inner monologue

[inner--monologue]

"Ok, you've followed me, but who the heck are you?" I am an old person with hyperfixations, such as:

Vintage and lost media

Historical fiction and its depiction in film and television

Possibly (?) neurodiverse youth fiction heroines (looking at you Anne, Jo, etc.)

Antiques

Anemoia

Retail architecture

Dead, living and resurrected malls

Resin crafting (with the right precautions!)

Putting on shows in barns

Print and film advertising

Cosplay, historic fashion design and construction, reenacting

Having a small place to be peaceful, be that a tiny home or a really nice bedroom/office.

Martha Stewart (because she warped my brain when I was 8)

Music production, recording, pop music history 1850's to 2020's

The way that TV filmed on magnetic tape in the 70's had Crazy Lens Flare.

LGBTQIA+ representation in vintage and historic media, because we've always been here.

Anime and Manga, mostly of the retro sort

Scanimate, 80's logos and TV/Studio identification animations.

70's-2K's toys, games, food, restaurants, etc.

The way buildings smell differently depending on the season

Dropout content (I remember when it was CollegeHumor because…I’VE BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME)

Doing Video Games Wrongly

To that end, being Etheirys' Worst Wario of Light

Unions

If you're chill with all of that, feel free to follow back.

Fingers crossed, this old dog will learn a new trick and pin this to the top of my page!

EACH ADDITION TO THIS POST MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD

[punkrorschach]

This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.

Basically by using big floaty things to round them all up and then scooping them out of the water.

[transheadcrab]

thank u. i hate it a little less but the horrible little man in my head is still screaming “BOG BODY BOG BODY BOG BODY”, but i appreciate the education,

[bomberqueen17]

oh here is a fun lil perspective on cranberry harvesting i never heard about anywhere else. the guy who owns the restaurant right down the road from the farm, who fries our chickens sometimes, is from Boston, with the strongest Boston accent ever, and in a former life before he started slinging reasonably priced barbeque and occasional organic chicken, he was a cranberry farmer.

His farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs. 

This was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. Now, you don’t just like flood the bog and then go around it in a boat or whatever. No, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such.

Well when you’re in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. Wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don’t like it, so they’re, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the water onto a tall thing.

So yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was “are you cool with spiders?”

“You’d be amazed,” he said to us, shaking his head a little, “how many guys would just straight lie. Like, you think I’m asking you that question to be cute? Nah man you’re gonna have like a hundred wolf spiders trying to climb your eyebrows, you gotta be chill, those wolf spiders are fellow employees. You really gotta be chill with spiders if you’re gonna work a cranberry harvest.”

Oscar-winning ‘Star Wars’ editor Marcia Lucas dies at 80

She was also part of the editing team for Martin Scorsese’s 1970s films “Taxi Driver,” “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” and “New York, New

Marcia Lucas was the editor on 1983’s "Return of the Jedi" and the pre-"Star Wars" George Lucas-directed films "THX 1138" and "American Graffiti."

She was also part of the editing team for director Martin Scorsese’s 1970s films "Taxi Driver," "Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore" and "New York, New York."

Marcia Lucas was often called the unsung hero of "Star Wars," the original film that after sequels, prequels and spinoffs has come to be known by its subtitle, "A New Hope."

She convinced husband George that he should have Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by Alec Guinness, in his light saber battle with Darth Vader and become a spirit guide to Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker.

And she had to make sense of the raw footage that could’ve been a mess in the wrong hands, including the climactic rebel attack on the Death Star.

"Her influence on film is indelible, but those who knew her best will remember the way she made life feel more vivid, more beautiful, more fun, and more full of love," a family statement said. "Her work was known for its emotional intelligence, rhythm, and humanity — a rare ability to find the truth of a scene and bring heart, momentum, and clarity to the screen."

I had a dream about Columbo at a drag show. This is what came from it.

[somewhere-south-of-neutral]

I'm waiting for him to explain to me how his newfound love of drag allowed him to prove I killed my business partner

thinking about diatoms again

[crabussy]

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

[crabussy]

I like them a lot. they produce up to half of all earth's oxygen. the air you breathe is thanks to sun-eating stars made of glass. and that's pretty cool.
