So uh... I bought a new binder, but I was stupid and bought the wrong size even though I already have one from the same brand. I thought I might as well give it to someone who needs it!

It’s a gc2b MEDIUM full tank, nude no. 5. It’s brand spanking new, save for the few minutes I wrestled with it trying to get it on. I can’t really ship it right now, but if there’s anyone in the Milwaukee area who would like to meet up (masks, social distancing, the works), let me know! You can comment on this post or dm me. I’m gonna tag a bunch of people in this, and if you could signal boost that would be awesome. If it’s not spoken for by January 15th, 2021, I’ll make a new post, so please don’t inquire after then.

Edit: No, binding is not self harm. Yes binding can cause permanent damage, but only if you do it wrong. It is always a good idea to consult a medical professional before binding, but as long as you’re wearing the right size for limited amounts of time (no more than 8 hours per day), and are paying close attention to your body, you will be fine.

This post was originally gonna be about the fact that, after an unexpected 2.5 month delay, I celebrated successfully defending my Master’s research by opening this $45 bottle of Malbec that I bought in August for $23 off. Turns out the average price of this bottle is ~$15 and I still overpaid. NOW this post is to say that today, while a panel of PhDs thought I was smart enough to finally leave grad school, I’m not smart enough to avoid throwing my cash away just bc I get distracted by a good bargain #gradlife #uwmilwaukee #linguistics #MA #Malbec https://www.instagram.com/cilantrospicegirl/p/BufVi71n2IQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ju598u6p2nwk

so this happened today. Four and a half years, working full time between two jobs, lots of sleepless nights and therapy to become a first generation student with a bachelors. I have so much I would like to say and so many people I need to thank, but I am still very overwhelmed at the moment. more picture to come soon. • • • #graduation #uwmgrad #uwm #uwmilwaukee #class2018 #historymajor (at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brdy1mpF9ej/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pp2afgsfgqak

Alma mater. I toured UWM with my son today and I took him to the places where I had classes years ago. I didn't have an appreciation for the place when I was his age, so I was able to look at it differently today. #igers_milwaukee #ig_milwaukee #myfeatureshoot #flakphotorecs #minimalmood #mkephotographer #chicagoartist #chicagophotographer #mke_illgrammers #storyofthestreet #streetphotography #wisconsinphotographer #bnwmke #bnwphoto #bnw_landscape #landscape_photography #uwmilwaukee (at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee)

Fashion Friday

For this week’s Fashion Friday, we’re taking a slightly different approach. Today, we’re presenting A Lady of Fashion: Barbara Johnson’s Album of Styles and Fabric edited by Natalie Rothstein and published in New York by Thames and Hudson in 1987. This is a facsimile of the sewing diary kept by Barbara Johnson (1738-1825), which she started at the age of 8. It contains scraps of fabric and materials from dresses and other items of clothing that she had made or were given to her. Along with these textile samples, Johnson kept a meticulous account of the prices, width, length, date, and other information associated with each item—some entries even include where the dress was worn.

The information Johnson collected has proven very useful in better understanding consumerism and trends in fashion between 1746 and 1823. The original manuscript is now held at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

The 711 is dope a hell! Spicy hot chocolate mocha is less than half the price of the crappy college cafe’s; easily my new favorite place.
