im sorry for still thinking about them like half a year after the episode PLEASE
as an american i literally love to eat hamburger drink huge beverage and purchase rock and roll disk. it's all true...
There’s a regular at the fabric superstore. She’s at least 80 years old, and she just got back into sewing after giving it up for 40 years. We’ll call her Irma.
I love Irma.
Irma is constantly surprised by the newfangled sewing gadgets our store sells. Today she bought some extra-fine glass-head pins and a magnetic pincushion. As I’m ringing her purchases up, she tells me very seriously, “did you know, if you’re careful, you can sew RIGHT OVER those pins? You don’t need to take them out!”
I told her that I liked that you can’t accidentally melt the head of the glass pins with your iron, and she nodded. “They used to all be like that, but times changed.”
I love old sewing machines and asked what kind of machine she has, and she goes, “Oh, it’s an old Singer Featherweight that my husband bought me when we were first married. It’s probably not worth anything anymore, but the thing sews fine. Have you seen the ones those girls over there–” indicating the sewing machine sub-store in my location “–have? Those things go in every direction and the needle always comes to the top when you stop sewing! Imagine how handy that is!”
I mention that I used to sew on my grandmother’s Featherweight but now there’s a intra-family war about who owns Grandma’s Featherweight and so no one gets to use it. It’s genuinely the best portable straight-stitch machine I’ve ever used.
I warn her to never let anyone tell her that Featherweight isn’t worth something. “I know, I miss my husband and it’s always going to have a place in my heart, just like your grandma’s.”
“I mean, Irma, there’s that, but they’re also worth a really notable amount of money. The Singer Featherweight is really financially valuable. I almost never see them for sale around here for less than about $400, and that’s in bad condition.”
“It’s a good thing my husband’s dead, honey, because if you told him that he managed to buy a sewing machine that’s worth more in 2021 than he bought it for in 1950, well, he’d be so smug that I just wouldn’t be able to tolerate driving home with him.”
ok, its bullshit how no ones talking about what just happened to Naomi Wu. A Chinese lesbian whos openly dating a Uyghur woman suddenly faces police harassment and is being actively silenced by the CCP and no western media site says a word?
if youre queer or fuck it if you care about queer people and what we face every day under the ccp you should spread this. the world should know whats happening to Noami Wu.
yea i get what you mean. was feeling kinda upset about the news yesterday, i’ll try not to word more posts like that <3
that makes sense! we all get upset sometimes absolutely no hard feelings <3
(sorry if i sounded super hostile from the swearing lol i really wasn't, i just say them a lot)
no hard feelings <3
Pick a bottle any bottle lol
I recently read an article about a therapy group for depressed people who had all attempted suicide at some point. The breakthrough question for them was, “If your goal was to be just as miserable as possible, what would you do?” Most of them listed things like not getting enough sleep, or isolating themselves from everyone… the list goes on, but the point is, they listed things they already do. But now they saw those “coping mechanisms” for what they really were: things that were actively making their condition worse.
I read that article at 2:00 AM, asked myself, am I TRYING to be miserable tomorrow? And it was easier than usual to put my phone down and fall asleep. Even my intrusive “lying down” thoughts about meaninglessness and existential dread were easier to suppress when I framed them as things I’d think about to purposefully make myself feel as awful as possible.
Fuck that is helpful
im obsessed with every "feferi is evil and terrible" take because like she is a 13 year old. shes one of the only characters who dies and stays dead at 13 and never comes back later. the only time she did she got retconned out. "shes bad at relationships" she's in middle school
she got murdered by her ex boyfriend can you give her a break
ever since i made this post there's been lots of comments about like "Feferi is fine but her beforan version is not" but like. i don't know how to tell you this. That isn't the Feferi we met in the comic. We don't even meet the Beforan empress beyond like maybe three lines from Meenah. I don't see people ever really mad at Meenah for what the Condesce did & does. Why's only Feferi get the rough stick here. She's a seventh grader who was being trained to go fight an adult woman and presumably die? 😭? like what are you mad at her for ...
huge shoutout to the guy at the bar who said “i like your dress maam” and when i was like. i’m a man but thank you! he was like “oh shit i like your dress homie” i love you forever
I theorize the reason "bottoms" appear more prevalent than "tops" on these types of spaces is that it is simply easier to be funny about being a bottom than about being a top without sounding like a sex offender
"uuuuu 🥺 pls cock me aaaaaaaa *runs into wall like Wile E Coyote running into his own tunnel painting*" easy as shit comedy
"I want to put my DICK in someone" whoa dude calm down, take it easy
“I want to put my
DICK in someone” whoa dude calm
down, take it easy
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
