: he gives serious hair envy. undisputed king of the quiff, he's deservedly one of france's most revered actors. jean gabin & his bloody barnet (probably) were born in 1904. he was, in his earlier years, a staple of film noir, starring in 'pepe le moko' (featuring ) & in jean renoir's phenomenal 'la grande illusion'. he went on to canoodle with simone signoret in 'le chat'. if you don't know who he is, fix that.

digital ink drawing of the inestimable french thespian, jean gabin, ubiquitous lung dart protruding elegantly from his unmistakable facehole. pensive - perhaps, perplexed - jean raises his eyebrows at a sight in the distance. there's a soft, golden cream-coloured moon behind him & he wears a striped winter scarf with his french blue duffle. background is french blue.

Millennia ago, Neanderthals and humans met, mingled and mated. And your health may depend on DNA from these long-lost ancestors. Live Science explains how "in some places in our genome, we're more Neanderthal than we are human.” https://flip.it/qiJdOD

A Flat Place by Noreen Masud on and its link to land -

The flat landscapes metaphorically represent the erasure of and personal trauma, much like the draining of the fens removed the natural history and biodiversity.

@BonehouseWasps @benroyce Absolutely. The human brain is as complex as the universe, and therefore as varied.

APROPOS OF EVERYTHING
you know what's interesting about the Dorothea Lange @DorotheaLange pics of in the United States? since she focused on migrant workers and small farmers, many of these people owned cars and/or (mobile) houses.

just a reminder that poverty is always relative to the amounts of wealth and resources hoarded by the oligarchy, not by whatever material possessions are owned by the poor.

i like following the @DorotheaLange bot because it reminds me to look into what LOC has about Puerto Rico's . today was reminded of PRERA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_Reconstruction_Administration#The_Puerto_Rico_Emergency_Relief_Administration_(PRERA)
and of Jack Delano's work in Puerto Rico which was, much like Lange's, to document La Isla's poverty.

here's a 1941 pic of sugar cane workers from Río Piedras. notice the woman's shirt. instead of flour sacks,

poor women in were clothes from sacks of sugar.
