Sigh, guess I’m combing through my twitter follows looking for tumblr/whatever links. The flashbacks to doing the reverse back in like 2018 are relentless lol… and I have significantly more people to go through this time 😔
“Tea leaf jar with view of Mt. Yoshino,” Nonomura Ninsei, 17th Century.
[ID: a rounded tea-leaf jar with a narrow opening and four small ornamental handles. it is glazed a creamy white/tan but embellished with a design of hills and blooming flowers in contrasting shades of green, red, and brassy gold. the slanting, layered brushstrokes on these hills add depth and texture, before each hill recedes into the jar’s background again. /end ID]
Sigourney Weaver / production still from Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979)
Babe are you okay I saw you reblog Sigourney Weaver / production still from Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979)
The commentary by Ridley Scott he did for the Quadrilogy Boxset about this scene is hilarious. He said “She refused to pull up her panties and shave at all.

I must not buy. Buying is the purse-killer. Buying is the little-dopamine that brings total bankruptcy. I will face my wishlist. I will permit the limited time sale to pass over me and through me.
