You’re meeting the friend of a friend for the first time, who’s apparently an empath. When they shake your hand, they immediately rip their hand away from you.

Teeth are bullshit. What do you mean you’re decaying. Get a fucking grip. You’re a bone now act like it. You don’t see my finger bones decaying from jerking it too much now do you

Discord has introduced microtransactions to make only specific users hear sound effects. Skype is back as a livestreaming platform. X is now marketing “twitter” as a paid-only private area to post in on X. There are clouds gathering above the field now. There’s an ache in your tooth when you eat something sweet, sharp and stabbing, but you put it off. The wind makes the puddles in the mud ripple after it rains. When you look out, you like to pretend they are deeper, deep enough to drown in. You wonder if you’d still be able to see just how big the cloud-heavy sky is as you fall beneath the surface. You wonder if you’d hear the first drops of rain. You wonder how the wind always seems to find you out there. The field is large, and it is cold outside. Come inside now. It’s getting late.

the weird thing is, when I view my job as some sort of background extra it becomes much more palatable. people go to a library and see me shelving a stack of books in my cardigan and glasses (now with glasses chain!) and they go "yeah, that's exactly right. that's how it's supposed to be in a library." and for some reason, that's comforting? the work is whatever, and the customers are customers, but sometimes it feels like I'm being paid just to make sure this places looks right, and I find that very fun.

One of the terracotta warriors was found almost perfectly preserved, with detailed footwear designed for grip, showing that people thought about practical shoe design over 2,200 years ago.
Each of the 8,000 clay warriors is unique, with no two exactly alike. After the tomb was finished around 210-209 BC, it was robbed and set on fire, causing the roof to collapse and destroy the warriors. All displayed warriors today have been carefully restored. Originally, these figures were vividly painted, but the colors faded quickly to exposure after being uncovered in the 1970s.
It is believed that the Terracotta Army, referring to the soldiers guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, looked like this when they were first crafted around 2200 years ago.
Freshly excavated 2000 yr old Terracotta Warriors still showing original color before rapid deterioration.
The warriors were made to protect the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China. The tomb, which remains unopened, is rumored to contain a replica of his empire, complete with a pearl-decorated ceiling resembling the night sky, rare treasures, and traps to deter thieves. Workers who built the tomb were reportedly buried with the emperor to keep its location secret.
