I mean, it is ugly, but architecture is kind of an art (well, it can be..)

Brutalism is definitely polarizing but done well can be stunning, especially interiors. Exteriors are either loved or hated, though I have seen plenty of "meh" Brutalism structures. As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to go for something as 'bold' as Brutalism, may as well go all out.

Boston City Hall is awesome from some angles, and a big fat concrete eyesore from others. It's absolutely subjective. Nice photo, op.

honestly? when I have a bum weekend I try and find a thrift store I've never been to. luckily there are tons around here.

It's partly sifting through a load of old lady stuff, and part treasure hunting. I've found a lot of cool stuff at antique/thrift malls.

I also can link you to my (warning, gigantic) gmaps list of places I want to go

Not without doing your research, coming up and being told sternly that bikes are not allowed in the T during rush hour which then has a busted elevator, and finding your way home with a dying phone coming down at dusk in rush hour traffic, make a plan, lol.

We had fun but it turned into one of 'those' stories.

It just helps normalize it. Like more TV shows and movies having gay characters. Because surprise, we exist, and we just do the shit "the straights" do like... food shopping, go to the bank... other shit. People shit. Because yknow, we're all just people.

It shouldn't matter. But it does, because some people can't mind their own goddamn business and have a huge shitfit about "the gay agenda" or something.

Normalizing helps. A little bit, but it does help.
