Hey, so the process of moving places has tapped my bank accounts out, including savings, and I am really worried about the next steps. I have nobody to help me move. I also have a car that needs thousands in repairs.

I've never asked for this kind of help before bc of pride, but if you wanna help out, please check this link. Help a gay-ass dad and his boyfriend move for Pride maybe? Or just boost me?

I haven't been drawing much lately, but the kiddo challenged me to a cute drawing contest. Drawing cute things is not necessarily a strength of mine, but I gave it a shot.

Your art history post for today is: “The Bride,” 1873, manufactured by the W. T. Copeland & Sons pottery company after an original sculpture by Raffaelle Monti (1818–1881), porcelain, 15 inches (38 cm) tall, The Fitzwilliam Museum, The University of Cambridge. #arthistory

From the museum: “Raffaele Monti (1818-81) specialized in carving marbles with illusionistic veils. The Bride was derived from the head of a full-length marble of a kneeling Veiled Vestal of 1847.”

Tom Jones was also born on this day back in 1940. He's not always my favorite choice for music, but he's done some fun stuff:

The skyscrapers along Park Avenue in the 40's and lower 50's are all minor engineering marvels. They're built atop the rail yard for Grand Central Terminal (an early adopter of the modern real estate concept of "air rights"). Many of the newer buildings are much taller than was anticipated when the terminal was constructed more than a century ago. This heavily constrains their foundations and anchor points, leading to unusual load-bearing designs such as the steelwork shown in the photo.

This view is literally a construction site (to become the new JP Morgan building), but abstract at the same time. We see the new skyscraper, and the buildings in the background, essentially as a Mondrian-esq deconstructed tangle of lines and rectangles.

Alan Turing died by suicide on 7 June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction.

I have mixed feelings about Le Corbusier's architecture (to say nothing of his urban planning philosophy - he clearly influenced Robert Moses), but I think the UN Secretariat building was one of his successes.

An aside: If you look at the full resolution version (downloadable on flickr), you can see the HF amateur radio antenna on the roof. Nerds are everywhere, even/especially at the UN. There's also a family taking a group picture on the street in front.
