One of the most inventive and fun scenes in 1930s film... Ruby Keeler and Lee Dixon dancing upon the giant typewriter in "Ready, Willing, and Able" (1937)
A lovely clip of Daphne Du Maurier aged 64. I miss this generation of women who looked as they were and felt no shame.
Refusing to be crushed by ageist, sexist expectations & not being modified to look 35 forever.

George Harrison wrote Something about his wife Pattie Boyd.
This video is the only time you see The Beatles with their significant others, and it's wonderful.
Sinatra called it the greatest love song in 50 years, and he was probably right!
A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered.
If anyone sees it, please send a DM.
RTs appreciated.
Happy first day of winter! ❄️
Photographer Wilson Alwyn Bentley was a pioneer in photomicrography and the first person to photograph a single snowflake using a microscope fitted to a bellows camera.
For over half a century, he documented endless snow crystals, revealing the vast variety of variations hidden within a simple hexagonal form.

The Stones coaxing an early version of Sympathy for the Devil into shape, as Jean-Luc Godard captures proceedings on camera. A fascinating look into a song being built.

When a Crow feels sick, it goes to an Ant nest and deliberately disturbs it. This is called 'anting'. The Ants get angry and start climbing on the Crow. But the Crow doesn't move. It stays still with its wings open. The Ants then spray formic acid on the Crow. This acid helps remove germs and fungi, like a natural medicine.
After this, the crow feels better. So Smart! 🐦⬛

David Bowie promotional photo for Diamond Dogs, 1974. Photo by Terry O'Neill. The dog was initially calm, but every time the strobe light flashed, it would bark and leap toward the light. While everyone else in the studio ran for cover, Bowie remained seated and completely unfazed, creating the famous contrast captured in the image.
