Can humans live forever?
Humans may be the only creatures that areaware of their mortality. There is no evidence that other animals know their time on Earth is finite. The realization that we and everyone we know will someday die must be one of the more unsettling discoveries of childhood. Ever since humans recognized we have a limited lifespan, that knowledge has shaped our cultures, religions and philosophies. Although we make plans, pursue careers and behave as though we will live indefinitely, the fear of death and the desire to transcend it remain. As a species, we have made some major strides against mortality. In modern times, death from violence, disease and famine has become less common than it once was. At the same time, medical advances and a dramatic decline in fertility rates have produced aging societies. The proportion of people older than 65 is rising rapidly, while the working-age population that supports them shrinks. Understanding aging is therefore an urgent practical challenge. If we can delay its effects, older people may remain healthy, independent and productive for longer.

I like them, but I don't $850 like them.

I hope to someday believe in myself the way the pricetags believe in these products.

As I've said, my mom loved giraffes, and my dad used to tell me bedtime stories about a town of mice in our attic. So I associate these animals with them. And Martie.com got these Areaware animal figurines with magnets in their feet so they can "hold hands". My impulse buy arrived today.

I also nabbed this gif off the Areaware website before the shop closed down :3

Takes me back to the old days of tumblr, back when if you saw a gif online you nabbed it (no matter how odd/obscure) to use as a reaction gif at down the line (usually in a thread about homestuck headcanons /j)

Update: Cubebot is gonna be available in some capacity going forward through its original designer, David Weeks

They haven't announced what exactly it'll be like going into the future, but they did have a cute transforming gif on the newsletter sign-up page:

Areaware, a small homegoods/toy company is closing & today's the last day for their online store

Been collecting their Cubebot & Milo figures off & on for years: they're great little fidget toys if you like things that turn into shapes

I'd really hoped that Areaware would make it, I didn't want to believe it was going under, but here it is, the going-out-of-business sale :(

Heartbroken to hear of yet another great business folding because of tariffs. RIP Unison Home, Osei Duro, Areaware.

Tariffs. But also: the record label for housewares era is over? I always wanted to start that business. I guess I'm glad I opened a retail shop instead. (Not that I'm doing great in that business either. Is everything over?)
