Anyways food that requires no prep/ very little prep to be edible is accessibility. If you supplied me with a weeks worth of veggies I have to cut up and boil and season and fucking stir fry, and pasta and rice (...) I'm still going without food for majority of my meals. Unless you personally want to prepare 3 meals a day for me you better shut up about me relying on frozen / instant / pre cut (etc) food.

I keep being just the biggest whiniest complainer these past few days and I need to get a lid on it but also between the constant anxiety and exhaustion my body is feeling, the demands of work and a new semester, my extremely cruel and somehow also bewildered inner monologue running at the speed of light at all times, and the ever-present loneliness in a sea of constant change it is all very crushing!

#I can say it now because I feel a little better but I am simply going to burst into tears #and then I am going to burst into tears at the fact that I have burst into tears because it is proof of how stupid and fragile and weak I a #and how much I am doing everything wrong #I don’t clean I don’t cook I don’t exercise a million people help me all the time and I simply find it all too much and I have to lie down #and scream #and then I am constantly self-obsessing and self-analyzing #Disgusting behavior!!!!!! #in the words of Olivia Rodrigo in ballad of a home school girl #I know I know I KNOW #(my favorite moment on guts lol) #it’s what it sounds like in my head all the time

YOU THINK I'LL SHOW UP ? HAH—

#get somebody else to do it I got plans #jokes on her when I simply don't clock in at the ass-crack of dawn on Wednesday #this wouldn't be a problem if she just TEXTED ME BACK #IT'S AS IF SHE YEETS HER PHONE INTO THE FUCKING OCEAN AFTER SENDING OUT THESE GROUP MESSAGES #LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MA'AM ???? #a.txt #also let it be known I'm taking my laptop with me next week so I'll be able to keep writing despite not being home #the smutty literature will cook as I leisure with British boy toy idgaf

literally why do i ever buy a burger. We Have Burgers At Home. They Are Nicer

#post inspired by how i just cooked a burger it was delicious #this isn't like deeply held i understand completely why one would want less-home-accessible burger experiences #(eg very crispy fried onions [annoying to make imo]‚ exotic toppings one would not think of‚ important gimmicks for a gimmick occasion) #and / or be hungry for burger and unable to make own burger for a variety of physical and circumstantial reasons #but me personally i hate novelty and difference and usually can stand up long enough for slicing and cast iron pan usage #so. a personal note for me. just cook burger it is nice. stop being disappointed by local burgers that are simply cooked less well #box opener #frankly a lot of this is that if i make fancy burger at home i don't then need to enter a negotiation re: whether i can refuse cheese #i like cheese but i like to be able to opt in to it. also frankly i prefer my usual garlic aioli-and-avocado substitution more #it serves a cheese purpose (fats‚ enhanced savories) so i consider it a reasonable exchange #but places with fancy burger are soooo offended by my disinterest in their four slices of swiss.

Referring to your recent post, would love to see some of the fun things you’ve bought! You have the best taste 😊

Aw thank you.

So the main categories of things have been home stuff and fashion stuff. I do have a tag (of course) but haven't posted everything so to summarize...

Home stuff

Living room: The swan table (an icon, a queen, the inspiration for the room), the insane green velvet chair (we love her, gotta keep it eclectic), snake rug (hiss hiss), a fundamentally impractical sofa (Ikea, concessions had to be made somewhere. I'm going to restuff to make it look more fluffy and expensive). I'm keeping my vintage curio cabinet, 1960's referencing 30's circular bar cart, black arched lamp, and big rubber plant. The inspiration is somewhere between this 1930's Thorne miniature room and hummusbird. I need some paintings, a little table for under the window to display a great vase (got this one in ivory, tbc if it's the right size), and some big new throw pillows (I'm thinking dusky pink). Oh also I'm getting a fish to go in the bookcase (I wanted a white Betta but my dad has said that's a bad idea and suggested a gold fish instead).

Kitchen: An oval marble topped cast iron bistro style table. Keeping my black bistro chairs (2x) and will also use 2 of my armless ghost chairs (like these). Likely to get a small floating island to get a little more counter space. Also bought an insane copper kettle ala my man Rajiv recently.

Main bedroom: I've got a new headboard for my bed (this one), I'm getting rid of the wardrobe in there (using the one in the 2nd bedroom) and will replace it with a vintage dressing table and mirror (I do like this one but would rather not spend that given... everything else) to display my great great grandmother's silver mirror, brush, etc. Need some big Euro shams and perpetually looking for a navy woven blanket that's big enough (I want it like, almost duvet sized).

2nd bedroom: Currently is an office / video game room, turning into a proper 2nd bed. I'll use my meh existing bed, need bedside tables, maybe a new desk chair.

Fashion stuff

It's been a lot of big skirts (my love the Prada one, a really full white canvas-y one, this crazy pink one, a beige cashmere Theory one), a set of heavy ribbed tops with high necks in black and browns (for autumn, this is one of them), a few cropped cardigans (can't find any specific ones that I've bought right now, but short enough to wear with the skirts), a totally sheer cream colored top (that is proving surprisingly versatile already), two cheap Zara wrap vests that I'm waiting to arrive (one in cream and one in black, we'll see the quality when they get here), a Victorian gold charm bracelet (+ a charm of a monkey holding a pearl), a pair of really gorgeous silver and mother pearl earrings from the 50s, some rag and bone soft leather mules, some baby blue Mary Janes, and a set of tiny kitten heels that I really like but am not sure I'm keeping (they're a little narrow but I think I could stretch them). I think there's more but if I think too much about it I'll be stressed (rip my budget). Pro tip: Laura Riley has an incredible fashion newsletter that rounds up what's new and what's on sale -- I've gotten almost everything I've bought on 50%+ off.

#the sofa is the gransel natural with no arms #yes you heard right #no arms #the gold fish is because i kill things #also bettas are apparently too high level for me #(my dad had a tropical fish breeding situation in his youth something i only found out last week) #so anyway RIP my budget #truly been a few weeks #gonna be a monk after this #batch cooking and sitting at home with my crocheting #and of course i will post photos once it's all in place #just waiting for the old things to be collected #I'm like... it's all making me feel more like myself and everyone says this is a period of change #ill find out more about myself #blah blah (I know they're right but like... i would rather have been happy and simply not known lol) #so i am trying to give myself a kittle ~grace~ with this #after all what is the point of money if not to spend it #oh also i need a grey big skirt for fall #then I'm basically done #maybe a black one too... #s shops

how did I forgor Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) when I had to list my favourite movies here recently

#seriously if you haven't seen it it's a ridiculous piece of work #and I can't believe it's only 120 minutes long #ok let me be a nerd about this movie for a minute: #it was like cooking in the director's brain for literal decades and that's why it has an insane amount of worldbuilding built in #you don't have to see the previous 3 mad max movies to somehow also understand this world and everything that's going on #and yet it barely takes any time to sit you through long boring exposition chunks? #Like it RESPECTS the audience's intelligence enough to be like 'you guys are smart you will figure it out now let's get moving' #NOTHING is wasted in this movie and you pick up new cool things every time you watch #almost all of it was done practically including the vehicles and stunts INCLUDING stuff like the pole cats on the cars in the final act #in order to make the cars and props they had to build most things from a scrap yard instead of running to home depot for new parts #Every single vehicle and character down to the smallest war boy had their own backstory they made up #the only other movie I feel like i can compare this wonderful weirdness to is maybe the first 3 lotr movies #In terms of the insane work that went into it behind the scenes and the dedication to making the world come alive with so much artistry #and practical effects and years of worldbuilding and writing and the bizarre ways they had the crews bond behind the scenes #also fun fact: the director was also the guy behind Babe the pig movie and Happy Feet hahaha he's a very eclectic director to say the least #anyways now every time I see a movie that's 2.5+ hours long I'm like if Mad Max FR could be 120 mins long why can't YOU be 120 min long? #Like sorry but there's no excuse anymore. just simply get better at telling the story in 2 hours or less my guys #p

so I’m at my aunt’s place for the 4th (lesbian, softball player, former PE teacher, marred to a woman with the same name as her, goes by ‘beer’, has an above ground pool) and the number of buck wild Chicago accents I have heard i s2g

#the letter T simply does not exist anymore #beer was so proud she a) remembered I’m a vegetarian and b) had options for me #like auntie beer I am fine I have all these sides #(true midwest: you make so much food your brother goes home with 2 steaks; a pizza and a skillet to cook the steaks) #thoughts? thoughts #Chicago stories

If you're gonna genderbend a stinky twinky gamer guy the least you can do is keep her greasy and unwashed

#I honestly don't like the word genderbend at all I am simply using the language of my adversaries here #Someone genderbend a greasy pathetic guy and suddenly shes really into home-making and sewing and cooking and cleaning and fashion like... #That is NOT her that is a demon wearing her flesh to deprive humanity of what it needs most (nasty women) #She would be wearing a never washed jacket and sweatpants she would NOT wear a pristine clean white sundress and wedges casually #People these days don't care about unwashed women. All they care about is aesthetically pleasing and pure pussy. Pathetic. Lame. Weak. #Sorry.. Sorry #I don't like saying anything even slightly critical online so I didn't make this post- God did #The het yusa art where shes..... I don't think she bathed throughout the whole knights of ha/noi arc give her the grease back now please pl #Shes dirty shes gross shes mentally ill to the point of physical debilitation shes a social recluse she doesn't own shampoo #LET HER BE !!! LET HER BE UGLY !!! PLEASE !!!!! I NEED UGLY WOMEN !!! #Sorry an angel wrote that not me

Do you have tips on how to save money to afford concert tickets?

i'm just very disciplined/frugal with money in general alkdjfalkdf sorry to disappoint. but one tip i can say that i use is I keep "funds" for things, and every month i put a percentage of my paycheck into those funds. it's never a lot that i put in, but a little bit over time grows into something very helpful. One is for concert tickets, and i'm always putting money into it. so when the time comes that an artist springs a tour on me, i at least have some put away to offset the cost of a ticket. If not, like with taylor this time, then I just go for the cheap seats. My era's tour ticket was $95 which i got LUCKILY at face value, which was what I was able to afford without going into a little debt. as much as i wanted better ones, that's just part of me disciplining myself. that's all that i could afford at the time and that's that!

#the general tips are all true though like the ones everyone tells you #cook at home as often as you can #pay off your cc's as fast as you can #make a budget for yourself and try to live within your means like thats truly it. that's the boring secret #all that shit is true and there's no secret formula to the everyday person's road to financial stability #this is of course given that you're not burdened with children or colossal debt or suffering years of unemployment but #i think that goes without saying as those are not simply financial frugality issues but societal/systemic issues most often

I think with Dracula I've reached the saturation point of loving it so much that I've ruined my ability to watch any adaptation like I simply have too many strong opinions about all aspects of the story no one who isn't me could come up with a version that hits all my adaptational preferences. I've flown too close to the sun.

#listened to a good chunk of Murray Mysteries again whilst I was cooking my course of a medieval feast #and while I am always grateful for 'it was Jonathan who was bitten' truthers it doesn't make any more sense to exclude Jonathan than Mina #'he's got trauma' fellas you treat trauma differently when the threat is ongoing vs. past and away #*anyway #i could get behind maybe lets keep Jonathan out of like. the dangerous legwork where we might meet the count #but why can't he make phonecalls for the group like??? #besties you're literally just recommending the good ole Victorian rest cure like yeah sit home alone and feel excluded #while you know we're risking our lives :) this will help you heal #like all of these characters should know that this is a bad idea #also murray mysteries you know I think you guys are simply the best dracula adaptation #but where the fuck was Jonathan's visceral despair at realizing his abuser was back and had his claws in him again #like I know you guys were talented enougn to get him there why didn't you

Extravagant living is overrated. The true goal of my life is a quiet feeling of content at the end of a nice day. A soft morning with a good breakfast. An afternoon filled with cooking, the smell of spices hanging in the air. Birdsong and the sound of people trickling in through the windows. A gentle breeze, fresh air. The simple joy of a newly clean house, faint chemical smells on your hands. Muscles quietly aching after a day of work. A good book, the smell of tea.

And someone to share it with.

#poem #poetry #happy life #happiness #aesthetic #homes #love #simple life #cooking #cleaning #and tea #that someone could be your cat #or dog #live the life the way you want to #dont let anyone tell you how to love #or what to want #living simply and quietly is not defeat
