Hmmm, online pal and I exchanged addresses to send Christmas cards but hilariously have both yet to send one, but do you think it'd be weird or too much if I sent a present for them and their sister as well 🤔

#for context their sister has been getting chemo for a brain tumor and even tho the sister and i have never interacted #ive been following the homie for years so have constsntly read and seen pictures of the both of them #and have been told their sister loves the pics i post of my pets n stuff #so i thought well since i accidentally took this long maybe i can send a koala soft toy and a couple other lil australiana things i got #pretty sketch book with a print from a cool indigenous artist to send my pal bc theyre an artist too #like we just said cards but i thought since shit has been rough maybe a lil care package would be a nice surprise #im probably overthinking this like most people would probably like getting free gift from random on other side of the planet lmao #i mean i sure wouldnt mind but idk #😮‍💨

it’s that time of year again, and i get so annoyed when my family is like “oh you’re so hard to get gifts for” and i’m just like. i’m literally not. i am so loud and open about my interests, the quickest of google searches will turn up dozens of little knickknacks i’d love. i’m not hard to get gifts for, you’re just not listening to me.

#if you don’t want to get me fandom stuff get me notebooks! or nice pens! or jewelry! #literally it doesn’t have to be expensive #one of the best gifts i ever got was a cheap pair of garnet earrings #i like philosophy get me philosophy anthologies i like linguistics get me books on linguistics #even pop linguistics is fun for me! #i’m so easy to please i really am #maybe i don’t seem happy when i get the same lotion set for the 10th year in a row (i don’t wear lotion bc sensory issues) #maybe i don’t seem happy when i get unnecessarily expensive clothing that someone in their 60s would wear #or with little hallmark toys that have nothing to do with me or my interests #but it’s because im so open about what i do like and all of that just seems so last minute like something you’d give a coworker #i don’t like sending just like a list either. because doesn’t that defeat the purpose? #if you’re just going to get me exactly what i say off a list i’d rather you just not get me anything it feels so disingenuine #personal

Что лучше всего дарить Утоши? Правильно - книги 😍😍😍 Я тот ещё книжный червь, который обожает читать и никогда не упустит возможности приобрести новую книжку 😅 Поэтому @shitty-sweetie-honey-bastard положила в подарочек два романа (уже не терпится узнать что там внутри, особенно учитывая что дедушка Кинг король ужасов)

Ну и к основному подарку прилагалась охереть не встать какая крутейшая закладка с китом 😍😍😍 Это произведение искусства без преувеличения и я о ней мечтаю давно ❤️ Она даже шла в индивидуальной коробочке и всё так красиво оформлено.

Далее у нас открытки (куда ж без кучи картона? Я же так сильно его люблю 😅)

Ну и всякая мелочовка типа мини игрушечек в мою коллекцию, тоже не повредит (да и пофиг что у меня весь дом завален этим хламом ахаха)

И в завершении новая дудка с каким-то тропическим вкусом 🥭

Спасибо, чувачок, за такие шикосные подарки 😘 люблю тебя.

feeling very sentimental about how monster high changed my life

#and feeling very nostalgic about spending hours in toy stores just looking at mh dolls 🥺 not buying but just appreciating #and about reading the books and draculaura's diary as a 10 year old #and mh being the go to gift my family gave me... specially my grandma. she gave me so many dolls and bags and #even made me an embroidered draculaura handkerchief #and also very nostalgic about when i first got my first mh doll (draculaura) and immediately after going to the beach with her 🤧🤧🤧 #idk this franchise means so much to me #🎀

when i was little my grandma didnt have toys in her house for us, so she let us use all her saints statues as dolls lmao

#our toys would ruin the aesthetic of her house i guess ajsjdkf she gave us books and told us to bring from home whatever we wantef #i remembered bc i just found the virgin mary statue she gifted me bc it was my favourite #boluda tag

[stroebe2]

having no actual material object from my childhood like books or personal gifts or toys to hold on to and look back on through the years makes me feel sad sometimes :-/

#honestly its not that much of a deal i think like material possessions are not that important in the big scheme of things #but i just wish i had some things... old books #things gifted to me by my family #old toys #random stuff that bring back good memories #anything before i was 14 is basically gone lol #it would be nice to have a little box with some of these but whatever i guess

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like. #ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone! #like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate'' #we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!
