@maternalgroyp Girl you need to sleep train

some fun facts about me & sleep: -the longest stretch of sleep I’ve had since 2020 is a single 5 hour stretch and 9 nights I had a 4 hour stretch (yes I know it was 9 times because each one was a documented miracle) -newborn sleep stage is when I get the most sleep (3 hour chunks) -my babies all wake up every 30-90 minutes the entire night arouns 6/7 weeks and onward until at least 12mo. - I have virtually been waking up between 1-3 hours all night, every night, for almost 6 years STRAIGHT. does anyone else out there function on this amount of sleep? Does anyone else have babies that will not sleep longer than that? I’m completely exhausted but no one seems to have good sleeping advice other than leave them to cry. I don’t know what to do …all my other goals seem impossible while being in such a state of constant sleep deprivation.

@adgmodular @MarcusMilione Well said

There’s little point talking about taste because it is so unique to each individual. But it’s endlessly captivating to talk about because to build one’s own taste, and to have it validated by others, is to be seen and understood. It’s no wonder people want to find a shortcut to taste. But I don’t think that’s the point of building taste. It’s not a spectator sport. It’s about discovering yourself. It’s a deeply personal journey. If people stopped trying to find a hack or an algorithm or a prompt or a corner to cut and actually started building their own taste step by step and brick by brick, they’d discover an infinite game they can play for the rest of their lives. Taste cannot be taught, but it can be learned.

"Tasteslop" (seen this word pop up a few times now) is supposed to critique decontextualized status signaling and in turn it acts as a way for the "connoisseur" to announce that they, unlike the masses with their identical kettles, possess the relationship and not merely the reference It launders "snobbery" into media theory. The person calling "tasteslop" is doing the exact thing tasteslop describes... performing depth they may or may not have, for an audience that can't verify it either way The trouble with a relational definition of taste (like "tasteslop") is that it makes the accusation unfalsifiable If the same kettle can be tasteful, vulgar, camp, or slop depending entirely on "the social route by which it arrives," then tasteslop is a property of the arrival and any one object itself... which means you cant really ever settle whether any given thing qualifies by looking at it In turn you have to know how it got to you Since you (the viewer/consumer) has no real way of knowing that, the label collapses into a vibe This then almost always resolves the same way... it's slop when they have it, and a considered choice (or real taste) when I do So if the (kettle, Tabis, Togo etc) is contaminated by popularity, the " more tasteful" move is to not have the kettle and in turn... reach for the more obscure object, the one that hasn't been "posted" yet The problem isn't the objects themselves, and it isn't even really the algorithm We've completely outsourced the relationship to these objects and kept only the reference BECAUSE the reference is the part that photographs The machine (algo) doesn't know taste... it knows the gestures that have clustered around (the idea of) taste, and we've begun optimizing for the gestures because that's what gets seen You don't fix this by avoiding the kettle. You fix it by being able to answer why the kettle?

Sorry about the mean things i said when i was right

@_4L3X1 REAL. SAME

This being 100x more effective pronatalist propaganda than any pic of a baby I’ve ever seen. To me at least

@poptime Family goals

Atriz francesa Julie Depardieu e complsitor Philippe Katerine posam com seus 2 filhos no festival de Monte Carlo.

I’m seeing a lot of posts giving her credit for being a “savvy concubine” when I have yet to see a video clip of them together in which she doesn’t look like the help and his heir apparent is one of his kids with Grimes

@NerdeenKiswani Where is this banner? Need to commemorate it being the WC somehow for my four month old lol

Went on a walk in Brooklyn today and noticed hundreds of people wearing team jerseys for the World Cup. Really feels like the first day of it being in NYC (even though it’s actually in Jersey)

@s3ththompson Wowww

My favorite works will always be Hockney's colored pencil drawings. How anyone can evoke this richness and vibrancy with such an economy of line is beyond me.

A kinetic ceiling installation at Costa Navarino, Greece, designed by K-Studio for The Romanos resort, uses fabric panels that sway with sea breezes. The wave-like motion filters sunlight and enhancing natural airflow to keep the beachside restaurant cool.

@mishkaivana Wow what an original thought

Wearing popular designer name brands and wealth signaling has become completely cringe and lame to me. It’s almost embarrassing to have a “trendy” Dior bag because you just look like a sheep. A fit body and unique style is so much cooler than a fancy watch or trendy designer bag. I actually think the chicest & most attractive women are healthy and fit, barely wear makeup, and have a well crafted handbag from a brand you’ve probably never heard of.

GOOD MORNING NEW YORK CITY.

@Mdw37683404 @NYCMayor ALmfaooooo

@NYCMayor One second, this is how a mayor talks? I guess it's garbage in and garbage out. You would never hear the king of England talk that way. what a disgrace to New York! mayor zohran mamdani is a horrible role model.

SPEECHLESS. LFGK.

@kitvolta I was miserable

oh to be a skinny jobless rich girl who just wanders around soho all day

@MoiraDonegan Amsterdam 2015

There are lovers you forget and sandwiches that haunt you for the rest of your life.

Imflooencers talking about bloodlines like they’ve got a coat of arms or their family took part in the Crusades. It’s also stupid messaging. Talk of duty and owing…you and what army? Bereft of arguments to entice people to children, wankers like this slam their cane on floor

I Think a part of me will always be filled with hatred

@lewisf1driver She has amazing posture

Emily Blunt and John krasinski trying to say goodbye

"For half a century, American parents have tried to be exceptional individuals, contorting themselves into every possible shape to make the raising of children possible. They have saved, they have delayed, they have settled for smaller families in smaller homes. They have tried to survive under the strangest logic that the act of caring for others, of all things, should be seen as an individual pursuit or even indulgence. The help that is needed never seems to come: There is no amount of private exertion that can overcome public indifference."

@amwilson_opera I will not be watching this

Full beards were not sported by Regency gentlemen. Apparently they were only worn by the elderly, the poor and the insane and considered quite outlandish. However, I suspect this is not the only anachronism awaiting us from this production...

@Romy_Holland Anna is an amazing interviewer. Excited to listen

the story of how i met my fiancé and conceived my baby seems to be a point of perennial interest and confusion around here—i talk about the details on this podcast!
