The snow has finally melted in my hometown, and I could finally begin picking up trash again! I'm always kind of nervous in the beginning because the most littered spots are also the ones with the most passersbys. To combat this nervousness, started telling myself that Giovanni Potage would think that trash picking is cool, and therefore I too am cool for doing it. This has genuinely helped me continue a hobby I genuinely enjoy, and also got me inspired to doodle these:

My headcannon is that he would totally try to bedazzle his trashpicker (and use it as a weapon)

The first comment I've gotten this year while picking up trash:

Bonus: my friend @Ollivelli's version!

#epithet erased #giovanni potage #trash picking #original art #i sometimes collect soda tabs while trash picking #I'm always really hyped to see soda cans because of this

PSA: It's Spring, and therefor the time of year that rich people start yeeting perfectly good shit on the street. Keep your peepers peeled, and may you be blessed with a bounty of curbside scratch 'n dent treasures... ✨✨✨

#just be sure to check for bugs and sanitize stuff before you bring it inside! 👍✅ #[and for the love of god: DO NOT TAKE MATRESSES] #I've found so much stuff for free in the last few weeks i felt that this tag in my last post needed its own post to spread the word #thrifting #trash picking #reduce reuse recycle #dumpster diving

I live in a town, which my mother grew up in, that is a suburb that was the first planned community in the US. We were reminiscing and randomly remembered Trash Day.

Once a year, during the summer, the local trash company used to have a big trash day, no limits on what could be thrown out. Other days you had to pay extra.

In the town my mom grew up in, this used to occur up til I graduated high school and then it stopped for some reason. Maybe 80s-90s? Even though we didn’t live there for most of the time I was a kid, it was a night where traditionally families would go walking around neighborhoods picking through the (sometimes entire yards of) trash.

We loved that night. We’d go have dinner at grandma’s and then go trash picking. Old radios and TVs and other miscellaneous old media, books (lots of full sets of encyclopedias), furniture, and miscellaneous. We’d drag a little red wagon behind us to hold what we wanted. Or Dad would have us stay there and guard what he wanted while he got the car if it was big.

One time I picked up a golden swirled bowling ball inscribed with the name “Shirley,” and Shirley was my bowling ball for years as I bowled in youth leagues. By high school she was too light for me, so I went out on trash night looking for bowling balls and found another one to use as my primary ball, while Shirley was for pickups.

But it was legitimately like a town event, almost better than Halloween or the Forth of July in some ways. A lot of stuff went home with folks who wanted it, and if you picked up a TV and got it home and it didn’t work, hey, just toss it to your curb and go see if you find another. We got a tv to use for video games this way.

A high school senior tradition was the girls playing flag football, and homecoming week, the night before the game, the senior class would TP houses of the rival teams, and one tradition was painting a toilet green and leaving it on someone’s lawn. Some senior would always make sure to grab a toilet over the summer from trash day to save for the job.

Scrappers loved that night, too.

Is this something that other folks have had in their towns? Or was it unique to mine?

"Yagami Light as a youtuber would probably plagiarise" WRONG Yagami Light is insanely intelligent and looks down on literally every single other human person, he would rather stab himself in the eye than using the works of someone else - someone who can't be anything but beneath him. Pre-Death Note youtuber!Light would make long-ass videos about Everything Wrong With Society with completely unhinged takes about how xyz small innocuous thing is responsible for gang violence with numbers* to back it up.

"Light would plagiarise" get the fuck out of here.

*numbers which he completely twists to his own bias - without even knowing it because he thinks way too highly of himself

#imagine thinkinig yagami light - self-proclaimed god and arbiter of justice - would ever stoop! #to passing someone else's work as his own!!! #to him it would be like if he picked up trash off the side of the road and said 'look what i made'. girl please #blue fandom ramblings #death note #i am going to Entertain op's premise and read the rest of the post now but #i had to get this out of the way first

Some things I've found this week!

I never collected bottle caps as a kid, but might start now just to have something to collect. I was originally planning on throwing the reflector away but it still reflects so I didn't see a reason to do so

Welcome home

#artists on tumblr #cw blood #i really like drawing wings if it wasn't obvious #drawing has been rough lately though #all the A-I trash going around is so depressing to see #please pick up literally any tool in your hand and create #shape something with your own hands #breathe life into something #it doesn't need to look perfect and polished and photorealistic #literally anything any person has ever drawn with their own hands #has more value than every algorithm generated garbage put together #a vent doodle drawn in the math notebook of a 13 yo girl has infinitely more value #than any stolen blendered together soulless algorithm “creation” #we're humans we create #so just #create #with your own hands and your own ideas

WIPping Faeries

'How to Save a Faerie' is filled with crushing despair, a hangover, a faerie, trash picking, and accidental busking. It's what I'm working on this week.

Ah, relief! I finally had a chance to write a story that’s been trying to scratch its way out of my head since late 2020. I have been far too busy. This story started as a dream that went stagnant. I’ve been frustrated lately because the story I had for a deadline wasn’t working. I took a nap and woke up knowing I had to finally finish “How to Save a Faerie.” It was the time. Super small…

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on “autistic minecraft girlies” to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a children’s video game.

#i am begging this website. BEGGING it. to stop acting like building codes are state oppression #and please stop reducing blue collar jobs to 'so easy any handyman could do it with a youtube video' #that's how people fucking die #i didn't spend five years learning how to do my job safely to watch people online tell me it could've just been a course in high school #i know that this is like. a minority minority opinion and not really worth getting worked up over #but it's so annoying to see supposed leftists denigrating blue collar jobs like this #same poster also opined that we won't need garbagemen #because 'if the trash is bothering people they'll figure out a way to clean it without having to pick it up' #like what??? does that even fucking mean???? #construction

humans are beautiful and i hope someday everyone can see that were not a parasite. were not destroyers and killers and polluters by nature We help each other. We help other species. We continue to fight for better rights and better treatment of others We sing together. We cook together. We create art and traditions and languages and cultures. We save the last bite of our favourite food to share with our friends. We are lovely!

#personal #just. i love seeing people #i love people watching #i love seeing someone smile when they get ice cream #or someone get excited that their fav book is at the store #or when someone picks up a piece of trash that isnt theirs and throws it away #we change the world in big ways by doing little things #we are so amazing ! and i cant ever get over that

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (sorry if it has) but who's your favorite animatronic?

Here’s a handful of my top faves! Monty is probably my absolute favourite

Foxy I was obsessed with when I was younger, Ballora I always found to be very creepy/pos, and Helpy is my best friend
