In these uncertain times I have decided to self-quarantine. I currently show no signs of the virus, but for the health of myself and my family, I will be staying home. This means I have extra time on my hands, so I'm going to try to do my part. Starting today, I will be posting one new chainmaille item. For these items and all other items in my shop I will donate half my proceeds to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy's COVID-19 Response Fund. Please consider purchasing to help support a growing need around the world and an artist whose shows were all cancelled. Plus, I know times are hard for everyone, so use offer code STAYSAFE to receive 10% off your order. https://disasterphilanthropy.org/cdp-fund/cdp-covid-19-response-fund/ #chainmaille #charity #itsroughoutthere #covid19 #selfquarantine #handcrafted #arts https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DRmVRAdoA/?igshid=1ohxzvken34yy

Tinder

It’s awful, for me. Friends warned me that’s it’s just a way to find sex, which honestly, I’m ok with. What I’m not ok with is trying to connect with a person based on a couple of photos and maybe a two sentence description. It’s just not for me. Multiple times I ran out of people to swipe. It’s my fault. I was being extremely picky and judgmental. 

Looking for some combo of: -27 to 32, tall, bearded, on a bike, with a guitar, skinny jeans, tattoos, edgy, with hair. I know it’s like every hipster douche ever, but, I like what I like. 

Deal Breakers: - sunglasses in your main pic (let me see your eyes!) - holding a fish (some viral article said men holding fish are more likely to get a right swipe,  - look short (hey if we’re talking just about looks, I’m a tall lady, I prefer a tall man) - blonde (again, i don’t know why this was a thing for me, IRL blonde guys can be cute, but on Tinder they just don’t do it for me) -too many sports references, especially hockey (I like sports but I don’t want to talk sports on a date) -that basic bitch look for men (hair short on the sides longer on top, flipped over with some product, a plaid button up with sleeves rolled up, maybe a vest or suspenders, neat beard, brown leather shoes/belt - works in finance/is an “entrepreneur”/business school -tank tops -polo shirts -guns -motorcycles

After a week and a half I deleted it. It ended up being a total time suck. I matched with 6 people, wasn’t interested in them enough to actually initiate any conversation, and only one messaged me first. We exchanged a little chatting about something in one of my pics then it stopped. I didn’t go in with the right mindset. 

It was also oddly hypnotic. I would be sitting up in bed and before I realized it 20 minutes had gone by and I hadn’t swiped right on a single guy. So it had to go.
