It is going off today, let us tell you. It seems 2023 is the new 2008 (or indeed the new 1989), because it seems we are amid The Great Emo Beatdown of 2023, featuring two true titans of the genre: #mcr and #fall out boy, no less. The news in brief: Frank Iero, of My Chemical Romance fame, has launched his brand spankin' rootin'-tootin' official online megastore. This megastore has, in reality, proven to be a digital garage sale featuring a, uh, copious number of gloves amongst its plunder. At the same time, fellow emo behemoths Fall Out Boy have released a cover of Billy Joel's No.1 hit single from 1989, "We Didn't Start the Fire" that runs through a list of proper nouns ripped from the historic headlines. FOB, have, kindly, updated the list for the years 1989-2023. For those of us still sporting our hair jet black, our Vans jet black, our torn jeans jet black, and our makeup the very jettest of blacks, these last days of June, 2023 will live long in the memory.
Needless to say, the dear folk of the dashboard are simply lapping up every moment of this delightfully bonkers emo drama in which Fall Out Boy actually lovingly reference My Chemical Romance's Black Parade as one of the hallowed 33 defined moments of modern times. We love it. And while we're at it, we'll take a pair of those sweaty, torn gloves if you don't mind, Mr Iero.
My job was to disassemble softballs and sell the disassembled softballs at random garage sales and sell as many as possible before the people called the cops on me.
I’ll be attending the Nerd Market in Toronto this Sunday! I’m tryong to declutter a bunch of stuff from my old collections. Come by and say hi! ^w^)/
also if you’re interested in anything, you can dm me!
I cannot believe my good fortune today in finding these beautiful items at a garage sale. P&P by Austen in a slip case $1, an illustrated The Secret Garden $1, a vintage wedding gown $5, periwinkle vase $1, and a bonnet worthy of a Brontë $5 🤍🪽🕊️
I had the chance to do 2 garage sales this week!
Those are my finds:
First one:
Sylvanians! The squirrel family is missing the dad! I only got his trousers!!!
Wherever he is, the poor dear must be a little bit embarassed without it! (*ノ▽ノ) (and the daughter is naked, it’s even worse! X’D) I already have them all but the tuxedo cats have slightly different outfits than mine!
The Jasmine is a fake but for the price I don’t care and she is pretty ^^
I sold almost all my Sweetie Pups a few years ago to other toy collectors, so I am always happy to find one I can keep now (and the york is my favourite, so yeah!)
Second one:
Only dolls!
I am happy about Raya because I didn’t buy her last time I went to Disney.
The Jojo was a surprise, since she is mostly unknown in my country and her dolls aren’t available here. ┐(‘~` )┌
The Crystal Barbie dress was hard to get, the person selling it wanted it for a price to high with an ugly doll, but I managed to change their mind and to sell me only the dress ^^

it was MAGICAL!!! i made a little bit of money but mostly got to get rid of a lot of my clutter!! i wasn’t expecting my things to bring people so much joy, but I’m so happy it did!
someone came in specifically because they saw me post my headphone sprouts on Instagram and wanted one so bad… i about cried.
I wish I would have taken more pictures with my friends and of my booth… the cutie in the video is one of my best friends!
