#Furniture of America

"dont put shit on the floor" does the rent we pay every month not include the floor too, mother? When god sings with his creations, will the floor not be a part of the choir?

#free real estate #i put my shit wherever i want #im TWENTY #“dont put yout stuff on the floor” is a ploy by big furniture to make you buy more shelves that are unstable require assembly take up space #while the floor is there #is stable #dirt will get on stuff just as much as it does on a shelf #no assembly it came with your house i hope #LET ME PUT SHIT ON MY FLOOR #this is america #i live in italy #im just a creature #the floor is the closest to the ground #my shit is in touch with nature #and its creations #and it marvels #my shit is happier on the FLOOR

"12.1 MILLION tons of furniture waste went to landfills in the us in 2018*

That’s over 24.2 billion pounds (add in carpets and rugs for another almost 5 billion pounds) discarded to sit in landfills in 2018 alone.

For perspective, when we furnish a home, a one-bedroom apartment requires about 1.1 tons of furniture, so (for some quick math) 11 MILLION one-bedroom apartments are getting tossed into the trash each year.

Meanwhile, 37.9 million people, or 11.6% of the U.S. population, are living in poverty (2021 U.S. Census) and lack the basic necessities to make a house a home.

We solve two problems at the same time, collecting, repurposing, and curating gently-used furnishings and household goods (saving them from landfill) AND giving them to people in need."

"Requesting furniture from Make It Home requires a social worker, caseworker or case manager to make any requests.

If you need furniture, please contact your social worker or if you do not have a social worker, we can recommend some agencies that may be able to help you."

#class politics #my family is poor and may need some new furniture and we heard of this and checked out their website and EEEWWW #viscerally revolting #if somebody doesn't take it it's going in the landfill but they're putting the free sofa or whatever behind bureaucratic gatekeeping anyway #big “Poverty by America” vibes #their website is clearly more aimed at potential donors and volunteers than potential aid recipients too #even if this could be justified on utilitarian grounds I'm angry that they chose a framing this insulting #“this stuff is literal garbage but to get it you need a vetted regime-loyal minder to vouch that you're one of the Worthy Poor” fuck you! #bet this is really about reassuring potential donors that their donations won't go to someone they don't sympathize with #which itself says a lot about whose priorities are being catered to (not the people this program is ostensibly for)

something something watching too many commercials and thinking about the subtle classism of all the images of home interiors decorated in neutral colors and devoid of clutter because of how it implies a) lots of space per individual, b) the time to regularly clean and/or the money to hire someone else to do it, and c) the financial stability to neither buy in bulk nor hoard things that might be useful later

#thank you for coming to my ted talk #fuck capitalism #show me a real house with white furniture and clean floors and a two year old #i dare you #anyway death to the cult of america as always #sorry eggtrolls that tag is too good in stealing it

Is there anything more unsettling than your four cats staring in the same direction down the hall, only for you to later find a spider on the back of your bedroom door?

"Aww, what are you silly little guys doing over-? GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY, IS THAT A BIG HONKIN' RECLUSE???"

#rae is such a dork #having four cats means relatively decent pest control on the house but also they will certainly chase things under the doors #Poor spider was probably terrified I'm sure and usually recluses are docile but I just don't like them out in the open #They're one of the most venomous spiders in America and they're everywhere but they usually stay away from people #Absolutely not fun to push a door open and come face to face with one eye level #I try to repel them with mint and cedar and regular vacuuming and noise but this is peak season for them #Usually they get trapped in the sinks and tub because they want water #So they usually show up in the kitchens and bathrooms #Mom got bit by one way back in the early 2000s and her skin right there is still rather scarred #They hide in clothes and boxes so just give a quick shake of the item and inspect shoes and gloves before sticking limbs in them #They also hide under furniture and woodpiles #They're honestly quite polite spiders that are afraid of you but they can bite if they feel threatened #So I have to share my house for half of the year with them as they come out #Rural Nowhere home problems amirite??

folks, i thought the stewart clarke hyperfixation had gone away — alas. finals ended, les mis came through my city, and my poor girlfriend has spent the last week being lambasted with les mis fun facts.

all that to say, desperately trying to recover from the art class i had to take for my art degree and find the joy in art again. might be posting a bit more here, just sketches & watercolours.

terribly jealous of everyone who’s getting to spend the winter season curled up in the seats at the sondhiem theatre, but i’ll survive.

much love!

#genuinely my period styles class was miserable #have never hated drawing furniture more #and i’m paying 20k a year for this?? jesus christ #i love america. hip hip hooray. #elf cop fanclub #les miserables

#wh. um. fuck. #dad's told me about my nan's will #and uh. #the money goes first to my grandad's looking after obviously #but um once he's not around (in a year or two dad says‚ with his alzheimers) #then it's split between the family in percentages ive forgotten - including my mum‚ which is lovely #but basically in two/three years. i could have enough money to buy my own place. #ive no idea what my credit rating looks like in the least but i guess i have that amount of time to find out and sort it out #i imagine it's not very good - i don't have a credit card or anything like that but i haven't used my overdraft since i was at uni #but dad says i could get 60 grand! so if i buy somewhere with 60k up front and the rest as mortgage? right? #i have no clue whatsoever how to do all that stuff or even like how much furniture costs or how to choose a mattress or anything #ive never had anything like that new #so um. yeah. that's. something #i don't know what to do with it or anything. but it's a thing. #for now i need to go back and find a flat my own cs ive got like 6 weeks now to move from this place #and i have to ring the estate agent landlord people to find out if i can just move upstairs or what. cs that'd be my first choice honestly #but um. my brains gone to mush #i knew my grandparents were well-off but i didn't know it was by that much #or that id get such a high percentage - tho that's half what my dad's getting so i guess that makes sense #he says he's gonna buy a boat and go to south america #which sounds bonkers honestly like he's not a sailor whatsoever #but i guess he's a lot more sensible now he's been sober a year than he ever was when i was a kid

Worked up the courage the other day to ask my mom about Columbia in the 1960s (she moved to Libya when she was 5ish), and all she could give me was:

Her brother had a friend with a monkey that got up to no good

The entire layout of her house

A faint memory (from 1964ish) of people on top of the house at night and her siblings all huddling scared

#apparently her siblings told her nothing #my grandmother lived through most of la violencia before she had my mom #grandmother born 1921 #my mind meanwhile screaming as she just goes on about furniture #wish i knew what Columbia Venezuela Libya Indonesia (and America 70-90s) did to my mom and thus to my brother and i #she just glossed over the fact that her father's employer hired a guard for her house

Barber retail furniture is essential for any barbershop. It provides a place for customers to sit and wait, as well as a place for barbers to work. The right furniture can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of a barbershop, and it can also help to improve customer satisfaction.

When choosing barber retail furniture, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the furniture should be comfortable. Customers should be able to sit back and relax while they wait for their turn. Second, the furniture should be durable. It should be able to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. Third, the furniture should be stylish. It should complement the overall look of the barbershop.
