sorry but snow is such a well written iconic villain and donald sutherland performs him so fucking good it's almost hilarious how i start practically foaming at the mouth every time the man opens his mouth to say something deplorable in those movies, like he's so utterly and despicably wrong about almost every crucial thing from katniss and peeta's relationship to human nature as a whole and yet the second he starts talking about how hope is the only thing stronger than fear and how you have to allow a little hope but control it so its spark doesn't grow into revolution and how it's the things we love the most that destroy us you bet your ass i am on the floor screaming crying throwing up because that is my psychotic mustache-twirling villain RIGHT THERE

Ancient Necklace with Mosaic Glass Beads, from the Eastern Mediterranean, c.100 BCE-100 CE: this necklace is composed of 30 glass beads, most of which are decorated with stylized faces

From the John Paul Getty Museum:

The beads are made of multi-colored opaque glass and are decorated with heads and floral designs. The necklace is in good condition; some beads are chipped or cracked.

The exact origin of this piece is unknown, but it can be traced back to the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was likely made by a Greek or Roman artist.

Each bead has a width of about 1.2cm (roughly half an inch); they're decorated with remarkably intricate details, and each face is depicted in its own unique style.

Out damned spot!

The results of my short lived career as a purpler. Long story short, don’t invite an archaeologist to a toga party if you don’t want historically accurate togas.

SINCE WHEN IS BILLIE EILISH AN ARIES RISING????????

There's a new info that's supposedly from her birth certificate that gives her early Aries rising. The previous 11:30 am that gave her Pisces rising came directly from her.

Her mother is an Aries Sun tho, that would fit.

"Doc" Janus

From Roleslaying with Roman

[pyxy-styx]

My current Minecraft project is redoing my old Sanders Sides world in a superflat world because while I love some of the builds in the old one dearly, the layout doesn't really work for doing new things and I really want to play around with the idea of The Imagination/Mind Palace and the things they could do in it.

Patton is gonna have a neighborhood with lots of houses and a park and maybe like, small little stands selling things

Logan is gonna have a city with things like record stories, libraries, cafés, bookstores, apartment buildings, restaurants maybe

Roman is going to have a fantasy village because he's Roman, and what else would I do?? I'm thinking of making a theater somewhere in his, and he is going to live in a castle (I'm torturing myself and making a castle I will have to decorate)

Virgil is gonna have two areas, one in the "light side" and one in the "dark side, but I haven't figured out either of those outside of knowing that the "dark side" one is gonna have a Vegas vibe because I have a theme for the "dark side"

Janus and Remus' areas haven't been decided yet, but again, Vegas vibes. It's gonna be a whole vibe, I'm very excited

“Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is pleased to present Ernesto Neto’s Between Earth and Sky, on view in New York from May 14th to June 16th, 2022. 

earthtreelifelove in the downstairs gallery is the culmination of Ernesto Neto’s ongoing exploration of the relationship between humans and the environment as inseparable entities. The cotton crochet carpet is made with spiral formations that represent the earth and the ocean, and the top of the sculpture represents the sky and leaves falling from a tree, highlighting the cycle of nature. Viewers are able to take off their shoes, lie down on the carpet and gaze up to experience a moment of meditation and contemplate their connection with the natural world. In Steps and Leaves, over 520 knotted cotton formations are attached directly to the surrounding walls in the main gallery, representing human steps moving through the earth. Combining his signature biomorphic shapes, and using weight and gravity to dictate form, Neto creates an alluring environment of color, texture, and smell that collapses the distance between viewer and artwork, and human and nature.

On the second floor, Ernesto Neto has created a sculptural garden beneath the skylight that is comprised of spices, mulch, pebbles, soil, and plants. Neto will invite the public to plant the garden in a special presentation, where visitors can connect with the natural environment and one another. Surrounded by an outline of bricks and crochet forms, Neto has created a sanctuary in which the plants can thrive. In the project room, new drawings and smaller sculptures are on display. Neto fills handknit crochet puffs with an array of spices and lays them on the ground so that the spices seep through and create patterns that resemble sun rays on the floor. In the drawing, Neto takes a crochet sculpture filled with spices and throws it onto the paper to create the shape of the sun. By producing a trace of this action, Neto challenges the static nature of sculpture and draws a connection between the human body and his work.”

Archaeologists in France have revealed an exceptionally well-preserved Roman craft district buried in silt for centuries. It has yielded a treasure trove of artifacts, including Roman shoes, leather fragments, glass pieces, and more.

Me watching that awarding winning performance by Roman Reigns our Tribal Chief:

When he was talking about taking on extra responsibility elevating the family.

Then when he said he was done, started crying and took off the Ula fala and put it on Jey.

Then Roman got on his knees crying.

But then he gave Jey a low blow.

Then he went on a murdering spree.

This man is good at this it's amazing.

Give this man all these awards.
