A friend of mine collects beautiful midcentury Majestic lamps. They've become too pricey for me but I was still inspired to to set up an ebay search after visiting him. Anyway this popped up and it is not actually a Majestic but it's really weird! It's a lamp -- but also a planter!

An amazing mid-century kitsch resin floor lamp built into a faux potted plant! My favorite detail on this lamp is the three-way switch being built into the bed of the planter. The piece is in good con...

I'll start! I'm Carmine, your favorite Eldritch Vodka Aunt, and I'll be your hostess today. I'm a rabid lesbian who likes midcentury aesthetics and dead stuff, and I draw a grab bag of pinup and noir, TTRPG portraits, and awful women doing hot girl shit. 🖤💀❤️ NSFW flag is for pinups. ✨

OC, Victoria Sweet Digital artwork in gold, pink, and red of a monstrous woman with horns, claws, and partially skeletal bat-like wings kneeling in a pinup pose in a pool of blood. She holds one hand delicately beside her mouth and leans on a human skull with the other while grinning mischievously at the viewer. A tail comprised of vertebrae and ending in fleshy, toothy petals coils around her. Behind her is a simple golden frame and ring of gold which frame her head like a halo.
OC, Zoya Art nouveau style image of a pale blonde showgirl sitting with a pink feather boa against a gold, pink, and red background. She is smiling coyly. Her left arm and hand are skeletal, and part of her ribcage and organs are exposed. White lilies are piled behind her, and dark red roses bloom up the sides of the picture.
OC, Carmen Romero Image of a pale redheaded woman in a billowing black pantsuit, black Panama hat, and red scarf. One hand is extended into the dark, swirling tendrils rising from around her feet, and the other cracks a shadowy whip above her head. A white lipped python curls up her arm and across her shoulders.
"I Spam Eldritch Blast" OC, Mori Image of a red half-fiend woman with long red hair pulled into a ponytail sitting in a pinup pose on a burgundy skull chair. She wears a spiderweb corset in such a dark purple it's nearly black, garters, and iridescent feather collar, and holds up a finger encircled in swirling, crackling purple magic.

Caro does not in fact document that Moses built *no* parks or pools in Black neighborhoods and where he did it’s thinly sourced and self-contradictory. The social violence Moses led was typical for midcentury planners and was supported from on high by the Feds and professional orgs.

Defending Robert Moses, @rossbarkan.bsky.social writes: "There’s little evidence... that he singled out... Black and Puerto Rican populations for particular punishment." Not true! Caro documents that he built no parks or playgrounds in their neighborhoods and designed swimming pools to exclude them.

Maybe the merger of that would be something like this?

midcentury modernesque interior with warm wood, solid furniture, stone accents, sweeping views of the forest, large hallways

perfect, no notes

A photo of a one and a half story midcentury ranch house, asymetrical with its left two thirds set at ground level and the right third extending past the peak of the left portion's roofline to a taller secondary area. The house is clad in beige brick with some accent thin red brick and stone, and its yard has several strictly manicured hedges and a globe light with the home's address number attached to it.

I don’t think “bring back midcentury public housing standards” will be a winning slogan, particularly given how the nickel and diming resulted in high opex for the quality of housing.

High end early 20th century homes in the blocks around Fenger High School in Roseland

A photo of a Tudor revival style brick home with a very elaborate rusticated brick facde, interspersed with gray stones of varying sizes. The facade's primary brick covering is not a series of even rows; instead, it's a carefully assembled layout of bricks of varying size and shape making up small curves, patterns, and so on, like a fieldstone wall, but made of brick. The house features a castle-like circular turret along the side, and tall front windows with curved tops.
A photo of a large two-story Tudor Revival style home, set back significantly from the street and partially obscured by tall hedges and a tall wooden fence, taking up multiple adjacent city-size lots. The house features a handsome tall slate roof, a small stone turret on the inner part of a corner over its front door, and a flat-roofed midcentury garage off to one side.
A wide two story red brick house sits on a double lot. Its style is between Art Deco and Art Moderne, with some accented horizontal brick lines on the facade providing massing and cloth awnings over its many small windows, but the main entrance at the end of a U-shaped walkway is a curved cruise ship-like tower with a small vertical window made from glass blocks and surrounded by smooth stone above the door.
