I don’t know who needs to hear this, but going to thrift stores and buying all the usable sheets and t-shirts and jeans and then cutting them up to make rag rugs or yarn or whatever for your shabby chic/cottagecore aesthetic isn’t solar punk.
It’s gentrification.
You are taking resources away from people who need them so that you can pretend to live a less consumptive lifestyle. You are cosplaying sustainability.
The whole fucking point of rag rugs etc. was that you made use of textiles you already had that could no longer be used for their intended purpose, and you extended the lifecycle of the item by turning it into something else useful instead of throwing it in the garbage. When you buy clothing that still has use *as clothing* just to cut it into rags to make a rug, you’re *speeding up* the consumption of materials. You’re shortening the lifecycle. You are consuming MORE.
And you’re doing it by buying up resources that marginalized people need. Those thrift store sheets would look so much better on somebody’s fucking bed, but since you wanted that Little House on the Prairie vibe, someone is sleeping on a bare mattress now whilst trying to save their pennies to go to fucking Wal-Mart for bedsheets. And that denim throw pillow probably looks adorable on your sofa, but somebody needed a pair of sturdy jeans for that job they’re trying to get, and now there’s nothing available.
But sure, your house looks cute. I guess that’s important.
Posting this here as I won’t write it but Prompt, I guess:
- Dad (Snape) runs an apothecary/potions shop in Hogsmede while Mum (Mcgonagall) still teaches (Lupin is constant dada prof but Dad can’t complain as he doesn’t have kids at Hogwarts and Slughorn and maybe some others who aren’t story important are potions prof), Mum meets Dad for some potion or other reason and bam! Relationship! (Haven’t decided if Dad will be a death eater or not still but up to writer if people use this rubbish) (I JUST WANNA SHARE!)
How different Thomas’s story could have been if the Officer had said “Mary Shelly?”
nah i actually snapped with these. the doctor-fication of martha jones aka martha matching with different doctors:
let's keep going!
!!!!!!
I was just sad as it was kinda sad music and creaking and him alone but sure, go ahead and make the scene hurt more…😢
I decided to make myself sad while watching Wall-e and like we know the little cubbies are where other units sleep
So what if the items Wall-e collects are actually things that remind them of the robot that used to sleep in that cubby?
just out of curiosity. i saw an anon (very rudely) tell a friend that no one shipped it.
Perfect mum and dad song: Believer by Guy Sebastian!
My brain anytime i get a project and am not made to do it right then and there:
“Okay two options, Do it now and get less stress and more time for fun stuff OR do later and get more stress and less to no time for fun stuff”
Me: I’m definitely doing the first option! Sounds good!
(All time but the last day or minute procrastinated later while constantly reminding myself and at same time forgetting to do thing)
Me: OH! That thing i had to do! Shit!

My first art in a series of drawing my fictional human ships as my favourite animal! Of course I started with my Parents! Had so much fun doing this! I haven’t drawn in years!
When you’re arriving home and you hear: “Do you want me to make/kiss it better?” From either of your parents and you know that all your siblings are out.. 😳
Guess I’m not going home..
