Hi, just a friendly reminder that Goodwill prices going up are the fault of the greedy people who run it. There isn’t a shortage of “good clothes” at Goodwill that is being bought by the “trendy resellers.” There are so many clothes at Goodwill and other thrift stores that millions of them end up on landfills every year. We aren’t running out of clothes, and neither are these thrift stores.
Blaming consumers for the increase in price because thrifting became “trendy” (and let’s not forget why it became so trendy.. it’s because we’ve all slowly been getting poorer and poorer) is putting the responsibility on the consumer for consuming, rather than on the corporations who are actually controlling the market. It’s like people blaming individuals for climate change when it’s very apparent that the “1%” and corporations are the problem, not Tyler trying to drive to his min. wage job in an old beat up car. Or Samantha buying 24 packs of cheap water because the water system in her county is broken and undrinkable.
Goodwill could price their clothing at 50¢ each and not only make the same amount of money, but actually give those thousand pound piles of clothing, that never even hits the sales floor, a second chance; instead of ending up in a damn landfill— not even our own landfills.. they’re shipping them to other countries and trashing them there!
If you’re gonna pay $15 for a stained old used hoodie at Goodwill, you might as well go to your local second hand shop instead and spend the same amount for better quality. You’re still giving clothing a second chance and you’re support local small businesses.

It's not just merchandise roundup day: it's also my birthday! ✨🎄 Yep, I was born on Christmas Eve. Everyone I know is afraid of aging, but I couldn't wait to turn 30 last year. 31 isn't too bad, either. I don't see myself as old, but does my age make me a fandom elder? 🤔
Anyway, much as it pains me to say this, the Rue 21 near my place is still closing. I went inside for what's probably the last roundup in that store. I didn't expect to find anything, but they had one new item: a pair of boxers that are entirely black except for a picture of Rick and Morty screaming on the waistband.

I hope the location in the mall doesn't close, but that particular mall is hanging on by a thread. Most of the stores are just empty space. The other Rue 21 locations are almost an hour away!
I also stopped by one of the local head shops. I've posted pictures of it before, but I had to share this plumbus pipe again because it's so well-crafted. (The colors come from the backlighting.)
Tumblr media
No weird clip art with Rick as Pennywise or Mr. Jellybean creeping on Morty: just a well-made piece of glass.
These pictures aren't the greatest, but they also had new backpacks. I love the vibrant colors.

I tried to find pictures online. All I could find from the Dabtized brand was this Alice in Wonderland backpack. I've actually seen those illustrations in another head shop (probably ripped off from Dabtized, if Dabtized is even the original owner.)

Mad Hatter Rick is a good look for him.
Five Below had new winter-themed socks and a poster set. Honestly, I don't see the appeal of merchandise where the characters look scared or pissed off?

Off to the thrift store. The shelves were pretty sparse, but I love these Mr. Sparkle boxers. That's one of my favorite Simpsons B-plots. I actually thought it was the main plot when I was a child, probably because it was so weird and entertaining.

Snowflake boxers!

Another gift set, this time featuring a mug, socks and key chain.

I had extra time, so I browsed the graphic tees. This one was so big that I had to step back to get the whole illustration in frame:

And finally: this one cracked me up. Are you naughty like Toxic Rick or nice like "Healthy" Rick?
Tumblr media
"Healthy" Rick was cold and uncaring toward Morty. A better comparison would be Rickbot and disheveled Rick searching for Prime in his hideout. Rickbot was an angel!
Today, I wondered if I saw Rick and Morty merchandise when I worked in a department store in 2015. That's when the series really blew up. I don't remember anything, but I also didn't watch the show until 2019, so I wasn't looking for it. Maybe Rick was shilling sneakers alongside Kim Kardashian perfumes.
And if he wasn't, he's got a pretty good gig endorsing fast food on the show. Who wants Denny's? 🥞

I love buying things for my home second-hand. The way everything looks lived in and imperfect helps me feel like where I live is a home and not just a box. Sure, I could buy my potholders at the grocery store, but the ones at the thrift store that look like a grandma's couch are more durable and have more personality than many new ones. I've grabbed weird art from a thrift store and from college kids trying to make a quick buck while moving and it gives me a story each time. It's fun to see what people have given away so you can give it new life.
Plus while thrifting today I grabbed what would have been $30 of thread at Joann's that was all in a bag for less than $2 so just wins all around

I get this is a graduation thing, but for some reason it feels like a threat
Possibly because the student looks as though his limbs and head have been ripped from his body and put on a scarecrow?

Does anyone else do this?
I was in the car with my friends and the song Thrift Shop came on, but I could not for the life of me remember the lyrics. They told me to sing along and all I could think of was the lyrics to the Sherlock Parody by Hillywood.
I don’t hear that song the same anymore 😂
