@spookyvania LOLL I don’t read Nick Land unfortunately I just didn’t know about the concept of the puerto rican day parade.. reading those words in my head just came in a rhythm so familiar
Just for posterity at the wine bar tonight the lady sitting beside us totally overheard us doing this and laughed at me but I turned out to have the right theories on how smells work and he was wrong. So yeah
@kisscoball I appreciate the change of tune on saying brandy is ethical! I hope you’re more educated now. they’re both mired in much controversy so I thought it was funny the irony of someone thinking they’re better for being in the same spot! Thanks for listening!
@kisscoball I’m sorry you’re uneducated on the topic but there’s a lot of easy resources on ethics with the fast fashion business model. specifically brandy, not to mention everything else they’ve been a part of. you weren’t in the line but it’s something you don’t know about obviously! Lol
@kisscoball Well.. you’re in a line to buy new mass market retail. You can say one brand is “better” but you as a consumer are doing the same thing. They don’t make brandy garments way more ethically it’s just a brand whose ethos is exclusivity so you’re sold on it being “different”
I lived in the building above Carlton for like four months but it was covid so I never actually got to just go downstairs and see a movie. and there were ants
@v0idgreen Depends what you were here for in the first place. I think a lot of the active community from back then who were lonely have now found other things, family, love, and if/when they come back they come back more as an observer, and they seem happier this way, do you disagree
I don’t think much online matters anymore. It used to but it doesn’t. Like it might never have actually but i needed it once, and then i got over it. That’s okay.
Paywalled but everyone has the ikea varmblixt. Because everyone follows the same interior inspo on instagram and pinterest. End of story. But i like the colors too. I love them. Enchanting. I remember all the blues and oranges in the building across my high school bedroom windows
“Sometime last year, my block in Crown Heights started turning orange,” writes Adriane Quinlan. “When the sun set, our windows burned in the apricot tones of the old sodium-vapor lamps.” The shift began with one window, but the spread was swift — up and down the block there were shades of marigold and poppy, Werther’s Butterscotch and Gatorade. From the West Village to Williamsburg, windows became filled with safety-vest orange.
“I bet there is a caveman-brain-related thing where it’s comforting to be in the glow of a fire,” says Dan Goedeker, a director of photography. “Orange is a resistance to the sterility of modern life,” speculates Quinlan’s neighbor Grace Ginsburg, who turns on her orange lamps when she’s done with a day’s work on backlit, bluish screens.
Quinlan observes how we’ve hit peak orange in our lighting: https://t.co/Q40I3qcORs
Okay the other thing is moorhens and herons and ibises without any binoculars. And the last thing is that I appreciate everyone and I love everything, which hasn’t changed. I’m lucky, as always. but also often more annoyed than i’ve ever been, because i suppose i’m older.
