Ladies lift some weights

the fact she’s wearing a UFC shirt made me chuckle.

Tell me how I thought about signing up for self defense classes today ……

An entire generation of kids know what aglets are because Of Phineas and Ferb.

So creative

What a fascinating device…

Why does the Mike one look so official

Because he wore shit like that on the regular

I need these prints on my wall.

This is too much

Maybe “deja vu” is what happens when your timeline momentarily syncs up perfectly with an alternate timeline of yourself which is why you feel like this has happened before.

The Buddha bust, usually in a faux Thai or Indonesian style, is one of the ugliest and most ignorant bourgeois accoutrements one can posses. Not only is it a bland and obvious attempt to purchase the appearance of spiritual depth, its presence immediately belies a total ignorance of the context and history of Buddhist images themselves! A severed Buddha head, plundered from Borobudur, in the corner of a gentleman’s study is a romantic relic from a bygone age when the world considered genocide and forced military conquest a viable means of affairs. To keep a stolen cultural artifact as a trophy is to deny a sovereign people access to their own cultural heritage to satisfy one’s own ego. That the idea of the severed Buddha head as decoration flourishes today is a disappointing remainder that the aesthetics marketed towards the middle class are a cheaper version of those objects collected by the wealthy, further divorced from their original context.

The Buddha is not an accessory or a complement for your decor. 

Reblogging for historical context I didn’t know about.
