France cant decide what its doing bc in 1989 they got this big statue plinth dedicated to human rights and in 2002 they inaugurated this garish memorial to the french and harki soldiers that notably killed like 1.5 million algerians

Shout out to the person who visited pere lachaise presumably in the last two days and left satsumas on the memorial for the 1871 communards, eugene pottier, and monique wittig

this happens after vincenzo the violin player has the hots for a trapeze artist, makes her husband fall from the trapeze by starting a bar fight, gets her out of shock by swinging from the trapeze playing violin upside down. if u want to know why this book is good and why sfar can break my heart

Hes like prolific in the way where theres something just clearly different abt his brain. The way he changes focus resolution color and flow to mesh w the tone of the page. The fluid hops between slapstick and philosophic. I want to chew off my own arm.

for me joann sfars context-predictable jarring zionism these last two years breaks my heart constantly. dude has written so many silly sexy moving contemplative works abt artists, jews, women and god that r fundamentally diasporic but his commitments rn are to nationalism cult. His pages r still ❤️‍🔥

This bee reduction chart (coupled w fertilizers preceding poison gas) did make me want to go back in and time kill fritz haber. There was on the other side of this a fascinating thing abt this german childrens book Maya The Bee about warlike bees that was issued to wwi soldiers

And then these models of how microorganisms influenced late nineteenth century architecture and early art noveau, which i do think is cool tho the guy who first detected these critters named one after bismarck and thought of the world in terms of war and battle

No humboldt to be found in this exhibit which was a little baffling but they had a whole area dedicated to maria sibilla merian, a perturnaturally gifted early entomologist and botanist + nature illustrator from the 17th century who preceded him in genius/ curiosity/colonial complicity

At the german history museum which has really fantastic interactive exhibits up right now on “nature and german history” and “roads not taken since 1848”— nature exhibit starts w Bingen and medieval fish regulation

Dude what the fuck is this. I was trying to take a photo on the german train of this meme ad to zoom in and translate it and instead of just being low res my phone somehow inserted ai gibberish
