gypsy den

I have my doubts that this “den” actually belongs to someone of Romani descent, but that’s not the point.

The point is that, if you aren’t Romani yourself, you probably shouldn’t be referring to anything as “gypsy”.  Perhaps this image has something to do with this particular Gypsy Den, although I could be wrong.  Either way, oodles of ignorance.  Oodles, I tell you.

Well-intentioned racism is still racism, guys.  Now, let’s all stop being well-intentioned assholes, confess our inequities, and maybe share a group hug…someday…if and when we’re forgiven.

安楽寺 (Anraku-ji)

The Anraku-ji in Ueda, Nagano is a Buddhist temple under the Soto sect located in Bessho Onsen. It is the oldest Zen temple in the prefecture. The main hall has a thatched roof and enshrines an image of Sakyamuni flanked by Manjusri and Samatabhadra as the principal object of worship. The temple is best known for having the only extant octagonal pagoda in Japan.

Simon Peers and Nicholas Godley’s Golden Spider-Silk Textile, 2008

Currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago through October.

This textile is made with silk from over one million Malagasy Golden Orb spiders and contains no dyes.

It took 80 people 5 years to make the piece and it is designed to show how the silk transforms from individual strands to knots to threads to braids and then into a fully brocaded piece of fabric.

The curator described its texture as “diaphanous.”

To see a video on it’s construction and hear more information go here.

It’s like a fake fur…thing…I bought on sale at ASOS a few months ago.

In fact, they still have it in stock.
