May 2013 Photos, pt. 2

There're a couple of shots of 22-year-old me below the cut. The leftmost is I think when Gender Fuckery properly began, although I wouldn't parse it for another 7 or 8 years. (That was what I wore during warm months, you see.)

oh my gosh??? our kitchen island broke during our move & we got tagged by a local graffiti artist! 😳

[img ID: a pile of wooden rubble consisting mostly of intact (but unassembled) boards, drawers, and cabinet doors. there are a few metal bars making up parts of a rack and handles, and some strips of silver duct tape are strewn about atop the mess. one unbroken, rectangular board has been propped up like a sign against the side of the pile and someone has tagged it with black spray paint in capital letters reading "NOT ART". /end ID]

the thing about wearing Victorian “feminine” summer clothing in the heat is that it feels like one of those Gothic posts

you are wearing six layers and long sleeves. you are aware of this. every inch of skin from neck to floor is covered.

you are no hotter than you would be wearing your usual sleeveless modern sundress

you ARE hot, to be clear. you’re sweating. you know this to be true. “my chemise probably smells pretty bad,” you think. “I should wash it later.” you ply your fan and idly twirl your parasol. you move into the shade

you are no hotter than you would be wearing your usual sleeveless modern sundress

an event guest comes up to you, sweating profusely in shorts and a t-shirt. “Aren’t you so hot in that?” he says, fanning himself. 

“well, yes, I’m hot,” you say, “but-”

“I can’t believe our ancestors dressed like that!” he says. he walks away

you open your water bottle and sip slowly. you really should feel hotter, you think. it seems fake. layers = heat, after all. that just makes sense. you are wearing six layers and long sleeves

you are no hotter than you would be wearing your usual sleeveless modern sundress

when people not from the GTA pronounce the second t in Toronto, it hurts me a little bit more every single time. little TO lesson for people not from the area: we say Turonno, Churonno, or Toronno. The hard second t is painful on the ears. Yes, that second t is there, but feel free to not put emphasis on it 😂

#the announcer for this Toronto and Boston PWHL game has never heard someone from Toronto say Toronto in his life lol #also gta stands for greater toronto area for those not in the know but now you are in the know!

Do any other areas have an equivalent of the Boston thing where divorced dads move up to New Hampshire. Like throughout my childhood I knew literally like 5 different kids whose divorced fathers moved to New Hampshire. Like idk where do the divorced dads of Philly or Chicago or whatever move to

#I'm sure part of it is Greater Boston being a HCOL area (though the housing market was notably better when I was growing up than it is now) #but still. interesting phenomenon

“These days, he lived in a tiny room above the St. Agnes rectory. The entire place had been built in the late seventeenth century and looked it."

ooohhh m*ggie why would you do this to me. not only is the oldest Catholic church in Virginia is from 1795, the late eighteenth century, but the colony of Virginia was founded by Anglicans with no0o0o0 interest in religious plurality until compelled by, like, the first amendment. idk about virginia but there's still cultural differences between catholic and protestant communities in MA (especially irish catholic and protestants!) which might have been really interesting to explore in lynch family mythology, assimilation, etc... but no.

Virginia has fewer than twenty extant pre-1700 structures, all in the eastern part of the state. Even if the structure were that old -- say, a first-period Protestant church later converted to a Catholic one; not common but not unthinkable, if not accurate to this setting -- any extant seventeenth-century structure would be listed as an historic property, probably as a national historic landmark, almost certainly maintained to a decent standard by a nonprofit trust and board. and not really on the market for a broke seventeen-year-old to rent out.

i truly love st. agnes as a setting but the only info she gives us about it RIPS me right out of there. move the setting for the whole series to massachusetts and we're good to go tho!

#im so sorry but this is who i am #i just can't suspend my disbelief about historic ecclesiastical preservation #adam is living the historic property caretaker dream #and summoning vines in the lead pipes #maybe that's part of his problem #st. agnes #the best thing about TDT: heartfelt emotional breakdowns in the greater boston metropolitan area 495 corridor! #this is why i almost never read fiction and instead reread abbot lowell cummings' seminal framed houses of the massachusetts bay colony #TRC

man

it really sucks to be reminded of how much i actually do like being active at night

#did a favor for a friend which involved driving around the greater boston area #and now i'm like oh right this is actually my natural state of being #that whole 'wake up at six am' thing is a box i've been forcing myself into for over fifteen years so that i can have health insurance #and actual living amounts of money
