Normally I’m not a big fan of public displays of affection, let alone high-pressure public marriage proposals, but after hearing some shit news tonight about a friend whose partner suddenly died, I feel the need to post THE.MOST.AWESOME.CASTRO.MARRIAGE.PROPOSAL.EVER.

Damn, what a voice.
Don’t like the design, don’t like the 1,776 foot height silliness, but I’m glad the hole is filled. Here’s video of the top off:

And here’s a link to some Buzzfeed photos.
Worked a job downtown in late 2009 and stared into that hole every day from a height of twenty-some stories. Glad to see some semblance of normalcy return to downtown now that this construction and the demolition of the DB building is done.
The photographer who took this picture at the collapsed sweatshop in Bangladesh says it best:
Every time I look back to this photo, I feel uncomfortable — it haunts me. It’s as if they are saying to me, we are not a number — not only cheap labor and cheap lives. We are human beings like you. Our life is precious like yours, and our dreams are precious too.
They are witnesses in this cruel history of workers being killed.
Beethoven is the best orchestrator, but how do you explain this?
