In 1957, Walker Evans shot scenes of shops and street vendors on the Lower East Side for a Fortune magazine feature called "The Pitch Direct." These are some of the photos. All are from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

[I'M HERE IN NORTHERN LIBERTIES, PHILADELPHIA, JUST NORTH OF THE OLD CITY-- YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY SIGNED YET, WOULD DEPEND ON THE KIND OF EXPIATION-- TO CHECK OUT A JOINT THAT'S IN A BUILDING THAT SOME PEOPLE SAY WAS ONCE A PRODUCE MARKET--]

This is the fruit, vegetable, and meat market adjacent to the famous fish market in Catania, Sicily.  Notice in the third photo that they sell artichokes on the stem. The cores of the stems are said to be sweet and crunchy, but I didn’t have a chance to try them. The long, thin zucchini in the sixth photo were intriguing. 

I found it impossible to resist the nut brittle in the last photo. Unlike American peanut brittle, this has just enough candy to hold the nuts together. Pistachio brittle is the best and most popular.

Something I miss from earlier eras of the creative side of the internet was things just being unabashedly low-budget. Just all unashamedly amateur, unprofessional, ‘I don’t own a good camera but I have a story to tell you’, ‘I can’t afford a good mic but I have a song to sing for you,’ ‘I don’t have any kind of background in editing or lighting and I only just picked up this guitar last Tuesday but here’s an entire musical me and my friends wrote about our favourite book, we filmed it on a potato and put it up on YouTube in ten minute segments because we thought it was pretty funny.’

#everything felt so much less like Content then #and as someone who wants to share creative stuff online #it’s now incredibly daunting thinking about doing that bc #especially as a disabled person who can’t work full time #it feels almost impossible to extricate art from being Content #like there’s this immense pressure to produce things that could pass as professionally produced by a team of educated people #and to make smart decisions so that somehow eventually you can profit off your art #and instead of it being a ‘hey look at my silly little song’ it becomes #competing in an over saturated market already dominated by the nepotism afforded by wealth and connections #and it feels like it would very difficult not to measure my personal satisfaction with how a certain piece of art turned out #by how much attention it got online #even though I genuinely have zero desire to be famous and it sounds like a complete nightmare #anyway I’m gonna have ice cream for dinner how about you guys #hmp42

The deeply moralist tone that a lot of discussions about media representation take on here are primarily neoliberal before they are anything else. Like the shouting matches people get into about “purity culture” “pro/anti” etc nonsense (even if I think it’s true that some people have a deeply christian worldview about what art ought to say and represent about the world) are downstream of the basic neoliberal assumption that we can and must educate the public by being consumers in a market. “Bad representation” is often framed as a writer’s/developer’s/director’s/etc’s failure to properly educate their audience, or to educate them the wrong way with bad information about the world (which will compel their audience to act, behave, internalise or otherwise believe these bad representations about some social issue). Likewise, to “consume” or give money to a piece of media with Bad Representation is to legitimate and make stronger these bad representations in the world, an act which will cause more people to believe or internalise bad things about themselves or other people. And at the heart of both of those claims is, again, the assumption that mass public education should be undertaken by artists in a private market, who are responsible for creating moral fables and political allegories that they will instil in their audiences by selling it to them. These conversations often become pure nonsense if you don’t accept that the moral and political education of the world should be directed by like, studio executives or tv actors or authors on twitter. There is no horizon of possibility being imagined beyond purchasing, as an individual consumer in a market, your way into good beliefs about the world, instilled in you by Media Product 

#just saw a very stupid post. but I will endure #these discussions also remind me of anti-vaxxer discourse #which in North America for Covid is framed as simply wanting to make the best informed choice as a consumer in a market* #ideas about public goods or civic responsibility towards others are incompatible with this consumer-citizen view of the world #like legitimately the idea of the consumer as the base civic unit of north american society is catastrophic for public health #and produces these interminable discourses about ‘media consumption’ #which itself is a neoliberal framing! I think ‘media’ as a catchall term is neoliberal because it links all art with the commonality of #being a good sold in a market #*outside of outright fascist anti-vax beliefs I should say. Although from my research so far these things seem to overlap heavily lol #which is not surprising but the distinction is worth teasing out #.txt

"We need more weird art" you can't even handle musicals because the story is told through music and dance

#there's quite a lot of talk in musical discussion spaces about the new trend for movie producers and marketing teams to make a movie #adaptation of a musical (that was done on stage) or even directly an original musical movie and market it as if it's not musical #because they've seen that people won't go watch musicals if they know they're musicals because general idea is that it's too weird #and the numbers are showing that this marketing trend works. they're selling so many more tickets by hiding that it's a musical. and having #many people in the audience find out it is once the movie has started! #so some musical fans don't go because they might not even have realised that was a musical and the people who go might not like it #sure there will be people who are close minded and wouldn't have gone to see a musical but once they're there will enjoy it. but other won' #I hope they make polls of audience satisfaction not only tickets sold. i want to know more. #��� #musicals #broadway

i hate you 6 episodes long seasons, i hate you shock value plot twists that don’t make an ounce of sense, i hate you incosistent characterizations, i hate you inexistent character dynamics, i hate you shallow and rushed plots, i hate you  bidimensional protagonists. i love you diversified and well explored storylines, i love you valued characterization, i love you world building, i love you actions/consequences dichotomy, i love you engaging relationships that aren’t exclusively romantic.

#ari.txt #text #i'm in a mood tonight #thinking of the state of tv shows cause of the worsening capitalistic market #where everything has to be as fast and as easily digestible as possible #with zero quality in mind #so they can produce more and more #and sell it for billions no matter how abysmal the story is #the capitalistic market from hell

Fun Tank fact!!

Tank has a lot of ‘ sweet grandchild ‘ energy with a lot of the mom and pops shops around town, if you bring him to a farmers market they will be crowed by older people talking to them like Tank is their own

#my sweet baby #you are sweet and the old people can tell #tank coming back home to Chrissy with free produce blinking #Chrissy: oh hey! I didn’t even text you about that #Tank: no you did not #Chrissy: then??? #tank: the nice old couple at the farmers market #latenightsleeper #redacted audio #redacted asmr #sleep speaks #redactedverse #redacted darlin #redacted tank #redacted asmr darlin #tank fact

Also people want to say all Taylor Swift cares about is making money.. the kpop industry literally only exists to make money. These groups are created out of people that half the time couldn’t give less of a shit about each other. They crank out music and stuff for people to buy multiple times a month. That’s all it’s for. It’s for making money. At least Taylor or any other non kpop artist are trying to tell some stories about their lives. It just feels like a more honest way to consume music if you get my meaning.

girl 😭😭😭😭 any industry is about making money 😭😭 also honest way to consume music??? wtf does that even mean 😭😭😭 and not the bullshit western artist aren't manufactured they have real artistic integrity and authenticity argument on top of all of that 😭😭😭

#asks #anyway #mark lee rapping about buffalo wings over pure NOISE is realer than anything the american music market produced over the last decade

Among the most fantastical of the worldbuilding details Ward posits is a universe where board games characters are equally likely to be marketed as video game characters. Oh brave new world that has such tabletop IP in't.

#leo reads ward #ward 7.6 #wildbow #parahumans #it does make sense in a world where theres probably a lot less consoles being produced #now the question is does board game character mean like a licenced character from a ttrpg setting like Drizzt #or is this like. the Monopoly Man #best case scenario they just start using AP characters for guerilla marketing and Vicky's looking at a cardboard cutout of Harvey D. Godlov #y'know what in that case maybe living in parahumansverse wouldn't be so bad #leo says
