My page here is pretty casual, I check in sometimes more and sometimes less often. It's about history and things I like from past decades, and I haven't posted much of anything private or directly political.

I used to think I was fairly centrist but the last couple of years have shown me I am very much not. And now we're just meant to stand by and go on like nothing is happening? When the world is falling into things I only read about in history books and saw in documentaries, and now it's happening in our own lifetime?

No, Minnesota is very far away from where I live, but it's on the frontline in all of this and now is when solidarity counts.

Modern Living Room, 1970.

Here we have the high-stakes world of 1962, where getting a haircut was apparently treated with the same level of secrecy as a Cold War interrogation. Nothing builds trust with your stylist quite like a sensory deprivation mask and a sharp pair of shears. Is it a bold new bouffant? Is it a beehive of questionable structural integrity? We won't know until the big reveal, but she seems surprisingly chill for someone who is currently trusting a man in a business suit to navigate her split ends while she’s legally blind. It’s the ultimate "trust the process" moment, brought to you by hairspray and sheer audacity.

Sourced from the February 1962 issue of Redbook.
