Spent a lot of time lately in repurposed hundred+ year old former theaters and department stores in small towns and they never stop being dope as hell. The last two pics are the pneumatic tube system that ran from 5 floors to the credit office on the 4th.

This is why representation matters. This is why programs that support women in STEM (or any male dominated space) is important. I wish more men had this perspective and respect for their female peers.

And yes, it’s a real letter: www.today.com/today/amp/td...

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Archaeologist: The cup is a ritual object used in strange, esoteric ways by ancient people.

Indigenous person: The cup is the belonging of my ancestor and none of your business.

Isn't 'perilune' (meaning the point in a satellite's orbit closest to the Moon) a lovely word?

Additionally, it adds a new layer of meaning to 'periwinkle'.

Vote vivianite for the Blue Babe, a 36,000 year-old mummified Alaska steppe bison, preserved in the Interior permafrost since the Ice Age, named in honour of its blue skin due to vivianite & Paul Bunyan’s giant blue ox!
