Beautiful bright sun all day, 71 degrees (21.7 degrees Celsius). My god it feels so good.
And now for something COMPLETELY different (via BoingBoing), this is a video by a South African artist called Spoek Mathambo. It is straight-up one of the weirdest vids I've seen in a while -- it reminds me a bit of Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense but it is far beyond that. There's an interesting (very short) article from The Guardian here, about the amazing kids who are in it and who directed it. Striking, visceral images, and a WARNING for violence and the bizarre bug at the very beginning (for folks who may be squicked by bizarre, creeping bugs). I do not know what kind of insect (?) it is, and I'm not sure I want to know.
Edited to add that there is a GREAT explanation of this video's very powerful images in the very first comment from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
needled_ink_1975! I learned a lot and, as always, that makes me happy.
