Slightly Late to the Party

For a girl who loves her words, she loves her silence more.

A Ship of the Line off Plymouth, Devon, by Thomas Luny (1759–1837)

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!!

This side-by-side was built by the Rockford Desk and Furniture Co., which only existed from 1891-1895. I've found one singular other example of this cabinet, which was auctioned over a decade ago, and was stained a dark cherry color. I personally like the color of the quartersawn oak as it is, so I'm not planning a full restoration.

[hellenhighwater]

Wait I just realized this puts her in line of sight with my favorite chifforobe and I love how they look together. Very different periods and styles (art noveau vs art deco) but I feel like there's a dialogue there.

We are not judging the mess in my drawing room, that's a later problem. Work table all covered in nonsense...

Larry is 19 years old, which is quite old for a cat, and he’s still doing his job of Chief Mouser to the Cabinet! Prime Ministers come and go, but Larry stays 🐈‍⬛

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

[jewish-joy]

#i love prayer plants but they're fussy so I don't keep them#can we have a picture op they're so pretty

Behold, Dorothea

(Naming my plant "Gift of God," and then giving her to a seminarian with just the explanation that it's a prayer plant? Okay, that's my bad.)

[biglawbear]

Oh my goodness she is so lovely and full! And she's flowering!! That's a happy maranta indeed

me, reaching into my dresser drawer for black pants: I hope this isn’t the pair with big holes worn in the inner thighs

Marie Kondo, gently over my shoulder: why is a pair of pants you find unwearable still in your dresser drawer

me: oh shit that’s right!! The dresser is for clothes that under some circumstance I might conceivably wear!!

Marie Kondo, beaming proudly: Yes, that’s correct!! These pants must have been your favorites. How wonderful that they were so comfortable and practical that you wore them out. But now since they no longer function as pants, you should move them from the drawer where you keep your functioning pants!

me: Yes thanks I got it they’re in the fabric basket now

Marie Kondo, fading back into the darkness: I love what you’ve done with the kitchen!!

[cwicseolfor]

The notion of KonMari as some creepy semi-embodied but entirely benevolent spirit, like a well-intentioned Bloody Mary, is so perfect and wonderful.

god it would be awesome if the human brain could just ignore an upsetting thing instead of constantly wandering back to it for no fucking reason
