Ok was anybody gonna tell me the company is coming clip was from a video where human lizard hybrids stuck in the nineties have been secretly living in Gayle’s house this whole time and Terry falls in love with one but he thinks she’s his father or was I just supposed to learn that watching Gayle episodes myself
i wanna talk about the fact that jenna marbles says she never used to scream laugh before she met her man julien. that is the single most romantic thing i’ve ever heard of oh my god? imagine living your life for a good two and a half decades and every time something funny happened you laughed like you always had and then one day you meet this person you like and they make you have this one laugh where you scream from happiness. imagine that kind of life you get to have with your person where they unlocked an entire new level of laughing for you. that’s what real hashtag goals are.
notre dame is burning.
this is ok.
it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.
yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.
it’s not over.
victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.
the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.
renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.
it’s not the end.
