The Definitive Good Omens Ineffable Edition book is an absolute delight. I don’t want to spoil even a fraction of the goodies it has.

But I gotta share this one. It contains two separate portraits done by Leonardo Da Vinci (they were bros. I love it.)

But if you put the two together... (sorry for the roughness it was edited on my phone)

They really didn’t have to go this hard but it’s overwhelming the amount of details like these that are sprinkled everywhere. There was a lot of love and hard work put into this. You can feel it. Like flashes.

“In [fairy tales], power is rarely the right tool for survival. Rather the powerless thrive on alliances, often in the form of reciprocated acts of kindness —from beehives that were not raided, birds that were not killed but set free or fed, old women who were saluted with respect. Kindness sown among the meek is harvested in crisis.”

— Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby (via decadent-romanticism)

hey so uhhh here’s an important update on what’s apparently happening at the border, especially with the use of the old japanese internment camps

all i can say is i’m sickened by this mess, by the atrocities committed against innocent people. and now there will be no surveillance. no one will be able to see what happens to these people. the UN, the media, and any other human rights organizations cannot get into these facilities, either, in order to stop what’s happening. by the way, coast guard members were apparently aiding in this process as well. so now it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a military movement.

no one gets in. no one gets out.

so when are we going to call this what it is? it’s fascism. it’s genocide. and if we don’t stop it now, it’s going to be disastrous.

contact your senators, your representatives, anyone that’s in office that can get off their lazy ass and do something.

Not art related but incredibly important

I read, this Sunday June 30. ICE Raids were going start in 10 major cities including Chicago, LA, Miami, Atlanta, Baltimore, New York, and other cities. However, they have been postponed for two weeks from now. Honestly I don’t believe it.

There is a very long, very terrifying article on the Washington post if you want to read it. Basically, ICE has been prepping and gearing up for this mass raid and it sounds terrifying. Just google mass ice raids Sunday and you’ll find it (I’m on my phone so I can’t link it up)

To all of you:

Please stay safe. If your on a visa for school or work or whatever have your papers with you. ICE has been know in the past to just take people and sort it out later while you’re in custody, probably in horrible conditions. They supposedly postponed the raid but I dont know, it seems like a cover to me, it just sounds suspicious. So please stay safe. Go to ACLU and read your rights.

It’s hard to know what to do to make and impact in this horrible situation. But getting the word out is key. Physically going out and protesting is also important. You can donate to the foundations I’ve listed above in my previous reblog (nikkilanecreates). I also urge you to go to VolunteerMatch and find something local that you can do to help out families, kids, and communities who are rightfully scared given the state of everything.

And finally if you support these attacks that this horrible presidential administration been promoting please leave this blog. You’re not welcome here.

@_di_ma Apartment complex, Ivry-Seine, France, 1969-75 architect: Renée Gailhoustet, Jean Renaudie ; This particular residential complex by Jean Renaudie forms part of a set of interventions which he carried out in the city of Ivry outside Paris. The size of the project makes it the most significant by this disciple of Auguste Perret and Marcel Lods. Jean Renaudie was the founder of the Atelier de Montrouge, alongside Pierre Riboulet, Gérard Thurnauer and Jean-Louis Véret. In 1968 he left the Atelier and continued in the company of Renée Gailhoustet. He has left his mark in an architecture which colonises the territory like a rhizome. The oblique angles and the green element shaped the strategy to lighten the presence of concrete. The main Ivry complex is made up of 40 social dwellings, offices and stores which are mixed on different levels and which link both sides of the old Lenine Avenue. The term brutalist, which has been used to describe the work of Renuadie, seems somewhat hasty to define the urban richness which this project harbours. Nearly forty years after its construction, the freshness of the proposal remains intact. #brutgroup photo via #isc20c #_di_ma https://www.instagram.com/p/BzDaD2HoPum/?igshid=954h5e8pz92p

Having been dragged back into fandomhood this year, I have to talk to you all about these overwrought analyses my bbs.

Firstly, you’re finding these little synchronized details in costumes and sets and narrative because they are by design! It isn’t coincidence! It’s a crew of professionals doing their best to weave their source material together seamlessly and bring it all to life. They work hard and they’re good at it. Everything on screen is there by choice.

Secondly, shot design is a language. There are only so many ways to structure it. This is the reason you can do a matching side-by-side comparison of different shows. We’ve made enough movies now that we know this is the best way to depict the subject and narrative function of this type of scene.

TLDR; It’s not cosmic coincidence, it’s craft and skill from your friendly neighborhood production crew.
