@andtheirlovewasrenewed submitted: Here’s that bug I was talking about, the junk bug!
Yes!!! I love them!!! For those curious, a while back @andtheirlovewasrenewed asked me what a bug of this description might be via IM, and I told them it’s a lacewing larva! There are certain species that carry debris around on their backs as camouflage both from predators and from the prey they are hunting. They’re called junk bugs! Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

For real tho health freaks who scream about how sugar and salt will kill us all and try to push for restrictions on things like candy and chips for SNAP recipients or politicians who try from time to time to replace food stamps all together and give out Government Approved Staples like bread and peanut butter and Government Cheese are gonna kill a whole lotta sick and disabled people like
Diabetics
POTS sufferers
Hypotensives
People with peanut allergies
People with celiac disease or wheat allergies
The lactose intolerant
People who can't eat solid food
People who are undernourished for any reason and need all the calories they can pack on
So-called "picky eaters" who can't tolerate certain tastes and textures without getting violently ill
A myriad of other human conditions that cannot be neatly tallied into categories because the human body and human experience is vast and infinitely variable
But I don't think ableds really care about us and our health like they like to claim so they can harass us about it, do you?

Junk Bots by hex bugs??? This is so cute, I'm going back to get more tomorrow, there was this 10€ blind box and another blind 'dumpster' which has four bots for 25€ (planning on getting it and reviewing it as well)
Wished there was a checklist and proper instructions to put the little guy together, as there's "extra" trash for the aesthetic and I can't figure out which is which.
It came in this little trash can, which has a rubbery chain and little plastic lock securing it, once that's taken off the lid doesn't snap shut easily.
The little skateboard has functional wheels, and he has articulation at the shoulder, one wrist, his hips, and 'ankles' although some of the pieces feel like they'll rip/break if you twist them too much.
I got Ollie, who has a boombox for a head and a computer with a fan in it as a body, one of his shoes is a converse, and the other is an iron! Both his arms are sort of generic pipe/robot-esque designs.
Size wise Ollie is about the same size as an adult Sylvanian family/calico critter figure, maybe between the adult and child size. He also makes a decent sized toy/doll for Rainbow high.
I wish it came with a collectors guide! Looking online does give me what appears to be a line up?
Over all love and will get more, even just to see how mix and match they are!!

made a junk journal out of..junk :) and decorated it. will seal it tomorrow 🥰
more info on journal below the cut
some more pics of the journal itself
used a strip of paper to bind a mix of scrap paper and scrapbooking paper together & the cover is just an old cereal box. basically just using what I've got! this is completely no-sew and only uses paper and glue (and like, washi tape but optional!) i cannot wait to work in it 💚🩷💚
