Joann: Micheal's, we can't both exist. I'm going to become half of you. And I need you to know that every moment your customers go to you instead of hobby lobby, that's me, living through you and loving being you. Because you're going to be something extraordinary. You're going to have a bigger fabric selection.

Creepiest fucking thing just happened.

Went to Jo-Ann's yesterday and found a display of Halloween decorations. I was mad, but NOT because it feels early for Halloween. Christmas rolls out super early, too, so it's about time Halloween had it's due.

I was mad because all of the items were ridiculously overpriced. There was a flimsy pillow for $50. A jar of cheap glass covered in reflective acrylic paint for $25. A fist sized foam disco ball with plastic tiles for $20. A wall hanging I could make with $8 worth of things things I currently have in my home for $30.

I actually loved this item and would have gotten it if it wasn't $35, which I think is egregiously expensive for some thin metal chain and painted glass:

Anyway, I kvetched and moaned about the prices and how inflation is ruining everything in the store, didn't buy anything, and went home.

Just got on tumblr, and...

Wooooow.

I used the Jo-Ann's app and was physically in the store, and there's a store locator in the app that uses GPS, so they must have used my location data and digital history to target me with that ad...

...but it's still creepy as fuck they managed to advertise the one item that I actually liked amongst the overpriced bullshit.

What a world. What a weird, creepy, invasive world...

Come for the Jo-Ann's deep dive, stay for the anti-capitalism

Because I saw this happen in real life I have to ask: Has you're local Joann's been replaced by a Spirit Store this year

Yes my local Jo-ann's became a Spirit Store

My location had a Jo-anne's but the Spirit Store went to a different location

My location had a Jo-ann's but never got a Spirit Store

Never had a Jo-ann's / outside the US

I went to Jo-Ann's today (fabric and craft store that's going out of business) and I gotta say it was emotional. I know how silly that sounds, but as a cosplayer and hobbyist artist it was my go-to for whatever I needed. I thought it would last forever, but it didn't. I nearly cried in the store as the realization hit me. I know there are other stores but they're not the same. For me, Jo-Ann's wasn't just a store, they helped me make so many projects and I was able to make wonderful memories because of them.

Question: is Joann's website absolutely shit for anyone elses phone or just mine?
