Plus ca change!


Saw a sign by some construction that eschewed the various "MEN WORKING" tropes for the more proletariat


WORKERS


which is all well and good, but some indie band will come up called "Workers" and then those signs will disappear onto dorm room walls. As will signs after that reading "LABORERS," "BE MINDFUL OF THE SUNBURNT MEN" and "HARDSCRABBLE AHEAD."
Also curious about whether high schools still have "announcements" in the morning, or whether a Star Wars-style Leia hologram of the principal just appears to say there will be an early dismissal Thursday and whether kids still write the names of bands and the like on the coverings of their textbooks...wouldn't this be passe? But then, would girls write "I (HEART) TOBY" on their laptops, iPhones and what not?
So old and tired.
