went outside to get some sunshine and work done on my laptop but ended up researching violet pollinators and learning that the greater fritillary's scientific name translates to "earth mother" and i'm so charmed by the whimsy of the world i simply can no longer work on my resume. if you'll excuse me

@sioltach this seems like something youd love <3

What is your favourite small, painfully human gesture?

and also if we can just:

[issela-santina]

repeating sioltach's words for emphasis:

we aren’t actually allowed to belong to the places we live

houses and entire towns are shells meant to be as plain as possible for the next renter, buyer, or investor

the more generic it is, the more consumers it can be sold to

and when you have a country whose biggest population doesn’t have a distinct sense of cultural identity it will be reflected and mass produced without much complaint

***

in short, capitalism wants a blank canvas in hopes that there will be an artist filling it in, and rejects every artist who wants to fill it in

Color has been disappearing from the world.

A new research group used machine learning to track color changes in common materials and items, below is their findings for all color changes over time, they used 7000+ items from the 1800s to now to determine color changes in the most common items.

Below are the colors of cars by year, notice how the majority of cars are grey, white, or black compared to twenty years ago.

These aren't data points, but they are comparisons between the 'modern' homes of the 70s and 80s compared to the modern homes of today.

Carpets have equally had the same treatment of grey added to them! The most common color of carpet is now grey or beige.

Even locations that used to scream with color for decades have now modernized to becoming boring minimalist (and I love minimalism) personality-less locations.

The world is becoming colorless, why?
