I just saw perhaps the coolest art installation I have ever heard of.

This is a perfectly normal pin. On the head of it are 2.417 quintillion angels, give or take a few billion.

Joe Davis and Sarah Khan, the artist behind Baitul Ma’mur, (House of Angels) encoded the Arabic phrase “Subhan Allah” onto synthesized DNA, and then used that DNA to coat the head of a pin. According to some traditions, any time Subhan Allah is said or written, it creates an angel. With DNA being as dense an information storage medium as it is, this single pin has more created angels on it than have ever been born from human throats across all of human history.

And then in a fucking genius move, the art installation takes the form of a functional vending machine, loaded with an impossibly large quantity of angels. For $25, which goes right to the artists, you can buy a pin. I’m thinking about taking mine out of the test tube sometime and encasing it in resin to turn it into the highest % angel by volume earring ever worn, but that’s a project for the future.

There isn’t much else I can say that isn’t said by the documentation accompanying the exhibit. The photos aren’t the BEST quality but they should hopefully be mostly legible.

As of right now this installation is located at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and if you’re ever in the area you should totally check it out

Hey, in the midst of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike, I’d like to encourage everyone to join a Union. They’re genuinely so, so important when it comes to fighting for your rights as a worker. Look into specialized unions for your industry or join a larger organization like The Industrial Workers of the World (which grants membership to ANY worker in ANY industry regardless of current employment status). Learn your rights. Unionize. Fight back.

reminder that teachers are forbidden from joining or starting a union in several states 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 it's because those states have made collective bargaining (ie the reason why having a union is important) illegal.

Yes in many states unionizing is "illegal" to discourage collective action, but remember the first unions were formed without any legal frame-work.

My job unionized while public sector workers were still prohibited from unionizing in Colorado. A bill just passed that has made it legal, which should help us bring in members who were on the fence for that reason, but the union was formed before that without retaliation bc they need us for the government to function (tho leadership still hasn't engaged with us, which is it's own issue).

Even if you're "not allowed" to unionize, start organizing. Ask your coworkers what they care about. See if there's an existing union you can join who would support you. Fight the power!!!

“Right to work” is the name for a policy designed to take away rights from working people. Backers of right to work laws claim that these laws protect workers against being forced to join a union. The reality is that federal law already makes it illegal to force someone to join a union.

The real purpose of right to work laws is to tilt the balance toward big corporations and further rig the system at the expense of working families. These laws make it harder for working people to form unions and collectively bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

god I hate john lennon so much and whenever I see that fucking photo of his hairy br*tish ass naked and clinging on to yoko ono like a bald fucking chimp I throw up in my fuckin mouth

ratsofftoya

this is very callous and cold of me but when I learned that he abandoned his wife and son Jude just so he could go fuck yoko ono, straight up stopped talking to his son because he kinda didnt want him anymore, and then left his inheritance and royalties solely with Yoko while his ex-wife and son struggled with near poverty I was happy he got merced by that one dude in an alley. It really broke my heart to hear that the other members of the band wrote Hey Jude while John partied

fucker was so self absorbed with himself and preached about his bullshit hippie “what if we, like, not fought?” philosophy and anti-materialism yet its widely known now that he was a complete fraud who was insanely greedy and arrogant. Im glad hes dead and cant make any more shitty music and fuck every yuppie who defends him with rose-tinted glasses

chlmera

i got curious reading this post if this was true and boy howdy it is actually so much worse! this is all just from the surface-level wikipedia article on john lennon, btw; i have no doubt you could find worse stuff if you dug.

ratsofftoya

He beat his girlfriends and became possessive of them, cheated on women, nearly strangled a woman to death in a drunken stupor only to be restrained by a roadie, and was a violent homophobe and an anti-semite who threatened to blackmail his gay jewish friend, and before I only knew about the whole abandoning-Julian thing

anybody who SERIOUSLY tries to defend his actions by saying “he changed music!” and “his words inspired generations of revolutionaries and the counter-culture!” or “everyone has a darker side” need to get their ass kicked. This man was a monster and a fraud, and he needs to be remembered as such rather than this bullshit messianic figure that the music industry made him out to be
