Inuit warms his wife’s feet, Robert E. Peary (1890s)

Austin Powers adaptation that focuses on Austin's emotional reaction to being frozen for over 50 years. He tries to go find old friends and loved ones from his time, but they're all very old now and many of them no longer believe in the radical projects of the counterculture movement and are now actively working against the very things they fought for during the 60s. Meanwhile, he sees all around him people still fighting for the very same things against states that have become more and more effective at suppressing the radical leftist ideas that he holds dear. He becomes disillusioned with the cat and mouse game between himself and Dr. Evil, where an evil capitalist supported by the systems of the state fights against representatives of that same state. His dreams of a better world dashed by suppression, subversion, and apathy. Austin Powers then goes rogue, fighting against not only Dr. Evil, but the same secret government agencies he once allied himself with in an attempt to affect real change from outside the system. And also he fucks a woman named Peg Ingyu or some shit.

The Evolution of Mutant political thought

Old God.  Crowned.

Chaitanya Deshpande

“If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime,” but you have done neither. You have stood before us and eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and our parents should have gotten us the same if we wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or eat a fish from another river. You’ve copyrighted the fishing net. It costs us fish to leave.

I lost it entirely at the rhubarb.   I didn’t know I needed this, and it is beautiful beyond words.

Oh, I like this a lot.  Most people tend to make Brienne’s eyes a much richer, darker blue, but this works for me. 

It was kind to omit the broken nose though.  But yeah, this works.

Matthew Simmonds, an art historian and architectural stone carver based in Italy, has created a collection of exceptionally beautiful miniature spaces carved from stone. Having worked on a number of restoration projects in the UK – from Westminster Abbey to Ely Cathedral - his skills have been transferred into work of a much smaller, if not more intricate, scale. Hewn from large stone blocks (some of marble), the level of intricacy Simmonds has achieved in the architectural detailing is almost incredible. Capitals, vaults and surfaces all distort and reflect light in a very beguiling way.
