Imagine having hope for the future. What a time to have been alive.

Must’ve been nice to have optimistic futurism, now even the fiction is with just modern neoliberalism in space or a glowing worship of fascism

Back then they actually hoped for technology aiding in the liberation of the human spirit, instead of the daily dread of what torment nexus is going to be implemented next.

Imaging wanting a unique style and unique aesthetic instead of Pinterest copy-paste all beige/grey.

Unfortunately, every time the hot water starts to drip you have to find a nine year old to coerce into doing NASCAR so you can afford to buy a replacement cartridge from a slave-owning racist stereotype.

Uranium Glass!

Interestingly, not available in this aesthetic, since the US banned the use of uranium salts and production ended in 1958. Most examples are from before that, and were typically depression glass pieces.

Most was pre-war. The US government put a huge amount of effort into covertly redirecting uranium salts and ores for the Manhattan Project without clueing people in to the fact that they were doing something weird with it. At the time, it wasn’t really a useful element for any industrial processes other than “idk it makes glass a fun color I guess” and wasn’t heavily mined as a result.
