What’s your icon from? It’s looks familiar but I can’t quite place my finger on it??

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

tainbocuailnge

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

I just need a good pot, a good wok, TWO paring knives, TWO steak knives, and one Santoku style choppitychoppity.

That’s IT.

I ask for SO LITTLE.

Very helpfully, there is someone keeping track of which high-quality kitchenware has been enshittified and which hasn’t.

Should I be saving my money for a down payment on a house and getting rid of furniture so I have less to move? Yes. And also yes.

But consider:

She's $300 and I need her

hellenhighwater

She's here!!

#ONLY $300?????

Took my spinning wheel for a spin today. Gave away much yarn to little kids who helped me spin the wheel. Life is good

If I were a goddess of the underworld, I’d wear black trousers and a royal blue smart/casual top while I sat in state, with hair red as blood and lips as pink as a pulsing heart

aquitainequeen

An update; I’ve now decided I’d be wearing a brocade waistcoat, cravat, pin striped trousers and spats.

So basically Hades from Hadestown, save for the spats.

I’d still have the hair red as blood and lips as pink as a pulsing heart. Love me some lippy.

I just saw someone tag #oldpostisold on something that was like...ten months old. Gurl. Do you know what website you're on

I got to handle some 18th century flax from our collection today and OH MY GOD it is so fine and soft. This makes me SO ANGRY. WE USED TO HAVE NICE THINGS. I'm working with freaking TOW

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

I somehow got in the overconsumption algorithm and man I hate tiktok influencers trying to sell you shit as much as the next person but like. There are now people on the other side straight up implying that it's wrong to go shopping unless you have a specific purchase in mind first, and I seriously need you to let some joy into your life

i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂

#definitely OJ #I was 5 and I distinctly remember being like 'this man's name is Orange Juice??'

#sorry not to be a snobby New Yorker but this post is about New York. people in the tags talking about the city#and the city they mean is like. columbus. shut the fuck up

Nothing in the original post or the poll indicates that this is about New York. They may have meant it that way but respectfully this is not that serious; let people have their damn fun.
