Cherry blossom inspires the parabolic forms of this pavilion

Visitors can shelter beneath the overlapping petals of this pavilion in Taiwan, which is inspired by cherry blossoms and made with parabolic forms.

The lightweight temporary structure, designed by Marc Fornes, principal of NYC firm THEVERYMANY, is installed in a public park in Taichung City. It riffs on the organic undulating forms of white and pink yīng huā, or cherry blossom, but it is made with thin-shell aluminium, which nods to the park’s wider industrial surroundings.

Blaues Dreieck - Blinky Palermo

Blaues Dreieck by the German artist Blinky Palermo is a stencil used to create a blue triangular form. The stencil is editioned published by René Black in 1969. The triangle should be installed over a door at its centre point. Here it can be read as a decorative ornament, but it can also seem to charge the room and its entrance or exit, particularly because of the intense blue colour, associated with heavenly transcendence, and the apex of the triangle that appears to point upwards beyond the realms of architecture. This effect is, in turn, undermined by the work’s impermanence – the fact that it is painted on the wall and it must be painted over to be removed, as well as its status as an edition rather than a single object.

Palermo made several works using isosceles triangles, starting with Tagtraum I 1965 and culminating in Blaues Dreieck, which was installed at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 1970, where blue triangles were painted onto the walls and evenly spaced. In his essay ‘The Palermo Triangles’ art historian Benjamin H. D. Buchloh has related the shapes to the triangular forms in pre-war utopian constructivist abstraction and to Joseph Beuys’s Fat Corner of 1963 (see Buchloh, ‘The Palermo Triangles’, in Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2010). Buchloh has also emphasised the importance of the work Yves Klein to Palermo in the latter’s use of ultramarine.

“We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.” Andy Goldsworthy is a land artist and photographer renowned for his ephemeral, site-specific installations made from natural materials such as ice, rocks, sand, and branches. Created with an acute awareness of the landscape’s inherent changes, his sculptures intentionally blur the lines between art and nature. Andy’s transient works are photographed only once, right after they’re created, and explore the passage of time and our relationship with nature, emphasising the impermanence of life and the continuous interplay between human creativity and the natural world.

Watery Landscapes Set the Stage for Lachlan Turczan’s Ephemeral Light Installations

It's Time For The Event Whose Name I Can't Fucking Spell!

You may or may not have heard of the premise behind Ephemeral SMP, a server that is going to exist for exactly five hours before being deleted forever, only surviving by hearsay and recordings afterwards.

The server will be survival mode Vanilla+ Java edition 1.21.3, with some basic things like pronoun datapacks and Simple Voice Chat installed for everyone's convenience. There are no gimmicks beyond the server's lifespan.

This is Milo @hiding-under-the-willow's idea, and they're going to be uploading a summary of the events of the server for a grade, so you best believe I'm gonna have the time of my life on there.

The server will be open from 5-10pm CST on Monday, November 25th, and will be livestreamed by several members such as myself, @fakezircon, @shiftingos, @gurhulk, @sammelquest, @galladegamer, @olandten-cat, and others!

Other participants will be recording and editing footage to upload to YouTube later, so keep an eye out for that as well.

It's gonna be a hell of a time! See you all there! :D

"Ocean Bird (Washup)" (1974) by Ana Mendieta ∿ Earth-body silhouettes carved in sand and flowers

[mosertone]

In 2005, a collective of Viennese artists created a monumental sculpture: a 60-foot-long pink rabbit, woven entirely by hand. The work, called Hase, was installed on Mount Coletto Fava in Italy, becoming a point of interest for hikers and art lovers alike.

For nearly two decades, this gigantic teddy bear was admired by visitors who could climb up, lie on it, or just stare at it from a distance.

However, the passage of time has taken its toll. After years of being exposed to weather conditions, the iconic rabbit is in the process of disintegrating, and is expected to disappear completely over the course of this year. An ephemeral symbol of art and nature that will soon be lost in time.

I am willing to give you or anyone else on tumblr the skills and advice the helped me get my dream job

the idea of working for TEK a few months ago would just be a fantasy

my background in education is English. I learned what I know now on my own and only by random chance.

This is why I am so critical of the linux commumity on tumblr.

They're tagging themselves as -official when they can't provide casual end user support.

They're entirely too horny to be in this sphere. Computers and linux should not be about how much you want to fuck/be fucked by X

it will deter end users

This is very cool that you will help other tumblr users with this stuff; i may actually take you up on this at some point :3

(my tone here is /g, /pos, /nm, /lh)

I do, however, kind of disagree with the other points. I think that for any other social media it's correct, twt or fb does not have the culture to make these sorts of parody accounts viable or not-counter-productive to increasing the linux market share. But I don't think that tumblr is the same.

I think that tumblr does. I think the tumblr community has always been this somewhat ephemeral yet perpetual inside joke culture where almost every user is in-the-know, and new users to the joke are able generally able to catch on quickly to it due to their general understanding of they way tumblr communities operate.

IMO, it's a somewhat quick pipeline of:

\> find first "x-official" blog -> assume it's real -> see them horny posting about xenia -> infer that RH corporate would probably not approve of such a blog

I can appreciate that it might be intimidating to seek out help as a new linux user, and especially a new linux & tumblr user, but looking through these blogs, you do see them helping out people ^^. heck, my last post was helping someone getting wayland working on an nvidia system.

The main goal of these blogs is not to be a legitimate CS service to general end-users. they aren't affiliated with the software their blog is named after, so in many cases they *cant*. The goal is instead to foster a community around linux, creating a general network of blogs of the various FOSS projects that they enjoy.

I think that final sentiment, of these blogs detering end users, is most likely counter to their actual effect on end users who are considering switching to linux.

We all know a lot of tumblr is 20 or 30 something year olds who have just stuck around since ~2012ish, and new users to tumblr join with pre-existing knowledge of the culture and platform. Almost anyone coming across these blogs are going to be people who can see the "in" joke, and acclimate. I do highly doubt that a random facebook mom who's son convinced her to install mint on her old laptop would find tumblr, find a -official blog, scroll through said blog, and be detered from using mint.

The other side of this is that any tumblr users who come across these blogs, be it with an inkling of desire to switch to linux or not, will see a vibrant and active community that fits very well into the tumblr community. They remember, or have heard of, the amtrac & OSHA blogs, and are therefore probably aware that this is a pre-existing meme on here.

In all likelyhood, this will probably further incentivize them to make the switch, as they would be more attracted to a community of their peers over a community of redditors telling them to read the arch wiki repeatedly

I can, on the other hand, definitely see that for people who have difficulties with parsing tone, and especially sarcasm, would have trouble with this. TBH, I have these difficulties (hence when I was speaking to you yesterday I used the /unjerk indicator, as I couldn't tell what the tone of the conversation was), and so it took me a little while of being in this weird "I'm 99% sure these *aren't* official, but what if?". I have been there forI think that maybe being more transparent with the fact that the blogs are parodies is probably important. I'm guilty of this, and after i post this, i'll add it to my bio.

Zenith, a sequel to my kinky D/s Professor AU A Great Conjunction, is posted!

Hello darlings! I'm back with another installment of my feral professor and student AU ✨ After six weeks of beautifully agonizing waiting, Professor Fell realizes he cannot wait a second longer to properly fuck his student- he also realizes some of the reasons why he's been denying himself and his lover for so long, and that he also can't lie to himself for much longer.

CWs: D/s, Dom/gentle Dom Aziraphale, sub Crowley, Daddy kink, age difference, university professor/university student, first time anal sex after weeks of denial, rimming, pining, obscene dirty talk, praise/light degradation, begging, emotional sex, aftercare/sweetness/fluff- please read tags on AO3 for more!

Excerpt:

Perhaps Aziraphale’s aptitude does lie in his fingertips, but not by way of putting pen to paper; maybe it’s by touch that he’s meant to extol his student. It comes wonderfully easily to him, praising Crowley with his hands, and the response his fingers inspire seems to indicate he’s far more adept when it comes to this form of veneration rather than the written word.

As they face each other on the bed, Aziraphale scrawls his reverence over the curves and angles of Crowley’s body with fingers and thumbs that pay homage to his allure, his mouth inscribes its devotion and admiration on every freckle it can find and over each peak of bone that protrudes from argent skin, the invisible ink from his tongue leaving behind ephemeral, evaporating verses Aziraphale hopes will bleed beneath the surface of the vellum folio of his lover.

“How do you want to take my cock for the first time, my darling,” Aziraphale murmurs as he palms the dampened lace caging Crowley’s cock and the fingers of his other hand caress his slick entrance, teasingly dipping one past the ring of lax muscle and basking in the strangled whines that follow, "how will I first stake my claim of this body that's been positively aching to take me inside, that's been desperately pleading with me to make a home of it?"

“Oh, f-fuck,” Crowley pants, his entire body jolting as Aziraphale’s fingers play with him, “God, fuck— f-from behind. Laying down. Want you close, professor, and deep— fuck, I need all of you so fucking deep inside, please.”

Enjoy ♥️

SET TWELVE - ROUND ONE - MATCH SEVEN

"Rowan Leaves and Hole" (1987 Andy Goldsworthy) / "Untitled" (2023 - Birgitte @prisonhannibal)

ROWAN LEAVES AND HOLE: one summer, I took an art course, not that I can find the name right now. But the theme was art and nature, and the thing I remember most from that course is the art of Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy has two modes of operation: drystone walls for permanent installations, sometimes winding across the landscape and sometimes just existing, and ephemeral art. Sculptures made of icicles, that only last until the sun melts it, leaves placed carefully until the wind blows them away or the current takes them away to be marvelled at, branches interwoven so delicately it seems unlikely they'd survive long enough to even be photographed. Rowan Leaves And Hole is one of my favourites (not THE favourite but i can't find a title OR date for that one) because the riot of colours are so carefully gradiented and then it Ends. What made the middle black? How long did these leaves stay there? We'll never know. And unlike the rock sculptures, these felt like something I could do. That was inspiring. (@kaerran)

UNTITLED: It was painted in March 2023 when there were large protest in Norway against the Norwegian government about wind farms that had been erected illegally on lands of the indigenous Sámi people, and the Norway government was not doing anything about it even though even the European courts had ruled the wind farms illegal. The painting is a selfportrait of the artist (who is Sámi herself) putting on her gákti (traditional Sámi clothing) inside out, which is a traditional sign of resistance or disagreement. As of the time of this submission the Norwegian government has not acted to correct the situation, and the violation of indigenous people's rights continues in Norway. (@inariedwards)

("Rowan Leaves and Hole" is an art piece by Andy Goldworthy. It consists of found leaves arranged into a sculpture and photographed. Goldsworthy is known for his ephemeral land art.

The second artwork is a piece done by @prisonhannibal on tumblr.)
