Collection of lachrymatorys (or lachrymosas), these tear catchers or tear vials - sometimes worn on a necklace, sometimes merely held - were used to gather the tears wept by mourners at funerals, to hold the tears of people mourning the passing of loved ones. One type of lachrymosa had a special top which allowed the tears to evaporate (signifying the time to stop mourning), others had a sealed top to allow the tears to last for a year, at which point they would be poured on the grave of the person whom the tears were wept for, Victorian era, 19th Century.
On one hand these are beautiful and this is a really interesting and unique form of death ritual. On the other hand Victorians are sooooo fucking extra. Like wow could you make things any more dramatic if you tried.
Possibly the greatest scene in documentary history. Incredible. #PlanetEarth2

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MAKING MISTAKES. EVEN I, THE GREAT AND LOVABLE PERIDOT, HAVE MADE AT LEAST TWO MISTAKES TODAY
Chicago police shoot and kill Joshua Beal leading to clash between BLM activists and pro-police protesters
- Joshua Beal, 25, was in Chicago on Saturday for a funeral for his young cousin who died recently due to gun violence.
- Beal was driving in the funeral procession of vehicles when he, a firefighter and 2 plainclothes police officers got into a traffic dispute.
- A firefighter’s insistence that funeral vehicles were blocking an emergency fire lane and causing delays sparked an initial argument
- Ultimately, one of the police sergeant fatally shot Beal
- Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Beal had a gun and refused to drop it.
- Beal’s family said that, not only did he legally own the gun, he did not fire at the officer or firefighter.
- She said the dispute was sparked by plainclothes police officers who cut off her daughter’s vehicle from the procession and pointed a gun at her daughter, without identifying themselves as officers.
Hours later local Black Lives Matter activists came out to support Beals’s family. Pro-police protesters in the area responded by threatening Beal’s family and activists with violence. Video and witness accounts reveal things got really ugly and racist.
THEY PULLED HIS CAR FROM A FUNERAL PROCESSION AND MURDERED HIM
WHAT KIND OF BARBARIC SHIT
THIS CLAPBACK THOUGH👏🏻👏🏻
I’m getting this framed
Sheesh
The fact that this is local to me annoys me. The fact that Royal Oak ain’t shit compared to Wyandotte or Grosse Pointe when it comes to racist asshats is fucking sad

do you think this is what lovecraft meant whenever he described something as being beyond description
my fav trope is like, nonhuman characters not understanding human needs/customs but still being super supportive of their human companion
“look what I found while exploring this planet’s surface!” “kilrak please I’m trying to sleep” “ah yes your human circadian rhythm. *stage whispering* I am supposed to be quiet during this time in your rhythm, yes?”
“the book I purchased on ragnok V says humans require physical touch when upset. therefore, I shall engage in a ‘hug’ with you.” *supremely awkward five-armed hug ensues*
*human sneezes* “OH MY GOD SIL'EEN GET THE MEDIC OUR HUMAN IS DYING”
“this pamphlet I received recently says that humans require companions and packmates in the form of small earth creatures. you should have told me this before we departed earth, but it is no worry. we will have to stop at the next trade planet to get you one of these ‘cats’ or ‘dogs’.”
imagine the aliens really purchasing a kitten for one of their rough and world-weary scifi badass human companions and watching in helpless wonderment what ensues
“she’s been cuddling that small animal for the past fifteen minutes just going ‘kitty, kitty’. did we - did we break our human?”
a more seasoned alien puts one of their tentacles around the younger one as the rest of the team gathers to watch their human make kissy noises.
“no, kilrak,” the alien says. “we did good.”
“Human-Steve! I have heard that today is the anniversary of your hatching! According to my human culture pamphlet, it is customary to set a sugary pastry on fire while chanting your species’ growth incantation and presenting sacrifices wrapped in shiny paper. I am afraid to ask, in case this ritual is sacred and this request therefor insensitive… but may I be allowed to participate? It sounds much more fascinating than molting.”
