Y'know the funny thing about writing stories from different time periods? That you'll most likely spend an ungodly amount of time searching the internet like some archaeologist desperate for a breakthrough in a case.

And the thing that you are oh so desperately researching is a literal stove from the wild west era to make sure that it's accurate. I mean, I know how the stoves worked back then and their compartments [kinda] and what food they ate! So there are upsides!

#mask chats #and watched some vids on what the culture was like back then #it was interesting so im definitely on the lookout for more stuff #and their slang too! like there's a website for it which was super helpful #yes i spent like 15-30 minutes on figuring out stoves and kitchens from the wild west #and some more on what food they ate as well #not complaining tho just wanted to talk about it #ik im definitely not the only one but eh #also the comic SOMEHOW went from 10 pages to 16 including the cover page #[my wrists are gonna jump off my arm and punch me in the gut after this for sure] #blood moon lagoon #i absolutely understand fanfic writers pain fr #still fun tho

If you're a minimalist and you pride yourself on that, that's great! But if you know someone who is NOT a minimalist you are actually free to shut the fuck up about it. Just so you know.

#the amount of people who feel the need to comment on my stuff is bananas 🍌 #it's none of your business 'how difficult it'll be' when i go to move out #I've lived in this tiny one-room apartment for almost 4 years #like it's great if you have nothing but a futon and one set of cutlery. cool. #but i didn't wanna live like that for 4 years #and i shouldn't have to justify that to everyone who walks in here jesus christ SHUT UP!! #it is so so easy to just not say anything?? #why does every fucking minimalist think they're somehow superior. #also? not that i need to justify it but. i live in a staff dorm #the reason it looks like i have a lot of stuff is because there is no kitchen #i have one (1) room and it includes a bed. a desk. a coffee table. a refrigerator. a TV. and a pantry cupboard #if i had a reasonably sized apartment with a real kitchen my stuff would fit perfectly #but i love cooking. what was i supposed to do? not cook for 4 years while living here? #and i collect cookware. nowhere to store it so my heart shaped cocotte is a decoration on my coffee table #it's not like i live in a trash heap 🙄

[emmafallsinlove]

the fact that the only thing i made myself for breakfast this week is toast with extra cheese and tomato is embarrassing

#like all my friends and family (including my siblings) knows how to make stuff in the kitchen without having a panic attack #like my sister is 21 and she cooks and bakes since she’s 12 #and my brother who’s gonna turn 17 next month knows how to make stuff as well #like sometimes if he weren’t around to take care of me i would’ve starved (jk lol) #like 2 days ago i bought frozen pizza and he had to put it in the oven for me #and i think it’s the same shit with why it took me ages to start driving lessons #it’s kind of how in b99 jake gets so proud of himself for boiling an egg #and amy says it’s a big step and she is so proud of him #so this. #or speaks now

Discovered that I can just.... make homemade fries really easily and now i am liviiing

(literally just... cut potatoes into fries shape, mix with some sunflower oil, salt and whatever other seasoning you want (i like paprika and some garlic) and bake for like 30-40 minutes at 200°C)

what other foods am i missing out on that are actually super simple? what other things have i fooled myself into thinking are hard to do?? this is literally 1 ingredient plus seasonings

#food #i figure out like one new food a year lmao #though! i am currently in the process of getting a new kitchen including a new fridge #now it's a hassle and annoying bc there's been ppl in and out of my room dismantling the old kitchen #and rewiring the water and electrictiy and such #for the last two days #but if the new fridge comes with a bigger freezer compartment it'll be worth it #bc my main thing against cooking a lot of things is like... it freezing well doesn't help me when i have no room in my freezer #so. very excited for this #(and yes i don't actually know what the fridge is like yet bc i'm in student housing so i do not control the new kitchen) #(i just get told hey you get a new kitchen make sure to take all your stuff out of the old one) #(i currently do not have a fridge or a stove) #(i do have my tiny portable oven. and my microwave. bc those are mine) #(so todays dinner are fries bc well. i can make those) #(anyway if i get new freeze space i will figure out how to make pies. and soups. and things)

[posallys]

Oh my god isn't it totally crazy and ironic how all of my boyfriend and I's food that was going missing stopped disappearing for the entire week one of our roommates (who is "not taking it i swear") was gone and suddenly is magically and unfathomably disappearing again now that he’s back? So wild what a coinkydink

#but bro has the audacity to go 'i only have enough money to support myself so i can't be sharing my stuff' #brother how about you get a fucking job instead of sitting on the couch all day 🤩🤩 #and it’s funny bc my boyfriend and i are NEVER THERE to take shit bc we're always at work #but our roommate will literally be in the kitchen making a full meal woth our groceries when we come home and go #'oh i thought they were for all of us' brother what about the TWO chicken breasts said they were for the entire fucking apartment #dude threw away the bananas inwas saving for banana bread because they were going brown like YEAH I KNOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO #'oh cool you went grocery shopping; we have a lot of stuff now' brother who is this WE you speak of bc it doesn't include you #WE ie my bf and i have stuff because WE bought it #maybe you should get a job if the money your mommy and daddy are giving you isn't enough instead of going out drinking 🤩🤩

the pixielocks video i was watching: my friends were so kind, they made me feel safe when i was panicking and said i didn't have to do the thing with them even though that meant they had to do it by themselves

me, who's friend repeatedly asked me to do a thing with/for them when i was actively having a full month of Real Bad panic, anxiety so bad i couldn't move for hours at a time, could barely get out of bed to eat once a day, was having health flares, was so so terrified of leaving the house for many reasons but one was monkeypox bc my eczema kept giving me palm size rashes with scabs bc the skin was splitting open everywhere, and that would've made it much easier to get monkeypox, ALSO the thing involved her family who chronically doesn't wear masks, and that friend after asking me to do the thing AGAIN and i communicated all the above, made it about herself and then afterwards STILL asked me AGAIN to do thing and added "we can get boba🥺" and when i said "um. i am still scared to leave the house and also very mentally and physically flaring up plus i don't wanna get sick like i said" she said. and i quote. "well the boba was more for me": is that??? how friends are supposed to be???

#she also never warned me half the time she had ppl over when i'd been asking her to for THREE YEARS #and didn't clean up after herself in the kitchen despite me asking and even giving suggestions to make it easier for like idk a year ish #including like mold in places #which i am afraid of #and still had to be the one to clean it #i had to be the one to deal with quite a few apartment issues bc she'd complain about like the shower clogging and shit #and i was the only one to be like #so do u wanna get stuff at the store for that #and then we'd get it and id be like #okay so #how about #actually using it now #it was always me who ended up doing the work #like i'd do the thing where i'd wait for her to do it #and she just wouldn't #and i had to out of necessity #the shower water would clog up to my ANKLES #but she would hit the occasional *ugh im such a bad friend* #and then #not change #there's more on top of this that was. so so so fucking traumatizing #i'll be talking to therapists for years #but i need to go to bed now and i don't have the time #handmadeorganicpost #oh and let's not forget the time she had to drive me to the er bc my leg was numb ALL DAY and she went #why do bad things always happen to ME :( #like WHAT

[dawnofus]

one thing about my new job is that they’re making me do anything and everything they can on the pretense that “it’s a small company and everyone does a bit of everything sometimes” as if my actual job isn’t already a lot most times

#i was hired to do graphic design and marketing (which that in itself are two very different things lmao) #but they’re also making me visit the 26 stores to check that everything is set in place #which i could get bc it involves making sure all the signs and posters are correctly set in place blablabla #and also know to then be in charge or somethings that have to do with the company’s computing system LMAOOOO????? bro wtf #and they’re also making me do a formation course this week as tho i’ll be a barista which okay it’s kinda cool to know this but #everyone keeps telling me it’s probably so i can go up and help in the kitchen and w the coffees when needed which makes sense lmao #amd there are being so many issues (not involving me) these past week and a half and i just kdjdjdd #the two baristas at the store where my office is located have resigned and i liked them sm fjdkkdd #rip anyway #i had to vent good day #ktp #sorry for any typos lol #also like the design and marketing stuff obviously (lol) include photography and social media mangement and video editing and— #man am i in for a ride…

awake now. and not to doxx myself but fucking scared shitless my campus will be virtual this spring

#purrs #like half the buildings on campus including the one i work (which may have damaged our office and our stuff 😃😃😃😃😃😃) flooded bc of a power o #outage that caused burst pipes and a lot of the damage was to lab equipment / science projects / chemicals in buildings that were already #having problems w like mold and stuff. and the chemicals were impacted. and the damage is going to be very very very expensive to fix. we’re #getting a bigger update today and im so fucking scared this will steal the retreat from us again. omfg. and also a lot o the residential #buildings were flooded so there may not be enough rooms for ppl to live on campus and ppl in the discord (which is the information iwas abso #absorbing for hours last night btw LOL 🥰) are saying we will be virtual and it makes me want to sit in the kitchen while they tear it down. #if that happens i will simply have to blink out of existence. i can’t go virtual again I know im not in school anymore but i literally can’t #im so scared abt the update omg. i so fucking hope we’ll be able to be on campus and that this is not going to be as bad as it’s looking #delete later #also they’re cutting down the walls rn btw! so that’s fun. that is so fun. i couldn’t sleep until after 5 bc i couldn’t stop thinking abt it #fucking wild experience watching comments roll in speculating abt my building and knowing the answer but not being able to say it. insane

I wish the guy that everyone loves to talk to didn't sit in front of the kitchen because there always like at least 2 people standing around in a space that is not that big

#You're in my wayyyy I want to get free food. #It's a good week for coworkers bringing stuff and putting it on the table in front of the kitchen for everyone to take #Including me I did that today. #Rosa rambles #I also just don't want to talk to anyone when I'm on my break. That's not taking a break #Small talk with coworkers is work to me. #<- part of the issue

[tardis--dreams]

One thing about me is that for each hour of work i need to rest for 3 hours and that's just not compatible with what's expected of me and it's runining my life

#like #i don't even do anything physically strenuous #I'm just sitting and typing and looking shit up #and one hour feels like eternity and for some reason i get very tired even if i got like 7 hours of sleep #sick of it really #i didn't manage more than 6 hours per day for the last week #and I'd need to do 12 or more to stay on top of things #so that's awesome #also that doesn't include household chores #so I'm currently torn between finally cleaning the kitchen and vacuuming my horrible apartment #or doing actual work i get paid for and doing stuff for university which would be relevant for my future #shut up amy

ode to a faux grecian urn

Howdy everyone,

Today's house, built in 2001, comes to you from, you guessed it, the Chicago suburbs. The house is a testimony to traditional craftsmanship and traditional values (having lots of money.) The cost of painting this house greige is approximately the GDP of Slovenia so the owners have decided to keep it period perfect (beige.) Anyway.

This 5 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom house clocks in at a completely reasonable 12,700 square feet. If you like hulking masses and all-tile interiors, it could be all yours for the reasonable price of $2.65 million.

The problem with having a house that is 12,700 square feet is that they have to go somewhere. At least 500 of them were devoted to this foyer. Despite the size, I consider this a rather cold and lackluster welcome. Cold feet anyone?

The theme of this house is, vaguely, "old stuff." Kind of like if Chuck E Cheese did the sets for Spartacus. Why the dining room is on a platform is a good question. The answer: the American mind desires clearly demarcated space, which, sadly, is verboten in our culture.

The other problem with a 12,700 square foot house is that even huge furniture looks tiny in it.

Entering cheat codes in "Kitchen Building Sim 2000" because I spent my entire $70,000 budget on the island.

Of course, a second sitting room (without television) is warranted. Personally, speaking, I'm team Prince.

I wonder why rich people do this. Surely they must know it's tacky right? That it's giving Liberace? (Ask your parents, kids.) That it's giving Art.com 75% off sale if you enter the code ROMANEMPIRE.

Something about the bathroom really just says "You know what, I give up. Who cares?" But this is not even the worst part of the bathroom...

Not gonna lie, this activates my flight or fight response.

If you remember Raggedy Ann you should probably schedule your first colonoscopy.

Anyways, that does it for the interior. Let's take a nice peek at what's out back.

I love mowing in a line. I love monomaniacal tasks that are lethal to gophers.

Alright, that does it for this edition of McMansion Hell. Back to the book mines for me. Bonus posts up on Patreon soon.

so i complain a lot about low build quality of modern durable goods, but i do think there's a lot of freedom in having durable goods that (while they meet or exceed a minimum level of functionality) you aren't tempted to Keep Nice.

i don't care if my cat sharpens her claws on the couch because it's an ikea couch i got for free off a friend who was moving away. i don't care if my car gets scratched because it's already dinged up and it doesn't make it any less drivable. i don't care if my desk chair upholstery gets stained; it was cheap and who gives a shit if my chair is grungy. in many cases i actively disprefer the Nice version of the thing (like, say, a fancy expensive car) because it's emotionally a lot harder to blow off incidental damage.

this is also a thing that's really nice about DIYing/thrift flipping furniture and shit: i don't care that much if i scratch up the finish on my desk because -- well, it's a desk. who cares if a desk is scratched?? but also, i built the damn thing, so i can just sand it and refinish it with the exact same varnish. i could reupholster the various cat-scratched furniture, if for some reason i wanted to do that. i CAN, in fact, Fix Him.

i grew up in a house with a bunch of Nice Furniture, including (most frustratingly) antiques where you absolutely could not leave anything wet on them ever. a couple times, in the course of lighting birthday candles, the kitchen table accidentally got match-scorched, and my mom STILL tisks over those burn marks every time she remembers they exist. and i have to say, constantly Being Careful of the Furniture did and still does drive me up the wall. it's exhausting. like -- you don't have to spend mental energy on that!! you can refinish the dang table! you can, idk, lasercut some clear acrylic sheets to put on top of the antique dresser set! you can also decide to just not care about your stuff displaying the ordinary signs of wear and tear from being lived with, instead of trying to make a home a furniture showplace. every time i look at the scorch marks on my parents' kitchen table, i remember eating birthday cake.
