I’ve stopped being sorry for all my soft. I won’t apologize because I miss you, or because I said it, or because I text you first, or again. I think everyone spends too much time trying to close themselves off. I don’t want to be cool or indifferent, I want to be honest.
So my girlfriend and I went to a creationist dinosaur exhibit and it was pretty amazing
Misprint on that sign: should say “Evolution teaches that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and science confirms this with carbon dating, but the Bible implies another story though dinosaurs were never specifically mentioned anywhere in the book.”
“ezra miller is going to be the first lgbt+ person to play a superhero!!”
i mean yes he’s going to be the first to get a solo movie but

So does anyone know what function is served by the sticks in the walls of the Malinese and Burkinabe architecture?
the second photograph is no unknown, it was taken by Margaret Courtney- Clarke in Burkina Faso and published in her book African Canvas
So I’m not 100% sure on this but I think the sticks in the walls in West African mud-brick structures serve a similar purpose as rebar in concrete: they provide extra tensile strength (essentially resistance to being pulled apart), especially for upper-story floors and roofs. Also, since these buildings need to be resurfaced regularly, the bits sticking out are useful for climbing up the side of the building. Plus they look cool.
Also, gotta add the Grande Mosquée de Djenne, the first iteration of which was built sometime between 1200-1330:
