satirical photography final project, huh?

ok so for my photography project i’ve been brainstorming a shoot idea and want some outside opinions before i commit

premise: i live in N/NW so there’s SO much light pollution you can’t see stars, just planes constantly. so my idea is to shoot long exposures and/or time-lapses of plane trails at night, framed AS IF they’re stars, like literally treating them as constellations, star charts, astrophotography, that kind of thing

was originally gonna do it as like a sad “look what we’ve lost” environmental piece but honestly i think that’s the obvious route and everyone does that. so instead i’m leaning into full CORPORATE SATIRE. like shoot it all glossy and aspirational, fake marketing copy over the images. like “Introducing the New Night Sky™ - why let nature do the trick when we can take over!” type captions. basically pretending to be a billionaire CEO hyping up plane trails as an upgrade from stars instead of mourning the loss

other bits i’m considering adding in:

- real estate listing style captions (“prime sky-facing views, unobstructed airspace access,”)

- fake weather forecast graphic but predicting plane density instead of rain

- idk i need more ideas pls

my theme is “outdoors” so i think the corporate rebrand angle actually ties in well bc it’s literally about the outdoors being packaged and sold back to us

does this sound like a strong concept for a project or am i overcomplicating it?

tia 🙏

unpopular opinion: the “seven nation army” riff is the most heard melody in human history and most people don’t even know it

ok hear me out. that “do do do DO do do do do” bassline from Seven Nation Army has basically become its own language at this point. it mutated into the “ole ole ole” chant and now it gets played at literally every stadium on earth. football, rugby, the freaking Olympics. by crowds who’ve never heard the actual song and have no idea it’s a White Stripes track from 2003.
think about it: you could never touch spotify in your life and you’d still know this riff. it’s in movie trailers, car commercials, sports highlight reels, marching bands at school games. it doesn’t even need words to be recognized, that’s how deep it’s wired into people’s brains.
genuinely struggling to think of anything that beats it for sheer “everyone on the planet has heard this whether they wanted to or not” energy. happy birthday maybe but you have to be at a party for that.
what’s your pick for most-heard melody ever? am i wrong about this one

My long-distance friend (F) relapsed on s3lf-h@rm after 10 months and keeps confiding in me (M). I feel completely helpless because of the distance. what do I do?

So my friend (we used to go to the same school but now different ones + I’m in the UK, she stayed in Sydney) has been struggling for a while. A family member passed away several months ago and it’s still hitting her hard on top of her diagnosed depression. She’s opened up to me a lot. like she says I’m the first person she talks to about this stuff, even though I’m a guy. We got pretty close before I moved. we’d have deep talks on school camps etc,

A while back she told me she’d been clean from self-harm for 8 months but was scared of relapsing. She even said she’ll start therapy next term. I was so fucking proud that she committed to going as she had been avoiding it earlier.

Tonight (her time) she messaged me that she relapsed. I replied when i got out of school but it was like 2am her time so I feel weird about the timing too.

I really want to help her but I feel useless. I can’t hug her, sit with her, or even offer to hang out, walk with her. anything.
She’s joked (but I think almost fully-seriously) multiple times that I need to move back. I don’t want to betray her trust by telling any adults, but I’m also scared I’m not enough and something bad happens. The distance is killing me on this. Maybe it’s a good thing because it gives her someone who she doesn’t have to see with everyday to share things with. And her good friends i’m in contact with do say she’s doing better most days. And they said there were a few dates that were like better than usual which were some of the days the night / morning after we talked for like 3 hours. So i’m really glad i seem to be healing at least a bit.

So I need some advice please.

How do I support her properly from so far away? Should I keep gently pushing the therapy thing? What’s actually helpful to say when she opens up like this? Any girls who’ve been in her position. what would you want from a guy friend in this situation?
Thanks.
