just simple math
This reminds me of the crazy Russian girls I worked with in Alaska who basically taught me everything I know about being aggressive
I love her.

Sitting at the park in the dark, listening to tweens tweening and wondering whether to call anyone out on the occasional edgy swear when it’s so minor in comparison to them heading out with a bucket of raw meat to lure out the demogorgon.

three hours into a road trip when you hit an infinite stretch of farmland is where you find real power and real insignificance simultaneously
Some of y’all have no concept of what living in the Midwest is like huh
yes and I am grateful for that everyday

The family home of architect Sami Angawi, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Holy shit….
Real life solarpunk.
I just read the links, and omg this is even better.
So I looked at it and knew it was using the open courtyard and the pools and fountains to do a lot of the work of cooling the house, but it’s also got drip irrigation for all of those plants (which adds more moisture to the air and also helps cool it in addition to being an effective and efficient way of watering the plants), it’s got a roof garden and other eco-conscious stuff. It combines modern construction techniques with classic Arabic art and architecture.
And his home is a cultural center.
He holds lectures, concerts and salons in his home, with guests and speakers from around the world. He’s founded multiple institutions to preserve Islamic history and architecture. He’s an activist against the extremist factions he says are trying to hijack Islam.
His home is going to be part of an international institute offering degrees in Islamic history and science, as his legacy, housing a collection of over one hundred thousands of his photos, drawings and writings about Islam and the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
This is serious real-life Islamic solarpunk for real.
Tumblr likes the idea of solarpunk, even if there’s not a real body of work about it yet. Well, we’re missing that people are already doing this for real, and have been for a long time.
I am not generally an architecture fan. It’s nice and all, but it doesn’t do a lot for me, especially modern American stuff. But I am totally bowled over by this and must now go look at everything he’s ever designed.

FIRST
So here we are, at my new tumblr blog.
I… really don’t know what I’m doing here.
But… but it sounded like fun! o_o;;
I was so young
I have just been informed, with 10 minutes to spare, via my phone, that today was my Tumblrversary
So that means it’s beeeeeeen [checks] wow, SEVEN YEARS. I know humans who are that age NOW.
Cheers, frens.

There are many things I love about Phryne Fisher. Â One of the biggies is how much she likes and is protective of women.
I love this so much. This is one of the many reasons that I love Miss Fisher!

I just texted my German friend about this and she replied:
WE DO NOT SMILE IN GERMANY
