If I could go back in time and experience one thing again it would be back to one of my summers when I was between 8 and 11 to a trip to my grandparents house so I could curl up on their brown 1980s carpet in front of the swamp cooler and take a nap.
#grandpa would be in his blue recliner#watching jeopardy or wheel of fortune#my aunts and uncles would be playing cards at the table#grandma would be cooking something#the cousins would either be in watching tv with grandpa or out in the rv parked in the front playing sonic#in my wildest 'i ak suddenly exorbitantly rich' dreams#i can buy that property#and fix up the trailer#and restore my grandpa's garden and roses#i think that would fix me if im being honest#not me being nostalgic on main

the crows would have absolutely loved monopoly
#i feel so sad they never got to play#au where all they do. every day. is play monopoly#thats the heist thats the plot#them enjoying and bickering#all six of them#cuz all six are happy and alive#(im ignoring kiwi sorry guys)#kaz would get waaaaaay too into it#wylan would be incredible#he memorises the property names based off the colours#nina doesnt even care about winning she just buys the properties that kaz goes for#they never let jesper be banker even though he begs to be every time#the only person who can be banker is matthias#inej secretly moves her piece extra steps during other people's turns and only kaz realises#but he doesn't say anything even though he wants to win#the winner is almost always either kaz or wylan#inej comes close a few times#jesper has never once won but still claims he's best#nina tries to seduce matthias into giving her more money#it (almost) never works#soc#six of crows#ck#crooked kingdom#kaz#inej#kaz brekker#kanej#matthias helvar#jesper

I think it would be really funny if Bruce USED to be Alfreds favorite, but the minute he realized Dick has way more respect for him and views him as a ‘beloved grandparent’ he tossed him aside.
Bruce is fine with this, because it means Alfreds hovering is down 50%.
To me thats just grand parent behaviour being mean to their actual child but that favourite grand child gets everything
#ask#anon#also im thinking about my version of alfred again#and ghost him watching dick#as he decides to give away all his money#and getting so mad bc bitch#if alfred wanted to give away that money he could have#stop saying its what alfred would have wanted#he wanted you to use it to buy properties that you can then be a landlord of and omgod i know how alfred actually got rich

I am so unbelievably pissed off. FUCK HOAs
Oh, my trash/recycling bin can't be visible except on pickup day? Ok whatever fine I hate you but I can deal with this
Weekly inspections?????? FU FU FU FU FU
SECOND NOTICE ALSO WE'RE CHARGING YOU MONEY TO SEND YOU CERTIFIED MAIL OF THIS TOTALLY LEGIT TOTALLY SECOND NOTICE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION cue me: checks notes. Hmm. My recycling bin was. on the curb. on recycling pickup day. You know. The day it has to be out. The day it is motherfucking ALLOWED TO BE FUCKING OUT AND VISIBLE.
so. 1) not a violation
I have sent them the trash AND recycling pickup schedules, which are DIFFERENT, btw
I have disputed the fact of the violation
I have disputed the linking of this "violation" to a previous violation MONTHS AGO--their "first notice" in this case was a "Courtesy Notice" LITERALLY 5 MONTHS AGO and they've done so many inspections since then and my bin CLEARLY WASN'T OUT IN THOSE INTERVENING MONTHS so WTMFH
So I am posting like a crazy person here instead of sending the absolutely deranged email I almost sent (I did send a slightly less deranged version with the disputes, and requesting a hearing)
OMG. It has been. Less than one hour since I learned this fun fun news. My bin was out YESTERDAY, y'all. YESTERDAY. I am going to blow a gasket
#it's a relatively privileged problem to have (omg i have a home truly i am grateful) but it's still a goddamned problem and i'm allowed#to fucking complain about it#in case it needs to be said#*rolling my eyes*#i advocate for free/actually affordable housing for everyone who needs it because we ALL deserve a safe secure stable home#whatever type of home that may be#it is absolutely goddamned ridiculous that megacorps can buy all the housing#rent it out at extortionate rates and evict people willy nilly#and we're talking about a “housing crisis” and not a “STOP LETTING CORPORATIONS AND BILLIONAIRES HOARD ALL THE HOUSING” crisis#goddamn.#ha elect me president (ahaha don't do this i am not a good public speaker) and I'll push congress to pass some really neat legislation#hey be more direct: elect me to congress (ahaha don't do this) and i'll WRITE some goddamn nifty legislation and yell about it as long and#as loud as i can until people start to just fucking say yes to make me shut the fuck up#(i know that's not how it works. again. don't actually elect me to a government position)#exemplia gratis:#No individual person shall own more than 6 homes UNLESS they pay a Housing Market Shrinkage Fee for removing viable housing from the market#why 6 and not 2? 2 is a lot! it's excessive! but having A vacation home shouldn't be a crime. Having 5 vacation homes is ridiculous and#awful and whatever but it's not likely to be the source of all our greatest “housing shortage” problems. no. I'm aiming for the absolutely#monstrously greedy and egregious motherfuckers who---ok#hang on. how many homes does the average min and max homeowner own? I would like to see data on that. but anyway#the next part of the legislation:#Homes owned >6 shall be charged X% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee UNLESS they are rented for affordable (15% or less than renter net income)#housing and are actively occupied by said renters. Rented out and charging more than 15% of renter's net? still gotta pay up.#EMPTY housing >6 shall be subject to an additional Y% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee (tax? should I call it a tax?) which increases with ever#month that the housing goes unoccupied. no one living in it? sell it rent it or pay the fuck up. and still pay the fuck up if you rent it#for way too goddamn much money#but like. less. we only REALLY hate you if you sit on empty houses that you don't even let anyone use#ok that's individuals. now onto BUSINESSES#ok so immediately it gets a little complicated cuz like presumably there's rental management businesses that don't own the rental propertie#that they manage BUT there are also companies that just outright own a shitfuckton of housing and THIS is the truly egregious monstrous sid

the only reason anyone would willingly choose to live in sunnydale is that the property value is really low. which begs the question, why the fuck is cordelia living there? isn't her family supposed to be rich or something? i know cordelia's dad was committing tax fraud, but if you're going to get rich by stealing from the government you might as well use the money to not live on a hellmouth.
#something something the property value is low which is why a single mother who works at an art gallery can afford to buy *that* house#then again i think hank is a successful businessman of some sort and he was probably paying alimony and child support#but still it's a big ass house#and that's probably a big reason why joyce chose sunnydale beyond destiny or whatever#but literally why would rich people live there#cordelia chase#btvs#buffy the vampire slayer

If I had millions of dollars I'd be giving that away until I had no million dollars
#how can rich people just buy huge houses? just genuinely wondering why they get a mansion?#what do you do with all that space?#plus tons of cars and other properties? is that what it takes to be happy in life?#ren won't shut up#someone could say they were having a bad day and I'd give them one trillion dollars#if i had it#vote me for president! i will ruin the economy

had a terrible day for no real reason but at least I got tipsy in my rprofessor’s crazy penthouse apartment which I think is why you go to grad school
#like architectural digest level of crazy penthouse apartment i would post my sneaky photos if that was not an insane violation of privacy#this too can happen to you if you buy manhattan property in the eighties with five of your grad school friends. i fucking guess#personal

Hello friends! Just a quick kh4f programming note: I'll be out of commission for most of, if not all of today, as I'm having a minor medical procedure done. (Outpatient, everything's fine, dw! 🫶🏻) So if anything notable happens (fully expecting Ash to announce ai2 the second I'm sedated 😌) and I'm MIA... that's why lol. Try not to have too much fun without me! 😘💙
#i overslept the day Superbloom was announced so it would only be right for Ashton to announce his next album while I'm anesthetized 😂#i almost hope he does that'd be so perfect lmao#what other chaos might happen#if he randomly goes live - someone record it for me#if he randomly announces a concert and tickets go on sale in 5 minutes - someone buy me a ticket#if he finally reveals the back tattoo i've been begging for for the past 5 years -#someone call my doctor and ask her to put me under for longer bc I'm not ready for that#do u like how this entire scenario only involves Ashton content#if one of his friends posts something that'll be a fun treat for me to wake up to 😌#but if it's Luke being slutty someone warn me bc I might want to stay on hospital property to consume that in my weakened state#fr tho i'm fine don't worry i'm just having some testing done no big deal#well a big deal to me bc i have ✨trauma✨ from this particular test when i had it done in the past 😜#but we're being Brave and doing it anyways ✌🏻#and then if i feel better later i can come online afterwards and say anything i want and blame it on the dr*gs so really it's all a win 🤡#ok that's enough silliness love u ttyl 💙💙#personal

why am I already stressing about the time I'll have to move out. girl you only just bought a wardrobe. chill
#let me explain my thought process:#I had to repaint a tiny section of a wall. because mould.#> it was a pain because i suck at this sort of things#> started thinking: oh god will I have to repaint everything when I move out. I need to check my contract#> my fixed term contract ends in january. now I'm worried about how much they'll raise my rent#> I go “what if I can't afford it. can I even move anywhere else in town”#> I go check rightmove. there's no single flat within my budget in town anymore lol#> now I'm stressed. thinking if I should buy a flat instead. would it be cheaper than renting#> not really lol. property prices have also gone up!#> and even if I found something I'm in a fixed term contract until 2025#> what if I find a flat I could afford to buy but I'm stuck in a fixed term contract?#> I go on reddit to find some answers#> I do not like the answers I find. I am now more stressed than before#normal 20 minutes in my brain.#also I haven't actually checked my contract#oh god will I have to repaint everything when I move out...

people just consistently have no concept of what goes into the art they see! like I follow a lot of artists whose jewelry is more in line with your description of what goes into your blankets than your earrings in terms of materials and time (I'm talking like painstakingly hand-beaded earrings with antique beads and precious metal findings, backed with hide that they smoked themselves) and they also get people commenting on their prices being too high :(((
yuuup
i mean time-wise it still wouldn't be that much longer. i also hand-bead details on some earrings and stuff it's still not like... a massively time consuming process or anything. blankets take 100+ hours. this choker took me 30 minutes. the necklace only a little longer, despite all the bead connecting going on there
but the materials cost of using. well. high quality materials is what gets you
there's a reason i use metal alloys and glass beads instead of sterling silver and real stone beads, and that reason is "i do not want to pay for sterling silver and real stones that shit is expensive"
(smoking hides also probably takes longer? although i feel like most of that process would be "waiting")
which is again a double sided issue of "undercharging for precious metals/stones/beads" and "overcharging for metal alloy and plastic" that made a clusterfuck baby somewhere in the middle
#gotta thread all those beads onto little bits of metal and then bend the metal into loops at either end#which is fiddly and tedious and slightly makes you want to walk into traffic#but still a whole universe removed from the time fibre arts take#nice prettily coloured glass beads can easily be 5x cheaper than like. actual minerals#babs at the stall next to me buys Actual Minerals because she has customers who believe in the inherent properties of crystals#and she's far too nice to buy pretty beads that look like obsidian or amethyst or whatever but aren't#i on the other hand am here purely for the aesthetic value. black is black#you're not catching me paying 30p-per-bead no SIR

made banana chocolate chip pancake & slathered em in butter & my mom’s homemade red currant jelly & also homemade smoked maple syrup
#the smoke was a surprise. i opened a new jar of maple syrup that i picked up at christmas that was labeled ‘lil smokey’#and i was like damn! this is smoky!#my dad built a smoker a couple years ago so i guess it was only a matter of time til my mom threw some maple syrup in there#it’s good but it looks like i got two jars of just smoky syrup & no regular hahahaha#ive talked about this before but i’m so spoiled for maple syrup & jams and jellies. AND pickles & salsa#why buy store made shit when i can have the ones my MOMMY makes for FREE!#photo record#food tag#they have a little apartment in the barn out back that they do on air bnb sometimes & i was in there for christmas bc there wasn’t a bed#for me in the house & she put out a little plate of some of her canned stuff & a little price list & explainations that it’s all made here#& the trees are tapped on the property… really cute. i hope people buy them#the language used on the sign was really funny too i wish i could remember what they called it. ‘the gardens’ or something.#‘the farm’ but not that. ‘all trees tapped are in the gardens’ what gardens bro. you mean the WOODS???#chatpost

Me, knowing full well I'm gonna be evicted from the house I've lived in since I was 9 in just a few short months, socially exhauted from watching a constant stream of people come in and look around with intent to buy my childhood home for three days in a row now, knowing that this'll keep happening for the rest of the week and right this moment people are engaged in a bidding war over the truest home I've ever lived in and that I'm powerless to do anything about it since I'm broke as shit: Man why do I feel so bad right now
#I remember we used to move around a lot when I was a kid#but this place was where we finally settled for so long#like I know on some level we'll make it through this since we always have before but just. man.#this shit sucks dude#this little shithole of a house#with ghosts in the walls and asbestos coating the outside#is the cheapest place in the entire town#and even HERE it feels like we're barely making ends meet#and so just watching people waltz around with clear intent to take this from us#the only place in town we can fucking afford#just kinda pisses me off tbh#especially with rent and housing prices skyrocketing since fucking covid#one of the guys apparently wanted to buy this property just to rent out to people#and I'm glad I wasn't in the room for that one because I don't think I could have held my tongue for that one#plus all these tours have been fucking with my sleep schedule and I'm exhausted as shit lol#plus the stupid fucking property service that my ''homeowner'' does deliberately anonymizes the shit out of him#so I don't even have a name or a face to be pissed at#just this vague nebulous force that's been bleeding us of money for years#who's never once done anything to help upkeep the house he owns#and now that he's faced with a fairly large cost he can't ignore#(something with the city and new pipes)#he's just gonna sell it and make it someone else's problem#and just completely uproot and fuck over our lives in the process#and the worst part is that I know this isn't even an uncommon experience#landlords pull this bullshit all the time#and it drives me insane that people are just fucking OKAY with that#not to speak for everyone since I'm just one broke queer person#but this shit should not be allowed to stand#well I've hit the limit on how many tags I'm allowed to post so I guess that's the end of that#Pun's text Posts

By the way, I am about to dedicate my life to redesigning someone's custom world they made for the sims 3 just so I can recreate a town around the entire premise of Barbie Horse Adventures. As in the horse island summer camp of the Riding Camp game combined with the enemy horse camps and rare secret breed of horse of Barbie and her Sisters in a Pony Tale
#first step: find a good custom world#second step: download some good buildings because I am not a good builder#third step: redesign the town so the two riding camps have adequate camp space and the central town is in the middle#fourth step: create all my sims and populate the town (this will be very lengthy)#fifth step: start the game so I can send the heads of the enemy camps to the correct boarding schools and to buy the correct property.#also while there set the relationships of people in town#sixth step: save the file so it can be loaded as a complete world by anyone who wants to play it (aka me when I want to reset the town)
