Teehee, one of my Blake's 7 OCs... she is a chronic freak and thoroughly useless amongst her rebel companions (just likes the convenience of travel), she's there regardless.

Louis Tomlinson and Eni Aluko are both cultural icons and storytellers in their own right, so not only do they both have a strong affiliation and affection for the boot, they also depicted the journey beautifully. We could have easily banked a million taking heads saying how great the Pred is and their favourite moment, but I think that would have actually diluted the impact the story had. Both of these incredible talents described the feelings we all had growing up in a way that was captivating enough for us to build that fashion and pop culture section out.

here’s a speculative idea that has me in a HEADLOCK. first, infectious cancers are a thing: clonal cancers which can be transmitted from individual to individual without the aid of an infectious agent like a virus. best known are the canine venereal tumor and the Tasmanian devil facial tumors, both of which spread through direct contact with mucosal tissue. in the case of dogs, fucking, and in the case of Tasmanian devils, biting the shit out of each other’s faces. a handful more exist in clams, and the clam cancer cells are known to be able to survive in seawater and spread without direct contact.

modern bony fishes (teleosts) evolved in and still mostly live in seawater; they’re entirely covered in mucosal tissues, their skin having no layer of dead epithelial cells on top; and many species live in groups and engage in cannibalism. the major histocompatibility complex is what mediates tissue/allograft rejection. It’s possible that the ancestral condition of hugely diversified MHC class I alleles in teleosts is because an elevated risk of transmissible cancers exerted a selection pressure that’s just absent in mammals.

we’ve never found a transmissible cancer in teleosts so this remains fully hypothetical (but have we looked? I do not know) but god damn is it cool. bony fishes might have rearranged their whole fucking immune systems against the threat of infectious cancers. I really do need to reread Xenogenesis sooo bad

George Harrison (wearing a William Morris print floral jacket, purchased at Granny Takes A Trip on London’s King’s Road), Pattie Boyd, Mal Evans, and Derek Taylor at the launch party for Apple Tailoring (which was to open the following day) at Club Dell’Aretusa, King’s Road, London, May 22, 1968.

“I have a good iconic shot of [George] in a flowered jacket that we used to make.” - John Pearse, Fab Gear: The Beatles and Fashion (2011)

“The occasion is a launching party for Apple Tailoring, a new Beatles’ venture in the Kings Road, featuring men’s and women’s clothing designed by a Beatles friend, John Crittle. Explains George: ‘We bought a few things from him, and the next thing I knew, we owned the place!’ The conversation moves briefly on to some happy chat between George and a friend about them designing a flower-covered dustbin. Then we talk. Says George: ‘We’re still involved in a hectic recording scene at the moment, although I’ve spent this week at the office. All that paper-work. There’s about 35 songs we’ve got already, and a few of them are mine. God knows which one will be the next single. You never know, not till you go right through them. I suppose we’ve got vague idea of the overall conception of the kind of album we want to do, but it takes time to work out. We could do a double album, I suppose… or maybe a triple album. There’s enough stuff there.’ […] George is almost obsessionally sincere about meditation, in spite of his obvious let-down Yogi-wise. And it’s given him almost that look of holy inner calm (together with a nice, mellow sense of humor) that wouldn’t disgrace the most devout of monks.” - article/interview by Alan Smith, NME, June 1, 1968 (x)

#OTD in 1916 – Approximately 1,000 copies of The Proclamation of the Irish Republic are printed in Liberty Hall in a print office set up by James Connolly.

The proclamation would be read by Pádraig Pearse outside the General Post Office on Sackville Street (now called O’Connell Street) on Monday 24th April. The proclamation was printed secretly on an old and poorly maintained Wharfedale Stop Cylinder Press in the printing office that had been set up by James Connolly in the basement in the original Liberty Hall in Beresford Place, Dublin. All seven…

a woman and her daughter were on my tour who were descendants of one of my favorite guys involved in the boston tea party (partly bc i find him and his catastrophic marriage fascinating and partly bc he's portrayed by a man i consider a good friend) and said she didnt know much more about him than the name

and i got to tell her about his elopement, and who his closest friends were and i wish i'd had more time to talk to her further but i got her the contact info for our research dept

but she got a little emotional when i was talking about him as a young man with friends who went to parties by the river and made his best friend his best man at his wedding, and i got the sense she'd never thought of him like that before

and idk man thats what its all about to me. im sure when she gets in contact with nick, she'll get more substantial biographical stuff, but it felt really nice to turn an old name into a normal 23-year-old for this woman
