I'm so sick of this meme. Yes plants make brutalism tolerable. But really they just make everything better. The greatest structure-not-made-out-of-concrete-slabs+plants will win any day.

People be like "it's not even cool, it's only from the 19th century"

Guess what? I LOVE THE 19TH CENTURY

Pitbulls aren't dangerous because they're more capable of violence than other breeds. They're dangerous because they're stupid. There are other breeds that are larger and have stronger bites than pits that don't turn on their owners, precisely because they're smart and loyal.

Most art up until about a hundred years ago would be considered right-wing if it were made today, and I'm not just talking about religious art, but anything glorifying traditional beauty, objective morality, or romantic pathos without irony, subversion, or midwit nihilism.

The Absinth Drinker, c.1907 Léon Spilliaert
A haunting portrait explores themes of addiction, isolation, and psychological unrest. The sitter's ghostly pallor and haunting gaze, combined with Spilliaert's muted palette and dreamlike style, create an atmosphere of quiet unease.

remember when “Autism” meant hating fake normie consensus society, having little interest in others, preferring to be alone to read or be on the computer

now it means “a woman in makeup filming herself talking about herself and how others should see her”

Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels, right panel of the Melun Diptych, c. 1452 – 1456, by Jean Fouquet.

This painting of the Virgin Mary is widely believed to be a posthumous portrait of Agnès Sorel, the favorite mistress of King Charles VII. Sorel was considered the most beautiful woman of her time and was the first officially recognized royal mistress in France. 🧵
