  • A deep and primal yearning that crashes over you in waves. A thorn in your psyche; always a subtle throbbing but impossible to ignore once anything diverts your attention to it. Constant intrusive thoughts, loneliness, frustration, panic, desperation, aggression.

    Other people are saying its akin to hunger, but I’d say it’s more like thirst. There’s a stronger sense of urgency and a subtle feeling that’s always present and ready to bubble up to the surface at any moment to override everything else.

    For those curious why this happens: this building has no diagonal bracing to prevent racking, so over time it can sag and lean more and more as the wood weathers and nails loosen.

    Installing the exterior boards at an angle would’ve helped, but usually results in more waste and labour so if you’re a poor farmer with limited supplies you just install them horizontal and it’ll probably last as long as you need it to anyways. Braces on the inside can be annoying to deal with if the building is used to store grain, but a viable option otherwise.

    I loathe the trend to blame the end consumer for their waste and eliminate very publicly visible things like straws when the vast majority is caused by industry every step of the way. The amount of plastic I see in retail garbage bins is sickening, and the average customer has no clue because it’s all long before anything ends up on the shelf.

    Then people stop using plastic cutlery and think they’re helping the planet meanwhile it’s just a facade to keep the real wasters off their radar.
