#so is overconsumption

[emptyportrait]

a reminder for those who are willingly ignoring the Palestinian genocide because they are slave to their own comfort.

#Palestine #gaza #rafah #human rights #free palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #individualism #is a plague #so is overconsumption #israel is a terrorist state #jerusalem

it’s just hard for me to comprehend sometimes how some people can see the absolute horror that „livestock“ animals go through, the environmental destruction our overconsumption causes, the horrific working conditions of the people who make fast fashion….

and then somehow draw the conclusion that they themselves are the biggest victim in this situation, because someone has dared to suggest to them they try stop flying, stop eating animals, start buying second hand. I could just never….

and so many „left wing“ people from rich countries claiming that being asked to do this is somehow discriminatory, and „white colonialist“ and „classist“ like please be serious or stfu you just don’t want to have to question your own overconsumption 💀

#I’m so done with bad faith actors #do what you can #you do not have a right to overconsumption #veganism

As happy as I am that authors get the opportunity for several special editions of their books, this special edition nonsense is getting wayyyy out of hand. At this point, it’s beyond excessive.

#books #and again - great for the authors love that for them #but as a reader that’s just a lot of money #…for the same book #and props to those who can and like to buy multiple editions of the same book #( Becca this isn’t about you lmao ) #it’s just wild #so much of it is just money grabs #esp for books that already have a million editions #it’s just too much #a lot of is the overconsumption battle that is happening with the clock app and insta pushing people to buy things too #it’s just weird #and doing the most #no one forced anyone to buy anything they don’t want to but let’s not pretend we don’t know how the internet works lol #esp cursed clocktok #gp

so i'm addicted to like niche holiday gift guides people do from independent shops and sellers, and i kind of want to do one of all the random things i've saved this year that reminded me of our cowboy and pilot boys. like a kind of subtle merch moment.

is that something people would like?

#and people can add it to their holiday list or buy it for themselves #because i'm so online and i see so many things #i don't want to promote overconsumption but i have a hard time figuring out what to ask for for christmas sometimes #and maybe you all do as well

i love watching makeup and clothing declutters and jewelry organizations and people showing their perfume or makeup or jewelry collection and what’s in my bag videos and pictures. I understand toddlers because this is my cocomelon…

#does anyone get meeeee i know i’m not alone in this … #It just makes me so happy especially if it’s normal ppl not influencers oh that turns me off #bc i hate overconsumption like u don’t need 7 foundations get out of here. Put luminous silk down. #but it’s just so soothing to my brain i’m telling u something clicks my virgo mars always loves when it’s neat and clean 🫡 #when i get my organizers i am gonna show u guys my jewelry collection i can’t wait to put it together 🫶🏻 #ALSO WHEN PPL TELL U THEIR ROUTINEE #on my old blog i had bunch of friends write down their makeup routine for me and that’s the only #thing i miss abt that blog bc i loved looking at that post 🫶🏻 #tt

i wish someone smarter than me could explain why statements like "well it's you own fault if you feel bad you can't read 9 books a week you're the only one putting pressure on yourself and you're being a hater" piss me off so badly

#instead of acknowledging that being able to read so much is often a privilege #and completely rejecting the idea that this might contribute to some degree of overconsumption #i just feel like there should be a clear separation between the average reader and someone who's doing this for a living idkkk #anti booktok #iceblinkluck.txt

[thorntopieces]

this is my new reaction image

#period came over a week early i hate everything </3 #i was wondering why i was in so much pain but didn't want to take painkillers without reason #ive had painkiller insensitivity before from accidental overconsumption and they still dont work great #nurofen lemon flavoured painkillers you taste like shit

I think that, with online communities like booktube or booktok, there are a lot of people reading books simply bc they are popular and not because it is what they will genuinely enjoy. stop reading books just because they're popular and you have FOMO! actually read the synopsis and decide for yourself if it seems like something you'd enjoy instead of buying books solely because some rando on the internet (or publishing house) said it was a "enemies to lovers slow burn fantasy with spice."

(on a similar note: it's your life, read the books that interest YOU not what others say you should be reading. if a book is boring you, don't force yourself to finish it. be happy in your leisure activities.)

#idk if this makes sense #obvi overconsumption and being influenced is not restricted to booktok #but it is so easy to NOT be influenced to read a book #like honestly i almost exclusively read nonfiction right now with the occasional fiction book thrown in #because it is HARD to find books that seem appealing to me

#nacific STOP i have 4 canadian dollars and ten canadian cents in my bank account WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 FUCK OFF #anyway he's adorable but i'm gonna need jype to be so fucking fr with #everything they're doing rn it's pissing me off #but then i see my baby's silly lil smile and it's ok .. #JENSISNSIDNDKDMD #there's a discussion to be had abt overconsumption under the kpoppie sphere but anyway #this is not the place for that #HERE WE ARE HAVING GIGGLING OVER THE PRETTIEST BOY EVER SO . #chan #bang chan #skz #stray kids

Sometimes I’ll be having a nice time talking to my friends and then they mention something like „oh yea my new dress from Shein (or Aliexpress/Temu) came in, want to see it??“

And then I’m just like. Oh.

Like it ruins the whole mood. We were chilling. Having a nice time. But now it’s like this uncomfortable air because they brought up one of those companies.

#🚱 #I hate fast fashion so much #and overconsumption #then they complain when it’s low quality #like yeah you paid two dollars for it. #what did you expect

framing alcohol consumption as doing a Drug helped me massively to stop drinking daily

#knowing when i just wanna get fucked up vs 'this is a social drink' was so helpful #not that calling it a Drug made it worse in my mind it just helped me realise that overconsumption really was a problem #have to hype myself up every so often bc quitting drugs is a nightmare and alcohol is absolutely not an exception

[destroyyaa]

its funny that stores offer mystery boxes of merch. they value the content too high and are just getting rid of old stock

#joey.txt #like its another fucking symptom of overconsumption/capitalism #but it just sucks lol #got an email from the australian grand prix saying oh buy your mother a gift for mothers day and get a mystery box #like they even say whats inside you just need to wait and see #so they arent even telling you if its tshirts or jumpers #also considering the merch is overpriced to begin with it wont surprise me that the mystery box contains one crusty dusty item

a little bit sick today so only went out for a little bit! went thrifting at a different thrift and got two STUNNING PIECES but don’t have ANY PHOTOS because they are being washed and I value taking them home clean more than nice photos :(

I got a tigerlily (it’s a brand, don’t know much about it but I believe they are known for bohemian clothing? unsure of their ethics) black bell sleeve wrap shirt in my size! Everything I’ve dreamed of and absolutely perfect for my styles (contextually I love to mix things up a lot in terms of how I dress so my wardrobe is absolutely not a capsule wardrobe, this is not an aesthetic blog), it was $25?!?! which seems a bit overpriced but it’s a perfect piece and fills a gap I’ve been trying to fill for a while. I’m glad I waited to buy a shirt like that because I’ve seen other ones for cheaper and wanted to buy but I knew something about all of them was slightly off putting (texture, colour, size) so finding the right one felt very rewarding! I tried on lots of other stuff and found quite a few cool things but nothing else fit except for:

A slightly too big vintage purple velvet midi skirt with a mesh frill and beadwork! it has now been altered so it’s not looking quite so nice unfortunately :( me and grandma fucked up but it now fits better and is very much still wearable and no one would really notice except me I hope! very Pinterest worthy and I’ve been wanting more pieces like that for a while but I’ve never found any in my size! some depop girl would probably resell it at like $50 as a whimsigoth 90s moment so I’m glad I found mine at $15 even if it is slightly damaged now…..

honourable mention to the BNWT eyelet belt pleated skirt I found which was way too big for me?!?! How cool for whoever takes that one home! and these two gems! such cute pieces but I am not a Sanrio ballet flats type of girl nor am I fully aware of who Oliver tree is (I was slightly too young during the hype). also found numerous other tigerlily pieces but they were bohemian in a I go to coachella and hate on stuff way? they weren’t the moment but there was also a tree of life beaded frill maxi skirt I may try go back for tomorrow, because I lowkey regret not buying it. mindful consumption and all but I bought a white one which is now too big for $150 from the brand a year or two ago and I doubt I’ll ever see another skirt like that so hopefully it’s still there!

no pics cause I’m lazy but we also got a blur cd and the cure?!?! and found deadstock men’s boxers from my parents business before they #broke up and it closed down and died and that filled my Pinterest girl dream of men’s boxers! weirdly lucky!

bonus mention to a depop buy of a navy cable knit v neck brandy jumper for $25. I understand I have overconsumed a little too much in the last few weeks but I also am moving schools to my old high school which has navy jumpers as part of their uniform. while this isn’t necessarily their branded uniform believe me when I say they will not care what brand jumper I wear or if it has a logo as long as it fits the school colours! I also don’t have much of my old uniform from the first time I went there despite the fact I only left for 2 months of the school year! I changed sizes and also donated a lot of my old uniform to my younger sibling who needed it. that purchase feels rationalised to me but definitely no need to go shopping again anytime soon, my wardrobe feels super complete with these purchases :) thank you for making it this far because frankly I would’ve scrolled by now <3

here’s a photo of my lunch

chicken and beef halal snack pack with cheese :) it was actually a huge mental challenge to think about eating this and I deliberated for months but I did it and didn’t even really think about it in the moment! a huge win and another step into normalcy.

#journalling #day in the life #journal #thrifting #vintage #overconsumption #mindful consumption #I am so proud for resisting the urge to buy random secondhand stuff #halal snack packs #CDs #tired of people who say you can’t thrift cool alt stuff I found so many pieces today and chose two and that was just my size #the plus size section had so much alt stuff people need to get out more and try #I thrift daily for like 15-30 mins so I can try and find cool once in a lifetime pieces and some of you shein buyers need to try it tbh

tbh actually going to america made so many things abt americans make more sense to me. certain things id see said id quirk my eyebrow at and silently question but i understand now.... yall have literally everything in that country

#by “literally everything” i mean that i felt overwhelmed going to the five below. #bc ive never in my entire life seen a dollar store that had that much stuff and that wide a variety of stuff and tbh. its better quality to #you can get CLOTHES at the dollar store and they're not just stupid holiday themed t shirts? #everything is like half the price in america tht it is in canada #i bought a perfume online and it was $22 canadian #looked at the american price. $9 #but seriously theres so much shit we just dont even have tht americans do #like. we dont have target so theres inherently a huge gap in shit #bc target has so many exclusive brands #we dont have five below or dollar tree #i had never heard of dave & busters outside of One discord conversation i had in 2020 prior to going to the USA #and theyre so big??? theyre SO BIG #in america you can walk five feet and there will be a restaurant or a store #obviously this is all limited to. where i visited but ykwim #there was simply so much Stuff. everywhere. everywhere there are fucking things #i found shit ive literally been looking for for years . at the dollar tree. for $1.25 #I THOUGHT CANADIAN OVERCONSUMPTION WAS BAR #BAD* #I DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH MORE INTENSE AMERICAS IS.

I never said anything about Bee’s design but I’m conceptually fine with it? Like yeah it’s way too complicated and it feels weird having Kesha in the role she’s been trying to move away from but on paper the design is. Fine. But it would’ve been so much more interesting to see something that wasn’t just a bland sparkle dog (I see a lot of people say she’s a sparkle dog, minus the lava honey she’s way too boring for that tbh).

Imagine if they got weirder with the designs. What if they tried to make Bee a sexy anthro fly or bee. They could’ve been more obvious about her character in her design and outfit. I’m fine with them not giving gluttony a bigger body type but something different from 90% of the girls could’ve been fun.

For a design so complicated, it sure is boring.

#it’s a lot easier for me to design girls than guys and it’s just… you had so much room to play with this!! #party girl demon with bug themes and overconsumption as her main flaw could’ve been so fun but nooo #we get dog with weird tail #helluva critical #vivziepop critical #helluva boss critical #speaking of her outfit tf was that croptop
