the death of capitalism
(sad to an extent as this means the rise of online shopping and erasure of third spaces but also fuck malls at the same time)

They're like the Goldilocks zone between a total lack of stimulus and the overload of modernity; and quite moving seeing the slight signs of decay in these monuments of antisepticness

a strange little wordpress site chronicling all of the businesses that have closed in my hometown, but it could really be about anyone's hometown. call me crazy but scrolling the posts is always a weirdly emotional experience... it's the failed promise of the american dream laid bare, a time capsule of suburban decay. it makes me wonder what it means for one guy to spend 15 years religiously documenting these closures.
some of the photos are just unbelievable. the "need money now?" shadow cast on the wall of an empty payday loan store. the desiccated plant still in it's pot at the dry cleaners (a sign that reads "fresh as a flower" barely visible in the background).
very heady stuff.

im home for the holidays and they have officially williamsburged my shit town. its all warby Parker fast casual salad vintage store. the place used to have character. unassuming, sure, but god damnit what the hell is wrong with that. im glad there's at least some mass art trying to call out the repulsive aesthetics and politics of npc hipseterdom that is legit ruining this country. pls, someone, anyone, make it stop.

i am a journalist for a local zine & i get to host my first interview today, interviewing a local music venue/kava bar
so insanely thrilled. adrenaline thru the roof. getting to learn about someone else, having a conversation with impressive people solely about them, being a listener. everyone should interview, even if itβs not for something published
