Ordering a package and then immediately being like ok where is it? Is it here? Pakaige? Deeliverie? Gift for me? When? Where? 🥺🥺🥺

#placing an order and then immediately checking the delivery status is hot bitch behavior #anyways ordered some makeup and scale mail #from different stores of course #im yet to find a store that appeals exclusively to armor building femmes

It is winter, I am cold and I found a shop that's selling ace flag coloured flannel. I'm gonna make myself a flannel dress in the hope that it will feel like pyjamas.

#a talia original #talia paints #digital art #i've been having fun with rebelle lately playing with layers #i used a 50s vintage vogue illustration as my croquis #and the picture from the fabric store just to see what it would look like #the check would be on a different scale of course #but it's so fun to see the possibilities this way #ace flannel dress #i never buy fabric online i really hope it works out

girl help the content about palestine on tiktok is turning from actual journalism content and educational resources and organized ways to help to "boycott everything or you're a bad person and if you don't use a game filter that generates 0.00001 cent you're personally the problem"

#of course theres still a lot of good stuff on there regarding activism but. *please* #the all-or-nothing disorganized activism comes from a good place but can also end up being discouraging/confusing for other people #theres a difference between 'follow this concise list of companies with proof of supporting israel as best you can' #and 'boycott everything on black friday/cyber monday because its the same time as the ceasefire ignore the sales and #don't buy anything from these big companies just make this a thrifty/homemade holiday season' #even though bds has amazon listed as a NON BOYCOTT company #and some people 1.) dont have a good selection of thrift/secondhand stores as alternatives #and 2.) cannot on short notice switch to making gifts for everyone #(like me! i switched away from homemade gifts *because its too much to do in the holiday season*) #(and switching up what im doing to all thrift/homemade would *cause me to burn myself out*) #mine #tiktok #free palestine #boycott

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc. #especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already #done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and #all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you. #who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3 #my beloved. etc. etc. and so on.

ANYWAY #Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

I kind of want to try making mead or ambrosia 👀

Obviously not right now because I have Shit To Do; but maybe during the summer after I’ve moved

#alcohol mention #Apparently you can make mead out of honey and I love honey so of course I have to try it #I want to make more food from scratch so I can reduce my plastic consumption #because my ten-year goal is to convert to a completely anticapitalist zero-waste lifestyle #Just for me… I don’t put pressure on anyone to do the same unless they’re well-off and being ridiculous about their consumption #Except for maybe encouraging people to switch to reusable water bottles if they’re in an area where the tap water is potable #(like where I live) #or flaunting my canvas shopping bag that I got for 5 dollars at a hardware store whenever possible #Okay I guess I do push people a little bit #But it’s all reasonable things directed at people I know are physically mentally and financially able to do those things #or I’ll just casually mention microplastics and pollution in conversation as a “fun fact” #But I’m not ridiculous about it with anyone but myself #I hold myself to some weird standards that I don’t hold others to and I’m fine with it #Obviously it’s the corporations’ faults that everything is the way it is and no single person can make a huge difference #But if everyone does one thing to help the planet; then it might buy us some time to change the system #There is also the issue of supply and demand; if more people reduce plastic intake then less plastic will be produced #But again: it’s very hard to be ethical in this society. EVERYTHING enjoyable is packaged in plastic and it sucks #(ok not literally everything but consider: most candy is wrapped in plastic and clothes have plastic tags and chips are in plastic #sushi is in plastic containers and meat is in shrink wrap or styrofoam and most modern chewing gum is a byproduct of vinyl #toys are packaged in plastic etc. etc.)

one single Cesare sleeve ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️👍 the first picture is how i sewed it on (so, the sleeve is inside out). the second photo is the normal wear. it has an odd bulge in the middle of it from the hem of the grey inner sleeve that I failed to take into account. also i tried to make the stitching discreet, but it's hard when I can't see the other side of the fabric... so it does look a bit strange.... but that's ok buexause the third picture is of the sleeve rolled up, WHICH Looks exactly how i want it to! :•)

#i got this shirt from the thrift store and it has some bloodstains on the sleeve #immersive cesare experience (someone else's blood on ur shirt) #lonely dog speaks #now i'm not sure whether to course correct and try out a different measurement of sleeve sewing pr keep it consistent #u know what i'ma keep it consistent. i dont like when my clothes are asymmetrical #even if it looks funky #OHH MAYBE I COULD TRY A DIFFERENT HEMMING method.. grr idk #AAA I Need to stop but im very excited heheahahaeha #did u know that if u want to make your halloween costume you have to actually Do that. i just found that out

[thestarmaker]

Felt like I was gonna get hate crimed at home depot in my american idiot shirt and my blue hair

#of course the one thing i needed was completely on the other side of the store #the Looks i got from some other customers were. well not great lmao #BUT at a different store as i was leaving i saw another person w blue hair & cool glasses and we exchanged an 'i love your hair!' in passing #so that restored me 😌

[ has a spiritual awakening through using non-walmart thread ] it. it feels so. sturdy.

Anyways. New neck thing needs to be stuffed and placed on The Beast. If it doesnt look nice thats fine i will simply use the current one and add little red hair elsewhere

Yes he is missing an eye already. We will not worry about that rn.

#anyways. thread thoughts. #/i mean/ logically of course they would be different. one is no-name walmart brand shit and the other is from a craft store #but speaking as someone only *just* stepping into this kinda stuff i had. no idea just how different theyd feel lol #strength-wise they took about the same amount of effort to break but like. u can feel it #u can tell which one is which bc i have the walmart stuff on the bobbin #please dont crucify me if mixing thread brands is bad i am simply Vibing and making my abominations

Unreasonably annoyed that somehow both target AND Office Depot are closed today and I wanted to get some page protectors and binder dividers to organize my mom’s random collection of recipes today during a crafternoon

SIGH being a godless heathen is so hard sometimes

#this is of course nothing compared to my atheist husband living in a Muslim country #where he could be jailed or killed for publicly admitting that he’s atheist #but he still goes around eating in his car during Ramadan wearing his thobe and qurta #I laugh with him but also like. boy. can’t wait to get you out of there #…so that you can also be annoyed that stores are closed on EASTER? gah #also hilarious that my dad has transformed into an even more devout Christian over the last 10-15 years #so growing up we maaayyybe went to church for Christmas Eve services but that’s it #he started going on Sundays when I was like 10-12 #but now he’s like a Sunday guy and also sometimes Wednesday guy plus bible study when he has time #meanwhile I’m over here thinking about how different it would be if I went to church half the time in childhood #and spent the other half with my mom who is a catholic-raised adamant atheist #who once got strict with me for saying ‘god’ something-or-other saying HE DOESNT EXIST DONT SAY THAT AROUND ME #people are… weird #anyway. #time to get dressed and eat breakfast and switch the litter #and maybe build my Easter basket from my dad #lol

Trying to go for a nice walk before work and someone started following me...

#i left my apartment and walked about half a block #i saw a man walking from the other direction towards the same corner as me #he got there first and just waited #so i crossed the street before i got there cuz he was giving weird vibes #it qas weird that he was just waiting but i figured maybe a coincidence so i quickly walked past #but then he crossed the street towards me #i had a head start and im a fast walker so i just kept going #we were in a pretty populated area around stores and stuff so i was just trying to stay around other people #i heard him call 'excuae me!' a couplw of times but i was not about to turn around or stop #so i just kept speed walking #I pulled out my phone to call someone just to have them on the line #because hed been following me for a couple blocks now #but of course no one picked up #but at that point i noticed he wasnt behind me anymore #but i didnt want to turn back or go back home. even though i want to hide in bed all day now #i didn't want him to end up following me home #and maybe he wasnt being malicious. but also i dont want to take any chances when it comes to this #a man following me. for blocks #its the middle of the damn day. i like to walk at night but... maybe i wont for a bit #im gonna take a different route home. fuck this #i dont thinkim overreacting. right? no #im a tiny afab person and a man started following me unprompted. yeah thats scary. im the right amount of scared. yeah #oh shit thats terrifying oh god #oh boy um thats spooky. okay im gonna welk a bit more and then uh. head home on a different route i guess #okay yeah okay bye

[orcelito]

I don't have a pic of the amogus rn but I Do have a pic of the board on Halloween

It's the simple things, sometimes, that makes a workplace tolerable

#speculation nation #meanwhile a store in a different city had their assistant manager messaging like #'STOP drawing unrelated things on the board! and STOP!!! making inappropriate shapes with the magnets!!!!!' #like let ppl live a lil god Damn #anyways i drew the small purple cat and the turtle. of course. #'days since no slay' is from slay/oat milk teenager. of course. #'days since someone called off' was started by a heavily exasperated co assistant manager #in theory if we can get the counter high enough we can have a pizza party or something #not entirely realistic tho lol #the thing with the 'who drew this' is APPARENTLY a cat. supposed to be. #with a mustache a frowny face and a chin. no nose. #the other cats are of varying quality but at least theyre recognizable as cats #idk who drew the dragon but it's rad as hell honestly

[absentlyabbie]

seriously, though. i work in higher education, and part of my job is students sending me transcripts. you'd think the ones who have the least idea how to actually do that would be the older ones, and while sure, they definitely struggle with it, i see it most with the younger students. the teens to early 20s crowd.

very, astonishingly often, they don't know how to work with .pdf documents. i get garbage phone screenshots, sometimes inserted into an excel or word file for who knows what reason, but most often it's just a raw .jpg or other image file.

they definitely either don't know how to use a scanner, don't have access to one, or don't even know where they might go for that (staples and other office supply stores sometimes still have these services, but public libraries always have your back, kids.) so when they have a paper transcript and need to send me a copy electronically, it's just terrible photos at bad angles full of thumbs and text-obscuring shadows.

mind bogglingly frequently, i get cell phone photos of computer screens. they don't know how to take a screenshot on a computer. they don't know the function of the Print Screen button on the keyboard. they don't know how to right click a web page, hit "print", and choose "save as PDF" to produce a full and unbroken capture of the entirety of a webpage.

sometimes they'll just copy the text of a transcript and paste it right into the message of an email. that's if they figure out the difference between the body text portion of the email and the subject line, because quite frankly they often don't.

these are people who in most cases have done at least some college work already, but they have absolutely no clue how to utilize the attachment function in an email, and for some reason they don't consider they could google very quickly for instructions or even videos.

i am not taking a shit on gen z/gen alpha here, i'm really not.

what i am is aghast that they've been so massively failed on so many levels. the education system assumed they were "native" to technology and needed to be taught nothing. their parents assumed the same, or assumed the schools would teach them, or don't know how themselves and are too intimidated to figure it out and teach their kids these skills at home.

they spend hours a day on instagram and tiktok and youtube and etc, so they surely know (this is ridiculous to assume!!!) how to draft a formal email and format the text and what part goes where and what all those damn little symbols means, right? SURELY they're already familiar with every file type under the sun and know how to make use of whatever's salient in a pinch, right???

THEY MUST CERTAINLY know, innately, as one knows how to inhale, how to type in business formatting and formal communication style, how to present themselves in a way that gets them taken seriously by formal institutions, how to appear and be competent in basic/standard digital skills. SURELY. Of course. RIGHT!!!!

it's MADDENING, it's insane, and it's frustrating from the receiving end, but even more frustrating knowing they're stumbling blind out there in the digital spaces of grown-up matters, being dismissed, being considered less intelligent, being talked down to, because every adult and system responsible for them just

ASSUMED they should "just know" or "just figure out" these important things no one ever bothered to teach them, or half the time even introduce the concepts of before asking them to do it, on the spot, with high educational or professional stakes.

kids shouldn't have to supplement their own education like this and get sneered and scoffed at if they don't.

Misc. photos from the past year or so ~

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. napping bapy boye sneeping on his own foot as if it were a pillow #2. The little primrose that I have seems to bloom sporadically all year around as long as I bring it inside and don't let it freeze #in the winter. This was a flower that came up randomly like mid november lol #3. Rainbow where you can see a little bit of a second rainbow near the bottom of it :0 #4. CHILDREN.... love to see them..... #5. Halloween Candy ranking tierlist. not important enough to post on it's own. so throwing it in with one of these I guess lol #I am also not really a candy person at all and prefer bready stuff like cakes rather than chocolate bars (if I even have to have sweets #at ALL which usually I prefer savory food). I suspect the apple is controversial but.. I do love apples .... huzzah #actually am having applle and peanut butter snack right now as I'm writing this lol #6. Various bowls/cups/etc. that I got from a store at COMPLETELY different times like.. years apart from each other #yet at some point realized that they all mostly match in paint color and seem to be part of the same pattern #But I totally didnt make that connection until a few years ago when I was putting up dishes. I just bought them all invidually because it's #like 'oh cool! a cat' *1 year later* 'oh cool! a cat!' etc. lol.. I guess it must be a popular design if it's been around being sold that #long. #7. carne asada burrito and matcha bubble tea... oughhgh.... again one of my very rare meals where I actually go and get something.. #probably my favorite meal currently. Something about the Chronic Anemia makes me crave beef burritos madly despite only having one #maybe twice a year or so ghjbhj.. plus the beans.... onions.... many of my Diet Forbidden foods... Also of course the little aishas #are there.... somehow they shall split the meal together even though it's like 10x bigger than their bodies.. they are also hungry #and vastly anemic... huzzah to them... #8. I've had this shirt for a long time but it fits very weird so I can never find a way to use it in outfits?? But I recently had #an appointment where a doctor needed to be able to look at my back and it's one of the only actual Shirts that I have (mostly i just own #long robes or tunics or jumper dress type of things that would be hard to lift up or etc. like... I dont even own a single normal 't-shirt' #or anyting aside from one giant tshirt that I sleep in in the summer lol.) So I wore this there.. I forget how much I love the pictures on #it.. how pleasant... little hummingbird... AND I think one of the flowers is supposed to be columbine ... ! #photo diary

Anyone else remember when orange juice cartons used to be 64 oz. instead of only 52? :(

#i used to be able to put them in my plastic handi-holder to make them easier to hold and pour #but now there's so much space around the edges they won't even stay in there #you can still use it with the 59 oz size some store brands have #although it doesn't fit as snugly #but not with 52 oz. #that's a whole cup and a half less than they used to be #and of course the price never lowered to reflect this #honestly i'd rather pay more and have the old size back #because the smaller it is the more often you have to go back to the store for another one #and of course the juice is always in the furthest back corner of the store #hell tropicana used to have a catalog full of stuff you could buy for different amounts of cut out barcodes from their cartons #which was a good incentive to keep buying their brand! #my mom had a boxful of them in a kitchen drawer which she never had a chance to redeem #those were the days #being rewarded to buy a company's product? #maybe they should try that again #they could even do something simple like once you've collected a certain amount of proofs of purchase you'd get a coupon for a free carton #ALSO #I thought i noticed last year that florida's natural oj was different #they changed it from all florida oj not from concentrate to a mix #of that and mexican from concentrate oj #it was more expensive but it was far and away the best so i'd get it occasionally #not as good now #it's still a little lighter and less acidic that other brands #but it has a weaker flavor now #apparently there's an orange shortage due to the extreme weather of recent years #stupid global warming #this is why we can't have nice things

gn reader - feminine clothing (jewelry: earrings, necklace)

Thinking about your rich boyfriend…

Rich boyfriend – who buys you clothes and jewelry every time you have a date, even when you tell him you feel bad receiving them all – that you have nowhere to wear such nice things – that a simple date is really more than enough. 

Rich boyfriend – who ignores you with a smile and shake of his head, asking you how you expect him to stop when you’re just the absolute cutest? Looking at him with those moon-big eyes, humble crinkle between your brows, and your lip tucked nervously between your teeth to keep from gawking. 

Rich boyfriend – who orders for you at all the restaurants he takes you to because he knows you’ve never been anywhere like it. Looking so adorably lost in your seat, flushed when staring at the menu written in a language you can’t read – knowing even if you could, you still wouldn't know what any of it meant. You’re so, so, so precious – eyes peeled like you’re a pet who’s just been allowed at the table for the first time.

Rich boyfriend – who plays four instruments, speaks five languages, went to an Ivy League institution, and will inherit his entire family’s business being the spoiled only child that he is.

Rich boyfriend – who just loves the messy household you grew up in – loves how you and your siblings interact with each other, looking like a bundle of pups all crammed in the same cage at a pet store – how your childhood bedroom is the size of his closet – filled with all sorts of trinkets you’ve kept growing up – stuff that would usually wind up in the trash at his house – polaroids of you as a teenager, past boyfriends in kissing booths, prom pictures, concert tickets, and old rusty friendship lockets. 

It’s all so… He scoffs. The word for it escapes him.

Suppose he doesn’t quite recognize the pricelessness of sentimental value as opposed to something actually sellable – but he finds it cute that you do. 

Though, it bothers him to some degree as well… that you would value an old pair of earrings gifted you by your grandmother instead of the actual antique diamond pair he’d procured for you. After all, one was a real historic piece worth a fortune a Russian duchess had snuck into England during the war, and the other was old junk made by a noname jeweler.

Rich boyfriend – who chokes on his spit when you sit him down and tell him you want to break up – who thinks he’s misheard – that you’re joking, playing some uncultured game he’s never been exposed to, some ill-taste past-time only poor people do to escape their bitter reality. 

But you’re not joking… 

You’re breaking up with him…You.. You… broke trash of worker-class scum… you’re breaking up with him?

You give him back all his gifts in a cardboard box – telling him you’re grateful but that you truly don’t have any use for such things – that you think your worlds are too different to coincide. 

Of course, you refrain from telling him you think he’s a classist snob. You have a feeling it would have gone completely over his head if you’d tried anyway, so there really was no point to it.

Rich ex-boyfriend – who’s never been told no in his entire life…

Rich ex-boyfriend – who buys your street and plans on scrapping it to make brand new mansions in a project he dubs “cleaning up the slums” – evicting and putting you and your entire family out of the home you’d spent your entire life growing up in.

Rich ex-boyfriend – who thinks you’re crawling back to him when you schedule an appointment at his office – who thinks you’re going to come in with bleary wet eyes and grovel like the lowly peasant you are – let him save you from poverty and homelessness, make you his charity case – his pretty diamond in the rough who’s never quite able to wash all the coal off.

Rich ex-boyfriend – who trashes that same office when you leave after having given him the address to the pawnshop you sold the one pearl necklace you’d kept as a token of your relationship – telling him he should feel free to go down there and get it back – that you’re using the money to buy a better house and you just wanted to come and thank him for that. 

Of course, you wanted to slap him too – spit on his tie or maybe just take a piss on his desk – but you left it at that.

Rich ex-boyfriend – whose next move is to buy your family business, who hires a private eye to dig up dirt on you and all your family, burying you in fines from age-old petty crimes, gets you kicked from your scholarship.

Rich ex-boyfriend – who goes to that pawnshop and reports the pearl necklace as a stolen item and has the police arrest you. Spinning a story about how he thought you were this humble sweet thing, only for you to rob him behind his back.

Rich ex-boyfriend – who comes to visit you in the custody suite where you sit cooped up with all the other wretched mutts on the cold concrete floors – scolding you for making him come down to a dirty police precinct, for having him breathe the same air as all the lowlives held up there.

Rich ex-boyfriend – who tells you he’ll make it all go away.

He’ll drop the charges, let your family keep their house – or buy them an even better one, whichever you prefer – he’ll even promote your family business and pay for all your siblings' education – he’ll give you everything. 

Anything you want, it’s yours.

But he owns you.
