Don't think we talk enough about how absolutely deranged early 2010s video game marketing stunts were

Okay but get this… Imagine an AU of Twilight where Edward is a young millionaire and Bella is a new college graduate. Imagine if someone published that and it got, like, extremely popular. And then flash forward a few years later hundreds of copies of it are rotting in every used bookstore and Goodwill in America indefinitely

PORCO ROSSO (1992) dir. Hayao Miyazaki

I’ve covered many structure fires where a 80 year old building will burn for hours or rekindle repeatedly, while a house built in my life time is ashes and cinder in an hour.

someone in the notes on that “stop fetishizing old houses” post commented that builders before the 1970s were too concerned with elegance and grandeur, and that was all really just wastefulness

and I think about my apartment, a duplex from 1912, surely built for a middle- or working-class family. spartan, really; quite basic and no-frills. not much to look at from the outside. just like a thousand buildings of similar provenance in the Boston area.

there are flowers molded in the chunky, cast-iron radiators

there’s a design of concentric circles in the carved door-lintels

many buildings of this type have a little stained-glass window somewhere

 I think about ornate door hinges in the staff wing of a country estate from 1878.  think of patterned wallpaper in a mansion’s kitchen, from 1797. I think about purely functional spaces someone looked at and said, “this needs beauty”

the past was certainly guilty of waste in many ways. but I cannot call making a house more than just a box to live in one of them

Everyone always talks about flying cars this and flying cars that.

When the only futuristic gadget I want that doesn't exist yet when it SHOULD are those cup noodles from Cowboy bebop where you just pull the tag at the bottom of it and the noodles are instantly warmed.

where is the future I was promised?
