Packing/Moving PTSD
I’m not kidding. I felt it hard after our ambush move that went so badly. I just couldn’t even think about packing a box, or handling any logistics of a move. We signed an extended lease despite literal gun fights outside our loft. I just couldn’t do it. As you can see, the thought of moving for a HOUSE YOU OWN really does a lot to combat moving-PTSD. I mean, it didn’t cure it, but I could at…

My Blog is Held Hostage!
There is going to be a blogging pause because I can’t make the posts that I’m trying to make. I tried just posting to Tumblr (where this blog has always been cross-posted) to see if I like it. I didn’t really, because it was very basic, and I want more customizations. I have a conundrum. I finally figured out why I’m having an image problem on WordPress, no thanks to WordPress. I ran out of…

My Blog is Held Hostage!
I'm trying something new to see if I like it. I have a conundrum. I finally figured out why I'm having an image problem on WordPress, no thanks to WordPress. I ran out of storage for the free version. Not that they told me that. And I'm not sure I want to pay $48/yr to get 3 more GB (though that did last 9 years and 2K posts). But I'm mad that they didn't send an email or put an error--like hey you ran out. It just gave me some sizing error that I knew was wrong. And I'm also mad that when I tried to reach out for help, you can't get IT help. Like, at all. So I'm not in love with that.
But also, moving 2K posts anywhere sounds like a whole big thing, and I'm not even sure what platform would be best to move my blog to... I like that WordPress boosts my post in the search engines for free, and without my intervention. And ability to cross-post to different social media/blogging sites. And scheduling posts for the future. I guess that's where the pros of staying end.
I would love a more user-friendly experience. I need to be able to make text colored or put a background color in the posts. I also want a categorization system, and tagging. I'll need to keep my category tabs right on the main page.
I will need to be able to customize my banner and menus.
Show the popular posts in the sidebar.
Show a calendar of recent posts.
And pictures. I still need to be able to include a lot of pics.
Anyone know of a good blogging/website platform that might have all of that. And be easy to transfer my posts into? For free, obviously. Or like maybe $30 a year or less if that's an impossible request.
I'm not sure I like just Tumblr because this is pretty basic, but I do see it frequently saving, and I did get a pic in here. I'll have to think about it.
I think I'll do the following post for real in a different site :-/
For a lot of awkward items, the solution is a "wardrobe box"

Cat puzzle feeder, Scratchy squiggles, Cat tree
Boots
Hall rug & Living room rug & Treadmill mat
Hangers
Metal sun hanging

Packing Strategies: Bee Organized [Moving Tips Series]
I was going to do the 4 types in one post, but it got long. So here’s a series within a series! Pack to unpack: Process: Gather like-items, pad them with other items from them that same room/category, and pack them as tightly as possible. Say I’m packing the kitchen. I’d grab kitchen towels/soft placemats/table clothes and accordion the plates into them. I tried to find an image, and can’t…

Packing Strategies: Coyote [Moving Tips Series]
I was going to do the 4 types in one post, but it got long. So here’s a series within a series! Pack for professional movers Process: Use the aforementioned ‘packing to reduce boxes’ method. Add extra security and padding for careless movers. If you would normally use, say, one towel to cushion your plates-use 3 for movers. The day-laborers that didn’t work full time for 500 Move, were…

Packing Strategies: White Rabbit [Moving Tips Series]
I was going to do the 4 types in one post, but it got long. So here’s a series within a series! There are different ways to pack (who knew?) and one to avoid: In a hurry, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late: Process: Entails shoving things closest at hand into boxes because you got behind and it’s go time. Pros: None. You will hate yourself, hate life, and hate how much stuff you have and how little…

Pre-Packing [Moving Tips Series]
Before anything goes into a box, take a slow video of everything. SLOW. Like, if this were stolen does this video either show it or allow you to describe the item in detail in an insurance claim? Take pictures too. Especially of the stuff you really like. Those claims make you say the following things about each item missing/stolen: description of what the item is find the exact or very…

Comparison of 3 Moving Companies [Moving Tips Series]
You have to get your own quotes for many reasons, among them: Prices can change over time, as the economy and fuel do. They may vary by season, depend on competition in your area, and also demand for movers/trucks. The pricing will also consider accessibility of your street, parking lot, building, and unit. Tight lots, long walkways, stairs, far hallways are all more, more, more. How much stuff…

Get Moving Quotes [Moving Tips Series]
Whether you’re taking your own stuff, or hiring a moving company you need to do some research. At different points Uhaul (2023) and Penske (2015) were the more affordable moving van. Now pods and umove or whatever containers are in play. And with moving companies you need to be on red alert. Those people are just a hair from being actual criminal enterprises. Be skeptical and GET THINGS IN…

Hold Back Things You'll Need Right Away [Moving Tips Series]
WordPress is acting a’fool. I can’t put in images. Like, the exact same images that went in fine last week, just glitches this week. Yes, I checked the size. I compressed them. And double compressed. I resized to 800×800. Then 500×500. Still no. I posted on the forum (closest thing I can tell to talking to a person about it). I guess we’re at a stand-off. In the mean time I had to push my Taylor…

 A Surprising Twist [Horror Movie Misogyny 7]
Well known horror movie tropes like the Black character dies first for example, or the slut gets it normalizes harmful stereotypes. Showing who deserves to live (and not) leads many people to believe this kind of behavior is OK – that it’s acceptable to victimize these types because she “had it coming,” or that men deserve to get the shit beaten out of them if they show any sign of…
