If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Join me and other TC folks as we process our current slide into societal collapse 🫠 ...but I promise it will be fun and we need spaces like this to be together to reflect and to see what's ahead. I can't wait!

In the 1950s, National Geographic wanted Kodachrome nature photography that really popped in print. One trick was to put foreground subjects (hikers, etc.) in bright colors; it was called the "red shirt school". Dick Lasher's Pinto makes this the greatest red shirt school photo of all time.

Mount St. Helens in 1980 @mountsthelens1980.bsky.social · 6d

Tomorrow, we will talk about this photo.

A red Ford Pinto hatchback angles across a narrow gravel forest service road, a blue enduro motorcycle on a rear hitch carrier. Tall firs frame the view. Beyond them, a towering ash cloud from a pyroclastic density flow billows skyward. Photo by Richard Kent Lasher, May 18, 1980.

Moisturizing daily with top quality skin lotion, not for me, but for the artisan who’ll one day make me into a table lamp.

Great article on the upcoming Dreamstate Cafe on 26th and Lyndale (the old Common Roots/Hi Flora space).

The article says "they're leasing the back of it to a yet-to-be-announced bookstore"—I'm hearing it will be Boneshaker's new location!

Coming Soon: Dreamstate Cafe in Uptown

Reverie's owners are bringing a new all-day, plant-based café to the former Common Roots and Hi Flora space on Lyndale Avenue.
