Speculative past

Futurist projects from the 20th Century - infrastructure, architecture, plattenbau. Mostly Black Sea coast, Caucasus and Central Asia. Using this as a scrapbook/reference collection for essays I want to write, so will definitely diverge from/post things only tertiary to it.

Emma Kimiläinen appreciation post (because the only result for her on Tumblr was a single shot of her car)

[bottaslicious]

fact: when she was teammates with marcus ericsson (i think it was karting? not sure) marcus had to drive behind her so he’d learn the lines.

Me, explaining Diddy Dirty Money's masterpiece 'Last Train To Paris' to Mr Speculativepast

Me: Anyway so that's the club song that kicks off the desperate chase across Europe that's primarily Diddy explaining, at length, what an emo fucklord he is

Mr Speculativepast: wait is fucklord a negative here?

Mr Speculativepast: because sometimes things are opposite in The Rap

Me: jesus fucking christ.

How Western travel bloggers/journalist write about the Balkans

And then I made my way to (insert Balkan country) and I discovered the greatest secret in Europe. This ancient land, so mysterious riddled with bloodshed and poverty is a gem waiting to be uncovered. COVERED BY THE CLOTH OF COMMUNISM now I have finally unveiled the deep ancient beauty of this land. This land is a riddle no one can solve. There are restaurants, and people!! dressed modern, and also people dressed ancient, and there are beaches and history and culture. Oh my. It’s so exciting. Since I have discovered this magical, mysterious place now we will all come here on our holidays! There is no war anymore! There are Muslims but they WEAR MODERN CLOTHES. Incredible. Such mix of East and West.
