."
