I think this is one of the best ways we can Say No.
This is what the real Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes – all of whom have been Captain America – would want.
oh wow
My favorite thing about Victor Hugo is that the Notre Dame Cathedral was a huge eyesore on the verge of collapsing and was planned to be demolished but Victor Hugo was like “hey :( I like that building” and wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame to save it. and it worked
In the book he described the cathedral in the state it was in but also in comparison to what it looked like in the 15th century before it got all fucked up in the French Revolution. His book got translated into a fuck ton of languages and was distributed all around Europe. Tourists who were fans of him would go to see it while in Paris and were appalled to see just how bad of shape it was in and it started to become stain on paris’ reputation.
So finally the king funded the Hella expensive restoration which I imagine was one really fucking gnarly project, the structure it’s self being the tip of the ice burg because of how many religious artifacts and statutes and junk that had been ruined.
So thanks Vicky that’s one hell of a beautiful tower.
In 1986, Expo 86 was held in Vancouver, British Columbia. Wanting to be the main attraction, McDonalds built a 57-metre-long barge which was named “The McBarge.” It had intended to showcase future technology and architecture. However, it wasn’t as popular as they had anticipated and was left abandoned to decay.
i want to live on the mcbarge
This Living Park May be Singapore’s Most Brilliant Eco-Architectural Gem Yet

@autocrossbow finally a game we can play
I’m not gonna lie, this looks really fucking cool
#i don’t think i can put into words just how pivotal this moment is #because for so long we’ve been presented this female Chinese-American Watson and decided not to question it #“why is her last name Watson? because her father’s white; let’s move on” #“watson doesn’t have to be a white male; here’s proof of that!” #and that’s a perfectly fine way to engage a text #but suddenly we have this; something that engages in the complexity and cultural baggage behind that kind of name; that kind of title; #the cultural heritage and the politics of otherness vs assimilation that an immigrant’s name bears #that’s *huge* in terms of the meta-narrative and how to interpret a text because so many Holmes adaptations are just different variations #of the same song #Joan Watson was not born a Watson; she stepped into the name #it doesn’t just challenge and update the Holmes mythos but actively interrogates it #by asking it why this narrative is a) so exclusionary and b) so stifling in its interpretations #that’s extremely meaningful in terms of how we engage with cultural symbols and a franchise as symbollic as the Holmes mythos #anyway: i’m emotional/screaming/dying my skin is clear etc etc (tags via @stardust-rain)

I mean, sometimes you wait for 13 hours to get @hamiltonthemusical cancellation tickets and end up seated next to Harrison Ford, with Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson directly behind you. It’s fine. I’m okay.
Isn’t that Ted Danson behind them too?
WITH MARY STEENBURGEN?!?!?!?
(BTW, Danson totally photobombed that first selfie)
I WANT TO KNOW IF HARRISON CRIED
Okay, wow.
