       | TIL there is an aesthetics wiki

         | The premise of the wiki is interesting, though I do think it's
         | lacking in variety from what I've seen so far. It seems to
         | cater towards very niche part of internet culture aesthetics.
         | There's still definitely a couple of good reads though!

           | Yes, most are just Tumblr and Instagram trends.

       | Interesting. I use that term to mean a built space that
       | pedestrians aren't meant to be, but you find yourself in somehow.
       | No door, no sign, no suitable walking surface.

       | Two weeks ago, I had never heard the word "liminal". Now, it
       | seems to be the order of the day.

         | For anyone in New York, there's a pretty good art exhibit in
         | Brooklyn about liminality called the Museum of Future
         | Experience. (The museum might do other exhibits, but it's been
         | liminality for as long as I've known it).

         | It's a popular word in undergraduate English departments. My
         | friend in college told me his professor (jokingly) threatened
         | to hand an "F" out to any paper that talked about the
         | liminality of the text because of the sheer number of them he
         | got every semester.
