  1. Oh, look! Another #pretentious "aesthetic" to slap on a t-shirt and call it #cultural #critique. 🤯 Apparently, we're all just wandering through a #digital wasteland with "liminalism" as our guide, because nothing screams #originality like rehashing old art movements for clicks. 🙄 #HotTake

  2. Hiljaisen viikon leppoisa lukusuositus klassisen musiikin ystäville vaihteeksi IEP:n puolelta,

    Musiikin filosofia ei ole lähelläkään kotikenttiäni, eikä teoriastakaan juuri hajua. Tuon artikkelin kanssa sain painia tosissani, vaikka on sujuvasti kirjoitettu ja Bazemore selvästi tuntee asiansa.

  3. any recommendations for modernist depictions of agriculture and food production?

    i've included some example images below.

    some keywords:
    * mechanized agriculture
    * industrial farming
    * industrial food production
    * farm as factory
    * farm modernization
    * chemical agriculture
    * green revolution

    i've got the following materials on my to-read list:

    * "every farm a factory: the industrial ideal in american agriculture" by deborah fitzgerald
    * Ch. 8 of "seeing like a state": "Taming Nature: An Agriculture of Legibility and Simplicity" by james c. scott
    * "Farming according to 'the laws of beauty': Aesthetics and agriculture" by david cooper (academia.edu/14380031/Farming_)
    * "the american technological sublime" by david nye (not sure if it has anything about agriculture specifically)
    * "the machine in the garden: technology and the pastoral" by leo marx (update: i've now skimmed this work and it seems to be concerned with an earlier era, not the high modernist period)

    if you're familiar with any written works looking at this kind of aesthetic specifically, i'd love to hear about it.

    also, if you have suggestions for archives (online or irl) that might have more materials like this, i'm all ears.

  4. So we started our #adventure of #Heavensward (#HW) in #FFXIV by exploring the #architecture of #Ishguard. The Foundation absolutely looks #desolate and the lack of players makes it seem abandoned, adding to the #aesthetics. The surrounding areas feel so vast and empty, adding such a nice charm.

  5. BTW i would like y’all to start speaking about #globalization as a #fascist American project.

    globalization is the worldwide normalization of American #corporatist #fascism.

    business suits are the new #nazi suits. the Silicon Valley aesthetics of khakis is the new #brownshirts. cop uniforms are the new #blackshirts.

    #aesthetics play a huge part in normalizing violence; especially state #violence.

  6. Peels are promising, lasers beckon, but really I'm reaching the point in my glow-up where there's not much more to add in my regimen. Golly.

  7. When I look at myself in the mirror or in my selfies, I don't even look like someone who'd have a normal job; I look more like an expensive escort. 🤔
