the kids had fun learning about color theory…

[zoobus]

Laughing my ass off at this comment because I found the source and literally

Tan says, “Hundreds of flowers were painted by the students pressing their hand prints to the wall during a chilly January. Wall, hand, flower, wall, hand, flower… It was [a] heartfelt expression of gratitude for the school where they spent their high school lives. Layer upon layer of flower petals created a row of cherry trees in full bloom, through which I could feel the warmth of spring despite the cold cracks on the wall of [the] school building. It was as if the now-disused building reflected the warmth of the people who were once there.”

Color theory in a children’s institution strikes again!

for the record, this is what it looks like from the outside:

this is what it looks in a brightly-lit interior:

(source in japanese) (mymodernmet article in english)

this was a part of okurie, a project started after the great eastern japan earthquake in 2013 as a way for local communities to remember and pay homage to damaged buildings set for destruction. people would paint murals onto walls as a way to mourn and remember the buildings they once used, loved, visited and lived in. this particular mural was made by students giving a goodbye to their school that was set to be demolished due to structural damage. the longer article (in japanese, but easily google-translatable if you go in paragraphs) clearly showed this to be a project of communal joy, remembrance, acceptance, healing, and grief. it was an idea started by art students, but became a community project that took over one week– students were doing this in the dead of winter, and one girl would complain of her hands freezing. and soon, alumni and teachers would be sharing it on twitter as a means of saying goodbye.

there isn’t anything on this in english aside from the mymodernmet article, probably because this was never supposed to go viral outside of japan - but this was an art project started by local communities after horrific natural disaster, so of course some redditbro decided to take this out of context, and of course this would be reduced to dumbass jokes

[marlynnofmany]

Well I’m here both for the heartwarming wholesome art project and the dumbass joke. Thank you for adding that context! It’s lovely. What a beautiful way to say goodbye to the building.

Elphaba: You always act stupid.

There’s a lot more I can say about how we treat the working class, but nothing I can cram into 5 panels.

Since my mental health is better I guess I’ll do what nobody wants and share my political-adjacent opinions. Hope it’s sunny where you are :)

please reblog this i spent way too long on what was supposed to be a quick edit

funniest thing would be if when Queen Elizabeth dies or steps down and Charles is all ready to assume the throne, here comes King Arthur, Excalibur in hand, sauntering back from Avalon like “oof what a nap! thanks for keeping the chair warm I’m back to be king again”

[raptorific]

like, given that “King Arthur isn’t actually dead, he’ll be back to be King again someday” is, like, an actual aspect of the legend and a thing that a lot of people purport to believe, has anyone ever actually tried it? showing up to buckingham palace claiming to be Arthur Pendragon, The Once And Future King, and assume the throne? does the british government have a protocol for checking whether someone claiming to be King Arthur actually is? does parliament have a secret picture of the Real Excalibur kept under lock and key, only viewed if someone claims to be King Arthur, that they can use to confirm or refute the identity of alleged Kings Arthur? if not, how do they deter every jackass with a sward from pretending to be him? does filing a false King Arthur report constitute treason?

[lunetta-suzie-jewel]

The rules are simple. “Arthur” has to show up with a sword. They give the sword to the Lady of the Lake, and if she throws it back to the claimant, he’s legit and gets to be king again.

[pargolettasworld]

So the test for King Arthur’s identity falls to the even less officially identifiable Lady of the Lake.  No one can even agree on which Lady, or which lake, is the official one, much less how to tell if you’ve got The Lady of The Lake.  All of which suggests that all you need to accomplish this is one (1) sword, a willing female acquaintance, and a nearby body of water. 

There isn’t even any requirement for “Arthur” to catch the sword, so the Lady can just javelin an epee right at him.

[lunetta-suzie-jewel]

Well when you look at it that way, one might conclude that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
