I'm going to a corporate expo, I'm wearing an llbean jacket, I have a ponytail, and I'm carrying a camera bag. I look like either a total douchebag or a lost A/V tech, possibly both

Im being forced to silo myself into blog post writing because every discord Im in is just APTA Expo Spoilers (Im going tomorrow)

The building itself is the HQ for TC industries, who succeeded the American Terra Cotta Co. By the time it was built in the 80s, they hadnt made terra cotta for about 20 years, and the museum wasn't put in until 5 or 6 years ago

When I went on WBEZ Reset in 2024 to talk about the Leave the Seat Empty photo project, I was asked about my favorite building I had documented prior to demolition. The one that came to mind was much like this - one that wasn't particularly notable, vernacular, scrambled by decades of modifications.

Hell House (2001) Follows the setup and performance of a 'hell house' run by Trinity Church of Cedar Hill, TX, which acts out sinful acts and their consequences to scare people into following the word of God in an alternative to a traditional haunted house.

A man stands stonefaced in front of a mic'd up drumset as he fires a revolver into a cardboard box being held by a man in a yellow shirt next to him

A woman with blonde, short hair leans over a thin man in a hospital gown laying on a hospital bed, as an actor in a black hooded robe and a skeleton mask leads over the top of the bed.

Two overlaid pieces of paper. The topmost page is titled "SCENE 13 "HELL" ", beneath it the other page is titled "SCENE 12 "HEAVEN'S GATE" "

for suburban planners of the 1950s and beyond, this would be an unparalleled vision of heaven.

believe this guy is a background actor for one of those "THE TRAIN" tiktoks as there was, among others, a banana, a pink cow, a hot dog, a space alien, and a rainbow afro'd doodlebob milling about on the sidewalk nearby.

oh I've been through the city on a horse with no name

A man in a purple shirt and a kid in a white shirt on a Lime scooter approach a man wearing jeans, a jean jacket, and a cowboy hat riding a horse on a grassy empty city lot with a large desire path running through it.

its really funny to me that out of all the Kill James Bond hosts, Abigail is probably the richest one by some measure, yet is the one who most consistently pirates every single movie they watch.

Cohost was special in so many ways. I feel that The Great Yinglet Disturbance of '24 could've only happened there.

a cohost user posts "i don't really know what a yinglet is bu i'm skeptical that one of their defining traits is that they type in their own accent"

Look for the grog in this terra cotta clay sample.

POV: it's the mid-1980s, your lucrative privately held industrial firm is in need of a new exurban HQ building, and you decide to get a little funky with it

big developments in the cheap thrifted e-reader space: USB-C kindles have officially been in circulation long enough to reach the 'dirt cheap at an estate sale' zone.

My other ride is a camelsaurus

Color photo of panel of white speckled terra cotta in the shade, depicting a creature with a camel-like head and neck, but with a hump that takes up the rest of the body and squat legs. Also ridges along back and curled tail. Dude is hauling a flat transport sled.

It's good, though I'll caution it's very depressing, and there are a few scenes that might warrant a warning, like some footage of a man being shot by police or a woman nonchalantly killing and dressing a rabbit.

way back when I was last on a documentary streak I'd upload little 4-panels, so let's restart that tradition...

Two women in sorta preppy outfits swing golf clubs in front of a large clubhouse

Two young kids stand on rough grass on a streetcorner, one in a green t-shirt, the other, younger, in a too-large blue jacket. Green shirt kid is captioned saying "Really rough times. I got thrown out of my house once"

A crowd of people surrounding an oversized replica of Money magazine burning in a barrel, captioned "don't ever let anybody tell you you live in the worst place in the country"

Two older men stand behind the counter of a gun store in front of racks of long guns, one with his hands clasped below the counter and the other with one hand resting on the counter. A shotgun rests on the glass counter. the caption reads "We usually tell them that probably their best protection for home..."

the (failed) Flint tourism official in the credits saying she was going to Tel Aviv in the credits just about made me have a manic breakdown in my computer chair, like come on man
