there was a period of a few days where I could read like 20 pages or so but now? I’ve taken a month off of work already. I’m staying with my family so that they can take care of me. I feel literally insane. I feel fucking insane

I really resent the brand-ification // creative agency-ification of outdoorsy-ness.

Eg this launch of Usal's presence in northern california, which brings nature cleanups, birdwatching, bikepacking, visible mending, etc etc all into play as elements of a brand aesthetic and lifestyle package.

Instagram post showing a lineup of events hosted by Usal in Northern California in October and November. The text appears over a background image of a rocky coastline. The event listings are:
DEADBEAT EARTH SWEEP
USAL SF OPENING PARTY
SUN PRINTING WORKSHOP
TRAIL RUN
- GOLDEN GATE PARK
SOUND FORAGING
- SAN FRANCISCO
LONG SLOW DAYS BIKE RIDE
VISIBLE MENDING WORKSHOP
SEAWEED & KELP IDENTIFICATION & HARVEST
MARIN COUNTY BIKEPACKING TRIP

One big turning point in bubble markets is when actors begin to realize they are in a bubble, but don't really change their behavior as opposed to accelerate their efforts to beat the popping. The 2008 condo bubble is a perfect example. (1/3)

in retrospect highly offensive to actual child abuse victims to have hundreds of theater kids being like “here are my alters…all 13 members of organization XIII”

everyone refers to 2014 tumblr as a kind of catch-all for furry drama and neopronouns etc but when I was on there the real drama was like Sasuke otherkin and picrew teenagers pretending to have dissociative identity disorder

I love them both but Travis and Patrick look like they’re running a traveling medicine show in the Great Depression

Travis Kelce, wearing a newsies hat and a shirt that seems to be pattered on a motels wallpaper, and Patrick Mahomes, wearing a red checkered vest made out of an Italian restaurants tablecloth

McMansion, Burbank, Illinois. @katewagner.wehwalt.net It's so bad.

Terrible McMansion with a huge, gable-roofed garage of brown brick as the main focus on the front along with a fake stone tower with a conical roof next to it. The house itself is barely visible.
