#so all the joann stores are closing#and we live by a big busy one#and bc theyre getting more busy with the liquidation sale#they're hiring short term employees#my sister is going to interview#she sews and gets most of her fabric from there and shes 16 and this would be her first job#ok great#i think it would be a good opportunity for me#to at the very least have a paycheck for 2 months ?? ish#while i keep looking for something else#but she doesn't want to work with me#theres another store but idk if they're hiring bc theyre not nearly as busy#and i understand why she doesn't want me to . but like. come on#we could get different schedules so she wouldn't have to work With me#she said i wouldn't have wanted to but actually i think i would have welcomed the idea of working my first job with my big brother#hes older and knows what hes doing and can help me and be someone i know#she said i wouldn't have wanted her to start working at my first barnes and noble job. maybe ?#but its different when your little sister is following you lol#she says she just wants to do something on her own and i understand and im trying not to upset her or make her uncomfortable#but shes Telling me not to apply#and. respectfully. i dont think she understands my pov as much as i understand hers#im not 16 years old looking to get my first job for the ~experience~#im a 21yo woman trying to move out of my parents house whos been unemployed for the better part of a year and a half#i NEED money. point blank period literally. im never picky with what i APPLY to. i apply to everything#if theyre desperate for some temporary part time employees then i have a good chance of getting hired#and then I'll have a little bit of money!!!! which is better than nothing!!!!#im trying to be understanding and accommodating but she doesn't understand what its like to NEED a job#she doesn't NEED this job. she wants it#which is good for her and i want it for her but like !!! cant i at least work different hours!!!#ig ill see if the other store is hiring first but i dont have a good feeling about that

Hey! Sorry for lack of updates (I know my zero followers are very upset over it), our cats have been sick with some nasty stuff lately. Our old boy packed a cold in and after two vet trips he's good, but now our calico is sick. But! They're both starting to do better after some antibiotics! Hooray! 🎉
Anyways, have some pictures of this big baby FINALLY learning to sit in my lap!
#our calico has been taking care of the old baby and grooming him like crazy which is probably why shes sick now#shes stayed super playful though. just been sleeping a lot#but yeah. been busy with that and other stuff like helping drive my mom to her interviews (she got a job!! im SO happy for her!!!)#also took a trip to see my nephews and stuff and its just been... super exhausting. love them to death though#one is very mentally ill and the other is very not and its so fucking funny cause the neurotypical one has grown some of the others habits#anyways cried in a target because i wish we lived closer but heyo. scratch crying in a target off my bucket list 👍#istg i never used to cry this much lmao. down bad with big baby syndrome lately#animals#cats#petblr#cat life#catblr#cat lovers#cat#my cat#cat blog#calico#calico cat#cute cats#cats sleeping#sleeping cat#p

Sometimes u just gotta find things to distract you from Arlecchino until she comes out
Like decorating your teapot to be a family home for Arle, her wife Furina and their 3 kids, Lyney Lynette and Freminet
#this is a great way to distract urself from Arlecchino. (obviously (it works great))#technically there are a lot more kids in the house of the hearth than just those 3#but I cannot put them in the teapot nor do I know them so#anyway this has been a fun project but I’m starting to run out of things to do#I’ve already made a bedroom for Arlefuri. a boudoir for Furina where she can work on her projects and things#I made a bedroom for the kids (I didn’t like the idea of separating their bedrooms since they’re all so close)#(I did give Fremi a little privacy nook cause I feel like he needs alone time. so does Lynette but we all know your twin doesn’t count)#the living room has Lyney and Lynette’s gift set as well as Fremi’s in it#I made Arlecchino an office. for Business TM#and I think the last major thing I need to do is rearrange the dining room.#right now it’s just Furina’s giftset but I kinda wanna downsize it#that way it can be a dining room and kitchen#cause like. a family dining room doesn’t need to be that big#if we had all the house of the hearth kids here we’d definitely need that much room + probably more#but we’ve got a family of 5 here they’ll be fine with 1 big dining table#ofc I already have everyone’s outdoor giftsets set up too#and one day Arlecchino’s giftsets will be added but#I don’t know what they are yet so#Arlecchino#Furina //#Arlefuri#Lyney //#Lynette //#Freminet //#Genshin Impact //

the downside to being a sitcom neighbour sort of person is that when rough things happen and emotionally fuck u up a lil bit, it also sounds completely made up
#bert's dead dad tag#found out today the way my dad told mom he wanted a divorce?#he wrote her a letter and left it on the dining room table for her to find on the morning of her fortieth birthday#who the fuck does that dead father#like that is the sort of thing i would entirely make up if i needed everyone at the table to fuckin hate an npc#and at least one person would go 'you're laying it on a little bit heavy'#i know he did work to become a better person as he got older#which is good because BOY howdy was that man a piece of shit in the early 90s#and we are having Complicated feelings about it tonight and also for the last nine months#something something when i was writing his eulogy i came across an old article discussing something he did in the 90s#YDIP (your dad is problematic)#like yeah this is the sort of thing that would have been vaguely acceptable in the cultural context#but like. still objectively bad. potentially ruining several lives sort of bad.#learned this and then wrote the rest of his eulogy about how he was a great guy and how i'm lucky to have been his son#(which was rough enough on its own because i've never said 'i'm [dad's name]'s son' as many times as i did that trip home)#but like what else do you do? i sent off a message looking for more information#and that information if it comes is just gonna sit with me i guess#sure as hell not telling my sister and this whole thing i've been getting through without really having anyone here for me to talk to#(hence the big fuckoff tag rant. your problem now losers who like clicking the read more button)#so even if i get all the answers i want about this one thing it's not gonna do any good except putting an end to one question#but part of having a dead dad who's been out of the business of forming new memories since you came out is having more questions#answering this one's just gonna add even more questions to the pile#but. got fuckall else to do

They should invent therapy for therapists
#‘everyone should be in therapy especially therapists!!’ but u can’t go without like ruining ur career#not to mention we don’t have time bc we’re too busy Providing the therapy#and NOT TO MENTION we either don’t have insurance or can lose it at any time#meaning we either have little or no options in the first place or can need to switch#thus altering the trajectory of our careers even more#I think the ‘therapists need to be in therapy and it’s so easy and there r no obstacles ever’ ppl live in big cities usually#bc that would certainly make a difference#if ur area has like 2 options and you’ve been to therapy at one. then u have One option whether u like it or not#NOT TO MENTION!! the places that sound good for therapy are the same places that sound good to work at.#can’t even afford to consider where my preferred therapist might be. only where my preferred job might be#researching therapists as a therapists means looking for the one place u wouldn’t or couldn’t work#mine#txt#vent post

so many things about selling online are so complicated now and maybe I’m just too overwhelmed to really understand it but either way it boggles my mind and makes me constantly terrified I’m gonna Do Something Wrong so my old storenvy has been perpetually closed for ages. I really don’t know what I’m gonna do with all that old stuff from cons I used to sell at years ago.
like I’d sell it online but I’d have to limit where I am able ship to bc the EU’s new GPSR requirements are an extra layer of things im not even sure how to go about following, as well as the VAT issues that already existed. It would’ve been different if Brexit hadn’t happened but. Well.
it’s sucks tho bc it means I can’t really offer my things to anyone in the EU, or N. Ireland either I think. Storenvy doesn’t actually let you remove regions from the shipping options tho so I would probably have to raise the shipping price to something stratospheric instead.
idk if I’d ever be able to sell at cons again and even then this is all old stock I need to offload and if I sold at cons I really ought to make new stuff. But I have like. Barely any money to pay all the bills and afford food rn it’s getting very close. So there’s no way I can afford ordering a bunch of merch and a table spot and all the other stuff, esp if it might not even sell
sometimes I feel a bit like I have a wall around my brain keeping me from being able to Understand everything I need to understand and it makes me feel so very out of my depth lmao
#I should probably just open commissions again now that i can draw with my ipad to make art#my old sheet probably could do with updating tho it was a bit busy#Sometimes it’s like. Well we couldn’t afford food today which is going to happen for a bit rn#Since my dad got fined for driving without insurance (it had expired the previous day) and he doesn’t really have the means rn#To pay for the insurance cover. My uncle used to pay it bc it used to be his car that dad was just borrowing#but then he gave dad the car proper and shifted the insurance and stuff to him and this is the first year he had to pay it#so it got a bit confused as to when the cover was up and how to go about it#I don’t Want to beg for donations when things get super tight bc there are so many ppl in far worse situations and I can like. Live I guess#But man. It has me constantly on edge bc it’s only one big enough inconvenience away from genuinely being a major problem

how to make business plans: spend 2 weeks looking for a website to make a visual plan guide that you can collaborate with business partners, but you end up nowhere because all of them require paid subscriptions to do more than a few basic things. except you don't want to pay for these because you don't have a business yet and therefore no money!!!! but you need more than basic features (basically you can only put 50-100 items on your board with free account and i will definitely need more)
#WHY DOES EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET HAVE TO BE SUBSCRIPTION NOW#i miss the days where you could use a website and all the features for FREE.#or at best only have one-time fee or subs for advanced stuff only profitable big businesses need and can also afford#the average person is starting to get locked out of the internet. we already pay for the internet itself. everything is too expensive#i need to make my own business so i can afford to live but everything to mae a business costs too much!!!!!!!#im too autistic for this shit. “this shit” being “a profitable member of society”#i cant get a big cool job to make a ton of money and then afford to easily become a millionaire#i bet most millionaires and all billionairs didnt work a day in their life to afford to start their businesses#and if they say they did they lie#lee rambles#i found a free unlimited one but you have to download the program and save everything locally#so it doesn't look like you cam collab with other people which defeats the purpose of what im trying to do 😭#i wanted to use milanote or whatever its called because i liked how you can link separate pages to keep things clear/uncluttered#but i dont want to pay $12 a month i think it was? to put more than 100 items on the boards. that goes so fast#but i might have to use it and just cram things together in a messy fashion to not hit that limit......#you can double the amount by referring people to make an account but still. i hate bekng limited#and being forced to pay to not have limits!!!! let me be free and only pay for advanced stuff i can live without for fuck sake#i dont know what im doing. but im making an attempt to business or something

i'm planning next week's picnic like if one thing goes wrong i'll be publicly beheaded. i'm locked in to such an absurd degree.
#also never shopping in my nearest town again maybe#i saw my cousin's ex who lives an hour away and her friend together which is so....... like wow i really thought i'd seen the last of him#very messy situation#started talking to a cashier/stocker i've spoken with on occasion for several years and she showed me some of her art & poetry (???)#got in line in front of one of my former classmate's dads who tried to proposition me right after my mom died#went to the new dollar store which has four self checkouts & one manned‚ tried to use a self checkout and the cashier said#'we don't have self checkouts' i said 'do you mean today or period' she said 'period' and we discussed how badly that's got them fucked up#they're literally running one of the self checkouts as a manned checkout when things get busy like...#and it was JUST built!! like just less than a year ago i think#i always come home from that town wanting to pull my hair out it's sooo strange!! like everything is craaazy#i also got fucking scammed!#i forgot to check until just now but the grocery store likes to run a weekly sale then not update the computers to reflect it#like they've done this for years and years#and i paid $1.99/lb for apples that were marked down to $1.12/lb so i overpaid a damn dollar#during the panini when it was my only source of groceries sometimes the difference would literally be like $50 because of big ticket items#i'd usually walk out‚ unload and read the receipt‚ then walk back in and get my refund. every friday.#and if i didn't i'd be out like $100/month for nothing on top of everything costing double what it did in the city#that place is fucking cursed. like there's just layers and layers of misery covering every surface.#adam yaps

1. 21 & 23 🫰🏻
1.Fav bg
Seventeen. Their variety of songs within every album and EP, as well as their personalities, makes them my favourite boy group.
21.Recently stanned group
Geenius. They've only released their debut track "Voyage," but I'm obsessed with the song and their voices. I've also been taking note of 8team more 👀
23.How did you get into k-pop?
I first discovered Japanese ballads and R&B in 2020 because I was in lockdown and I needed new music, which probably pushed the algorithm in the right direction. Then early 2021, I came across Seventeen on Youtube, fell in love with their music, got particularly attached to Vernon, but I wasn't involved in kpop fandom spaces at all.
The true fixation started in 2022 through watching all the content Seventeen put out, which then led me to other popular groups. And here we are today.
kpop questions
#ask ophie#my first encoçunter w kpop is kinda funny#it's 2016 and i'm sitting on the bedroom floor of my then high school best friend#and she's explaining that she discovered korean pop music and that they're called blckpnk#mind you FIVE YEARS PRIOR WIZ KHALIFA released black and yellow and because i lived in a very rural area that song was still very trendy#and SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD SOUND LIKE THAT BC I WAS A DUMB TEEN#and so she puts it on#and i am flabbergasted#not only because it didnt sound like wiz khalifa but also bc i had never heard such music before#and it truly felt we were listening to something illegal that no one knew of#meanwhile in reality kpop was already big booming business and we were just two silly white girls in west europe#anyway-

Random thoughts: Can't wait until I move again next year back to the valley. Super excited for all our local festivals and celebrations!! Sadly they dont happen where I am now, no one even has heard of them.
Big L to these folks they don't know the freedom of trading skills and the fresh sea and local wildlife. Or celebrating just to celebrate. Where are the get togethers? Where are the potlucks? The community? The rules of politeness and friendliness are different here and it's strange how friendly from the valley is seen as overextending yourself here.
Also I can't wait to see the mechanical riding bull at the various ocean creature festivals we do! Also no one does any cèilidh here? It is strange and interesting and folks around this city (very far fromthe valley) are different? But I am acclimating, although I still am looking forward to going back too
#syncrovoid.txt#rambling#we have festivals every other weekend in the valley! some big and some are town specific#cèilidh are like social get togethers. like casual parties really? its a local word!#some folks will sing or bring instruments to them too#also there is SO many less artists around here? where are the hand sculptures? the many painters? the small art galleries all around town?#the houses are so sad here too. none are blue or yellow or orange or green. theyre all the same few bland colours#where is the fun? where is the pizzazz? where is the sparks of personality?#home sick#the houses are so crowded too? no one has space. and everything here is branded. there's no generational stores? few family run businesses?#there is public transportation though! that is limited to one bus in the valley where the towns can be an hour or two a part#it is odd though. starting to miss home i think. i do miss the acceptance of artists a lot. in the valley it is celebrated!#nearly everyone has some arts they are good at or enjoy#and personal time (time away from work) is just a given#there is like no connection to the land or history here either?#ghough the valley is a hodgepodge of things at least we still have some local slang and words and whatnot#anywho! it is what it is#its weird to feel homesickness when ive moved like 10 times before? only other place i feel like this towards is my forest#i spent nearly all my time there when we lived there. last day before we moved they started beinging in the machines to tear it down#climbed high in a tree on the farthest edges and wayched as they began bulldozing it down and tearing it up#aucks to know all the wonders and life has been paved over and destroyed#but i cant go back to that home (the forest) because it no longer exists. the valley still exists though so!! that is great!!#anyways i am rambling haha

Me googling ethical ways to exploit childrens labor:
#might have all my kids be trained as classical opera singers and then network w old money bastards so we can rob them#perhaps ill have a cat burglar crime syndicate. maybe i can become a batman villain. i could finally live my dreams as one of his rogues.#i could be called big mama or something. maybe i could dominate the girl scout cookies business by impersonating girl scouts#maybe i could do a cookie hustle w the kids and have them shuckin cookies all day#maybe we could open a lemonade stand#or insurance fraud???#we could turn to a life of crime one way or another. kids would make excellent international jewel thieves
