giving your dash a little clean

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

[mackasaurussex]

Okay but…if someone wants to take me on a date to a Barnes and noble and get me dinner and a drink and then let me peruse the stacks like I’m not saying no. A sandwich, a beer, and 2-5 books on various topics I hope I’ll someday read about? Good night.

The Swedish equivalent of Blockbuster is now best known for its candy, snacks and sodas.

This is El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an old theatre turned bookstore in Buenos Aires:

The stage itself was turned into a cafe:

You can’t even begin to comprehend the massive amounts of money this place makes, despite the fact that they turned the theatre boxes into reading nooks like this:

I’ve literally spent days holed up in there reading books for free while also consuming massive amounts of coffee and pastries.

Adapt or die, people.

Break all medical patents they prevent advancement in medical science for the sake of monetary gain and greed

My sister, who I live with, thought she couldn't get the vaccine because she doesn't have insurance.

We're not really used to "free".... spread the word.

[thundergrace]

Okay, this does warrant further examination.

If it's only free with insurance then it's not free. What about people who are unemployed? What the fuck??? What about unhoused people, most of which don't have jobs (most, not all, fun fact: there are people making minimum wage and living in shelters)???

[thundergrace]

Okay sorry for the back and forth. This is on the CDC website. THE VACCINE IS FREE REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE STATUS

also if you don’t have a social security number and they ask you for one when you sign up (some forms do?), just put all zeroes to continue. i guess this was tripping up some folks so i saw that tip on twitter.

i found the zeroes trick works for other stuff in the sign up process - i don’t have a “group plan” number on my MassHealth but just dumping zeroes in let me continue on the CVS website when they said it was a required field.

The Screen, Room 103, Kyoto, Japan,

A carved circular light fixture in the wall creates a light like that of the full moon. By dimming down these lights, the moon changes from a full moon down to a crescent moon.

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!

The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!

This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!
