Bunkers, Vaults & Biospheres
YouTube video by Sarah Davis Baker Bunkers, Vaults & Biospheres

I've been thinking about this georgous georgous video essay from Sarah Davis Baker for days!!! As a defender of the tv adaptation of Silo, i was easily convinced but this is such a beautifully crafted deep-dive into bunkers and end-of-the-world-tech in popular culture.

panel one: an outstretched hand reached out to a cloud. caption reads “i want so much”. panel two: a crouched figure holds a small star below swirling clouds. caption reads “but can make so little”.

bringing back the mp3 player in 2025, because ethics and owning my music and no more streaming etc etc ... but also because I want to experience the thrill of pressing shuffle on the most chaotic catalogue of music taste known to mankind once more.

absolutely obsessed with the hennin worn by chappell roan at the grammys!

last year, she wore an escoffion to a grammys event — so i’m hoping this is a trend, & we’ll see her in a fabulous medieval headdress every year.

Me: can’t wait to tell everyone that I went to a film festival this weekend! Show off how cultured and cool I am!

Also me: please wait at least 3-5 business days before asking me about the movie(s) so I can process the way they may have profoundly changed me and my outlook on life.

Honestly have such respect for film writers who have to watch several movies a day during festival season. I watched exactly two films at the theatre this weekend and it took me a whole day to emotionally recuperate.

Eh vraiment si je vois passer des tweets en mode “C’eSt PaS biEn dE se REjoUiR de La MoRt de quelqu’un 😢😢” pour commenter la mort du vieux : niquez vous. C’est une merveilleuse nouvelle pour débuter 2025, un facho en moins, il en reste beaucoup trop mais c’est déjà ça de pris.

Reviving this thread, I watched the 2014's La Belle et la Bête, which really reminded me how two things can be true at the same time - I hated this so, so very much, and also, beautiful stunning costumes.
