i'm not easily bugged!
i just get the same vaguely queasy reaction to "i get crushes on jewboys" as i do to momus's "i really like the asian women."

Piggybacking a stay in Paris in late April as my wife has s work conference, it's going to be so great, I love this city.
Can anybody advise, I plan to visit/photograph as many of the lovely passages in central Paris as I can, but are they all worth visiting?

The spire was undergoing renovation so I wouldn't be surprised if it spread from there. It's tragic that such a thing could happen in spite of the painstaking precautions they no doubt took.

they've been doing work on the roof for a few weeks so this is probably connected to this.
I mean, a huge stone building is not just going to burn down. but the roof looks like it'll be gone. most of the top of the church, including the big spire, is only from the mid 19th century.
― L'assie (Euler), Monday, 15 April 2019 17:38 (seven years ago)
The building can and will probably be restored but there are a lot of irreplaceable artefacts in there. Hopefully it is just the roof and it looks worse than it is, but it looks extremely bad.

The entire framework is doomed, apparently. One side is from the 19th, the other from the 13th century. Fuck.

yes, the flèche came down about 15 minutes ago.

There is yet hope for the rest of the building (and the artworks therein). Much depends on the vault, apparently.

This is so horrific. I’ve been to Paris several times and saw the outside but didn’t go in - I always assumed it would be there to go back to. And now it’s probably gone forever if they can’t stop the fire soon.

they're now moving out the art that they can, and covering up the ones they can't, to protect from smoke damage
