Old things: Sometimes [...] good, sometimes [...] it’s so menacingly unforgiving that it’s best to be left to its own rotting demise -

A couple of little treasures found in the archives at work..
A request for more fish! (I have no idea why Senator Hayden would be the person to handle such a request, in fact)

I like old things.
And no, I don’t just mean “antique” or “vintage” collectibles (though I also like those).
I mean old things.
My favourite sweater is a hand-me-down.
I buy beat-up books from yard sales that I’ve never heard of before.
I’ve had the same converse sneakers since I was 14, and they’re the most comfortable shoes I own.
“Old stuff” that other people don’t want is great. It only has to have value to you.
What’s your favourite old thing you have?

Listening to Shrike by Hozier while looking through a huge scrapbook that belonged to some highschool girl in 1921 was NOT a good idea cause I'm so close to sobbing

The painting portrays the anguish and remorse on the face of the elder Ivan and the gentleness of the dying Tsarevich, forgiving his father with his tears.

To date, the painting has been targeted by vandals twice. 1913 was the first instance of this - when 29-year-old Abram Balashov, a well-to-do icon painter, stabbed the part of the canvas showing the faces of Ivan and his son with a knife, leaving three long slashes. As he did this, he screamed: “Enough of death, enough of bloodshed!” After learning about the incident, the Tretyakov’s gallery curator Georgy Khruslov took his own life by jumping under a train – ashamed that his staff didn’t keep the painting safe.
