Though to be fair, at the time, Western wasn’t actively manufacturing these objects. So the ad is truthful.

A 1950’s western electric advertisement, depicting, telephone equipment being raised into a newly constructed telephone exchange. Several curious people are looking on from a distance.

A close-up of text from the Western electric advertisement. The text reads as follows. “ Making telephone equipment for the Bell system is Western electric‘s job and has been for 68 years. We don’t make toasters or washing machines or electric ranges. We make telephone equipment. Good equipment that helps give you good service at low cost.”

Oh yeah, Western Electric? Tell me more about how you don’t make washing machines and toasters.

Yes please! I’ll be out of town but we are open on Sundays from 10-3. Feel free to drop by, give it to a docent and say “Sarah said to come and donate this” and it will get taken care of <3

Wish we could but right now we’ve got a good thing going with CottonBureau, and spinning up another merch relationship would be complicated.

I’m sorry it’s so damn expensive to buy a silly shirt :(

nobody talking about sacred machines is talking about telephony equipment and they ought to be, like all of this metal was directly connecting your ear to someone's gaping maw and into literal orbit and back while simultaneously handling hundreds more. and it sounds like this it's like a critter

Also, I know we haven't released any new videos in *ages*. I'm really sorry. I haven't stopped traveling since June. I've got a script written though, so filming should start soon.
