Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD for #InternationalWomensDay🧵 From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1
Two black and white photos of a soldier who has received a facial injury during World War I. In the first photo, his injuries are on display. In the second photo, he is wearing a facial prosthetic (mask) that covers his injuries.

On top of the abhorrent treatment of artists, the platform has become practically unusable. I tried to gather a list of the podcasts I follow and its not possible. It just shows an algorithmic stream you must sift through and it's mostly video recommendations.

There's a good episode of American Auto that satirizes this. A nationally-known serial killer is on the loose & driving one of the company's vehicles. They concoct a plan for tracking all cars. A banner will display on the back if the cops are ever looking for it. It's funny but kinda our reality.

In the heyday of Gak when I was a wee 90s kid we had a pet pig and no we did not live on a farm, we lived in a regular house in a city neighborhood but anyway the pig ate my Gak and we had to take it the vet. This is what I think of when I see Gak. Also the smell which I liked (the Gak, not the pig)

One of the cringiest things I ever did was when I was highly intoxicated at Jazz Fest and I ran into Jude Law (who I did not know in any way), like literally ran into him before a Raconteurs show and I slapped him on the back and said GREAT ACTOR. Every time I see his face I think about this.

I don't think it's possible to create any sort of classifieds without these guys. They are a staple. They are ingrained. They are the foundation. Also, if you want to pay to smell someone you should be clear about what the smell provider can expect you to be doing/wearing during the smelling...

When I was younger I tried wearing foundation for a while. The more often I wore it, the uglier I felt any time I took it off and didn't wear any. I relied on it more and more. My baseline changed. It skewed my self-perception (and also made my body dysmorphia worse), so I stopped wearing it at all.

And it can allll be rooted back to Intagram and Meta. The idea that you have to capture and dissect everything you create into short video snippets. The thing you're creating becomes a marketing exercise in and of itself. Podcasts became a marketing tool to generate content to appease the algorithms
