this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

This is so safe this is the safest I’ve ever felt good job mbta gold star
As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses

can't stop thinking about how the "convinced to return for one last job" trope is a kind of resurrection. digging up a restless corpse that maybe should have stayed buried.

Honestly though the Gregorian version of Boulevard of Broken Dreams still slaps, that is some PEAK emo right there

Music fads that all happened within a few years of each other during my childhood, for reasons I have yet to understand:

Specifically European techno

Music purposefully formulated for choreographed line dancing
That time Jewel tried to make yodeling happen

Sometimes I remember there was a time when we all had folders on our computers specifically to house reaction gifs
and I feel like a victorian explaining how penny candy used to work or something, even though this was like less than a decade ago

Some student work that really excites me :) earthenware basket sculpture made to look like welded rebar… The artist said she chose to painstakingly recreate rebar out of clay (using moldmaking) because she is an inexperienced metal worker but still wanted the look. She even developed a special glaze to perfectly mimic rust! Even if you inspect the piece extremely close you cannot tell that it isn’t actually just rusted steel!! When people asked her why she chose to make this she said she’s just inspired by things on the street and still doesn’t understand her subconscious, but really wanted to make it. Incredible and so genius!! Love love love this work with all my heart

Nothing like wolfing down dinner and logging into a meeting you're not really needed at only to find the person hosting is MIA
