I'm a burnt out sociologist looking for good things in the world. This is a chronicle of things I find interesting, inspiring, troubling, helpful, and/or fun. If you've got a problem with identity, class, race, gender, queerness, or issues of progressive social justice, you can very nicely shove off, as I will not be putting up with ignorant bullshit. :)

Ukraine’s Got Talent winner creates art in sand

This is stunning: it’s the winning performance from Ukraine’s Got Talent. Kseniya Simonova, 24, shows what happened in the Ukraine during World War II when Germany invaded (the The Great Patriotic War), and she uses sand to do it. Sand. It really has to be seen to be believed.

Although it’s been on YouTube since June, I learned about it Friday night from Roger Ebert’s tweet, in which he called her “The Susan Boyle of sand animation.” It’s hard to disagree.

This is so moving!
