I saw this strip in a book as a kid, but not until coming across it again today did I understand the context of what we now celebrate as Mid-Century Modern Design but what in 1953, when this first appeared in newspapers, was simply called modern or contemporary furniture or, perhaps, just furniture.

Another wave photo - can't get enough of them.

I remember this one well as when I posted it on Twitter a few years ago it was retweeted by Janey Godley & it got over 2k likes (only time that's ever happened!). So thank you Janey (& for the wonderful poster you held up) 🥰

i have a system for predicting the deaths of new characters in the cold open of a british secret agent show from the 1960s-80s: if i think "oooh look at that gorgeous honker" there's a good chance he dies before the credits
looking for advice on how to find glasses that will fit correctly on my nose and all the advice is "how to find glasses that will make your big hooked nose less ugly"

I DON'T WANT MY NOSE TO LOOK SMALLER I JUST WANT MY GLASSES NOT TO SLIP DOWN UNTIL THEY HIT THE BUMP

the thing is that “keep posting, post everything, ignore the people from the community you claim to be defending who are telling you that your post does more harm than good” only feels like an important argument to make if posting about it is the only thing you ever intend to do for that community
Do you not understand that these kinds of things are INTENDED to traumatize. And by insisting everyone keeps posting them over and over you are literally doing their work for them?

Traumatizing the fuck out of people doesn’t help anyone either. Learn some fucking empathy.

I suppose I should make a first post. I was finally able to deactivate my account over at the nazi bar site, even though I never used it much anyway. But now I'm here and hoping I can find some of the folks I used to follow!
