- Last night my daughter chatted with me at length about both the academic and social aspects of her life at high school.

- I had to go to the laundromat to wash some bedding and was dreading an hour and a half of noise from television game shows, car dealership commercials, and so on. How delighted I was when I discovered that the woman in charge today had not only switched the television off but put on Pandora Classic Soul instead!

- I bought mini ice cream cones from Trader Joe's, so everybody at home will be pleased!

In this image, I wanted to capture the everyday scene of a laundromat, where clean clothes symbolize order and community life. The warm wood tones and simple layout evoke a sense of comfort, while the laundry machines represent the shared experiences of urban living.

This image shows the interior of a laundromat. The space is filled with washing machines arranged along the wall, and there are wooden tables with pink countertops in the foreground. The walls have a warm, wooden texture, creating a cozy atmosphere. You can hear the faint sounds of machines running and the occasional rustling of laundry. There's a change machine on one side, and a clock on the wall indicating the time.

"In this weekend’s Financial Times, I make the case for changing the rules, getting rid of anonymously owned companies and abolishing #offshore tax havens: We don’t need them. This is one of the themes of #Autocracy Inc, but I wanted to repeat some of them for #FT readers, since #London has long been the home to so many lawyers, accountants, bankers and others who enable the kleptocratic world…"

Have schools lost #engineering competency in the past 20 yrs?

You used to be able to simply insert a coin into the washing machine & it would simply just work. This recent generation of engineers thought it was a good idea to:

* get rid of coin payment
* connect the #laundromat machines to the internet
* force people to run an app
* force people to use a bank account or paypal to top up their account

So there are now ~50+ new points of failure where things can go wrong.

I’ve been doing this thing that I’m calling “last wash 10 pm,” a photo series of old school laundromats in San Francisco.

growing up in New York, I spent a good portion of my Saturdays in a laundromat with my Dad. we would load up our granny cart with our family’s sheets, towels, and dirty clothes, and head down the block where we could get them all washed, dried and folded in a matter of hours.

they’re rarely glamorous, highly utilitarian third spaces many of us are forced to frequent. I had gotten spoiled by having in-unit laundry while living in San Francisco, but when I moved back to Brooklyn for 2 months in the fall of 2021, we became reacquainted again. quarters were out, and reloadable chip cards were in but pretty much everything else remained the same.

it feels slightly voyeuristic taking picture of people doing laundry, so I content myself with their unmentionables spinning in machines, on the way to becoming clean (and an occasional dog waiting for his Person to finish chores so they can go for a walk).

so if you have a photogenic laundromat in your neighborhood, please let me know, I will come and discreetly photograph it. I promise not to include you in it (unless you really want).

/end for now

I don’t know what it is I like about them so much, but at this point I can hardly pass one by without taking a photo.

maybe it’s the patterns created by stacked square washers and dryers with round doors. maybe it’s the punny names that all seem to be obsessed with bubbles. maybe it’s the multicolored clothes doing their little dance.

I just know deep down inside that they’re a dying breed, and I should maybe document them when I can.
