I keep forgetting to take screenshots, but I've been watching Detroiters and there are a lot of really good selectric shots so you can look forward to seeing some of those eventually when I get around to it

we've been sitting around fires enjoying fires longer than there's been humans whoever's saying a campfire is a weird or bad smell needs to go outside

[3liza]

they can't go outside. what if someone has recently cut their grass and the universally-abhorred "bad/weird smell" of fresh vegetation overwhelms them (?)

[nicolae-carpathia]

i don't like the smell of fresh-cut grass but that's because i associate it with a youth spent sneezing my head off until we found an antihistamine that worked at all

[3liza]

real talk, one of the most interesting realizations I've had as an adult is this kind of thing. MOST of my "dislikes" of certain substances are actually allergies. I don't think that's always true, but it is true so often I think it should be more widely known

the newest addition to my collection is a stenograph! I have always wanted one of these, but that hasn't stopped me from never actually looking up how to use it...
