...I hate that twitter is what I am linking but it is the most public facing thing I have so 24truetonetenor there! most usernames I will make in the future will have something about Buescher and/or True Tone in them though because I'm uninventive with usernames and autistic about the history of musical instrument manufacturing.
Cohost has been very fun though yay

this article is incredible. it starts out strong:
The Leaning Tower of Niles is a half-size replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa located in Niles, Illinois.
like sure, fine, that sounds like an intensely american thing.
Completed in 1934, it was commissioned by industrialist Robert Ilg as part of a recreation park for employees of the Ilg Hot Air Electric Ventilating Company of Chicago.[2][3]
Great. Perfect. Ideal encapsulation of the bit.
Ilgair Park's pools and artificial lake needed a large water tank and pumping equipment to function, which Robert Ilg decided to hide by building a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to house them.[1]
What?
The Leaning Tower of Niles contains five bells. Three of the bells were cast in Cavezzo, Italy, in 1623, 1735 and 1747.[8]
...what?
How they came to be included in the tower is not known.[9]
basically. perfect article
Tradwife fantasies are fantasies of self-annihilation. They emerge from a desire to give up and abandon everything. But even the tradwives who have given up their identities in service to a man with enough money to buy a human are living something closer to a horror movie than a fantasy of peace. It's about time for the tradwife fantasy to be relabeled a type of fetish like it truly is. It is no different in nature than people who want to be turned into latex drones or pet catgirls. It is about as unrealistic.
