Elliott Erwitt (American born France, b. 1928)

Guanajuato, Mexico, 1957

Gelatin silver print

Las momias de Guanajuato no fueron momificadas intencionalmente, como en algunas culturas antiguas, sino que el proceso de momificación ocurrió de manera natural debido a las condiciones únicas del suelo y el clima de Guanajuato. Cuando los cuerpos fueron exhumados, se descubrió que muchos de ellos estaban notablemente bien conservados.

You know what I'd like to see more of? People romanticizing making your life good in the cities and suburbs (as opposed to moving to the a rural area and having a farmstead).

Like, how cool is it that I can walk to the grocery store? That a library, a farmer's market, and a plant store are all a short bus ride away? How wonderful that I can engage with a community of gardeners, foragers, circus folk and more without having to drive half an hour or more each way? That should I need it, a hospital is less than 10 minutes away?

I think we could stand more imaginating about changing zoning codes so that more neighborhoods are mixed use, so we no longer have vast spreads of suburban houses with nary a grocery store or library. I would love to see more posts about how people are working to actively build community in their neighborhoods, building mutual support networks, and engaging in what's already there.

Are there down sides to living inside of city limits? Yes, of course. But there's downsides to rural living that get washed over, and more than half the population lives in suburbs or cities. So maybe we can do some daydreaming about how to make life here good?

tiktok is hell because their idea of rebelling against the status quo is "don't let the beauty industry and influencers tell you that you have to get botox at the age of 20, that's something you only have to start thinking about when you're 30"

"there's a guy in the walls" movies exist in a universe that I fucking WISH was real. imagine how easy it would be to install stuff in walls if the space behind a wall was not 3.5 inches/8.9 cm deep and I could get my whole self in there. of course that would mean a guy could get in there too, but what are the odds.

I've never been able to remember their username or find evidence for any of this again but back in the day on the cracked.com writing forum there was a user who lived in a dirt cave she dug under the roots of a tree. We knew this because she would post naked selfies in the dirt cave but we weren't sure how she was using the internet in there. Eventually she had to be banned because she'd just viciously trash other people's article pitches and all of her own pitches had to be rejected because they were all about the benefits of drinking your own piss.

God forbid women do anything
