the Brazilian Miku spin-off arts are funny in a way. for all the other nations across the world you have these elegant folk costumes they're putting Miku in, then as soon as you get to the UK and USA, it's all sports wear

Can't stop thinking about a poll I reblogged this morning where the answers implied that OP saw people in the recent past as either being: Farmers Therefore Poor or Anything Else Therefore Wealthy.

I'm trying to figure out where in the world that could be true because like my family have all lived in the same 140 square mile area for generations and there ain't been a farm here for them to work on for generations.

d20 mentopolis is great because it takes one of my favourite tropes (what if a city was a living creature) and puts it on its head (what if a living creature was operated by a city)

sometimes i feel so hopeless about the world. but then i drive up the hills on a chilly evening as the winters approach, stare down at my town and share a few cigarettes and a few joints with a friend over a cup of lemon chai while our 420 playlists alternate in the background and for a moment there my existence transcends the material.

for a moment there the world isn’t hopeless. i’m none of my social identities and contexts, i’m just a being and force of life flows freely through me. my friend and i don't exchange a word, occasionally smiling at each other. for a moment there i am happy, for a moment there, i find this world worth saving, and for a moment there, i know what being human really means.

Okay but like the thing is. So Nick and Alan, right? Nick is basically—like if you imagine Alan was Raised In A Society and like... was normal-ish? That's sorta Nick? Not really. But like.. okay it's really just that they're both the same. Specifically. Like with. Okay okay they're both pervy lil creeps who stalk their Person and are deeply weird and obsessive about it and also have Very Specific kinks, but also they sorta just try to act at least a little normal and vibe with their Person at first? They're both Aware of the concept of bonding and getting to know people before immediately proposing or whatever. But they're also both like one interaction away from kidnapping their Person. idk idk this made more sense in my head but like. Nick Herraras and Alan Orion are like the same type of yandere but in completely different situations.

Something I hate is that when I see people from school who go on summer m euro trips, they’ll post pictures of locals on balconies as if it’s meant to be a cool artsy but comes off looking they’re borderline zoo animals from the photographer’s perspective

Glorious ivory walls and towers

Tick(s) tox, clicks clocks

Think that they contain the power

Rip off, rest lofts

Yearning for anima

Inter species living

They play dead with capital demons

Animals carrying symbols of

Dead animals

Yearning for anima

Glorious ivory walls and towers

Time to open your gates and portals

"in what sense were [Çatal Hüyük's] men and women "urban"? ... They were not burdened by the anonymity and awesome sense of personal isolation that is the most characteristic trait of the modern urban dweller. In some sense, they were "protocitizens" of a highly articulated and richly textured community in which a high sense of collectivity, ... was integrated with the civic facts of politically defined rights and duties"

-Murray Bookchin

would love to study how public sex and public displays of affection have become fringe and frowned upon through public space becoming privatized and how the camera phone panopticon impacts the way we use public spaces. so excited to learn more about urban history through my research assistant position.

The fact that there are languages that exist right now that are dying is really depressing.
