An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked “Philippines 1942”. Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?

“BACK WHEN TIME DIDN’T MATTER” — AN OIL PAINTING BY RIONA

synjectivism

one of my hot takes is that it is actually YOUR responsibility to learn to cope with the fact that you are aging and time is passing. it is your responsibility to be aware of that and process it in a productive way. you should have a basic awareness that you were a child, and have become an adult, and you will eventually become an elder, and at the same time there are people around you at various stages of aging, and all of us are going through this process together and entering different stages.

processing aging and time and your own death allows you to actually be in the world of right now because you've already accepted that you are already part of history, your exact moment in time is not the most specialist or unique moment, things will continue on after you and this is your time to be involved in things.

& if you don't do this, you end up being a ticking time bomb of ageism that could go off whenever you have to interact with anyone significantly older or younger than you. and that behavior is absolutely insufferable to be around and hampers the development of intergenerational relationships, because every other human being who isn't in your age bracket becomes a walking symbol of your own unprocessed fear of death, so you feel the need to either make fun of them or obsess over their moral degeneracy or both.
