It’s International Museum Day, happy International Museum Day! In honor of International Museum Day, here are some digital images of inanimate objects depicting animate objects: animal friends from discerning curators, collectors, and museums. Are you ready to marvel, to goggle, to ooooh and aaaah? Lovely. Welcome to the museum.
This little monkey is smiling (kinda) because it has just seen its first IRL humans in a long while at the Ashmolean Museum (@ashmoleanmuseum).
Gamboling kittens at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis (@thechildrensmuseum).
A smoothly blue-blown glass bird vessel that lives at the Corning Museum of Glass (@cmog).
This blue monkey is apparently very old. And now it is in Brooklyn, courtesy of Booklyn Museum (@brooklynmuseum).
An ox, now resident in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (@philamuseum).
Found among art history buff @artfoli‘s finds: the earliest-known 3D likeness of a cat in Egyptian art. It’s no Etruscan boar, but woah. We’ll take it.
Hey! If you have the time, go check out my new art blog @cherryalmondvanilla ! I’m pretty new at digital art, but I’ve started posting more on there now and would appreciate it if you have the time :)
This film evokes a similar sort of nostalgic sadness as does My Neighbour Totoro. In terms of beautiful scenery, I don’t think I’ve seen a Studio Ghibli film that quite rivals Arrietty. Not to mention the SOUNDTRACK. I’ve linked my personal favourite from the film, but all of the music carries the same weighted emotional feeling that makes Arrietty such a good film.
he tells her his mother forced him to go to a fortune teller only a week ago, the fortune teller said she would predict the greatest love he would ever know and he saw her in his head
the girl doesn't believe him and asks for proof
he says the fortune teller gave him a photo and pulls out a picture of the girl given to him by the fortune teller
the girl is shocked because the photo was taken when she was alone with one other person
the show is about who took the photo, how it got to the fortune teller and whether this is actually magic or if someone has a huge plot involving the two of them - suspects crop up all the time and they work together to rule them out
probably along the way they end up actually falling in love so the prophecy ironically comes true
(Ps I described them as a boy and girl to make the description clearer but it would work with a gay couple too)
Somewhere, lost in the clouded annals of history, lies a place that few have seen — a mysterious place called the Unknown, where long forgotten stories are revealed to those who travel through the wood.
In my head I know I’ve been in love before, but it doesn’t feel like it. Being in love with you is better than the first time. It feels like the first time and the last time and the only time all at once.
Can we get some kind of movement going to stop adults assuming all 17/18 yr olds are massive party people? Like, I went to the dentist the other day and was talking to him about how I’m going to University in September and as I left he was like “remember to brush your teeth after your wild nights partying, even if you don’t, just brush them as soon as possible, even if it’s when you wake up the next morning.”
I don’t go to parties and feel uncomfortable agreeing with him on this because some part of my British uber-polite DNA makes me incredibly adverse to lying. But if I say “I don’t party” that can provoke further questions like “why not?” and THEN what do I say? I can’t exactly start listing all my issues with social anxiety and my weird phobia of drinking and alcohol to my dentist, I don’t need him knowing about my existential fear and dread of people my age. So then I have to do the awkward laugh-nod, where I’m not agreeing but not disagreeing, simply acknowledging the fact that you spoke which comes across rude.
Just please adults, stop assuming I’m some rave-going alcoholic Uni student so I don’t have to go through this trauma because getting anxiety about telling people I have anxiety is just too ironic.
