If you're in need of judaica, you can not sleep on going to thrift, antique, and consignment stores. There are some things you just won't be able to thrift, but going to these stores has given me pretty much every bit of judaica that supports me. I feel like it's a great good luck omen to get these things that are (often) older than you - it's magical.
Anyway, I just got a bread box for my challah and shabbos candlesticks - almost everything in the background was also received secondhand, too!

#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#personal thoughts tag#i really want to stain the bread box because i have ideas about making it beautiful and jewish#my most boomer take is that i hate online shopping and only use it when i have no other options#it's not the same to buy judaica that's brand-new or the latest model or whatever#i don't know the dates of everything i've got but i know my chanukiah is over twice as old as me#and it's likely older than my father is#and that's what i love about getting judaica in this way. there's something more holy about getting something like this with a story#suddenly i feel it's a solemn privilege to own something so old and beautiful#plus the antique store i got this from had SO many candlesticks and rotary phones???#yes i dialed numbers on those phones. it's really fun and satisfying#i'm asking my dad about wood staining because i really want to make my ideas reality#i want it to be a nature/mountain aesthetic but with jewish motifs

and here's some progress shots. hot tip if anyone needs to make shading that looks alright in a pinch just use gradients. go ham on gradients. you can't go wrong with more gradients
#stoppy.png#shoutout to my background sketch looking like a disaster#i wasn't intending to make this mass attack-#i drew that sketch like 'haha wouldn't it be funny if i did. jk..... unless?'#and then the sketch looked alright so i drew a door.......#...........and then i drew the rest of the epf hq#if you look closely you can see how my lineart on the door kinda looks like shit#and then the more to the right of the canvas you look the more precise everything is#*shaking fist* i can't believe my greatest enemy Circles and Cylindrical Shapes in Perspective came back to haunt me in this one#stupid modern everyday phoning facility (jk i love the modern look) i never want to draw that dumb table area again#(did you guys ever notice that the lights above the circular area are a rotary phone dial? LOVE details like that....)

There was an art to being a switchboard operator. They were some of the best multi taskers ever. They connected every call that came into a business manually. It was fascinating to watch them work. Another lost art. Alas and alack

i need to share the commission i got of my inkling, i love my little guy. my little man
#i love my ocs#i need to talk about splatoon w more folk#bc im at that point i might cave and start writing fanfiction#just to make a completely fictional region that doesnt exist in canon#i need to create#i NEED to play around with the fact#that the technological advancements heavily rely on region#i want to fuck around with the concept of a very old fashioned group of inklings#sequestered away in rolling hills with rice paddies#them having rotary phones and wearing#traditional clothing from the 1800s and earlier#some feudal shit right there#and i need to talk about my own ocs separation from that life into a life full of#wonders and new technology#i need to write about his struggle to learn how to use a flip phone#and that people have cards for purchases instead of straight up currency he carries around in a fat coin purse#i also need to talk about the concept of noble families having their own like#techniques with weapons passed down through the generations#like something people from that area would only recognize#and people who are the history buffs of varying regions

I remember a while ago I was at a flea market and one of the stores there had a bunch of beautiful vintage technology in there, and some of them were old rotary phones, one of them even dated back to the 1920's
My favorite one was this one fancy princess style type rotary phone, y'know the ones with the long neck and smaller round base and it was the pretty light green color! I haven't seen a rotary phone in person in probably a very long time, if i've ever seen one in person at all. Being able to feel one and turn the dial of one myself was waaayyyy better than just listening to videos of people doing it! I felt like I met the love of my life <3
But sadly I couldn't afford it and had to go home phoneless but I haven't stopped thinking about it since
Maybe one day if I'm lucky I'll be able to go back and buy it and that phone won't just be a nice memory anymore
#rotary phone#objectum#probably?#phone related ramblings#i'm sorry I just reaallllyyy love old telephones <3#i miss that phone everyday#hopefully she's still there waiting for me#i can only dream

what's with every language learning app being an enshittified AI-ridden mess where you have to pay $15 a month for it not to be completely useless, but the free alternative being some shit you need a degree in computer science just to install
#gay and obscure nonsense#love and light to the people making open source language learning tools but i do NOT know how to use github#at least i know rosetta stone isn't full of AI yet; if only because it hasn't changed since the 90s#literally the pictures still have rotary phones in them#(i only use RS because a relative gifted me a lifetime subscription so i Might As Well; i don't necessarily recommend it)

Nobody should ever let me wander btw my teacher sent me and my friend to the little bazaar thingy they had at the jcl state thing yesterday to get some cheap trinkets for something and I walked out with new earrings a pin 4 stickers and a Chappell Rome t shirt
#and no the Chappell Rome is not a typo that’s what the shirt was and I love it#gonna do some editing to the back at Latin clubs art day this week but it’s fucking amazing#the earrings are rings earrings that look like a snake eating its own tail#that I got specifically because I also had a little snake pin for my hair that I was wearing#the pin is a little pink rotary phone#and the stickers are each a different Greek god/goddess’ domain#I got one for Athena Apollo Persephone and Artemis#hey my friend got the thing we were sent to get so everyone’s happy#madurday night live

I, finally, got a real phone... a great phone... a ridiculously priced phone.... my phone guy, Hamood, hooked me up. Thanks, Hamood 😊😍 now, I've got to learn what this thing can do. I bet it could make me breakfast if I pushed the right buttons. For the amount that it cost, it should. 😉😁 I can't wait to take photos with it!!
#Hamood#Samsung s24 +#it costs how much?#happiness#love#thank you#sharing#i got a real phone#finally#it's okay i don't need to eat#how much#i miss my rotary phone

masterpost of ALL my psych fanart EVER!!! (mostly 2022)
tip jar
[ID in alt + readmore]
IMAGE 1: psych fanart of shawn spencer holding a furby in his childhood bedroom, exclaiming, “dude! did you know i had a furby?!” on a red rotary phone.
IMAGE 2: shawn and gus sharing a pineapple drink. shawn is excited abt sharing it with gus while gus looks apprehensive/flustered about it.
IMAGE 3: gus showering, peeking an eye open as a question mark pops above his head. a shadow forms behind the curtain.
IMAGE 4: shawn pulling back the curtain and nonchalantly asking gus a question: “hey are we—stop screaming, it’s just me—are we out of cheetos?” gus shrieks and covers himself up.
IMAGE 5: shawn holding lassiter and gus’s heads in psychic concentration. annoyed, lassiter asks, “does he have to do this every time?” gus responds indifferently, “you get used to it.”
IMAGE 6: shawngus redrawn as twink boutta pounce meme. gus is infodumping about special interest #148, explaining what T-rexes used to sound like, while shawn looks at gus fondly, very much not listening.
IMSGE 7: shawn putting his fingers up to his temples, directing all of his energy at a floating slice of pizza. gus pretends to look shocked, holding the pizza up by a string behind his back. lassiter is taken aback, wondering, “how is he doing that?!”
IMAGE 8: headshot busts of lassiter looking annoyed, shawn and gus looking at each other with a knowing apprehension, and juliet looking serious.
IMAGE 9: lassiter grabbing shawn by the collar and shoving a finger in his face, angrily saying, “now you listen here, spencer—“ shawn is distractedly looking down at his mouth and smiling like the cat who got the cream. a tiktok screenshot in the background reads: me instigating a fight becuase the guy was hot and i want him on me.
IMAGE 10: juliet, gus, and shawn redrawn as the powerpuff girls applebees comic meme. gus rambles about state capitals while shawn says exasperatedly, “stop talking about states.” juliet turns to gus and asks “do you wanna go to applebees?” gus responds, “sure, hang on,” then turns to point at shawn and says, “fuck you.” shawn crosses his arms petulantly.
IMAGE 11: various shawn doodles. the 1st looks unimpressed and says, “i could solve all of the unsolved mysteries myself. it’s not that hard.” the 2nd is a redraw of a screencap subtitled: [shawn meows]. the 3rd shawn has his hands up in unearned surrender, saying, “i’m staying out of this” while an arrow pointing at him reads: guy that started it. the 4th is a redraw of shawn covering his mouth in a laugh.
IMAGE 12: 2 shawn doodles. the 1st shawn walking in with a speech bubble of a textpost that reads: hi sorry for ghosting you im being tormented by psychic horrors beyond your wildest comprehensions. the 2nd shawn gestures to himself humble-braggingly with a speech bubble of a textpost that reads: talking about your feelings is SO important i won’t do it but you guys definitely should. an arrow points to him reading: local man w/ undiagnosed adhd + autism allegedly “proud of not having to go to therapy.”
IMAGE 13: 2 gus doodles. the 1st gus is leaning over as if to gossip and says, “heard about pluto? that’s pretty messed up.” an edited textpost above him reads: absolutely love it when gus goes “lately i’m obsessed with” and then says the most mundane thing ever. the 2nd gus points to a laptop agitatedly with a speech bubble of a textpost that reads: did it hurt? when i told you google it and i was right.
IMAGE 14: gus is obliviously typing on his laptop as shawn is staring at him in concentration with his fingers to his temples. brain wave doodles are sent in gus’s direction. shawn’s thought bubble is a textpost that reads: it’s so rude when someone doesn’t feel you yearning deeply for them… bestie how much more brain waves do i have to fire at you.
IMAGE 15: shawn is leaning on gus’s shoulder with an airy delight and says with a speech bubble of a textpost: love the way we finish each others sentences. it’s like we’re soulmates or the beastie boys. gus smiles at him fondly.
IMAGE 16: shawn and gus as furbys named shawnby & furgus. shawn is pineapple-themed with a pony bead necklace that says SIKE! gus is blue and purple with busines pinstripes and a purple-pink tie.
#psych usa#shawn spencer#burton guster#shawngus#juliet o’hara#carlton lassiter#furby#danart#alt text#described#shoutout to the ask that got me off my ass to finish these wips#so interesting to think abt the dif ways ppl recognize my art#there are ppl out there that know me as a psych artist… wauw…
