Niente di quello che è successo mi rende speciale. Ma la mia vita è un dono troppo grande, un debito che non potrò mai ripagare.
“Nothing that happened makes me special. But my life is a gift that is too great — a debt I can never repay.”
— Thi Bui, The Best We Could Do

Thi Bui's The Best We Could Do absolutely broke me. I was weeping openly through most of the last chapter. And the illustration is simultaneously beautiful and intricately woven into the storytelling.
Read this for the 2023 Fold Challenge March prompt and I'm so glad I did.

They had a kind of mutual unspoken gender envy situation as kids where Ginger liked doing 'boy stuff' more while Bunny liked doing 'girl stuff'; both of which were strict secrets from their parents ofc . So they hid their toys in each other's rooms and pretended to be into them to cover for each other 🧡 I imagine Bunny was really into mlp or smthn similiar as a lamb and had to ask *Ginger* to ask their parents for an mlp thing for Christmas so their dad wouldn't berate him for wanting a 'girl's toy'
#hoof draws#hoofology#bunny + ginger#also i got really attached to their secretary/nanny type character i made up in 3 seconds#this kinda relationship is special to me idk....#even as kids they have this unspoken 'both of our genders are fucked up and we're not doing it right . so we will cover for each other' thi#g. ginger accompanies Bunny to the store so she can start trying on skirts and such to act like she's the one buying girl clothes#despite being visibly. very butch

brought a new pc with 2 terabytes of storage and the power of a small space station last night <3 for solas <3
#IM SO HAPPY U DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND#the way veilguard isnt even hard to run but i need to be able to play the game in 9k . i NEED to see my rook's every individual pore#or what is actually the point. lol#anyway for the australian girlies id def recommend nebulapc if ur thinking of buying. esp w coupons i saved like 1k lol insanity#i only bought one harddrive so later on i could potentially buy another and have 4 tb LOL 🤪 but like girl i think 2tb is enough for now#like my current pc has literally 250gb of space. KJHDFGJKHFGKDJ#also i think i'm going to give cyberpunk another try on pc this time. it would be crazy if it STILL ran like shit after all this jgkfjgkfjg#ANYWAY. CANT WAIT TO FEEL LIKE A HUMAN AGAIN now that im not saving every single dollar or feeling guilty for any purchases that werent Thi#now i can go back to my true nature while i wait for my build to ship :) financial incompetence <3

mighta made a post about this before but GOD nothing is quite like using good and high quality tools for your job, no matter what it is.
I do a lot of electronics repair, dis- and reassembly, and other kinds of precision maintenance so I hugely profit off of well built screwdrivers and stuff.
Got myself some really fancy precision tweezers for my birthday last year, originally listed for 35 but the seller offered me a discount to 25€ so I couldn't say no
Been loving them ever since, every day I have an excuse to use these is a good day and they haven't let me down.
Beautiful little things. I did admittedly break off about 2mm worth of point from one side, but I reshaped and sharpened them with a find grind stone to be the same length and so they close at the right point.
Better than the standard I think! I use these for a lot more "heavy" precision work, such as poking against small connectors or wiggling out screws still holding onto the last thread rotation meaning the tip being slightly beefier and not as slender as it was is an improvement for me.
I'd never use these to lever, wedge, or pry anything that requires force and they're so so lovely to work with.
Dumont No. 2, highly recommended

jewelry making has a surprisingly good effort to what-ppl-will-pay ratio, which is nice, but i always feel at least somewhat guilty when someone gives me $10 for earrings that were $3 of materials and 10 minutes of work
#zeke.txt#its straight up one of those things where like#if i priced it at $5 ppl would wonder whats wrong with it and not buy it#but if i price it the way i do theyre like omg so cheap!#So win for me i guess. not beating the allegations thi

Found a very cool pastel cat sweater at the bins but I have literally nothing that matches it well, so I always struggle to make outfits with it lol
#ootd#pastel#I really really want to SELL CLOTHES I keep talking about selling clothes.. its just such a process..hhhhhhh#Because you have to take pictures. edit the pictures. list them somewhere. write descriptions. choose a price. advertise the fact you listed#it somewhere. Repeat with literally hundreds of items (since I get bulk clothes at the bins and etc.). I have a lot of cool stuff that I thi#nk people into similar styles would want to buy. and I always need money to fund art and healthcare expenses and eventually moving to a diff#erent place someday. replacing broken electronics. etc. etc. So a wise decision is 'well sell a lot of the old clothes you have'. It is so#difficutl with my specific functioning issues though since it's such a long process and also packing things up. taking them to the post offi#ce etc. takes timing since I always have to be driven by roomates and stuff. etc. etc.#I think the way I was considering getting around this was to sell clothing in 'packs' like.. A pack of 5 or 6 matching items the same shade#of pink. or all green items with flowers so it's the same 'nature theme'. Or even selling full outfits or something. so that way I can kind#of bundle items. Instead of the effort of photograohing and listing literally 50 individual items. Turn them into 5 packs of 10. Or 10 packs#of 5. etc. ? But I think I never got too far with that because I was uncertain how that'd actually go over in terms of whether people would#buy groups of items instead of just individual. Especially whole outfits or something like. I think you'd get a wider audience giving people#more individual choice to choose seperate things instead of putting them together and going 'this is just what you get' or etc.#but I could also see it being cool. You already have some guaranteed stuff that matches. They have a theme. Especially if it's something you#like. Love brown themed mori kei items? here's 5 of them already together. etc. etc. etc.#ANYWAY. Came to mind because as much as I love anything with cats on it that's a light color. I also am chronically warm natured due to my#health issues so I overheat immensely if I wear sweaters. even in the winter I don't wear that many layers lol. So a sweater like this is ju#st impratical for me outside of taking one or two outfit photos with it. but I don't think I could ever actually wear it even if I really wa#nt to. But it's nice! and very cool!! so a good candidtate for selling. Give it to someone who would be happier to have it than I would in#the sense that maybe they could actually WEAR it lol.#ANYWAY... rhgh#everything......... difficult.......... whye#Also sweater is too hot for me and doesn't match anything I own even though it's perfect and I love cats..... whye....... cruele world#self
