cant stop thinkin about this comment on a joanna newsom video

We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.

Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.

Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.

When you're a kid you just take trees for granted. Then when you get to be an adult you realize that a fully mature tree cannot be created in an amount of time that fits in a convenient landscaping timeframe for love nor money nor all the powers of science. Then you realize that people are very very very cavalier about chopping them down

not dead!!!!

I love you speed limit cactus 🌵!

Anastasia Trusova — “Through The Walls”, 2020

Acrylic on linen (70 x 70 cm)

my friend and i have been losing our goddamn minds over the photography in this zillow listing and i feel the need to share it with you all too

the lighting??? the fog?? the atmosphere???

this shit is like high art and it's a ZILLOW LISTING . and that's not even all the photos!!! what the fuck!!!

Whenever I see someone refer to "Victorian era-" for places outside the UK I'm tempted to start saying shit like "Han Dynasty era Rome", "Soviet era Australia" etc

“Welcome to Soviet America, home of the McDonalds and Cocaine Cola. Long live Comrade Reagan.”

The Civil War, or as I like to call it, Late Tokugawa Period America

I know this is a joke but this helps me put a lot of historical periods into perspective.

"cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas"

there is a category 9 vibe shift occurring and everybody’s blogging like they don’t feel it

This is a worm? Or perhaps some sort of slug?

So it turns out I actually have to build the life I want to live

if you're in the throes of cosmic despair i cannot recommend museums enough. art or science or history it doesn't matter. oh we're all connected, all of us and everything, throughout all time and space, and no one, no one, no one is alone? awesome. that's what i thought i just wanted to make sure.

the fact that walls get dusty is ridiculous. you're vertical. act like it.

i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck

THE ORIGINAL? ON MY DASH

this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?

a buddy cop action movie but instead of an uptight public servant/street smart cool guy combo it’s about an anarchist and a leninist

i’m not very good at worldbuilding

this is what disco elysium is about

anyway. onto better things

I love fanfic’s tendency to put absurdly young people in jobs that they could not possibly have until their 40s or 50s. you can tell something has been written by a 14-year-old when a main character is like, 27 and a tenured professor at Brown. some lady is a conductor at 24. god bless.

#in fanfic u can buy a house on coffee shop wages even if u arent an astronaut by the ancient age of 22 #w fanfic anything is possible so jot that down (x)
