Retired military aircraft at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona — the first Overview ever published on Daily Overview.
Today marks our 2000th post on Instagram! I started this project because I believed the Overview perspective not only offered a means to look at our planet like never before, but was also something that could bring people together. To see where the project is now, more than six years and 2000 posts later, has exceeded all of my wildest expectations. A sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has shared the images, purchased a book or print, or simply followed along. Here’s to the next 2000 posts! – Benjamin Grant, Founder
Like a month ago I messaged a craft group about accessibility for wheelchairs and the answer I got was “there’s a lot of stairs but we have cute boys who can carry you”.
And it’s…not good. As a wheelchair bound person I largely depend on people when I want to go out and do *anything* so I’m used to it, I laugh it off, make an annoyed post about it and off I go. But I wanna just say a thing real quick.
Even if I wasn’t gay, wasn’t a survivor scared of men, getting help as a disabled person is just…Not a pleasant thing to us! Imagine for a sec how you’d feel being carried up a flight of stairs. You’re a grown person. You’re being touched in an awkward way. You’d rather do it yourself. You’re So Uncomfortable. It’s not where I look for the beginning of a romantic relationship.
So like…could abled people stop doing this thing where they think helping us in a condescending and infantilizing way is cute? Cause I’m real tired. Just get me a ramp or lift and I’m cool. I don’t need a dating service when I’m just trying to go about my day
And there was an artist that had eight pieces, seven of which were decent photos and one of which was a photo with an ai background.
And i zeroed in on that ai piece so fast that I didnt even realize they were part of the same collection. Because not only was it ai, but compositon-wise it was much weaker than the others. Because of the AI background, I was aware of its other failures.
And then, because this one seemed so low-effort, I started questioning the legitimacy of his photos, which were perfectly fine and some of them i really liked. Like... not are these ai, but like... are they actually yours?
And then, because I spent so much time on this one guy's poorly composited AI piece, I forgot to enjoy the other artists on that wall.
When I was in art school, they told us that a collection is only as strong as its weakest piece, so when choosing your piece make sure they are a show of your best and that they work together. And I thought that was silly. But now that I see it in action im like... damn, it really does work that way sometimes.
Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!
Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-
This is such a sophisticated home, that even the child's room is color-coordinated beige. 1928 Hollywood Heritage / English style estate in Woodland Hills, CA. 6bds, 9ba, 6,474sqft, $5.995m (Zillow's est.: $5,697,400). It was once owned by actor Gene Hackman.
The stately entrance.
I have to say that this house doesn't even look lived-in.
The very formal living room.
They have black & white photos of the house from an earlier time, but you can tell that it was more colorful by looking at the furniture.
Well, they've got a little bar cart in this area.
Funny, this is cozy, but there doesn't seem to be a larger dining room. I do like the ceiling and the built-in cabinet, though.
The large eat-in kitchen.
All, this beige, but check out the powder room.
Small office with a cute little fireplace.
It's English style, but it has a bit of a gothic flair, too.
The large primary bedroom has a separate alcove for sitting, and doors to the patio.
Elegant closet and dressing table.
The mirrors are dizzying. The bath matches the rest of the house.
Here's the lifeless child's room. It does have nice shelving.
Look at the nursery. If I remember correctly, infants need color for proper eye development. Something like that.
This bath has a toilet alcove.
I like this bedroom. Well, specifically, that arched feature.
Here's a family room. Oh, a red chair in the corner. How did that get there?
The billiard room with doors to the pool. Even the pool table has a beige top and lighting fixture.
Oh, look, an art studio. Brown and beige paintings only.
I was raised on the strict principle that the driver only drives. Shotgun seat is a duty, not a privilege. Second seat is the first passenger, the second in command. Shotgun does everything that the driver needs done. Driver wants water, shotgun hands them the water bottle, already opened, and closes it after the driver has had their drink. Shotgun manages the navigator, googles things that popped into the driver's head and wants to look up real quick. Reads the driver's incoming texts and texts back as the driver dictates - upon the driver's request. Driver only drivers. If your ass itches you don't take your hands off the fucking wheel, the secondant scratches it for you.
Then you sit down in the car of someone who's an excellent never-had-a-crash driver and watch in horror as they go 80 kmh on a curving forest road, opening a water bottle one-handed while applying lip balm with the other, changing music by pecking their phone's touch screen with the tip of their nose like a bird, all the while steering with their left ass cheek, and you feel your soul leave your body just in case your body is also gonna leave the car after it, through the windshield, in the near foreseeable future.
