No I'm serious, I shouldn't have buried that in tags. It's my birthday, flood tumblr with Johnnie Redmayne as your gift to me, hahaha. Here's a starter pack.
i cant get over the king charles portrait. they made that thing to age in his place. that painting hangs in the house of a too-friendly family you find in the post apocalyptic wasteland who inexplicably has a ready supply of fresh meat. if mario jumped into that painting he wouldn't find a charming platformer he would be flayed and hanged like a medieval criminal by an unseeable force in a droning red void. that painting is a color blindness test for people who work in IT but believe in the divine right of kings. that painting is going to weep the sequel to blood. after he dies charles is gonna crawl outta that thing like sadako.
The CA State Library has digitized its collection of Foreign Miners Tax documents, 1850-1867, and they are now available online. This small collection primarily contains documents related to the collection of the tax in San Joaquin County, showing how many licenses were sold and the revenue collected. Among the items is a Chinese translation of the law, and a copy of a paid Foreign Miners Tax License from 1850.
In 1850 the first California state legislature passed a Foreign Miners Tax Law, levying a twenty dollars per month tax on each foreigner engaged in mining. The law was repealed in 1851, only to be reenacted in 1852 and set at $3 a month. By 1853 the Foreign Miner's Tax was increased to $4 a month.
Of course Pluto is a planet: It's massive enough to have its shape controlled by gravity rather than material strength, which is the hallmark of planethood.

I never forgot Hugo’s description of his first contact with a train:
“The gave me Watt entirely naked, when I’d rather have him clothed by Benvenuto Cellini”
1) I agree, I love useless ornament. (although 19th c trains are beautiful to me xD)(and if he thought 19th c needed more ornaments what the hell would he think of contemporary architecture/design) 2) i wish someone would write about the quotidian with this much visionary power nowadays
