god tho so I'm researching Minoan sealstones for Fic Reasons and I stumbled across the Pylos Combat Agate, which is a sealstone (in other words, a seal made of carved precious stone or gold that was used to create a relief in clay or wax) that was found in a grave in Pylos (Greece) in 2016.

(all photos via the University of Cincinnati)
They used photomicroscopy to take that last photo, because this entire sealstone is 3.6 centimeters long, or about an inch and a half.
and it is
*deep breath*
3500 YEARS OLD
This thing is estimated to be from 1450 BCE.
Y'all, I am losing my mIND. Apparently, experts think that it had to have been carved using a magnifying glass? Which is nuts because they've never found any sign of anything like that from that period.
It really just goes to show how much we've lost from ancient history, y'know? We have our assumptions about technological abilities and art history, and then we find one little rock that totally upends everything we thought we knew -- and then you have to wonder how many equally beautiful works of art there were back then that were just lost to the ravages of time.
I mean, we know that fragile, delicate things break more easily! So god, like -- can you even imagine what must have existed back then that we don't know about? How many gorgeous things have disappeared without a trace?? because they were just never designed to be sturdy??? they were designed to be beautiful?????
Guys, I can't stop looking at this thing. Can you even imagine creating something like this with the technology they had back then? How long it would've taken? The skill it would've required?
Tumblr media
This little sealstone is making me pace the halls, I'm so excited!!!
(and if you'd like to know more, here's an article from Smithsonian magazine about it, and here's the researchers' Palace of Nestor excavation webpage!)

*writes the same exact headcannons in slightly different scenarios over and over again*
#it all comes back to my unicron-spawn Starscream and my quintesson-built Jazz#today I worked a little on us Starscream and qb Jazz becoming friends and getting a absurdly similar dynamic to how I write Prowl and Jazz#but I stopped that to work on a memory loss fic w that Jazz fighting his way from autobots to Starscream bc he was the only one who he#trusted with a complete memory back up as another not-cybertronian#and I stopped THAT to work on a qb Jazz/Prowl fic where it's non-essential no pain killer surgery that Prowl has to do on Hazx bc he refuses#to go to medics. partially bc the surgery is completely unsafe in any firm and partly bc qb Jazz doesn't want anyone else to know what he is#(and Prowl barely knows either)#but I only got a few sentences into that b4 I went to do an Autobot!DJD (AJD?) torture scene w qb Jazz where the nameless character to die#manages to tear open his chest while fighting back and finds nothing inside#BUT that's rlly similar 2 a fic where I've done the same thing w Starscream (the chest discovery in a scuffle bit) so I reread that before#I got distracted thinking abt my Starop fic that's all Starscream doesn't have a spark because he's a ghost Optimus Prime doesn't have a#spark because he's a lab experiment gone rogue. Misunderstandings ensue. which I adore but have no idea how to fit a plot into#so bc I couldn't think of anything more than a few sentences for that I went to my fic where ALL of the command trine formed from Unicron#but Skywarp and Thundercracker died early and Starscream spends millions of years searching all of cybertron and hoping Vector Sigma#reincarnation works for unicronians too. biiiig depression angst fic. I can't decide if I want it to end in Starscream self-inducing stasis#in one of Vector Sigma's chambers or whether I want it to end w Starscream brutally murdering the new trine member the reincarnated versions#of Skywarp and Thundercracker were made with (who ftr would be Sun Storm)#n that fic reminded me of that one rewritting of the Starscream's Ghost ep where Starscream catches a glimpse of Scourge and immediately#attacks. it's barely a fight because in seconds SS is ripping through layers of armor desperately searching for Thundercracker beneath the#shell Unicron gave him. He needs Thundercracker to be there (he isn't). Only when his claws have gone completely thru Scourge's back does he#round on the armada- only to completely ignore Cyclonus and go for one of his clones (Skywarp)#and that reminded me of- *gunshots*#do u see why I only ever manage to post ponies?? I have less ideas w them so I actually finish.#I'm worried of hitting tag limit but I have plenty more of even less fleshed out fics for us Starscream and qb Jazz#(I barely said half of what's in my writing docs)

"People get after me because I say there's no such thing as a creative person. This business of - we don't create a fly or a raindrop or a snowflake, but we can reflect creativity. And when we reflect creativity, we discover. And that's the whole thing about life - discovery. And that's what I live for - discovery."

This song is about starting the journey of life, and finding who we truly are. We as people often get disappointed at when life troubles us but this song is an expression to embrace life with everything in us. I feel as if we are all connected and all share one thing in common. We are all searching for more and more in our lives and I think it's amazing to be able to experience all this beautiful life this world has to offer. Especially with others, we are never alone even if it may feel like it. Music heals. Music has the power to bring people together and I believe music can transform the way we view the world.

Listed: See Jazz
Tumblr media
See Jazz, the recording project of Brooklyn-based songwriter Aaron Pfannebecker, uses drum machines and synthesizers to construct warped bedroom collage pop guitars and earworm vocals. Jennifer Kelly liked the single “1982” from Pfannebecker’s Is This Anything? a whole lot, noting its “vertiginous balance between tremulous, astral ideality and wounded, grounded vulnerability, the same contrast between ragged doubt and heavenly solace.”
Some songs that stick to me lately
Cyndi Lauper — The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough
youtube
I’ve always loved this song and I recently rediscovered it on a dive into Lauper’s music again and it always puts me in a great mood. It just makes me happy like a lot of Motown does especially The Jackson 5. It bops.
The The — This Is the Day
youtube
This is a top 3 song of the 1980s and probably was the biggest influence on this record I just made whether I knew it or not. I could listen to this on repeat forever and never give sick of it.
The Osmonds — Denim
youtube
No one’s written a better song about a decade.
Minnie Ripperton — Les Fleurs
youtube
One of my favorite songs. It has the biggest chorus that hits like 20 “Smells Like Teen Spirit’s.“ It’s epic. It’s holy. Minnie Ripperton’s voice is one the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. Maya Rudolph is her daughter and Ripperton died way too young.
Jeff the Brotherhood — Camel Swallowed Whole
youtube
Jake and Jamin have always made great music, but this is by far my favorite thing they’ve ever done. It’s great. Everyone should hear it. Kunal Prakash also plays on this I think, and you couldn’t ask for more awesome people to be making great art together.
Bob Dylan — Precious Angel (Live at the Warfield Theatre)
youtube
One of the things I think we all take for credit is Bob Dylan’s ability to always evolve and change a song. People use to slam him for not being able to recognize classic songs they wanted to hear because he plays them entirely differently than their record versions. I think people are coming around now and we all should. Its’s rare and it’s brave and no one owes anyone anything especially in art. This take isn’t too different than the recorded version except for one thing. It’s got 100x more soul.
New Order — Regret
youtube
This is probably my favorite song by New Order. Although that could change. It’s got everything I love about them. Incredible drums over great drum programming. Peter Hook’s the best melodic bass player from the UK. He shines here. The tones of the keyboards fit perfectly and Bernard Sumner’s guitar is perfect. His direct lyrics are perfect.
Haruomi Hosono — Sports Men
youtube
Philharmony is a record I keep coming back to. It’s dense and still open and very much a vision of one person. YMO is great but this one hits me harder and “Sports Men” is the poppiest song on the record. It’s straight ahead in an unusual way or unusual in a straightforward way. Whatever you want it to be, it is.
Discovery Zone — Dance II
youtube
This is the last new song I’ve heard that’s still my favorite new song I’ve heard. It’s been a couple years and it’s still my favorite new song. It’s the perfect pop song. Discovery Zone is the recording project of JJ Weihl. She’s brilliant.
R.L. Burnside — Let My Baby Ride
youtube
This is a great genre collision. 1 + 1 = 3. It’s still new and it’s evolution. It’s got a very early Beck feel. I love everything about it.
