technology does not necessarily possess a liberational quality. some technologies by design assume a fundamentally unequal context in order to be usefully deployed, and can only be appropriately serviced and maintained by a logistical and social operation that itself reproduces those inequalities. understanding such technologies as useful requires assuming the position, the goals, and the means of power.

I think if Astarion was real he'd like having you around

unfortunately i do fear that we'd have an extremely funny dynamic but he'd be too mean to integrate into my larger friend group. i'd get invited to dinner with the group chat and i'd text back that i'm hanging out with astarion and they'd tell me i can't bring him over. and that would be his fault.

Most retail spaces have their own style of music. It’s just the ambient background thing you don’t really notice that makes it feel more like a shop.

Let me tell you. The week that our speakers went out at the sex shop was unbearably excruciating

It turned from a laid back friendly vibe to fully horror esque. We were just trapped in a mausoleum of masturbation. Entombed with the silent judging gallery of dildos. Without a faint tinny version of Love Shack softening the retail space it was too brutally frank. The sex toys felt like they needed curtains.

Customers would walk in and freeze, arrested by the wall of uncomfortable silence. We’d apologize and they would furtively move as silently as they could. All questions were issued in a whisper.

This was in the days before everyone had music streaming in their pocket so it wasn’t until day three we finally scrounged up a boombox and got a radio station going. It was a weird vibe still but significantly better than the oppressive nothing we’d been enduring before.

There has never been as much rejoicing as when our speakers finally crackled back to life.

Curating the Anthropocene: “Imagine a future archeologist on a dig in what was once downtown Los Angeles, excavating, exposing layers of history, like the paleontologists at the La Brea Tar Pits are doing today, finding bones of saber-toothed cats, mammoth, and dire wolves. What does the archeologist of the future find?”
