As that freshman, I went to my first high school graduation tonight. So this is ¼ right? To think I’m a quarter of the way to what these girls have achieved is a crazy concept even to grasp. When I look at seniors in general, they are straight up terrifying UPDATE: I graduate in 26 days! I guess we are almost at 4/4! These 4 years ended up being completely different than I ever would have imagined! It’s bitter sweet to think that I will not be graduating in maroon and white. A part of my still thinks I am and there are lots of things that I’m still trying to explain to myself. Green and Blue isn’t the worst to graduate in but to think that I can’t even go and see my friends graduate in maroon and white breaks my heart!

Places where reality is a bit altered:

• any target • churches in texas • abandoned 7/11’s • your bedroom at 5 am • hospitals at midnight • warehouses that smell like dust • lighthouses with lights that don’t work anymore • empty parking lots • ponds and lakes in suburban neighborhoods • rooftops in the early morning • inside a dark cabinet

I just got the weirdest feeling I swear

[the-crepes-of-wrath]

OK LISTEN THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS!!!

A lot of these places are called liminal spaces - which means they are throughways from one space to the next. Places like rest stops, stairwells, trains, parking lots, waiting rooms, airports feel weird when you’re in them because their existence is not about themselves, but the things before and after them. They have no definitive place outside of their relationship to the spaces you are coming from and going to. Reality feels altered here because we’re not really supposed to be in them for a long time for think about them as their own entities, and when we do they seem odd and out of place.

The other spaces feel weird because our brains are hard-wired for context - we like things to belong to a certain place and time and when we experience those things outside of the context our brains have developed for them, our brains are like NOPE SHIT THIS ISN’T RIGHT GET OUT ABORT ABORT. Schools not in session, empty museums, being awake when other people are asleep - all these things and spaces feel weird because our brain is like “I already have a context for this space and this is not it so it must be dangerous.” Our rational understanding can sometimes override that immediate “danger” impulse but we’re still left with a feeling of wariness and unease. 

Listen I am very passionate about liminal spaces they are fascinating stuff or perhaps I am merely a nerd. 

[sp1ne-sh0t]

I, for one, appreciate your passion for liminal spaces and thank you for explaining it to the rest of us.

Okay, I love everything about this, but is anyone gonna talk about why Target is on the list? I’m not saying it doesn’t belong there, I’m just wondering. Since it’s neither a  liminal space nor a place out of context.

Come on, Science Side. Science me.

[autisticharrywells]

Something’s just OFF about Target. Idk if it’s the lighting, the layout, maybe they have infra sound playing over the speakers at all times…
