This.

Having now found my ring sizing things I am discovering that there is some regret about having relatively slender fingers.

(Most of the rings that have really caught my eye are too big for even my thumb.)

how is this still available. someone please freaking buy it. wtf.

Sadness. Found my ring size things, but a 9...

...not even for a thumb ring.

*also hates fast fashion*

...and I thought it was bad before. Is so much worse now. By orders of magnitude.

Although it really drove home the point of how much worse clothing quality has gotten.

Thank you.

(I started trying to replace the ones from high school (which have finally reached "too transparent to wear" status, and... the first attempt at doing so lasted barely a year.)

*was So Frustrated*

...if I find out I can wear a 9...

*still hasn't shaken loose the right kind of moment to see if they still have ring sizing things somewhere*

*needs leggings that won't fall apart if you look at them funny*

Bonus if they have pockets.

Behold, the shiny cover for the shiny new UK edition of Raven & Reindeer!

*can imagine the feel of said fluff*

A basic organizer for your desk designed to hold a bullet journal or planner (5.5x8 or 6x9 fit best, but larger notebooks will probably work as well!) It has a slot in the back for a journal, four containers for pens and markers, a smaller slot designed for stickers, postcards, or sticky notes, and three cubbies in the front that can fit paperclips, washi tape, stickers, or anything small you need to keep organized!

A front view, showing off some of my pretty journal stuff & stickers.

Empty, you can really see the gradient. It's all sorts of shades of pink, from very pale to magenta.

The back makes the gradient super super clear! there might be a few that are almost peachy-pink in there

I have 14 days left before surgery, so we're closing up the shop on the 20th to make me actually heal. (booo)

Today I'm trying to list all the "I will definitely put that up some day" stuff in the office!

Starting with four new colors of planner organizers. LIKE PINK!

The needs we're receiving at Adopt a Rent today are huge needs, most of whom are for people who still need January, February, and March rent.

Can you help us cover even part of one rent?

Psssssssttt… who wants some really gorgeous kyanite? wyrdingstudios.com/collections/...

Could I ask for that number? - a web search is getting me nowhere.

...although I am not finding a phone number on a web search.

Flinging this out there because I remembered it and went looking because we have 2 trees that Really Need to Go and housemate should not do the thing.

And neither should I.

I don't know the song that involves "something something loveshack" well enough to parody it with a shift to "gtf off substack" but now I want someone else to.

or I want to find the song my brain is trying to parody that I don't know and get to know it well enough to do so myself.

It’s dangerous to go alone.
Take this.

(All of that. I also miss music being sort of. Baked in. To All the Time Life.)

So fluff! (Hopefully the fur to cat ratio is less intense than it looks?)

...and some part of my brain may have been aware of the kind of mood I am in today which might be why I started with a cat picture.

*is very tired and very sad and feeling Bilbo's bread quote again*

(I've been thinking a lot about the mindsets that lead to it being somehow okay that people starve. Or are unhoused. And that people have to crowdfund medical care. And... so many other things. Especially because there always seems to be money for War and Bailouts.)

I wish there was an easy way to fix the "suffering is noble" problem.

I also wish there was a way to fix the attitude of "Well, I suffered, so you have to, too!" (Especially when the person speaking automatically assumes they suffered more or that their suffering is more valid.)

Two grey and white kitties curled up together on a fuzzy grey mat supported by a pillow wrapped in a penguin cover, a denuded piece of cat tree behind them. The smaller one looks a bit dozy, while the larger looks at the camera with an expression somewhere in between "why" and "sister feels bad, be nice."

Sometimes the timeline just requires a cat photo.

...really dislike that one of the create options on Instagram now is "ai."

And yes, I know there are other reasons Instagram is problematic.

*encourages/loves*

*has been tempted by many, but...*

And I really do need more rings for... brain/hand comfort reasons? (Hands don't feel right without 4-6 and right now I only have 2.)
