Happy Pride Month!

why does it feel so right to be editing 18th-century-horsegirl-romance-novel-cover-esque art to the dulcet tones and funky beats of Heart. Late 70s/early 80s pop rock seems to weirdly fit the aesthetic of 21st century woman imagining fantasy version of the past. Even the songs with too much Moog.

Maybe I'm just recalling the remnants of 70s horsegirl and rococcaine revival that were still floating around when I was but a baby.

Yes, and I still don't want my superiors to see that. For various reasons.

It's not "one event" per se but I'd methodically go through and murder all the major architectural modernists (and if needed, the Brutalists too). Gropius, Le Corbusier, etc. Everyone who created the narrative that ornamentation is a bad thing and good architecture should be discomforting or more "conceptual" than livable. Make a list and work through it until I see a major shift in subsequent architectural styles.

I think it would be a huge psychological benefit to society if the places we work and play and live were built to be human-scaled, inviting, and imitative of natural environments. Nature does not create sterile tidy boxes, humans are not evolved for these kinds of environments and it literally creates psychological stress. Roccocco, that byword for the height of artifice, was a more organic style than anything created by modernists. Using "natural materials" is not what matters, things should have curlicues and frills and unnecessary details. Our monkey brains need to feel like there are places to hide and sources of food and water close by, and that means complex organic shapes and textures and colors. Humans have been decorating with flowers and fruits for millennia for good reason!

Things are finally, slowly, starting to swing back to healthier architectural and design styles with biophilic design and various other postmodern approaches that are reacting to modernism, but I really think the damage done to our built environments and societies as a whole is incalculable.

sometimes I spend time socially with normal people and I'm reminded that "if you could go back in time to change one historical event, what would you do" is actually not a normal question, and when they're all like "idk I guess I'd kill hitler" nobody wants to talk about how little that would have done to suppress the rise of fascism in Germany

also nobody wants to talk about my plan to prevent the assassination of tsar alexander ii in 1881. they are for the most part not interested in the possible long term implications of a Russia that modernized before wwi

I think it would be cool, if one day a year, we all dressed like it was the 18th century. Tights, wigs, corsets, breeches, frocks, cravats, petticoats, huge dresses and belt buckle shoes. Just go way overboard.

Een meisje getekend door François Boucher

Een meisje getekend door François Boucher

Dit is het hoofd van een meisje getekend met zwart, rood en wit krijt op lichtbruin papier door de fransman François Boucher (1730-1770). Boucher was een typische Roccocco-schilder. Idyllische en weelderige schilderijen gebaseerd op klassieke thema’s, decoratieve allegorieën en pastotale scenes zijn typisch voor deze Franse meester. Hij werd gevierd om deze kunsten en was 1 van de meest…

Our studio revamp is still in progress! We’re trying to find that compromise between not looking like the place is crawling with disease and still keeping with our curious aesthetic. We want the studio to be a less horrific place for our podcast guests to venture in to! Can you spot the @goatvsfish balloon in the background (answer in following pictures) @goatvsfish was our first in studio guest!
