#live in basements with no windows

the issue with what-about-ism is that it should have been an excellent opportunity to challenge someone's stance by introducing another point of view and expanding the bubble that people live in, and instead it's become an opportunity to suggest extreme edge cases that are treated as a joke rather than an additional voice in the matter (and yeah, most of the time it does feel like a joke if not just a sign of someone missing the point).
#legal talks#i remember seeing a post where someone was talking about how ridiculous it was that someone didn't know what prosciutto was and was very#dubious of the fact that someone wouldn't know what it is#but like... if you don't eat pork products why would you even go in the pork section of the deli or the pork aisle at the supermarket#and there is a significant portion of the population who don't eat pork so it's not ridiculous to point out that some people may not have#seen it or gone to restaurants that sell it etc.#^ good what about ism that highlights different experiences and challenges the bubble someone lives in & offers a new perspective#someone making a post saying hey guys you should look out the window and enjoy the spring vibes and someone saying what about people who#live in basements with no windows#^ bad what about ism. extreme edge case. go outside.#or maybe a lot of people do live in window-less basements... idk i just have dirt walls and floors under my house and we knocked down a wal#and found another room#no one would live there

The TV version of "a fixer upper" that is very clearly a fully structurally sound house where they've just loosened a few screws here or there or left things unsecured is very funny to me as someone who lived in a house that literally should have been condemned for most of my life.
#911 spoilers#it is. funny to me.#our bathroom floor was literally just a giant hole into the basement that my dad put unsecured plywood over#the ceiling had a deep crack running the length of the downstairs#and pieces of the plaster ceiling would just randomly crack off when someone walked upstairs#there was a hidden staircase in the backroom that i didn't even know existed until i was 13 and my dad had to tear up the main stairs#because the floor of the back room was not stable enough to walk on#like i literally do not know how that house stayed standing until i managed to help my parents buy a new house#it was a death trap#anyway#fun childhood memories i guess#oh also the gas lines were so fucked our stove literally exploded once and blew out all the windows in the kitchen#thank god my mother had walked into the living room to do something a couple minutes before

there is someone repeatedly ringing the doorbell to the basement (which I didn't even realize had a bell???) but I am in a towel and I don't live in the basement so this is simply not my problem
#i peered out my window and i don't recognize him so i know it's not one of the guys who lives down there#my guess is he's touring one of the rooms downstairs#but if that's the case then my landlord should be here to let him in#i am NOT going into the basement and answering the door to some strange man while im in a towel

an apartment with a balcony would fix me i think
#ive been missing my old place back in wpg it didnt have a balcony but we were on the third floor amd we could open the windows wide open#and even though living in that place was the most miserable and isolated ive ever felt. standing by tha window gave me some comfort and#i miss doing that. cant really do that anymore tho when ur half submerged in the basement with soil probably soaked w dog piss 😭#someday maybe#el.mdp

grinning and vibrating got a tour for one of the units in this oldass gothic house that used to be a frat house in the 30s. eyes bugging out of my skull i want to live here so bad
#shared kitchen i dont give a fuck. let me live here#theres a LIBRARY included. theres a gilded fireplace. there are wrought iron windows. theres a haunted party basement. my god#all my life i have yearned for the vaguely shitty dark academia lifestyle and now i see her before me

woke up this morning thinking maybe it'd be good to get back into nature photography and meterorology. driving around and taking photos of storms has been a hobby of mine since i was a kid and now that i can just get in the car and go it might be a good time to get into that again even if it's just now and then
#i've always wanted to be a storm chaser which is ironic considering most of my life#my anxiety has gone through the roof whenever severe storms would roll through#nowadays i'm fine. maybe a little too calm about it since the last bunch of times the sirens went off i just went yea i'm not getting up#i still don't like when the sirens go off at night for obvious reasons but i think one was at like 1a#and i just laid in bed like 'yea well if i die at least i died comfortable' and just rolled over lol#to be completely fair tho i live on a ranch style. house with no basement and not really any safe areas to hunker down in#the closet is right next to the furnace and there's windows in every room and a skylight in the only windowless room#so kinda just gotta wait it out and hope for the best lol#plus y'know us midwesterners and our love of watching storms from our garages#i should get a nice comfy chair for the garage for storm season hm#if i can get it cleaned up enough for sure

#i love the sky so much my biggest source of comfort during school last year#alas i live in a basement and i cant see the sky easily from my window.....whats a guy gotta do to gaze at a cloud#finn.txt

march is funny cause anywhere south from here is like SPRING IS COMING YAY
and im like...



not here lmao.
#yes yes that is snow piling up in my windows#it also currently actively snowing#it's been snowing every other day since the 4 snow storms back to back last month x.x#probably worth adding that i live in a semi-basement#the one positive thing about that much snow is that it improved the insulation l m a o#also do you want spider plant babies cause my plant keeps giving me babies and idk what to do with them#i already gave away like 20 i swear#might mean i need a bigger pot for the big one so that it focuses on growin instead of making babies hmm

Imagine you have to set up yakumo's enclosure for the next couple months. How do you set it up and what do you put in there?
oh NO.! THE PROPPHECY HAS BEenm FUFILLED
i am standing in my room, leggies rooted to the floor. i am in shock .frozen and i have no idea how to proceed. there is a perpetual pathetically sobbing serpent under my blankie.
#stares at the camera and stage whispers#i can't be responsible for another living creature. i can't. or . er. i can. but I SHOULDN'T#i'll have to suppress every violent urge in my body to keep this thing alive for several months#i CANNOT fling him out the window. i WILL NOT grab his entire face and squeeze. I SHALL NOT chew on his tail.#now i'm reminded of that post where it's a pretty princess cage on the floor and comments go [that aint big enough for a dog]#and OP is all [it's not FOR a dog 😀]#yeah. that's me right now imagining a full grown yakumo in a cage by my bedside#SO FOR EASE OF MY IMAGINATION AND TO increase yaku's chance of surviving these next months#i'm going to try real hard to imagine him exclusively in pocket snake form (scrunches up my face in valiant effort)#his enclosure (crib?!?!) is flanked on all sides by eiden plushies#since yaku is an adult there is a smaller chance of him suffocating on eiden in his sleep. wait. actually#arranges the eiden walls to give some pockets of air. i don't trust him. he WILL suffocate on eiden given the opportunity#he gets one of those tiny dollhouse cooking sets for enrichment LOL#or i'll give him a bunch of those make-your-own gummy kits with elaborate setups and tiny egg gummies#crying yaku is the excuse i need to finally get a humidifier#i can survive not misting myself.. usually... but yaku will cry himself into dehydration. it's misting time#he gets an entire alcove closed off in the corner with his basic needs met. i cannot perceive#he can lurk in privacy as much as he wants. there are at least TWO hot rocks in there with garukaru's faces painted on em#there is a duplicate open-space alcove next to it for when he actually wants something from me LOL#is he a free range snake? can i take him to a bunch of restaurants and shove food into my sleeve for him? he wants to sample the delights..#tempted to put a bell on him just so if he gets loose in the basement i'll know to fish him out#but he's pretty cautious... he won't get into any fatal situations in the house right? ...does he know how to swim?!#at least one day is reserved for testing yaku's swimming capabilities.#he is going into the bathtub while it has a film of water. gonna test his traction. i hope i won't get panic-strangled#asks

(to the 40yo man)#i mean the one dude there is a total tom king warrior which like oop but hes nice so its okay. let him push some woman of tomorrow i can#handle it lol. anyways like the college one way better but havent been since september bc the AWW drops keep mostly coinciding w my trips#home and all. someday#what was i saying. oh yeah my potatoes are ready bye

just saw my childhood best friend for the first time in 2 years. crazy how so much time can pass and yet we can talk like it's only been hours. we've known each other since we were three years old and we spent every day of our youth together playing, going on adventures, running around, and talking about our lives. now she's got a kid and a second on the way, and im on my way to graduate college, and it's crazy how much has changed and stayed the same.
#ive missed her so much#ive convinced myself that theres no place for me in her life since shes a mom now and we've both grown up#but we sat in the garden of her parents house and talking until the stars came out and the air got cold#her little girl running around and having fun while we caught up on each others lives and reminisced of our childhood#i miss her i miss her i miss her#i miss being young i miss having no worries other than what game we would play that day#i miss us sitting in the basement and discussing our lives over our books and american girl dolls#the sleepovers at her families houses and the trips to the mall where we just window shopped and talked#text#text post

today's dracula daily, with the bit about Lucy going back to bed once thwarted, made me weirdly nostalgic for the couple years in high school where I made sure to be standing in my doorway at 10 pm so that when my brother came out of his room next door i could flip him 180 degrees so he'd go back to bed before he had a chance to trip over anything or run into things. he'd do it the entire time school was in session and all through winter break and the first couple weeks of summer.
it took ages to figure out that he WAS sleep walking, because he looked and sounded awake. it took several rounds of him asking where mom was and me telling and eventually showing him to realize, because if he wasn't brought to her directly he's just go back to bed and i'd assume it wasn't that important. when i finally brought him directly to her, it was still all "where's mom" and we connected the dots. i don't know that we would have if my dad wasn't such a notorious sleep walker
#ink post#dracula daily#my family#my dad doesn't do it anymore but my mom once caught him stuck in the blinds bc he'd tried to climb out the window when they were newlyweds#luckily they lived in a basement apartment and the deal was him finishing the basement in lieu of rent#and the literally 6 hour old blinds could be replaced easily because there was an extra set

I had one, JUST ONE, conversation with my sister about how I’d rather just live my life alone/only have friends than be in a romantic relationship, and now I’m only getting ads for hinge about some stupid “love story that was almost never told 🥺 ” “downloadable our app to find yours🥺✨👉👈” bitch, please.
Like, I just wanna be the creepy old hag in the woods who lives in a super cozy hobbit hole, and makes yummy desserts all the time, with some light witchcraft on the side. Maybe also have a coven of other hags to have tea with on the weekends. Auntie Ethel style, ya know? It’d be so funny to write cryptic letters back and forth with my coven, just have our own secret stories, that are forever ongoing. That’s the life I want
(Also, I know it’s probably just a coincidence, but it’s still annoying)
#personal#that life just sounds so idyllic to me#tending my garden feeding the birds outside writing letters in my sunroom#tax evasion#that last one was a joke I swear#I wanna have a cozy basement/cellar in my hobbit hole where I can keep authentic alchemy equipment#I know literally nothing about alchemy but I think it’d still be cool#but like old fashioned alchemy stuff. like 15-1600s#if for no other reason than it’s pretty to look at#I want a cozy fireplace upstairs in the living room#and a big window so I can look out at the trees and stuff#I also think it’d be cool to learn whittling and pottery so I can make my own cooking utensils#so basically what I’m saying is I wanna hit the lottery lmao
