not to wade into the massachusetts lesbian bar Discourse but it simply must be possible to find a middle ground (or even like. a 30/70 ground) between "antimasker" and "if you don't wear a mask 24/7 you're literally evil"

man it sucks how much AI there is at Open Streets now (from the vendors, not the organizers). really makes it hard to enjoy one of my (former?) favorite events

Who is going to find time in their week this week to donate blood? The American Red Cross declared only its second ever national blood crisis in 145 years. There’s only a day’s worth of O+!

i do not truly have any hate in my heart for electric scooters However...i do think I would like them more if the people driving them were not somehow always wearing noise-cancelling headphones/lacking any spatial awareness

The only costumes I think really stood out as "bad" were Calypso's fit and the baggy shorts Odysseus was wearing under his beggar disguise lol. but like stuff like Agamemnon's armor looking Manufactured and Scary is actually kind of important to the scenes he shows up in 💀

i don't think every design necessarily works Perfectly but like. there is no adaptation of a Greek myth that doesn't reflect both contemporary anxieties and aesthetics, and that's as true for like, Euripides plays as it is for Jason and the Argonauts as it is for Nolan's Odyssey?

ellis 🪱 @mothdude.bsky.social · 23/07/2026
ok i am still feeling insane about the odyssey costume "historical inaccuracy/"looks like bulletproof vests" comments bc now that i've actually seen the movie like. is it not obvious that, especially with the armor, Nolan is drawing parallels to modern military technology/uniforms On Purpose??

looking at it closer ai was def involved at some point in any case, look how weird and mushy the logo is compared to the real one lmao. also i'm definitely just more critical of this stuff from arts orgs specifically 💀 just not a cute look
a logo of a bunch of swirling dots but they get weird and smudgy near the centerloring park arts fest logo

the ai clip art is so evil!! the flyer is maybe not 100% ai, but the style of the little icons + multiple fonts including a fake "hand-lettered" or cursive one is just such a red flag for me at this point 🙃
