Oh my, I can’t even begin to explain how much I want this machine.
Singer: Has realized that steampunks exist and that it’s an extensively DIY culture.
Want
Ooooooooooooh.
Lacks the artistry of machines from 100 years ago, but I like that it’s black. I can use a black machine.
That’s one distressed pig. Or maybe he’s just loudly making a point. He hangs below a sunburst pewter button that hangs in turn from vintage steel chains. The necklace clasps at the side with an antique silver or silver-plated spring clasp. An MGA logo tag dangles at the back. (via Pig Like That: necklace, vintage assemblage by MillenniumAssembly)

Wildlife officials attend to a pygmy elephant calf on Borneo island in Malaysia’s Sabah state. Malaysian wildlife authorities said they had rescued a pygmy elephant calf on Borneo island and expressed hope a planned sanctuary would provide protection for the endangered animals. The male calf, which is less than a month old, was pulled out of a deep moat surrounding a palm oil plantation.

I try to pay attention to how the things I post on Tumblr move through the web. When I recently posted scans of images from a 1971 magazine titled Black Is… by Martin Dreyer, I was happy to see that a number of Afrocentric blogs picked up on these photos and began recirculating them. In the interest of giving the people some more of what they want, I’ve scanned the entire publication. You can download it from the Public Collectors PDF page.
Black Is… is a photo-heavy magazine celebrating several generations of key figures in black history across many fields and disciplines. It includes black athletes, musicians, politicians, writers and revolutionaries. The magazine is particularly enjoyable for the many photos sourced from United Press International that are accompanied by short biographies. From the introduction by Dreyer: “In these pages you see some of the many blacks who have made the breakthrough, who say with hope and compassion to their brothers and sisters: “Follow me. The only way we can go from here is up.”“
