Gift of Time
You can always regain what was lost, reclaim what was taken, and recapture a moment, but not time. You can spend time on an Iphone but trust me it won’t reward you with anything as precious as time. It can’t be frivolously spent on matters of little consequence for when it elapses nothing on earth can buy it back. Time is a majestic picture; a mosaic of historical events; and pixels of stories,…

Everyone clap for me setting BOUNDARIES on my babysitting (said they have to be back by 10 so I can go sleep before driving tomorrow)
#i do love babysitting truly#it's good work that needs doing and the people i do it for are never frivolous#and all of them are good and dedicated parents and their kids are only normal amounts of difficult#that said. i have done um 4 babysittings for total about 15 awake kid hours in just over a week#my voice is shot and so is my patience#bones boy and then all the others are 3 and under#while i'm yapping in the tags i will say for posterity#that i didn't quite get everything done i wanted to today/this week#BUT i finished my chapter draft and all but one of the house/cleaning chores i wanted to#yesterday i spent all day at my small group leaders' first watching the kids and then hanging for dinner#and then book club that evening (they were like why don't you just stay? so i did)#today i returned my library books and got a turmeric latte on the way to babysitting#feel kinda crappy physically cause i haven't worked out consistently and had sugar too much this week#and the early dark is messing with my appetite so i'm trying to figure that out and be responsive#but! i am very excited to be going home tomorrow (first time since may!!) and see everybody and rest with them#it's not rest from everything hard but it is rest from being responsible for my own time and that sounds so lovely right now#i had the best time with the twins yesterday. they were yelling LEAVES and picking up pine needles#so i said it's Pine Needles#and they started going Pine Noodles! Pine Noodles!#they never watch screens and it shows. they're so good at thinking of stuff to do

Summer's coming, have some random (and sometimes blurry) screenshots of Lord Humungus' body in all his half naked glory.
#mad max#mad max 2#lord humungus#I know I'm a frivolous trashcan with questionable morals but I would kill for a hug from this man#...I mean an actual hug not what he did to Wez#also always remember that Kjell Nilsson spent three months freezing his ass off for this

Maybe this drama wasn't meant for me bc they're being all cutesy and romantic now but all I can think about is how this ignorant human just gave up the shield that YEON GAVE HER TO GET YEON BACK like, how is he gonna feel how is SHE gonna feel NOTHING ELSE LIKE THAT EXISTS!!!!! I've praised her brain every episode. Except now. "I don't care about destiny" IT SURE CARES ABOUT YOU, BITCH!!!
Like how wild is that, actually..... you got supernatural creatures roaming the city. These ghost kids tried to take your body. Youvr almost died TWICE. YOUR LITTLE LOVE INTEREST KNEW YOU IN A PAST LIFE!!!!!!!!
But destiny? Nah, that's fake!
I want to bang my head against a wall
#kdramas really know how to stress me out#actually has there been more romantic fluff this episode than plot????#idk i feel like i spent so long watching them recap the kiss and focus on frivolous stuff#blah blah text post#tale of the nine tailed#hyena watches

spending money on items doesn't count if they're on sale

“clown money to usd” well you see 2000 silver is actually 20 usd and that only gets you one outfit and an emote or two smaller things and the worst part about it is that it adds up

That said we have no morals or standards if we get paid enough for something so if you drop us something like $3 on Ko-fi then we are available to hash out details and we will have a go at just about Literally Anything.
#we speak#unless it is by someone we have previously interacted with and thus may consider a friend or something like a valued reviewer/neighbor#in which case we will at least try to have things like standards#because we do not particularly want to have time and money spent on a subpar product#which also means that our Range Of What We Will Do narrows just to things we're confident we can do but. not much to be done abt that#you can hire us for things that are wildly outside of our general stuff and we may not be good at it but we will try#we're currently on a few hundred bucks a month and a lot of that goes into things like food so we do appreciate the extra money#we dislike the “im trans and disabled give me money” things because it really feels like using it as cheap leverage for diversity points#and we don't really feel like being the kind of person that you donate to in order to feel better about yourself#if you're giving us money then it better be for your own damn self-indulgence in whatever you're ordering from us#we should be the sort of frivolous payment that is rightfully considered a questionable financial decision#people are already paying us for being disabled and unemployed. please do not put yourself on the level of the government.#be better. only give us money for the sake of extremely frivolous personal purchases that will temporarily brighten your day.

#sometimes i feel very aware of how fucking crazy being an immigrant is#im back in the us and . wow my life is so silly and frivolous!#i am insanely lucky but also... it feels almost gross how much more i have available to me#than my grandparents do/parents did#i don't know how my parents do it#their lives have changed so much over the past 30 years#anyway part of this is definitely just that i spent all week taking care of my dying grandmother#in the face of that... everything feels silly#im sure ill get reused to my own life in a couple days#but. god#bella things#this will be deleted soon but needed to scream

I NEEED to go back to making art that makes it ABUNDANTLY clear that theres something wrong with my brain BUT NOT in a cool or stylishly interesting way. i need to do it in a way that makes people say "hm." and walk away
#sowwy ive been kinda going through it in my fine arts major rn can u tell HJKSDHKFd#ive been feeling like. scared. and paralyzed by marketability and branding.#i cant stop thinking about how other people will see my art. but not like in a good way#when i was younger i thought about it in a good way. like hee hee hoo hoo the act of looking connected us hee hee#but rn i keep thinking about it in like this wretched like consumer product mindset? ouhhghhhhh el problema es el capitalismo#and like maybe this works for some people. to think like this. to make art like this. its what my professors push me towards#not intentionally. they dont say it out loud at least. im not sure if they know or not some of the irony#my professors are nice and pretty smart and talented and i like em. but sometimes i wonder like. the push for us as students to make like#marketable 'avant garde'? stuff thats safe but pretending to be weird and out there#i dont mean to sound pretentious. in general i play it too safe myself (spent too much time as an edgy 10 year old with my#parents freaking out over my shoulder because they think the fact that i drew an anime character frowning means something serious LOL)#but i dunno man. my least interesting art with the least amount of care thought or effort always gets so much more attention in school#nowhere else oddly. online? people like my more passionate but seemingly frivolous art (oc art etc. not frivolous to me but yknow how it is#same with irl artists and other industry people outside my school. whats going on in my school LOL#i know from experience i cant push myself into a supposedly marketable brand. if i try to make something sell it will not.#i dont know why. maybe theres an invisible essence buyers can tell when i didnt care jkfsldjdfrds#but my teachers LOOOOVE the stuff i put no passion in its so bizarre orz but i gotta relearn how to ignore half of their advice#i used to be better at it. but i also only used to ignore like a quarter of their advice. maybe i need to amp up how much im ignoring#that sounds mean. they have plenty of good advice. but also plenty of advice thats clouded by their own biases#and i gotta relearn how to sort out this stuff again. i forget every few months for some reason#you know i always think ouuhhhhh i act so neurotypical ouhhhhhhhhh im outgoing i talk to strangers all the time i seem confident#im so masked IM SO MASKED but then i go a couple weeks where every conversation i have has people looking at me like#i have two heads and neither of them are speaking their language. and then i descend into madness like this HJKLDSHJDS#i'll be fine i'll figure it out. i need to stop trying to get a good grade in being a 'cutting edge' conventional artist <3#i need to just. draw my cartoon characters in peace 😔😔😔

see this is why i don’t think taylor could ever be a billionaire because like yeah she’s a capitalist queen but she does everything in her power to give back and heavily compensate those who work for her in a way billionaires could never
#like the way she drops money and not in a frivolous money money way#like probably the most frivolous money person thing she does in the jet and maybe her multiple homes (that she literally regularly utilizes#like from the food banks to all the money spent on the eras tour shows to make it the best it can be for fans#to this to paying her crew during covid and all the other payments she made during covid#like girlie probably does love money but i think she would truly rather give it all away and spend it on those helping her#and idk i think it’s neat and you literally don’t see it with like anyone else#eris: text

i just spent like $100 at Half Price Books
40 items in total:
4 My Hero Academia manga volumes
5 magazines
30 (THIRTY) comics.
and one tote bag to carry all that bc they’re plastic bag free
i went up to the register so anxious like ‘oh idk if i’m gonna get everything’ but it’s literally all under $100 before taxes
#i felt bad for the cashier#i’m not buying anything frivolous until my next paycheck holy shit#but it’s the flagship store and it’s huge and i live pretty close to it now#i haven’t been on here in so long#it was like 2 yrs ago i think#and i spent like $50 but i mostly got graphic novels and a few floppies#alicia talks

bitches clutching their pearls seeing someone spending money on a website they care about and then complain about ads and lost of authenticity or whatever in the same breath. do you not understand how this works. Do you not understand.
#im SO tired of ppl dunking on people who bought blue checkmarks#Yeah what if they spent 200$ on a stupid ass gag.#on a website they cherish and obviously you do too#like sorry you cant afford it but some people do. some people are like hm i like this website its one of the last social medias resisting#mind frying algorithmic takeover how dare you spend money on a flawed website#as if anything is morally pure on the internet#people spending frivolous hundreds are NOT the enemy here#Either rewire your energy on the billionaire's 8th Yatch or go eat some soup
