Abandoned church out in the hills in Greene county. Not much info about it available beyond mentions in obituaries. Built in 1870. ImageImageImageImage
Windows were all boarded from the inside. The doors were also boarded at one point but someone had knocked that in. ImageImageImage
fascinated by these seats in place of pews Image
Classic one room country church except for this side room with its own door (you can see it in the external pics). At one point someone had been living in there and stripping things/running wires/building walls. Most recent dated thing we could find was a receipt from 2008. Image
Big fan of this chair. Imagining a raccoon wandering in and sleeping on it. Image
For a weird bad time google this kid and the place she's buried. Image
As I was taking this picture a gun went off nearby. We thought nothing of it until 30 seconds later it went off again. We thought well that might be someone gently nudging us to leave, since our car was visible right outside. Image
We came out and there were two people watching from a truck parked up away from the road near a house we thought was abandoned on a neighboring property. They were talking about us and seemed relieved we were leaving so they didn't have to come down. So we left.
Nice day in extreme southwestern PA. Image

100 years ago tonight, in the small town where we live, thousands of klan members came to march through the Irish catholic neighborhood. To get there they had to funnel over this bridge. When they got there it had been blocked by a truck. Which should have been a warning. Image
They came from a huge Klan rally on a local rich guy's farm. There's a minigolf place there now bearing the family name. The march had been opposed in town but Carnegie lacked an ordinance stating that you needed permission to march. And the police chief was (surprise!) Klan. Image
sidenote: the police chief's name was literally Christ Image

if the sun is just about to rise wherever you are and you have a clear view of eastern skies you can see every planet in the solar system right now all in a row. although a few of them are pretty faint. but just saying: it's out there right now.
I never sleep in much in June but hey at least you get to see every planet at once aside from saturn and uranus who got lost in the dawn.
this alignment isn't happening again until 2040. that's cool.

Every british show that pops up on streaming services over here is either a young urban detective in modern times battling their mental health drugs trauma as they hunt a killer under overcast skies or an old rural detective poking about sunny crime scenes in delightful places.
Grytte Season 2: Detective Grytte follows the trail of a sex murderer while juggling family life and his mental health drugs.

Poppo Season 11: Mannered and sharp Inspector Poppo is back for series 11 and no killer is safe from his keen eye and west highland terrier Ronston.
or it's a sitcom called like Care For A Pint about a guy running a pub who is learning to be less racist probably

Friends, I come to this question with no judgement:
There is a familiar affect that is common to particular kind of generally liberal self-identified brainy nerd - a simmering theatricality mixed with hyper crisp pronunciation, like the nerd culture transatlantic accent. It's been around quite a while. What is the lineage here?
I should specify- culturally less Ira Glass, more Neil Gaiman

Was going through some very old things today and found this notebook where I was totally for real designing a Zelda game at age 11. This dungeon featured soon to be classic boss "BARR" and beloved npc "MARK".
As the sun sets in the middle of the mountains, a sort of dragon thing glides towards this absolutely fucked castle
