I think Australia actually had the best answer to the question "what do we do with phone booths?"

In Australia anybody can make free calls from any phone booth, also most phone booths also provide wi-fi.

So many people benefit, in so many situations.

The free phone booths have been so popular and important that new(fancy) phone booths are being installed.

Making phone booths a free public utility 👍

Ripping them out in the assumption that everyone has access to a phone or internet 👎

Something just occurred to me (Mdzs). Wei Wuxian comments several times on Lan Wangji wearing white and associating it with funeral/mourning clothes. Lan Wangji is the loner goth kid who most people are afraid of. Granted, this is not a perfect one-to-one comparison, but it's so funny to think about. Especially because western culture would label Wei Wuxian as goth (wears black all the time, associates with death, born on Halloween). When looking at them during the Cloud Recesses Study arc, Lan Wangji would be seen as the dour, unapproachable, eerily quiet one who dresses in mourning whites, and is therefore (the equivalent of) goth. Wei Wuxian is the bubbly, sociable one who befriends him against all odds.

Me, every time WWX and LSZ are in a scene together: THAT'S YOUR BABY. THAT'S! YOUR! BABY!

Also every time I look at this the first 15 seconds of I bet on losing dogs starts playing in my head lmao.

I really like Ghost!WWX fics and I really want more fics where he lingers for a-yuan.

....Time to go re-read Ghosts Shouldn't by Shanastoryteller....

I got this while scrolling on instagram to try to convince me to join threads and I—

We did it. We finally saved her.

the world gets a lot easier when you learn to be wrong without getting pissed or doubling down. saying, ‘you’re right, that makes sense, I was misinformed, thanks for telling me’ instead of going to war over something your ego’s latched onto will save you time, energy, and the embarrassment of sounding like a whiny little bitch

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

🙃 There are some things Wei Wuxian would never say to his past self. That doesn't change the fact that they are things he needs to hear.

It's definitely not a one to one translation, and it's not that representative of the fic as a whole, but this was *heavily* inspired by a scene in yiqie's fic The flower that withers.

"beach episode" but the protagonists are trapped slowly suffocating in a cave as the tide rushes in. due to the nature of the overall narrative, this still comparatively counts as a low-stakes vacation
