the feminine urge to tragically, romantically drown here.

in a shakespearean way, not in a scary way

same spot today. still slightly frozen despite being 75 degrees. weird to be looking at a partially frozen lake while i’m in short sleeves and sweating

i’ve been to this spot in central park several times and never noticed this face until pokémon go, of all things, brought it to my attention. couldn’t find any mention of it anywhere else. pokémon go called it alexander the great. i think it looks like jebediah springfield from the simpsons

Folk faith sorceries often deploy like to thwart like. A system of sympathetic magic to defeat hostilities believed to be walking abroad. The placement of Wicker Queens on agricultural land as field wards is an example of imitative practice and many a farmer will tell you it works. – Dr. M. Benn

The Georgian pendant vaulting of the nave at St John's Episcopal church, Edinburgh. The work of William Burn, 1815-18, the thin wall shafts leading to fan vaults give the illusion that the walls are wavy, but they aren't. All the vaulting is non-structural, of course. 1/2

My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!
