I am completely fascinated by this abandoned home some urban explorers came across in Belgium. It’s covered in moss, which only adds to its charm, but look at the Plexiglas sunroom. 

Look at the big windows.

There’s a lot of mold inside, but this would be the kitchen. 

There appear to be stairs going to an upper level in the living room. There may be a bedroom in that dome on top of the structure. I wish he’d taken more photos.

Looks like there’s a bathroom in there. 

And, there appears to be a pantry here.

Apparently, it’s been abandoned for 30 yrs., but whoever lived here must’ve had a child, b/c there’s a Mr. Turtle sandbox. So fascinating.

im so here for the interpretation that even though the Little Tiber washed away Percy's invulnerability and weak spot, Percy still has his increased strength, power, and stamina from the curse and is steadily burning away at his mortality and only now thinks he's not

looking into the safest way to use antique ceramic dishware (with respect to potentially leaded glazes) made me notice something interesting in CPeak

I read online that very decorated areas of old china are at the highest risk for lead leaching. while still technically safe if the glaze is intact, these areas should not be exposed to hot or acidic foods for long periods of time

the tea set used in the movie is Royal Crown Derby’s Old Imari 2451, specifically the cup style seen below:

notice the decoration on the inner rim, an unusual feature since most teacups I’ve seen are only decorated on the outside. that seems to imply a slight increase to the concern of lead leaching into drinks served therein, since the tannins in tea make it rather acidic

rewatching the movie, though, I noticed that the teacups are never filled past the bottom of the interior decorations

from what I’ve read, I doubt an adult woman would have been at all harmed by several takes of drinking one sip from a just-filled cup (the tea wouldn’t even have been sitting in it for a long time), even if it was completely full. lead poisoning is cumulative over time, and a risk of leaching isn’t a guarantee by any means. I might not use those cups full to the brim, every single day, for years, but. occasional use would probably be fine, my research seems to indicate

still, I do wonder if that was an intentional safety precaution on the part of the cast and crew. or they could have just wanted the decorations to be fully visible

Jarvis Cocker once admitted in a magazine interview in the late 90s that he was actually a virgin for a very long time and wrote about romantic/sexual situations in songs long before actually experiencing it himself

as a long time virgin myself(still am) I find that hot and inspiring 💜

turns out there's a map that shows you the most famous, or infamous, person of any place in the world, dead or alive. it's going by their birthplaces, and if you click on a name it gives you more information about them. the more you zoom in the more specific it gets, you can check who's the most famous person in your region. the map was put together by a Finnish guy named Topi Tjukanov. pretty cool if you ask me.

I'm a punk jew!!

I'm pretty mixed on wearing crosses for the reasons you've listed, but also bc I'm a convert so most of the crosses i own are pretty bland anyway.

I do love the reclamation of the 'scary' imagery but also the context change. like with goat/horn imagery, it reminds me of the origin of the scapegoat and of sacrifices in general which is pretty fun and funky

Oooo yes yes yes!!! I love that interpretation especially considering the history of Jews as scapegoats
