Getting pulled over on an unlit highway at 1 AM is very anxiety-inducing.

I want to work in a treehouse where at most once a month someone has a question about something I'm obsessed with or allowed to lie to them about

Just like all of you, I get overwhelmed, stressed out, and mega doom-y sometimes too.  

Being unable to breathe and having a brutal headache from wildfire smoke while strangers rage at me about an enshittified Esprit sweatshirt is making me feel pretty hopeless about humanity’s ability to manage climate change and support one another. Seriously people on Threads will fight anyone who says that maybe they don't actually "need" a crappy sweatshirt that is exploiting our human tendency to find comfort via nostalgia during difficult times.

But...I still believe in us. And in the six years I've been doing Clotheshorse, I have heard every excuse and justification for fast fashion and AI "art." And definitely lots of strangers have told me that I'm a stupid, joyless loser because I don't think any of us actually *need* a SHEIN haul.

You know what helps me cope with despair and internet creeps? Making weird graphics using vintage books. A few hours with my scanner, Photoshop and a really good iced coffee is definitely my idea of a relaxing time! Another source of absolute inspiration for me is vintage craft books and magazines.   I have a whole routine every time I'm a thrift store: First, I check out kid's books.  Then I go to the cookbook section (in search of old cake decorating books). Then the "nature" section for cat books (obviously).  And lastly, the craft section for weird (and awesome) books. After all of that, I look at home goods, etc. 

This carousel of images is all from various craft books I have collected over the years. Some are familiar to you, others I made TODAY to help me cheer up.  And you know what? It worked! I hope it gives you a little smile or laugh, too.

an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

language is amazing
