Riding the Subway with Stanley Kubrick

As most New Yorkers know, the subway system is the lifeline of New York City. In 1946 Stanley Kubrick set out as a staff photographer for LOOK Magazine to capture the story of New York City’s subway commuters.

This is one of the most haunting photos I have ever seen. It is hundreds of wedding rings that were removed from those in Concentration Camps.

I haven’t seen a single post on my dash about it being the remembrance day of the Holocaust today so I guess it’s up to me

This is sobering.

Too important a message to not reblog.

i cant handle losing a follower let alone a spouse omg

Apparently this picture (top) is currently circulating Facebook. This is some racist bullshit. Immigrants are dangerous? Is that the message?

Well clearly these people don’t know about the man in the cowboy hat from the Boston Marathon Bombing (bottom pic).

His name is Carlos Arrendondo. He has been a peace activist since 2004, when his son was killed serving his country in Iraq.

Carlos is an immigrant from Costa Rica. At first, he was an undocumented immigrant, but is now a US citizen.

When the bombs went off in boston that day, Carlos ran towards the carnage. He found Jeffery Bauman (the man in the wheelchair) lying on the ground in a pool of blood, both his legs blown off. He picked up Jeffery and carried him to a wheelchair, all while pinching shut his exposed artery to stop him from bleeding out.

Later, from his hospital bed, Jeffery described the bombing suspects to the police. Without Jeff, the police wouldn’t have been able to identify Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother so quickly. And without Carlos, Jeff probably wouldn’t have lived to talk to the police.

Preventing legal immigration won’t stop massacres like this from occurring (just ask natural born US citizens like James Holmes, Adam Lanza, Jared Laughner, Eric Harris and Dylan klebold, and Timothy McVeigh).

But it will make it harder for the Carlos Arrendondos’ of the world to save more lives.

Fun history facts with Riley and Victoria number 3!

‘The College opened in September of 1932. An article appeared shortly after in the New York Times about the progressive women’s school. The first sentence read: ” On a Vermont hillside this week gayly sweatered girls are thronging the campus of a brand new college which has the highest tuition, the least pretentious buildings and the most revolutionary curriculum of any in the United States.’” - Victoria

Also, just wanted to add this beautiful photos of Martha Graham and Bennington students. Because they are so COOL.

-Riley
