These Are Things.

My name is Justin. I'm going to go ahead and drop words and pictures here.
bnjmndotme: So I traveled to attend one of the two Refused reunion shows in New York City at Terminal 5 NYC this past Sunday. It was phenomenal. It ranks high among the top 5 shows I’ve been to in my life. Dennis Lyxzén has always had a poetic way with words, but something he said that night really resonated with me — “NEVER let anyone tell you how to live your life.NEVER let anyone tell you what to do.Stay curious. Stay wild. STAY HUNGRY.”

servile-masses-arise: demons: Ordinary people. The courage to say no. The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowd, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labor for marrying a Jewish woman. We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment.
