  • the more i think about the preserving history mindset the harder it is to detach it from the reactionary tradition point.

    This is a shit source but i cbf finding anything better rn

    New housing for ‘new’ people

    In the majority of cases, the reconstruction of old aristocratic and merchant mansions, as well as tenement buildings, was necessary in order to modernize and adapt them to new functions. The first wave of these renovations took place in the 1920-1930s, when the newly established Soviet authorities urgently needed to resolve a housing shortage. They began putting additional stories on three- and four-story buildings that usually housed dormitories or administrative offices

    golf courses with their irrigation networks and open spaces can be so easily made into more usable parks and market gardens. I do hate golf, i do like old buildings

    something that’s really getting me at the moment is seeing the australian government destroy public housing infrastructure in the name of accessibility, using disabled people as a shield and a cudgel.

    Tear down Parliament, tear down the prime ministers residence.











  • Sorry I didnt see your other comment re you location.

    I dont mean to sound patronizing or slinging you a ‘just keep smiling buddy’ message, but it feels like youre in a pretty ruminating negative spiral, honestly I think collage or similar will still be good, it brings a change in routine, and you will make more connections with people. I met some really inspiring teachers, i have a couple of close friends from school. There’s silverlinings to be had.

    I think relating to the effort you feel was wasted, its more about what youve learnt, and will be able to do kore effectively next time than a spot in a school you dont fancy. When I was in school we still were able to hand write assignments, but I understand the computer access is a killer.

    Anyway sorry, I feel like I may seem like a pratt, I hope youre having a better day today.
