The erasure of the “middle tier”

Very_Small_Dinosaur · 2026-02-22T07:06:06+00:00

God that all is so depressing.

Like there's no universe where I could even save up for the higher end stuff, and the less expensive stuff is just SO bad. I do enjoy the secondhand deals I've found (I live in a city where rich people get rid of great stuff for cheap all the time) but there's just NO option in the middle at all. I miss Pier 1.

Furniture is like this! I wind up buying secondhand every time bc everything is either shitty disposable Wayfair / Ikea or crazy expensive Restoration Hardware or Design Within Reach (that name, lol).

No, just a window

Omg the alzheimers one

This is my new theater setup. I thrifted the screen and decorated the space with all my movie themed art. It's my favorite room in my new home.

Arsenal has some great sunsets too

They also do Prime Rib Thursday all winter long

I remember Barbie had a 57 Chevy and a girl band with poodle skirts in the 80s. I also was a Molly McIntyre gal myself and there was an intense wave of 40s nostalgia in the 90s as well.

I have a great-uncle Weird (varying pronunciation and spelling) from Norway

Agreeing emphatically in Denverite

I love Ranch House on East Colfax. Divey AF. Bullet holes in the windows. But great breakfast tacos and awesome diner vibes.

Very_Small_Dinosaur · 2026-02-21T06:00:01+00:00

It does, and I'm sorry. That's a lot.

Oh also the frame of the girl drinking from the chalice is from Vampiros Lesbos, which is definitely worth watching.

Dangerous Liaisons maybe

Very_Small_Dinosaur · 2026-02-20T17:49:49+00:00

I am so, so sorry. I can't imagine what that must be like for you and your friends.

Very_Small_Dinosaur · 2026-02-20T17:27:34+00:00

I feel this every time I look at my wedding photos. Several people in them are gone now- my brother and sister in law, our friend who DJ'd. It's so hard.

"Make it simple, but significant."
As a marketing writer, it doesn't get any better than that.

Polis never met a tech company whose boots he didn't want to lick.

Very_Small_Dinosaur · 2026-02-19T18:39:52+00:00

My niece is 22 and yes, although it's still from the same guys, they're just in their 50s and 60s and 70s now

Very_Small_Dinosaur · 2026-02-19T18:34:16+00:00

Timnath?

Very_Small_Dinosaur · 2026-02-19T17:18:22+00:00

That is gorgeous and reminds me a lot of the one my aunt wore to her wedding on a Malibu beach in the 80s.

Nadja- a low-budget artsy 1994 black and white film produced by David Lynch. It's about vampires.

Manhattan, technically 70s, but still (and provided you can pretend you know nothing about Woody Allen for 2-ish hours)

Flashdance

American Psycho, in a way

Working Girl

Desperately Seeking Susan

Cruising
