SO THIS IS WHAT WAS GOING ON

I catch the train home from work in Union Square and yesterday there were so many cops I would have thought someone got murdered in the park if it weren't for the fact that there were almost as many Department of Sanitation vehicles, including like five street sweepers all trying to clear away trash, which seemed like an odd thing to do if there had been a murder.

Glad to hear it was just *checks notes* a Twitch streamer I've never heard of inciting a riot by accident. That...I mean, that...

Well anyway, it explains why there were like 50 NYPD officers standing around while Dept. of Sanitation did useful stuff and forcing me to go two blocks out of my way to get to the subway.

Every day I learn about a new Twitch Guy I've never heard of before in my life who is apparently the Most Popular Man Ever and capable of creating minor sociological phenomenon at a whim

Aleksandra Kasuba: The Live-In Environment (1971)

The intent was to abolish the 90 degree angle and introduce a variety of spatial experiences without imitating nature. The environment was built in the artist's studio in a brownstone in New York City.

So you know how in the show, Annabeth is a black girl? Annabeth in the books is always mentioned to not be very careful of her appearance. She has curly blonde hair that she never really takes much care of and stuff, for instance. But in the show, she has really nice braids, etc. Now mind you, annabeth ran away from home when she was 7 years old, and her stepmom is Asian in the books and canonically wasn’t the most caring to annabeth for the years they spent together. This means, to me, that show-Annabeth never had anybody to teach her how to do her hair. She gets to camp half blood at 7 little years of age and is obliviously running around with a messy head of hair that she has no idea (and also probably doesn’t really care) how to take care of. My headcanon is that some black girl from the Aphrodite cabin saw her and was like “not on my watch” and took it upon herself to both braid annabeth’s hair and to teach her how to do it herself.

I also like to think Percy 100% learns how to braid hair just for Annabeth. And she doesn’t even know it because it happens during some school year. He stepped inside a braiding salon a couple of blocks from his apartment one day and was like “hi, sorry to bother, I wanna learn how to braid my friends hair” and the ladies at the salon where enchanted with this weird kid who came out of nowhere and who would NOT stop yapping about this cute black girl at summer camp who he absolutely was in love with but none of the ladies had the heart to tell him that because he seemed oblivious to his own feelings. So they taught him for free as long as he helped around the salon. And then one day at camp, he goes to get her at the athena cabin and Annabeth is sitting in her bed with a couple of mirror and a cloud of hair all around her and Percy’s like “need a hand?” And Annabeth’s like “as if you could help, seaweed brain” and percy just goes “is that a challenge?” And he helps her part her hair which can be a pain to do by yourself and then they both sit on her bed for hours doing knotless braids (Annabeth was wholly unconvinced he knew how to do them until he started working on a section of hair and it was all she could do to not hang her mouth open in surprise). Percy wasn’t quite as fast as annabeth had gotten after so many years of doing her own hair, but with his help it took half the time it would’ve taken her alone. The other kids of the athena cabin would stare at them from the door of the cabin and proceed to hightail it out of there. The amount of gossip going around camp that day was astronomical. But the two of them were oblivious in their little hyperfixated adhd bubble. After that it became tradition, as long as he could, Percy would help Annabeth braid her hair.
