it’s a bummer that bag charms are so linked to the blind box trend and general overconsumption because i really do enjoy the part of my commute every day where i look around the subway car and see what little friends everybody has chosen to carry with them

DAMN I really thought I had this one in the bag (PUN INTENDED) but alas. My unsuccessful #neopets contest entry that I burned myself out crafting in 5-ish days.

Magical Hair Usuki Sunglasses made with laser-cut acrylic and parts I ripped from cheap commercially available sunglasses, in a traditional and “emo usuki” black-on-black colorway.

Quiguki Sunglasses Bag in felt (with zipper, D-rings, strap, other hardware). In addition to being a traditionally functional bag, you can slip sunglasses behind her face, which has a magnetic closure hidden behind her bangs. As an easter egg, the other half of the magnet is hidden behind a brain.

every time i wind up down a google rabbit hole for vintage technology for my stupid ghost band blog i become dismayed at the current state of design!! everything is a rectangle now!! the world used to be full of a variety of unique and exciting machines!!

i was looking up 16mm film editing equipment and i love it. look at this.

this was not one person who decided to mount the film rewinders and viewer to a giant wooden base, this was just how it was. for many different iterations of the product.

a piece of technology that demands all of your space. i love her.

there is also the projecto-editor which collapses into a little box.

the front flap with the film splicer on it is on a hinge that flips down. the arms for the film reels swivel out. she has a handle so you can take her on the go, for your mobile 16mm editing needs.

so elegant!

this guy w flip up arms? hell yeah

a lot of the metal on these craig projecto-editors also has this crazy finish that i'm really into

today my thermometer/hygrometer at work said 69º/69% humidity and i gotta say it was NOT niiiiice :(

please appreciate this very low quality meme i made out of official neopets art to reply to my friend (a relatively new neopets player) telling me that playing neopets is becoming a chore for him

every time instagram shows me a meme post these days the caption is ChatGPT slop describing the image :-(

i miss when i would get meme posts where the captions were all complete non sequiturs written by mentally ill teenagers venting about their high school lives :-(

i wasn’t sure if i really needed 3ft tall plastic rectangular prisms but if they’re 70% off…

looking at other people talking about tv shows and thinking about how, somehow, as someone who does not really watch tv i DID get sucked into watching every episode of The Closer which turned into reluctantly watching every episode of Major Crimes

and like it is for the best that most people did not watch that show because it was not good and it’s better for my mental health that i did not have to read anybody’s opinions about it but also it feels unfair that other people are not burdened by having to think about every bizarre and awful writing choice

mostly i keep thinking about how in a show of mostly unremarkable characters, the showrunner had his very special OC who he would not give up on and insisted on shoehorning in. i used to look at the comments on the Major Crimes facebook page and it was consistently full of people saying they fucking hate Rusty and think he’s annoying. and yet we had to continue to suffer through nonsense Rusty story arcs. and on some level i respect when someone does fully commit to a really awful idea. may we all be brave enough to have bad taste.

We've all been down here too long. I truly think there's a chunk of tumblr's population that can no longer survive sunlight.

women will say “hear me out” and show u a photo of pyramid head and then tumblr users will go “this is a perfectly normal man and an ice cold take”

i was so deeply locked in to working on this awful puzzle i made as an art project that i did not realize i had been sitting on the floor, hunched over for six hours

i checked the clock thinking it would be like 1:30am and it was in fact 3am and then i decided to put another hour into it so i will actually be unable to move tomorrow

[celebutante]

for the record my idea of an art project is laser cutting 3600ish monochrome acrylic puzzle pieces to make a 5ft wide puzzle that is ugly, heavy, expensive and time consuming to produce, not fun to assemble and of the red lobster logo

i have no opportunity to display this nor do i have any idea how i would hang this for display, but sometimes the laser whispers to me like the ghosts in field of dreams and i just have to make something and believe everything else will fall into place later

also it’s missing two pieces that i broke but the cool thing about this puzzle is when there’s no image alignment to worry about, you can always recut pieces

thinking about how i spent my entire k-12 educational life getting in trouble for drawing in class, and then when i finally got to college and could take a drawing class, i got tendonitis in my thumb and completely lost my ability to draw
