Peace is something we must work for! It doesn't just happen, it has to be nurtured, protected and sometimes fought for.

🗺️🇫🇷🎇 [Special History] The Men took the Bastille, and the Women took the King

“The revolution of October 6, necessary, natural and legitimate as it was, entirely spontaneous, unexpected, truly popular, belongs mostly to women - The men took the Bastille, and the women took the king.” (Jules Michelet)

🇫🇷🎇 [Spécial #Histoire] Les Hommes ont pris la Bastille, et les Femmes ont pris le Roi

“La révolution du 6 octobre, nécessaire, naturelle et légitime, s’il en fut jamais, toute spontanée, imprévue, vraiment populaire, appartient surtout aux femmes - Les hommes ont pris la Bastille, et les femmes ont pris le roi.”(Jules Michelet)

I watched a lot of the Glastonbury Festival coverage over the weekend. Here's my main take away: The festival organisers are a bit out of touch with the popularity of some artists. Both in terms of overestimating their appeal and also underestimating just how many people want to watch certain bands. Avril Lavinge, London Grammar, Peggy Gou and several others should have been on far bigger stages. Avril clearly should have been on the main stage. Sound issues. Whether it's a TV broadcast thing or an in field thing, if it is in field, at nearly £400 a ticket, it's pretty inexcusable. I imagine most festival goers wouldn't complain, but I'd be pretty pissed off if I'd spent that much. Heilung are incredible. That both men and women in the band were topless, felt like such a huge moment for the desexualisation of women's bodies in non-sexual situations. The broadcaster initially tried to cut away but gave up, and it just felt like the most subtle, gentle and genuine way to showcase equality, and that, ultimately, it's just no big deal. Otoboke Beaver's guitarist crowd surfing on an inflatable beaver while getting the crowd to sing 'We Are The Champions' by Queen was probably my favourite moment from all the coverage I saw.

Furiosa’ Fires Up Cannes With 6-Minute Standing Ovation for Anya Taylor-Joy and Teary Chris Hemsworth

In a remarkable display of cinematic fervor, "Furiosa" ignited the Cannes Film Festival with an electrifying premiere that left audiences in awe and admiration. As the highly anticipated prequel to George Miller's iconic "Mad Max" series, "Furiosa" has been the subject of much anticipation and speculation. However, its unveiling at Cannes exceeded even the loftiest of expectations, earning a thunderous six-minute standing ovation and moving its stars, Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, to tears.

The film, directed by George Miller and starring Taylor-Joy as the eponymous Furiosa and Hemsworth in a yet undisclosed role, promises to delve deep into the backstory of one of cinema's most enigmatic and beloved characters. Set in the dystopian world of the Wasteland, "Furiosa" takes audiences on a thrilling journey through a harsh and unforgiving landscape, where survival is a constant struggle and hope is a rare commodity.

The Cannes premiere offered a tantalizing glimpse into the world of "Furiosa," showcasing its breathtaking visuals, adrenaline-pumping action sequences, and gripping emotional depth. From the moment the lights dimmed and the opening credits rolled, it was clear that audiences were in for a cinematic experience unlike any other.

Anya Taylor-Joy's portrayal of Furiosa captivated audiences, with her fierce determination and steely resolve bringing the character to life in vivid detail. Taylor-Joy's performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, showcasing her range as an actress and solidifying her status as one of Hollywood's brightest talents.

Equally impressive was Chris Hemsworth's performance, which reportedly left the actor visibly moved during the film's emotional climax. While details about Hemsworth's character remain shrouded in mystery, his presence on screen was undeniable, adding depth and complexity to the film's narrative.

But perhaps the most unforgettable moment of the evening came during the film's conclusion, when the credits began to roll and the audience rose to their feet in a spontaneous display of appreciation and admiration. For six minutes, the theater echoed with thunderous applause and cheers, a testament to the film's undeniable impact and the talent of its cast and crew.

As the applause finally subsided and the lights came back on, it was clear that "Furiosa" had left an indelible mark on the Cannes Film Festival and the hearts of all who had the privilege of witnessing its premiere. With its captivating story, stunning visuals, and powerhouse performances, "Furiosa" has set the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable cinematic journey, one that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on audiences around the world.

thinking about humans in different parts of the world all agreeing that having an Event just to display shiny trinkets is the way to go (or as @permanentlyspacedout so eloquently put it, crow brain!)

And not just agreeing that displaying trinkets is neat, but that the displays should be tiered.

case in point: in the toasty regions of South India, we do the bommala koluvu

(apologies for the blurred images; they're from wiki and here)

and of course, there's the probably better known tiers of Christmas trees (flicked this from here):

(my mum argues that nativity scene dioramas are more akin to bommala koluvus than the tree, but I'm too hung up on the (admittedly flimsy) tiered connection so shushhh)

And then a lil digging on the interwebs led to me discovering Japan's Hinamatsuri: (Image source)

(look at that! steps again!)

something something humans across regions are connected by the apparently innate urge of going "dolls on steps tho".
