wait wait okay I have discovered people visiting the US for the first time and treating Yellow School Bus like a celebrity sighting and this is so pure and great. Yellow School Bus like in the movies is real.

[brehaaorgana]

Love this for them

[brehaaorgana]

This just made me remember I am personally such a huge fan of big yellow school bus that I wore a school bus tote bag I used as a backpack in jr high/high school.

I found photos of the same bag as the one I had:

we should start making a ton of yellow schoolbus merch like how if you go to England half the tourist souvenirs are a double decker red bus or a red phone booth.

[post-it-free]

A friend of mine who was studying abroad in London had people ask her "do Americans really drink out of those red plastic cups, like in the movies?" "...you mean solo cups?" "Oh my god they're real!!!"

I'm glad yellow school bus is getting respect on her name

[brehaaorgana]

yessss

Also!!! dead serious: red solo cups are an iconic design

Top iconic American cup designs imo:

1. NYC coffee cup "the anthora" designed by Czech Holocaust survivor Leslie Buck:

2. 90's paper Jazz cup (designed by Gina Ekiss) [side note: I incorrectly sometimes call these Dixie cups, but Dixie is a different brand, lol. There are lots of memorable Dixie cup designs, but none as enduring of visually memorable as the 90's Jazz.)

3. Red Solo Cup designed by Robert Leo Hulseman

I think runners up would be a coke cup (the red & white logo paper cup aka a "movie theater cup"), the red clear plastic cup, or the bottle green coke fountain glass) or perhaps a Starbucks or Dunkin design.

However, I would say they're runners up because:

A) they're drink brand specific

and b) the issue with the Starbucks cup is that it has had a lot of small redesigns, and it's almost more iconic as a generic green & white circle to avoid copyright as opposed to the actual cup itself.

Like yes, there are design variants/copies of the genuine anthora cup, and the red solo cup has had some shape updates, but the designs themselves have been very stable and are more iconic as a result.

Also c) none of those other designs are so famous that they have their own Wikipedia pages. Technically the red solo cup design doesn't have its own wiki page, but it's obviously the feature of the solo cup company wiki page, and of the Red Solo Cup song page. The Jazz design and the Anthora design have their own dedicated entries.

I think a big part of the reason Pokopia is hitting so hard for so many people is that we have had an absolute glut of post apocalyptic media that take the "humans are the monsters/disease/problem" angle. Even the most well meaning solar-punk I can think of often have this undercurrent of 'humanity's nature is inherently short sighted and exploitive and they must constantly be kept in check to protect the environment' which slides very quickly into 'the world would be better off without humans in it to complicate and threaten things'.

But Pokopia fully does not do that. The world is lonely without humans and lesser for humanity's absence. So much of the game is about how Pokemon miss humans and are struggling to make sense of a world without us, how the ecosystem is just as hurt by our absence as any other species, and how the things we left behind, even in ruins and burned shells, are often beautiful and strange and helpful to the Pokemon who find them.

Pokemon have always been this allegory for the natural world- back to the original idea of the games inspired by children who caught bugs and kept ant farms- and thus the relationship between Pokemon and humans becomes this allegory for the relationship between nature and humans. And Pokopia looks you dead in the eye and says "the world would be poorer without humans, and if we all vanished tomorrow the echoes of who we are and the things we did would still ring out for eons uncountable. We would be missed and mourned and searched for and the wound of our absence would be deeply felt on this earth for the rest of its turning. The actions of a few greedy short sighted humans will never change that."

And that. That hits.

It doesn’t look that exciting, but this linen is from the New Kingdom (ca. 1492–1473 B.C.)

Thinking about it for too long makes me feel absolutely insane.

[manticoreimaginary]

The description on The Met includes the line ‘The cloth was repaired and laundered in ancient times’ and that also makes me feel light-headed.

It’s so beautiful and so simple and so so old

"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.

the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.

this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.

therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:

- being a cow

- being an almond

- being a woman

- being a coconut

- being in the omegaverse

- being an oat

(list is exemplary and not finite)

in this essay, i will redefine the nuclear family and explain the seductive and inflammatory nature of the 1993 "Got Milk?" commercials.

I cant go to my local libary anymore because last year when I stopped by a librarian was reading a book I wrote under a pen name years ago. This book sold under 10k copies and I've literally only heard people talk about this book online *if* I went looking for it so I went up to them and tried to start a conversation like "oh hey I've heard of that book is it good?" Like hoping for some real feedback and she goes "yeah I love reading things by queer writers" and in a moment of terror I was like "oh but- hold on, I thought the author was some old hetero white guy?!" A thing I thought because I used my own dead grandpa's picture for the author pic because grandpa never had internet. I fake looked it up and was like "yeah if he was queer its not public?" And without looking up this absolute unit goes "oh the author bio is obviously fake. I'd bet my left leg the author is a west coast millennial non-binary queer who has never lived on the east coast." And then proceeded to rattle off a dozen linguistic flourishes that are specfic to the pacific northwest that are in the book and several that are nearly ubiquitous in the state where I said my pen name lives that are somehow completely absent from the book.

So you know. Got read for fifth and didn't even find out if she liked it.
