Article! also Yay!
🕑 Added 2017-12-15 23:42:49 +0000 UTC Hey guys, I wanted to share this article I wrote a little while back for Jacobin (sadly Architectural Digest only wants articles from me about home decorating #fails, leaving the more esoteric stuff to whoever will take it!!) about some critical ideas about McMansions and Postmodernism. This is the article that underlies most of my argument for the paper (see attached) I posted about a few days ago.Finals are over which means it's time to return to #content. Thank you for your patience!
Also Yay! Patreon backed down on the fee changes!!!! WOOO!

Love the parts about choosing a house based not on your own family's needs, but on who you think you can sell it to later, and the huge spaces for entertaining and showing off wealth, which hardly get used.

I finally got to read the article and I loved it! It was actually helpful for my own research too (don't worry, I'm in video game studies, not gonna steal any job spots), since I've been looking for sources on space and characterization of space.
