The straight up jumpscare I got opening my unassuming Goodwill picture frame and finding this hiding behind the cardboard backing.

It began with a hat, in praise of charity shops and thrift stores, recycling, random starts for rewarding writing careers, the majesty, allure and tragedy of mountains, books I'm working on, a little horse https://mailchi.mp/6caa636c6926/it-began-with-a-hat-dave-of-legend-allure-tragedy-and-majesty-a-little-horse?

This is probably Too Niche, but to the vivid dreamers out there: do you ever get nostalgic for a place from your dreams that isn't real? I have recurring locations in my dreams that just. don't exist. And I find myself thinking about them or having "memories" about them even though they don't exist and never have. But they're real in my heart even though I'll never go there.
(tell me about these places in the tags, I'm so curious)

Today one of my cats needed to undergo a cardiac checkup, which was going to take a few hours . . . but also the clinic was an hour's drive from my house so it would have been pointless to go home only to turn around and drive right back again. So instead I hit all the local thrift shops (which had the added bonus of letting me pick up items I could sell to offset vet bills, ha ha) while I waited for the clinic to let me know I could pick him up.
So, Goodwill is a widespread thrift store in the US, most of which are set up something like a typical store (except nothing is new in box obviously), with items divvied up by category. The toys are in one area, the blouses are all on the same rack and are sorted by size, etc etc.
Tumblr media
However, there are also Goodwill Outlet stores which instead have long blue troughs on wheels, with items thrown in higglety pigglety.
Tumblr media
Shoppers scrabble through the items, and periodically the employees shoo them away, remove a whole row of troughs from the floor, and roll out new troughs. The shoppers hover around, and as soon as the employees give the word everyone falls upon the new troughs like a feeding frenzy.
Not only that, but at these Goodwills you pay for goods by the pound. I think the price varies by location; at this one it was $1.26 per pound.
I've been to Goodwill Outlets before but never found many toys (though I did pick up a duvet I've used for over 10 years and I once found a perfect condition Fluppy Dog), but this one? OMG. SO many toys! I found two G1 ponies, a G3 Ponyville playset, a Barbie jeep from the 90s and so much more.
Anyway, if you have a Goodwill Outlet store near you I recommend checking it out, the chaos is pretty fun.

do you know of any good responses for when cishets call people gay as an insult? also love your blog and it’s helped me a lot!
I'm glad my blog has helped!!!
Not gonna lie here, I've actually never been called gay as an insult. I've been mistaken for being gay pretty often though. (We love wearing mens clothes and short hair in this house though lol)
But the best response I've ever had to any insult is simply 'yeah, so?' or 'Okay, and?'. It kinda takes the the insult down a notch by acting like you are not affected by it
Though of course anyone who has experienced this specific problem is welcome to share your thoughts in the notes!!!!!
