I went thrifting this saturday. I rarely get to thrifting these days because I work two jobs during the week (im usually hustling from 7a - 10p) so on the weekends I take the time to check out the places that I never get to check out. so I go to this one place that I rarely frequent just because they run pretty expensive by thrift standards (im talking $20 bucks for a dress and $13 for a shirt). I've paid those prices before though and thats because the owners told me 100% of their proceeds goes back into the community (buying families used cars, paying peoples' rent etc.). They are also church affliated which did give me pause but they seemed like good local people, invested in their comminity.

So I went there this past Saturday. I saw a couple things I wanted to get, two pieces of clothing and an old typewriter (I have one at home and I've been wanting to get another as a gift for a friend who admired mine last time we visited). When ringing me up, I asked about the price of the typewriter. The owner (the wife) immediately whipped out her phone and looked up the going price and told me she would give it to me for $100 which was a steal (look...im not a professional but I know that in pristine condition, no way this typewriter would go for that much, and this one needed a lot of work). I knew she was taking me for a run so I said I would just take the clothing and she dropped the price to $50 for the typewriter and the clothes. I told her I would take the typewriter $50 and I would pay for the clothing as well, so $75 in total. She thanked me for being generous ( I just didnt feel comfortable with bargaining when the money would be going towards my community).

She then tells me, "we are planning to go on vacation for christmas so every bit helps."

This is a weird thing to say because the last time I was here, I was told that the two "owners" (husband and wife) wete retired and volunteered at the store. All the money went into keeping the store running and to a community fund. Weird.

Anyway, before she can finish ringing me up a little haole girl asked her about the price of an item. She asked if she could help them first and I was in no rush so I just began to browse. And then this is where it get extremely fucked.

This woman proceeds to go on this rant to this haole couple, their young daugher standing between them, about how all the Palestinians deserve to die. And how its very telling that the "gays and bis" are backing Palestine because we are also "children of the dark." She then went on to say, "send all the gays to Palestine so they can get tortured and raped by the muslims that they love so much." And if that wasnt enough, she told this couple, "they want me to be sad because they are killing the babies? You have to! If the exterminator didn't burn up the neat and eggs, you'll just get roaches again."

Like....wtf. I immediately noped the fuck out of there. Just literally turned and walked out. Got in my car and drove off. But not before hearing the haole couple enthusiasically agreed and praise god in the same breath.

I also found out that despite this woman and her husband positioning and posturing as being locals, they are from the US continent and have no connection to our community and that they frequently use the funds from the store for their own trips, to pay for their children's college and trips, etc.

Fucking wild dude.

The Queen of Nothing First Thoughts

So I’m doing this again for the last book. I actually finished the book a little over a week ago but I moved within the past week so posting this totally skipped my brain for a bit. Oops! This time I wrote these down while reading so I could have an even better representation of what I was thinking to look back on. So without further ado, here are my thoughts!

• I feel so bad for Cardan, he deserved so much more from his childhood and his family than what he got • I don’t blame Oak for not wanting to be High King lol • I love the part when Grima Mog drops the glamour and waits for a reaction that Jude isn’t going to give her. Iconic • I can and can’t believe Jude won against her • I like Heather a lot. I wont blame her for not taking Vivi back if thats what she chooses, but I think they’re cute other than Vivi neglecting to tell Heather anything about Faerie and then glamouring her • Oh great Taryn • Well this is a turn, I definitely didnt expect to be rid of Locke and especially not by Taryn’s hands - but I ain’t mad about it either • Jude going as Taryn is bound to be messy • This dream • Taryn being fed faerie fruit is really weird and more is bound to come out of this • Idk how Jude is gonna get out of this • Oh, he knew it was her. I wanna know what happened to those letters • Wow Im so proud of Cardan for fighting back against Madoc • Jude being angry because Madoc is trying to steal her and Cardan’s crown - yaassssss • I love how the parents get the large thrones when their daughter is the ruler • Jude has pulled off being Taryn for longer than I thought she would • Oh wow, so Locke is the reason the Ghost betrayed the Court of Shadows? More reason to hate him. I’m kind of glad though. The Ghost’s betrayal actually kinda hurt • I wish Jude and Madoc could come to be okay with one another again • AHHHHHH CARDAN AND THE ROACH CAME TO RESCUE HER • Oh nooooooo!!! Did Oriana somehow tip off Madoc?!? • Wow two rescues in that short amount of time? Yassss. I guess I’ll forgive Taryn lol • YESSSS THIS BOOK IS GIVING ME LIFE! I CAN’T BELIEVE CARDAN FINALLY REVEALED HER AS THE QUEEN • Cardan:

• I’m literally giddy right now • I’m starting to trust Taryn now, I hope I’m not wrong to • My love for Cardan yet grows • Also low key love Grima Mog • Yesss… the Alderking and his consort ;) sorry I just really really loved that book • Noooo I don’t want Heather and Vivi to be over • I have to snort at Cardan dropping the L word and then walking out the door while Jude is reeling • Yes Cardan yes!! Snap that crown in half! • Oh noooooo. Nevermind!! • I am in utter shock right now. I need Cardan back… Holly Black has done it yet again • Please let Cardan and the Roach live • I mean, Im finally getting The Roach x The Bomb but to what end? • Please Severin come in clutch • Hazel!!! • Aww my bb Cardan is even better than I thought he was, freeing mortals • He sent the gown?!? • Awww Jude I’m so proud of you • “First I am going to kill you. And then I am going to eat you.” What a cannibal icon • CARDAN!!!!! • Is this other meat Grima Mog has at the revel Lord Jarel? 👀🤔 • Ahhhh she finally told him!! • This coronation is perfect!!! • Well I’m glad that the Bomb and the Roach got their happy ending, but is this Taryn x the Ghost I’m sensing maybe? Is it just me? • I have the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition and can I just say Cardan’s letters killed me

Whew! I finished and I’m so extremely happy. This was a wild ride but I’m so glad I picked up The Cruel Prince (which has been sitting on my shelf for the better part of half a year) and read it. I loved this trilogy SO much!! I wish I had read The Cruel Prince earlier, but at the same time I’m kind of glad I waited because waiting for The Queen of Nothing to come out would’ve been agony. Again, if anyone happens to get through all this, I would love to talk to other fans of the books. And now I don’t have to worry about spoilers!
