What an insanely powerful piece and a masterful use of black and white.
I’m honestly not sure what the authorial perspective of the crusades was. In the late 1800’s, it probably wasn’t safe to be openly critical, but this feels very critical.
The soldiers seem almost skeletal. There’s a ghoulish tone to everyone except the angel, who seems to be undeniably leading this army of the damned.
Really interesting image.
As a former 3a owner this project is entirely awesome to me. Really cool stuff and really well done.
I really like this one.
Still OSHA, I believe. I did a quick google and they seem to have rules for fishing boats.
OSHA does not approve.
Beautiful art, however.
Beautiful art for a fascinating moment in the Bible. For those who’d like to know more, I wrote a small blurb:
So this is one of those oft-misunderstood moments in the Bible. Mary is sitting at the feet of Jesus while Martha works to host everyone. Martha gets all huffy at Mary for not helping, but Jesus protects Mary.
What’s interesting is there’s subtext here that isn’t about housework or hosting.
Sitting at the feet of a rabbi is where one learned to become a rabbi. Paul himself says he learned at the feet of Gamaliel, a famous rabbi of the day.
Martha was upset that Mary was presuming to learn like a rabbi. She likely thought Jesus was just being nice about it, so offered a pretext for him to dismiss her. Jesus shut that down hard. Women are welcome to learn to become teachers in the kingdom he’s building.
-Luke 10:38-42, Acts 22:3 (nrsv)
Yeah, there was an exhibition match between Serena and Venus and the 203rd ranked male player.
I think because guys are pound for pound stronger than girls. I’ve read stories on Reddit years ago by girls who are wrestlers or fighters and get into a playful tussle with some random guy and they describe it as terrifying.
This is why I’ve yet to make the leap from windows. I just don’t have the technical chops nor spare time to many my OS a hobby.
When can I get one of these voices to read an epub on my phone? I’d love to have something like that
I mean, Ron isn’t exactly brilliant either. I guess that just leaves the authorial self-insert?
It’s like you’re trying to make the beach more difficult to enjoy.
I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke that got out of hand or a real thing.
How would this handle audiobooks? I’ve not made the move to Jellyfin yet, as Plex handles all my multimedia needs for now, but I’ve been keeping an eye on Jellyfin’s development with interest.
@[email protected] Can you explain in more detail why 37 was lucky in Ancient Greek?
I’d be inclined to browse on past this if I came across it in a magazine. It’s obviously very monochromatic, but there’s a lot of depth to the work when you give it a good look.
This is amazing. It’s not a subject I would have considered interesting, but it’s incredible.
I love both of these.
Spicy take around these parts.
