alright so when I was a teenager I went to this bug-themed summer camp for socially stunted nerds and on the way back from it I visited the university of kentucky. I met with an entomologist there and while we were touring the department he asked "wanna see something cool?" so he took me down an elevator to what must've been a sub-sub-sub basement on a card-access only floor, and after turning several more corners we went through two sets of (I'm not even exaggerating) 12-inch thick doors, opening onto one long as fuck corridor. each side of this hallway was lined with about 50 refrigerators. and each and every single one of these refrigerators was filled with hundreds of thousands. of live. bedbugs. the very reasonable explanation for this was that they were doing research on insecticides and needed to test them on real samples, but they could not under any circumstances allow them to escape, so they had to be kept under area 51 levels of overkill containment. but reasonable or not that was very much not what I anticipated seeing that day. so yeah. I decided after that I did not want to become an entomologist
Sometimes you will be a lesbian to your parents and a straight man to your partners parents and a gay man to your partner and a woman to your grandparents and out to your friends and stealth to your classmates and a nice young lady to the cashier at the coffee shop and then people on your computer will ask you to choose which of these identities you ACTUALLY are and which you are Appropriating The Oppression Of because donāt you know they contradict each other. You can only be one thing solidly forever
Gahan Wilson (1930-2019)
Some cartoons from the above artist from ''Playboy'' culled from various issues published between 1975 to 1983. Wilson, for me, was a precursor to cartoonists like Gary Larson of 'The Far Side' fame (which I loved). His work often lived in the kind of weird territory Larson explored although Wilson was attentive to different details given his darker sense of humor. It makes sense that Wilson credited cartoonists like Charles Addams (the creator of 'The Addams Family') and writers like H. P. Lovecraft as influences. I'm pretty sure there are collections of his ''Playboy'' cartoons out there and a few children's books Wilson wrote. The world benefits from the existence of weird people doing their weird things. If you're weird and you're reading this, keep on being idiosyncratic.
What interesting architecture. One-of-a-kind 1991 home in Valley Center, CA designed by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg. 5bds, 4ba, 4,133sqft, reduced $300k to $2.695m (Zillow's est.: $2,604,500)
I know that there're glass walls, but it's so open.
Look at the unique fireplace going right through a glass ceiling.
Isn't this unique? It's the kitchen.
A completely round kitchen- round cabinets & walls.
Look at the way they pieced the countertops to fit the curves.
In addition to the kitchen table, there's a dining area over here.
The family room has a nice view and access to the terrace that surrounds the home.
Do you love the round walls?
The primary bedroom has stone walls and a matching fireplace.
It also has a desk area.
Even the ensuite is round. The tiles are a pretty color, too.
This bedroom also has stone walls, including a feature wall behind the bed, plus a desk and shelving.
Wow, it looks like that desk is wedged right in there.
This room has a little corner desk.
Such minimalism. Not even a few chairs on the deck. Looks like there's a built-in bench, though.
The house was also featured in "Architectural Digest."
