nostalgia and screaming

Piet Mondrian, Broadway Boogie Woogie, 1942

“For the first time a subject is present, not by virtue of its absence, but actually present, though its appearance is torn away, and only the structure bared. The Modern City! Precise, rectangular, squared, whether seen from above below, or on the side; bright lights and sterilized life; Broadway, whites and blacks; and boogie-woogie; the underground music of the at once resigned and rebellious.Mondrian has left his white paradise, and entered the world.”

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

This is the funniest fucking thing, omg.

As someone born pre-1995, I can attest, so many women had no idea lesbianism was an option. This is damn near every female friend I had as a teen and below, and some of the lads-later-ladies as well tbh.
