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

So I always, always have my phone on me because I have various health issues that could make me end up on the floor so it's a safety thing for me, so I can always call for help. I'm not sure how common that is though?

This poll partially inspired by conversations with my grandma, who does not keep her phone or her Life Alert button thing with her but probably should

#the person behind the yarn #based partially on a conversation with my grandma #who does think it's kind of weird I always have my phone in reach #like. ALWAYS. my phone is ALWAYS in reach #the only exception is if I am in the same room as a family member and get up to like go get a snack or something #I might leave my phone on the couch while I do that but only if I am either in line of sight #or will definitely be heard if I fall #like. I have not fallen and not been able to reach a phone often?#just the one time but it was a memorable experience #well okay twice but one time I was in earshot of my dad #and another time I had a bad asthma attack and couldn't stand up to get my inhaler #but did have my phone in my pocket so I was able to call for help #so like. I ALWAYS have my phone charged and in my pocket

#God knows what fresh Horrors await me tomorrow.#at this point I fully expect a plane to crash into my house #I've had two really bad days in a row #I already didn't want to be here #I don't know what to do #I don't trust any of the people who are supposed to be taken care of me or figuring things out #because so far not a single person has proven able to tell me the same thing fucking twice #they all look at each other's work and say it's no good #and I'm fucking done #I'm just done #I'm not even very sick #this could potentially get bad but I'm okay right now #what I am is a miserable person trapped in an endless cycle of repetitive appointments and phone calls that go absolutely fucking nowhere

no bro the beauty of rottmnt is that there ISN’T one specific brother who actually REALLY has all the common sense trying to herd the other 3 like wayward children.

the beauty of rottmnt is that they are ALL idiots and all GET to be idiots and they pass the reasonable brain cell around depending on the shenanigans they’re up to. i won’t take this slander and erasure of any of their rights to be complete and sincere dumbasses. they are STUPID and they are COMPETENT, each of them, as individuals and as a unit

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt movie #i mean this is gonna happen w every ensemble show theres always gonna be the most popular fan fave getting all the credit #but its esp insulting in rise lmfao like #'oh leo has all the common sense if u really think about it' leo cut warren stone in half and accidentally portaled pirates to tahiti #'raph is the only one with the brain cell' raph panic ate his phone once raph wanted to strap hawks to their feet for skates #'donnie' u mean constant barely restrained violence boy? created sentient robo children on accident TWICE boy?#mikey 'whoa this bridge is so rickety LETS SEE HOW FAR IT SWINGS BABY' peak baby brother boy???#like the fun in it is so much in that they all have moments where they shine and moments where they're STUPID TEEN BOYS #and ykw april included she's the fifth sibling!!!!!!!#she's just as chaotic as any of them!!!!#you know who in this family had solid reasonable brain cells? gram gram #end of list

police, banks, legal actors: never ever ever pay demands sent to you by text or phone. signed invoices only. get receipts.

collection companies: if we send a text with a sum and a bank number but no other information, people will surely pay

#this has only happened to me twice but it pisses me off so much #listen guys i would love to pay you i hate having outstanding costs but for the fucking love of god #make a slight effort to not look *exactly* like the other 25 scam messages i got this week #if i had a nickel #for every text i get warning that my 'payment' is 'overdue' please send 200 dollars to 'this number' from a sender that looks #vaguely like a bank #from an automated or stock phone number #i could probably retire soon #brought to you by someone who had to contact a vendor this week going hey hi hello why the fuck have i gotten a debt notice #and they said #we sent you an sms #and if i hadnt lived 8hrs from their office #i would have shown up at their front desk #and strangled them to death with my bare hands.

feel like karen everytime i have to call the police for a noise complaint but man. when your shit music is so loud i can hear it at the other end of the block while all my windows are closed and im wearing ear plugs and it's midnight and you've been drunkenly chanting for 2 hours calling the cops is actually the polite course of action because the course of action you deserve is to be eviscerated by a beast

#ive only been driven to noise complaints twice in the couple years weve lived here #i hate phone calls worse than anything in the world so it has to get really bad #but COME ON #i was wearing earplugs!!!#anyway this time the lady at the station told me someone else had already called abt that house too lmao #feeling solidarity with my non shit neighbors tonight #personal

God i hate Google

#so as ive talked abt before i cant put external links in the descriptions of my youtube videos because of copyright strikes-#-i got seven years ago. so i decided to bite the bullet like ok fuck it i'll give them a photo of my ID to get advanced features back #1. IT USED THE INNER CAMERA. FOR A PHOTO OF MY ID. i had to turn my phone around awkwardly and practically take a selfie with it #2. i had to retake it twice because the photo was ''too blurry'' all the text is legible???#and itll probably get rejected because the photo frame was SQUARE even tho my drivers permit is RECTANGULAR #so part of it (like half my face) is out of frame #or maybe it'll get rejected because my google name doesnt match my legal name. who knows #UUGGHH

Interview. Interview. Oh Another interview. Interview. Interview. Guess what's next? An interview that a manager is like "Today at 2pm sound good?" which I took bc yeah, it was good...

I'm tired.

Now will ANY OF THEM ACTUALLY Call Me Back???

#taks speaks #literally woke up to an email from a place that interviewed me two days ago saying i wasn't selected for an interview #like??? What???#YOU JUST INTERVIEWED ME #there's one of them that i'm hoping for bc it has the lovely 8-5 hours. not per shift. just being open #and it's a tourist trap #that has good health benefits and gets me into other tourist traps around town For Free +3 guests max #like hello. dad can visit. bring both sisters. we're going touristing #and sea world at 50% off which is pretty damn cool #i'm gonna start harassing them daily on the phone as of wednesday #if that gas station food prep job doesn't get back #which pays a touch more with a 10% discount on GAS #BUT they're the ones who sent that weird email this morning saying i didn't make it to the interview stage which um #why? what? you talked to me twice?#I'm QUALIFIED? It's the same damn job i previously had but for a gas station. i mean come on #ugh. my lowest quality options are part time at a busier and more annoying tourist trap #or *sighs* dominos.#at least dominos gets good tips tho #everyday for like. the last week has been interviews #except yesterday which tbh i slept most of it #i need a fuckin job dude. come on #i have also created a list of managers i would rather be interviewed by #at the bottom of the list is intimidating older woman. next is slightly younger than that woman who thinks i don't look local enough #somewhere in the middle is that really chill old lady who gave me advice about chafing in the heat. great lady #and top is black man in his 20s. very chill. easy to talk to. i've been interviewed by two and the first one was younger than me #and i intimidated him. bc i knew more about interviewing laws than he did. whoops. missed out on the job but he was nice #today's though? KNEW HIS SHIT. Perfect manager. I'd want to work for him. Chill. easy to talk to and understood the laws well #...just realized the bar is that low. wow.#sadly he's the dominos guy and that job is second to last on my preferred list #i have most definitely noticed that the person interviewing you sets the daily tone for the job

I’m always so fascinated by people’s bad roommate stories. I’m not sure I’ll ever live with someone I haven’t vetted extensively beforehand ever again

#every living situation where i’ve been assigned roommates randomly; i always seem to get one person who is an absolute angel #and 1-2 people who are honestly fucked up #i lived in halls 1 year of undergrad and everyone was kind of equally insane. honestly no one stood out as particularly bad #because everyone was just constantly screaming. i dealt with it by going home most weekends and getting noise cancelling headphones #3rd year of undergrad i lived in a suite which.. honestly was basically an apartment. had a living room/kitchenette; a toilet; a shower room #and 4 bedrooms #one of my roommates i’m still friends with to this day but honestly they were and are kind of a ridiculous person #like they were actively dealing drugs most of the year and their boyfriend was around most of the time and they would bone LOUDLY #and that’s the good roommate. so you can imagine the other two #one of the others.. honestly wasn’t a bad roommate; she was helpful and clean and civil #she was loud as hell though. she used to have attacks of insomnia and decide to rearrange her furniture at 3 in the morning #and we shared a wall. she also had an illegal pet rabbit.#our personalities just didn’t mesh well; like it became clear pretty fast that we were going to spend as little time together as possible #third roommate was loud; rude; annoying and gross. she’d be calling people at 7am just to yell down the phone to them about her problems #i was like who is picking up the phone to this bitch. she also picked up on my homosexual vibes in that way that homophobic straight girls #always seem to have; and was convinced i had a crush on her. and she bought a betta fish (allowed according to dorm rules) and then it died #because she didn’t want to take care of it properly. and she refused to do anything for herself #like she was always breaking shit and leaving it because she didn’t want to email or call maintenance. so then i’d have to do it #because it was always something we specifically shared. like a set of shelves she put a fucking 5lb shampoo bottle on. twice.#in grad school it was almost the same thing. one angel roommate who was kind of messy but otherwise fantastic #she rolled the best joints i have ever seen. and i still miss her cat cali #it was the men that were the problem. one was an international student who left after a month and bothered nobody #like to the point i didn’t notice when he moved out because he was so innocuous #the other two though….. so one of them started hooking up with my favourite roommate and immediately became SUPER annoying #the other one stole shit; left lights on all the time; left fridge and cupboard and freezer doors open; tried to guilt trip me #into giving him my weed; played mariah carey at 2am; never bought a single cleaning product or household item for the collective #unless you told him to…… he was even using my toothpaste at one point. like. sir.#oh and he was always dirtying other people’s dishes and cookware and leaving them in the sink for days. and leaving big chunks of food #in the sink. it was fucking gross #personal

Someone take my phone off me because I have typed the words I'm in love with you to my crush and then deleted them immediately after but I get closer and closer to actually sending it everyday I'm gonna explode

#sumarmz waffles #lesbianism is not for the weak #especially when you dont even know if its actually love or just unhealthy obsession 😭#ive experienced limerance once i am not doing that crap again #this is the consequences of codependent homoerotic friendships #words of advice from a 15 year old: if ur also queer friend says you should get married if x happens #run.#Its the start of the end #the beginning of the borderline dating stage where you both THINK you have a crush on each other and its painfully obvious #yet neither of you confess #yet you still act gay #then you both get over the crush #and you discover you liked each other #and you lie awake in agony every night thinking of what couldve been #then the crush resurfaces #but only for you #if i had a nickel for everytime i was in a codependent homoerotic friendship where i at some point believed i was obsessively in love #id have two nickels.#which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice #phineas and ferv reference go crazy #im about to pass out as i write this #tell my story #my eyelids are dropping #ive drooped my phone multiplrer times #yet i must oerservere

annnnd now it's 3 am and I'm drawing and I don't wanna stop. but I have to drive to my uni in like. 6 hours. to collect some stupid signatures so I can get my diploma or whatever. 🙄

#... it's a one hour drive which is A LOT for me/for around here.#but at least it's all rural roads. not a lot of traffic. and I basically just have to stay on the one road. so it's not *too* likely that #I'll get lost (I still might. last year I got lost TWICE driving back from the dentist that I had been going to for 25 years.)#but hey that's what phones and GPS are for :')#I still think it's fucking RIDICULOUS that I have to drive all that way just to get like. 4 signatures on a piece of paper.#it's literally just to confirm that I don't have anything that belongs to the university anymore (like keys or books)#whyyyy is that not a digital thing? why is that not just like. something clicking a button? or 4 someones. I don't care.#it's fucking stupid.#anyway I've never driven there myself (took the train for my classes there. but that'd be 3 and a half hours instead of 1 hour and nope I am #not doing that when I can just take the car #🙃)#anyway I'm not going to bed lol oops gotta draw dan('s suits)#personal

Officially been hired as a Customer Service Rep (mostly just scheduling trips to the doctor for people). Gotta head in Tuesday to fill out papers and piss in a cup.

In the mean time, I get to enjoy good ol’ anxiety bouncing around in my head throwing out every kind of worse case scenario until then.

#ya’ll #the bullshit I had to go through trying to get my references to fucking cooperate #and answer their damn phones #you don’t even know #its been 5 years since my last job #had to get my mental health in check cause I was bad off #and since I couldn’t get my disability it’s back to selling my soul to the government again #yeehaw #this should be a chill job plus it pays twice what the schools were paying me #will be nice to have income again instead of $37 dollars and a cobweb in my bank account #adulting #personal #jobs #customer service representative

I'm listening to my roommate try to dispute some charges on his credit card and I'm realizing that I'm not entirely sure this guy has ever worked in retail for a significant amount of time.

#personal #he has yet to use the words dispute or fraudulent at all and he's been on the phone for 15 minutes #and maybe it's just because I worked in hospitality where we did a lot more direct stuff with credit cards #but like dude. you're literally 30.#also you bought something cheap from a sketchy website and they started to charge you membership fees #own the mistake maybe?#(they cancelled his card and he's complaining that he can't use it until he gets a new one! Like dude! I've done this at least twice! how!)#like? use your debit card? go get cash?#maybe don't spend money recklessly for once? (oof)#also I love that tumblr reworked their mobile layout but the make post button doesn't work anymore lmao #had to break out the computer just for this slfjaldks
