The weirdest part about this to me is how it sounds like it is virtually unchanged from *my* Titanic Experience at the Pacific Science Center … BACK IN 2001
For @flaminghydra.com, I wrote briefly about the most incredible (??) and certainly the most semiotically rich gift shop I've ever seen in my life: flaminghydra.com/discomfort-s...

I just stayed in one of these--you can get them as hotel rooms. It's extremely cool. sweetshotel.amsterdam

I’ll add: That line of thinking — that an open gangway is more dangerous — has never made sense to me. I’ve been stalked/harassed on the trains and in every case, I’d have felt *more* safe if I could have gotten the attention of an entire train rather than just my car bsky.app/profile/coop...
The thing about the average New Yorker’s objection to open gangway cars - that they’ll make the subway less safe because “bad people” can move between the cars - is that people already go between the cars all the time anyway. I’m tired of being held hostage in the city by people who are afraid of it

My husband and I are sleeping in shifts to take care of the baby, which means we both get 5-6 hours alone every day while the other is conked out in the bedroom.
This has resulted in us both leaning into the most comical, extreme versions of our own interests lol
