Does anyone else have an list of 10-15 untouchable thoughts that if you let yourself remeber or think about them for even a second it’s excruciating or is this a me thing

i do not care if bedroom fairy lights are forever perceived as a twee millennial thing i can never go back. any light that is not striving to approximate the soft glow of candlelight does not belong in my bedroom
Recently discovered, fully by accident, that the trick to feeling like you have more time in the day is to actually do shit with the time that's there, which seems fake and wrong and it's frankly infuriating that it works >:|
This is picking up a bit so I thought I'd mention that, while this trick does work, it is regrettably the hardest fucking thing in the world to do :T
2025 is the year to get around to it. rub some dirt in the gaping wound of your heart and bare your teeth to your own life
The gelatin in film stock was made from the hide, bones, cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissue of calves (considered the very best), sheep (less desirable), and other animals who passed through the slaughterhouse. Six kilograms of bone went into a single kilogram of gelatin. Eventually, the demands of photographic industries generated so much need for animal byproducts that slaughterhouses became integrated into the photographic production chain. Controlling the supply chain became key to Kodak's success. In 1882, as Kodak began to grow as a company, widespread complaints of fogged and darkened plates stopped production. The crisis almost ruined Kodak financially and resulted in the company tightly monitoring the animal by-products used in gelatin. Decades later, a Kodak emulsion scientist discovered that cattle who consumed mustard seed metabolized a sulfuric substance, enhancing the light sensitivity of silver halides and enabling better film speeds. The poor-quality gelatin in 1882 was due to the lack of mustard seeds in the cows' diet. The head of research at Kodak, Dr. C. E. Kenneth Mees, concluded, "If cows didn't like mustard there wouldn't be any movies at all." By controlling the diet of cows who were used to make gelatin, Kodak ensured the quality of its film stock. As literary scholar Nicole Shukin reflects, there is a "transfer of life from animal body to technological media." The image comes alive through animal death, carried along by the work of ranchers, meatpackers, and Kodak production workers.

Not to be too fixated and obsessive but the graff game in this game is amazinggggg! And I know I'm not the first person to notice this but I wrote this post at like midnight because I was just so delighted okay?
This is the side of the r&d building out in the hinterlands of the beach, right? And there's a lot to unpack here generally but this is what got me:
Circled in red is Sous la promenade-la plage! which is 100% a reference to "Sous les pavés, la plage!" ("Under the paving stones, the beach!") which comes from the May 68 protests and strikes in France. Students started building barricades out of paving stones and discovered that the stones were set on a base of sand. "The slogan encapsulated the movement's views on urbanization and modern society both literally and metaphorically." ("Under the paving stones, the beach!" is also the epigraph for Inherent Vice which is why I even saw this in the first place and I was immediately like gasp!!!) The May 68 unrest had soooo many good slogans.
Also the classic Einstürzende Neubauten logo too lol (who, incidentally, have a song called "Stella Maris" but I digress). Still picking everything out of that one but it made me grin. You see this one as graffiti unto itself IRL--or at least you used to, sigh.
EMBROIDERED ‘PEACOCK FEATHER’ CAPE QING DYNASTY, LATE 19TH CENTURY
The long cape entirely constructed with layers of overlapping peacock feather shaped panels, each panel finely worked in satin stitch, the silk threads in tones of ivory, yellow and blue on the eye of the peacock feather, and the surround intricately worked in peacock feather filaments, with one cloth button on the collar and another near the waist, finished with Imperial yellow lining
