The world is a circus, and I'm Pagliacci

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked “Philippines 1942”. Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?

I literally just chopped up some leftover storebought pie dough into squares and fried it up in some 350-370 degree oil to see if it'd turn out like beignets. It didn't, but they're still really good, especially with powdered sugar. Better than my pizza-dough donuts and for about as much effort. They're super buttery and flaky. The only downside is that if you don't hold them carefully they just kind of shatter.

a blog with this single post on it just followed me and then immediately unfollowed me
