when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.

#yeaaaah #we went on a hike once. we stayed on the easy trail and we hiked up to a stream below a small falls and some nice sun-warmed rocks to sit on #we ate a pre-packed lunch on the rocks by the water and enjoyed the pretty sights and looking at the fish and tadpoles #and hiked back down to the car. enjoyed the journey both directions #we did go to the top of the trail where the trees open up into a clearing

the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.

Trying to come up with a name for Peggy in the warrior cats AU, I have 2 possible prefixes but I don't like any of the suffix combinations I've tried with them. Hareflight was what I originally thought of, since they're birdclan and a lot of the names in the clan are bird or flying related, but I'm overthinking it like does the flight suffix imply something of personality?? Bc Peggy doesn't flee she stands firm and fights like a badass. So her warrior cats name should be suitably badass, too?? The other was kestrel- but kestrelflight has the same issue? Kestrelflame is ehhhh. Hareclaw? Maybe I should find something with an M for Margaret, or a P for Peggy, or a C for carter...? Ugh.

#also need a name for warrior cat obadiah stane and it cant be stone- bc rhodey is stoneflight. it just felt right for him idk hes a grey cat #obie is like a tigerclaw type yknow. probably a tabby like him too it is the most common color/pattern #on the other hand i have names for a million other characters incpuding ones that may only be mentioned once if at all #lol idek

Just wrote out the whole plot for the warrior cats/marvel au I've had on the backburner for ages and its actually genuinely solid?? Like it just flowed freely and easily even when I hit a snag I just figured out where I wanted it to go instead. Will type it up and share tomorrow if I have a chance. It's really more of an outline/not!fic thing but it's super solid.

#if i could write dialogue things would b over for yall lololol #I'm so tired its 1am i should sleeeeeep #kam if u see this remind me lol #its different in some ways than the original au we discussed back and worth but ifs strong and solid rn

My sister won't communicate with her husband that it bothers her when he doesn't think of doing something (like ordering dinner on a night when she gets out late, or waiting for her to prompt the dinner discussion instead of starting it himself), and is saying she doesn't want to have to bug him to do things but doesn't want to have to do everything herself but also she's just going to do everything but also--- like. Just communicate!!! It won't occur to him things because he's not a mind reader!! Ask him to try to cook on your late nights at work before you get home so food is ready when u get home, or order food, or let you know if he's not able to? She can communicate!! Don't let resentment fester in you!! You need to have a conversation, and stay on topic during the conversation! If it's about dinner, then discuss dinner, don't bring up planning trips issues or whatever or stuff around the house or whatever. If it's about how you want to do date nights once a week or every other week, then talk about what that will look like. I know I'm a hypocrite bc I can't communicate anything but I understand what should be done even if I can't practice what I preach...

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

Hey New York people!

The city’s libraries have already had to cut Sunday service and limit hours. The new budget being put forward is even worse for libraries and may require the loss of another day of service.

Please contact City Council and the Mayor asking for budget restoration

Things I’m learning about All For the Game fans: a lot of y’all didn’t grow up with a cheese drawer in your fridge and it shows

#we have a drawer in which we store cheese and deli turkey packages and the sticks of margarine and butter and any other smallish items #its a wide low drawer below the fruit and veg drawers and has two sections #but generally its not just cheese.

Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

Shop: is open

Door sign: We are open! Come on in!

Gimmicky flag outside the shop: bright and flapping to draw the eye and hopefully help customers notice that the shop is open

Me: They probably don't want me to go in there
