man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that,it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.
Yes! This is it, this is my aesthetic. Sometimes I think my aesthetic is International Dirtbag Skate Punk, sometimes I think it’s Literally
Cayce Pollard, but actually it’s Giant Androgynous Stuffed Cat Sweater with Bedhead.
Would you believe that I used to think that I hated cherries? Because I didn’t like “cherry”-flavored things (lollipops, medicine, maraschinos)?
I remember the first time I ate a cherry like it was yesterday. It was the summer of 2005, I had just turned 21. That summer I worked painting dorms at my university. We were sitting outside, on the stairs, eating lunch, facing away from the parking lots, towards the woods. My coworker Matt offered me a cherry. I said I didn’t like cherries, he couldn’t believe it so he nagged me until I tried one.
I lost track of Matt shortly thereafter, but I’m still grateful that he got me to eat cherries.
I think a big problem with children’s games/toys/books/clothes/anything designed for children is that the designers don’t actually remember what it was like to be a child, they only observe children and make decisions based on what they see (or what parents want). But the guys who designed this cabin clearly remember what it was like to be a child, and that is why I love it so much.
I guess that now people will believe me when I say that spending a weekend in New York City and thinking you’ve seen the United States is like going shopping in Dubai and thinking you’ve seen the Middle East.
