So it’s been 18 months since I was able to go to an exhibition. The Wes Anderson exhibition featuring sets, costumes and props from The French Dispatch was the perfect way to resume

This is such lovely art and reminded me of this great Reylo Roman Holiday AU https://archiveofourown.org/works/16349573/chapters/38255369

REYLO WEEK 2020: Day 7 - Free Day

Roman Holiday AU - Ben Solo is the prince of one of the oldest royal houses in Europe. On a stop in Rome, he decides to escape for a few hours. But because of some plot, he meets Rey, a reporter for the British Foreign Press who’s down on her luck. He says his name is Kylo Ren, and she says she works in sales. Rey knows that if she gets the right information out of him, she’s about to get the scoop of her career! So they spend the day together in Rome…

(I made a B&W version as well)

STOP WRITING OFF OLD PEOPLE

they were not “going to die in a few months anyway”

the average life expectancy at age 70 is 15 years. fifteen years! when i am 70 i can tell you i am going to want every minute of every remaining year i can get because i’m not going to be anywhere near done thinking and talking and traveling and being with loved ones. it’s 2020, 70 is just not that fucking old any more

“okay but what about like an 85 year old” no. fuck you. the average life expectancy at age 85 is 6.5 years. (that’s not a discrepancy … the longer you live, the likelier you are to be made of resilient stuff.) my father is 84, a bit creaky round the edges, got a few of those underlying conditions, but yanno he’s not fucking done yet either, he’s full of beans, and many many people would prefer him to stay that way

old people’s lives are important. i’m sorry about your generational trauma, i sympathize even, but stop it

The Greys Court wisteria

I saw it about a week before it bloomed in late April last year, and was planning to go back this year to see it in all its glory. Maybe 2021.

Dior ‘Junon’ dress (1947)

This was my fav dress from the Dior exhibition at the V&A last year. Then I spotted it in a picture on Rachel Elspeth Gross’s blog on Instagram and had to compare them.
