#Jan. 4

[newyorkthegoldenage]

The American Women’s Voluntary Services began operations on January 4, 1942 at Sixth Avenue and 42nd Street. They ran a mobile kitchen serving hot drinks, doughnuts, and sandwiches to all men in uniform. This being the '40s, cigarettes were handed out, too. Some of the first “customers” are shown taking advantage of the free service.

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

[alison bechdel voice] it’s like a 1950’s lesbian pulp novel…

the grand final

My i wojna:

see the og propaganda for us and the war here

Stańczyk:

see the og propaganda for stańczyk here

[the tags in PL read: #i don't know what i will do if stańczyk loses #it's very timeless and that's what i love about it #the nobles partying while the country is tumbling down #what more could you wish for]

and of course:

HAVE FUN EVERYONE

Does anyone else think that the one-sided relationship Sazz wanted to escape was actually with Jan?

[bored-boring-and-tired]

when jan came back to charles’s apartment in the last episode there was only one thing i could think of…

she’s a little lad who loves berries and cream

January 4, 1950 was an unusually mild day. These four women—Marilyn Wichlenski, Ruth Meserole, Terry Darcy, and Marian Krish—enjoyed the weather in Cadman Plaza in downtown Brooklyn and read the papers. One is the Brooklyn Eagle.

What do you know, the end credits did change after ep 3 🙂

Episodes 1 and 2 used the same image:

But for Episode 3, it became like this:

It is the same table but with all of the main characters sitting (albeit with a good distance between each other) for a meal 😊

And in today's Episode 4:

They are all huddled on one side of the table while Suradech still sitting away from them, though not that far that he won't be able to join the conversation if he wants to.

Now, I wonder if this is just aesthetic (since the four characters are the leads in this series anyway) or is Suradech's exclusion from the four may mean something in the upcoming eps. 🤔🤔🤔

I am yearly attending a music summer camp at the end of july- if you read this between July 21 and August 3/4 2024 that means I am away. My experience tells me I wont have a lo of time to check tumblr that is why I say this blog is on hiatus. However if you see me hanging around from time to time it is probably just me needing 5 min. break - however I wont be able to draw (I don't have my tablet with me for digital art or a scanner for traditional art) and the internet at the camp is not always great so it will probably be very minimum what you see of me.

If you are in need of contacting me you are still very much allowed to do so either here, in my IG dms or if you know my discord then on discord - however I might take a bit of time responding for the same reason as mentioned above.

I will be home around August 4 yet may need a day or two to recover.

Thank you all for suggesting these lovely prompts as my last drawings before the hiatus btw - I plan to restart commissioning when I arrive home again if anybody's interested :3.

Gorgeous Radio interview with Kris, Jan and Nace highlights:

after esc their wet dreams exploded into reality (Kris’ words not mine)

Nace would like to be Jure for a day so he could play drums and annoy everyone with the noise

Kris would like to be Bojan for a day and Jan would like to be either Kris or Nace for a day

Kris IS SO IN LOVE WITH KÄÄRIJÄ loved meeting up with Käärijä after 3 months and then playing Cha Cha Cha live with him

their fav gig from the nordic tour was the Tampere one

current fav song to perform live: SSOL

Nace’s fav fan gift was a booster pack of pokémon cards

Nace’s fav pokémon is Gengar because it’s purple and Kris’ is Mewtow. Jan doesn’t know a thing about pokémon

Jan likes Nace what’s new

no plans for jo x Käärijä Cha Cha Cha studio version (Kris: “maybe you just have to come to another gig in Finland to hear it” 👀)

they talked about their fav biscuits and Nace, as a gluten free person, said he loves gluten free stroopwafels

Nace knew what biscuit Jan was gonna say was his fav before Jan even said anything 😭
