Are you aware of what website we are on?

I see someone needs to be reminded of the Harkness test

who has that post about the big statue with like a snake pillar body and sunburst head w/black spot on it that turns to look at you

A of all, thank you for knocking that one out in 2 minutes flat. B of all, for context, right before making this post i got this text

[id: received text message of a photo of xu zhen's artwork Hello, the work described in the previous post. replying text message reading in all caps "that bitch is at Stanford?"]

apparently it's not doing the turning-to-look thing at present so i wanted to give proof. also now i need to visit!!!

there's two versions of this statue! her name is "hello", and both this and the moving version are by artist Xu Zhen. the first iteration, made of silicone, steel, resin, and animatronic mechanisms, has been moving from museum to museum - and very much still does turn to look you in the face, sometimes getting very close up to do so!!

this one that youve spotted in the wild is also named Hello but was made as part of the ongoing Standford Plinth project! she's made of cast bronze, will sit here for two years, and then be rotated out for another statue. i think she is so wonderful you are so lucky to see her!!! :D

xu zhen describes his big column snake with a cavity for a head as "cute". i think he is right :)

here's an article about it if you'd like to read more!

LORE!!!

fathers casually dropping the craziest lore of their lives in the middle of a conversation

My brother and I trying to piece together our dad’s life based on random info he casually brings up once and then never mentions again

When my great grandpa was on his deathbed my grandpa (his son) was with him and says his last words were “I told them they shouldn’t have hanged that woman. Well by damn they’re paying now” and no one in my family knows what the fuck that means

My grandmother was harassing me about the dangers of online dating, and my grandpa was like, “Oh fer crying out loud, leave her alone. My parents met online, she’ll be fine.” Apparenly my great grandparents were both telegraph operators who would chat over the line in between messages and fell in love and my great grandma moved halfway across the country to marry a dude she met over the telegraph.

No one alive in the family had ever heard this story until like 70+ years later when I happened to start seeing a dude from OK Cupid.

I think the Jedi council should have at least considered sending obi-wan over to Dooku to be like “yes hello I am here for sith training” just to see what would happen

Like, we know from the rako hardeen arc that he’s a good enough actor to pull this off. Combined with Dooku’s clear affection(?) for him, I think the council would have most of the separatists’ top military secrets in a month, max

I mean, even if Obi-Wan got caught transmitting information

Dooku:…what are you doing

Obi-Wan, panicking slightly: I’m a double agent. Passing them bad intel.

Dooku: I didn’t ask you to do that

Obi-Wan: …i’m taking initiative????

Dooku:

Dooku: We’ll it’s about time SOMEONE around here did

Palpatine: There have been far too many “coincidences” with the Jedi lately. The information your new apprentice is transmitting is accurate, I’m sure of it.

Dooku: My boy would never do such a thing

Palpatine: Your b— you know, the whole “no attachments” is a Jedi thing but I think we need to have a talk

The Black Series - (2022)

Some of The Avengers sporting a black version of their iconic suits. Before you ask “Where is Bucky?”, “Where is Nat?”, etc…their suits are already black or dark blue so I didn’t see the point of including them in this series BUT I’m currently working on a new one and they’ll definitely be there. ♥

I use too many devices to keep track of all the panels I’ve saved of “Peter flirting with men or otherwise indicating he’d be dtf”, so fuck it, I’m going to stick them all on this post as I rediscover them.

This shit is why Spider-Man can never join the Defenders and also why he is a widely acknowledged menace.

SIR–

What does this mean

Spider-Man swings both ways.
