"You know, I really love artichoke hearts… I should really be more creative with my artichokes. I’m a strict vegetarian, but I make exceptions for sushi. It’s a whole ethical thing why I do it… I feel guilty for hurting fish."

NO REALLY, I LOVE OVERHEARING THE CONVERSATIONS OF MONEYED SO-CAL HIPSTERS.

THEY ARE SO SCINTILLATING AND FULL OF INSIGHT AND NOT DRIPPING WITH UNEXAMINED PRIVILEGE AT ALL.

tenderloingeographicsociety: “Writer Wallace Stegner talked of the West as having “boomers” and “stickers,” people who exploited a place and those who nested. Add to these today’s new high-rent locust—the “hoppers”—affluent global transients who swarm through on their career paths. The effect of this is a class of people who regard our locality as a temporary roost. Hoppers live a “lifestyle,” rather than a life in an actual physical place that makes demands on them. They don’t have to adjust to the land and climate, know the local history, or be touched by any of it. They can live in a generic high-rise with concierge service and enjoy a view that might as well be a hologram.”—Knute Berger, Pugetopolis

elisa365: It’s interesting to find old ads painted on the sides of buildings that have been long forgotten. This old Coca-Cola ad wasn’t painted over but was preserved because a building was built next to it. The building protected the bricks from the sun. That building has been demolished and we catch a glimpse into the past. Coca-Cola relieves fatigue for only $0.05!

stupendous-operatic-spectacle:

Cannot wait until peplums and high-low shirts and maxi dresses go out of style bc seriously fuck all the skinny bitches promoting this stuff who have literally rendered it impossible for me to wear anything currently in style bc i’m not flat chested with no hips

Body-snarking petite women isn’t cool.

If you want to get pissed at the fashion industry, or argue that there should be a broader range of trends to flatter all body types, then by all means do so.

But in the meanwhile, I’ll enjoy my “ruler-shaped size 2” figure, because that is how my body is built, and my existence is not some vast media conspiracy against fuller-figured women. Oh, and my peplums and maxis and high-low shirts, because I enjoy how they give me a more feminine silhouette. Thanks.
