“I’m sorry that you’re depriving some village of their idiot”

[limegreenmemequeenperidot-deact]

Regardless if you are religious or not, French or not, or had any connection to the building at all, you can’t deny that the Notre Dame cathedral is an incredibly historic landmark and a marvel of art and architecture, and watching some edgy chucklefucks who must’ve left their brain cell at the door today joke about the destruction and call the fire “aesthetically pleasing” just blows my fucking mind

This is not just an incredible loss for Paris, but for all of us, so learn a little bit of humility and keep the Funni Jokes to yourself

What can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on much as it has this past Age. Full of its own comings and goings. Scarcely aware of the existence of Hobbits. For which I am very thankful.

notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

it’s not the end.

Hey so, French person here. And also an ex History student. I’m here to say: Please listen to o.p. above.

Obviously everyone is shocked but here’s a few important key facts:

The roof is completely gone. Part of it dated back from the 13th century but the rest was from the 19th. The stone arch roof under the top roof is fine.

One of the three main stained glass rose windows has fallen out. Most of the other stained glass windows are okay.

The spire has fallen down and that’s the saddest part. BUT! It was in the process of being restored and the 16 statues that were there were removed just four days ago! So they’re fine.

The main structure is still here and nothing has “burned down” unlike what some people have been saying.

The “treasure” (sacred objects) is safe.

Notre Dame is still there. It’s just damaged. Almost nothing was lost today, and nobody was wounded either. It’s scary, but it’s gonna be okay.

My current employer once said to me, “I get the impression you work to live, not live to work.” Uh, yeah motherfucker.

[millennial-review-deactivated20]

me after reading this:

[failure-to-adult]

A boss once sat me down and said, I swear to fuck, that it was a bad thing that I was interested in leaving work on time. Like he said something like “I’m told that you like going home at the end of the day.”

I asked him what I meant. Like I point blank said “Are you saying I don’t work enough overtime?”

“…no,” he said, since we got in trouble if we worked OT. It was treated as a moral failing on our parts.

“So are you saying I should be working for free?” I asked. This is a trap question. It was a corporate job. Which meant he actually was limited in the shit he could pull.

“….no,” he grudgingly replied.

“So what is the problem?” I asked. And he had to admit that, technically, I had done nothing wrong.

But he tried to guilt me over LIKING TO GO HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY. After each 8-10 hour shift where I was allowed ZERO breaks, despite the law requiring I get a minimum of 15 minutes every 4 hours.

He also got pissed off that I was very open with telling people I had given my notice. I didn’t bad mouth the place. I wasn’t negative. I was just open that, yes, I was moving and had therefor quit.

GEE I FUCKING WONDER WHY I WAS SO EXCITED TO BE LEAVING.

[thelightstothepavement]

Employers need to realise that duh, we work to live. I don't eat, breathe, sleep my workplace. I have this cool thing called a life.

you know what would be Great? if we could go back to when being “daddy’s girl” meant you were spoiled by your dad and not a grown woman who roleplays pedophilia and incest to get your partner off.

[badiemadie]

you know what would be Great? if people stopped criticizing what some people do behind closed doors when it affects you in no way what so ever.

[landlordkiller69]

if yall did it behind closed doors I wouldn’t fucking know about it, sharon.
