What its like being a part of the 1%

travel is the ultimate social currency. and places like London, NYC, Maldives, Paris are been-there-done-that. truly wealthy people (and I mean the 1% of the 1%) crave exotic, unique experiences because they can share about their stories to other people. that is also what attracts them to people - unbelievable stories or experiences. these could be places like niseko, pearl island, phulay bay, etc.

Price insensitive, but value conscious. If a night at the Ritz is going to cost me $x and the place is gorgeous but the staff is inattentive, I'm never staying there again... even if it is the "Ritz," because I have received minimal value and I have not been made to feel welcomed. Being nickel and dimed is absolutely detestable. people might think that the truly wealthy just go about spending nights in every five or seven stars, which is true for the most part, but if they have one bad experience, they're never going there again. highly, highly unforgiving of negative experiences or inconsistent experiences be it people or places.

comparative poverty exists, and there will always be a hierarchy in these circles. one might perceive that the family with the most wealth-in-hand will be the most influential, when in reality, the factors are slightly different: it is a combination of public perception + adhering to their faith's values and national customs + wealth + national and global connections (not "I know them" but "they know us") + ability to execute large scale projects, charity and businesses + being decisive and opinionated + access to information that the public could never have.

behind every "king" is a "kingmaker" who gets them the right deals, is business savvy, is more influential than the king, has grassroots connections, diplomatic, geopolitically intelligent and essentially controls everything. very few kings are both kings and kingmakers, but they exist.

yes, people here wear H&M and Zara, its not embarrassing, but the pieces won't be "star" pieces but casual, basic ones - like plain t-shirts, sweatpants, simple pieces that no one cares to ask where its from.

Sorry, y'all, for the random spam, but I had a lot of things I was doing and exploring, and I now finally have the motivation to share a lot of changes that have happened in my life. Okay, so my life is pretty great, and I've been actively manifesting for a while now. But I had a problem. Outside of shifting when it comes to my manifestations, for the most part, I like them to happen in a "realistic way.” (I wasn’t like this at the beginning ofc but now I am). I know that sounds stupid, but for example, when I manifested a car, I didn’t just have it appear on my driveway. I like to be a part of the process and watch it blossom into my reality (very quickly, may I add, because I'm impatient and a "now, now, now" type person), but I like to see my creations, you know?

So I was talking about my friends about some revisions I'd like to see in my state and life, more so bigger manifestations outside of myself for my community, you know? I've been feeling very grateful, and outside of manifesting, I love to dabble in philanthropy and other hobbies, and I'd like that to intertwine with manifesting as well!

There were a few things I had in mind, but again, I'm picky and annoying, and I was like, "Hmm, how will this come to fruition in my way?" I tried to plan it out, which is like (?? Rule number one of manifestation: don't worry about the how), but I actually do like to plan things out sometimes because I'm annoying, and when it happens, I'm like, "Hehe, that was me, go shawty."

Anyways, here were a few things I wanted:

* I visited Vienna, Austria in the summer, and I found the concept of their homeless shelters very admiring. In Vienna, they have emergency flats provided by the city for safe housing in emergency situations. I wanted something like that in my state, but living in America, which is very anti-homeless, it seemed challenging. I mean they spend more money on funding anti-homeless architecture than solving the ever so rising mental health and housing crisis but that’s a topic for another day. However, I was inspired by the Vienna Women's Refuge Association and their efforts to support women in need and I wanted something like that here.

* I wanted many restaurants that I've seen in other cities I've visited to be established in my city. My city is pretty big, but for some reason, it's often ignored when it comes to those corporations. I wanted to visualize all my favorite restaurants and make a list of where I want them, downtown, by my house, etc. It wasn't coming together, and I couldn't find the desire to script it. I also wanted more unique clothing stores because I’ve gotten more into fashion these past few months.

* I wanted my city to have more of the vibes of LA and NYC, without actually moving there. I love my city, but I wanted it to have that same energy. However, I didn't know how to get to that end point like I normally do with my other desires.

Honestly, I kind of put these desires on the back burner and just forgot about them, knowing that my life is already going in the direction I want it to. Then, we began getting a lot of news about how gentrification is about to occur, and how the prices in my city are going up. There's a lot of new construction happening for seemingly no reason. It turns out a huge tech company is establishing companies in my city, which will bring in new jobs, money, and people. At first, I was annoyed, thinking these people need to stay away, but then I remembered that I literally asked for this. Gentrification and all the other things that come along with migration, jobs, and a rising economy tie into what I wanted for my city to be like NYC and LA. I'm already seeing the renovation reflect what I imagined, and I am a happy girl.

Then, the next like week or so idk, my state gave funding to my fav mall and they received a couple billion dollars for a massive renovation. At first, I thought it was irrelevant, but then I saw a list of 300 establishments, clothes stores and restaurants that will be around my mall area. Every restaurant I desired, even the ones I only thought about for a second, were on that list. It's so funny when you forget about your manifestations and they come together even better than you could imagine. The mall getting renovated is one that I visit all the time, and now I can have all my favorite indulgences in one space. I'm super excited for everything to be done.

* On that same day, I saw that my state's very conservative governor (btw I went to school with his grandson and he was asintelligent as a bag of rocks) Is opening very affordable housing for human trafficking victims. This cause is close to my heart. Though i don’t personally know any victims myself I have read of many cases on the news and trials like cyntonia brown would make my blood boil. I’m surprised I didn’t think of this of myself but I’m m glad to see steps being taken to support these survivors.

So, sometimes, when we put our desires on the back burner, they can still manifest in unexpected and amazing ways.I seriously forgot about all of this and was just living my life, not even consciously trying to manifest it, and it happened anyway. Also, this may seem very stupid, but hey, all desires should be manifested no matter how small or stupid. There's this kind of big influencer at my school, and she seems really sweet and someone who I'd get along with. She's really political and speaks her mind, and has a bunch of reels about spirituality and feminism which is really dope considering how people act on social media, especially Instagram.

Anyways, I just thought one time, like a week ago, it would be nice to be friends with her or meet her or something, and out of nowhere, she slid up on my story yesterday and messaged me 😭😭😭. It was so funny to me, but yeah, we have plans to hang out. So yeah, even though sometimes I like planning my manifestations to see them happen in color, the same thing can happen without you planning either way. It will work out better than I expected, I promise don't worry.

Do you know, all I keep thinking about re these negative anon asks is how all of what Jimin supposedly said was filmed probably April 23, when he was in NYC. Did he seem unhappy to anyone in that video? Did he seem unhappy in 2023 as a whole. No.

So after this interview (no we have it) we got Jimin travelling to NY to meet with JK, (all waxed.. sorry I digress), to go in a date on silver day to a very romantic looking restaurant, to then spend time travelling around CT, including a stay in a very romantic LGBTQ+ friendly cabin, camping under the trees, to them flirting in front of our salads a week or so later, JK naked in bed, as you do. Then we got the back selca of the century from Jimin on JKs birthday (everyone say thank you to Jimin), to Jimin posting a picture of a whale they both drew, and now we know they did that in the back of a boat watching a very romantic sunset. Then we got JK walking in on Jimins production diary live, and Jimins smile that could light up the sky it was that big and bright. Then if that wasn’t all, we got 2017 Jikook cosplayers going to Japan together all cosy in the airports, and then, then, the biggest most loudest thing they have done in my opinion, the buddy enlistment. 

I mean seriously people. We may not know, or ever know, the true nature of the relationship between them but do you know what? We don’t need to know do we. Mainly because it’s non of our business, but also because no matter what, the love and devotion these two have is unparalleled. They have a truly beautiful bond that is unique to them. They know what they mean to one another, we get to peak when they let us, but that’s all. It’s not our right to debate and seek the truth, that’s their right. It’s not up to us to decide what they are, or what the truth is, that’s up to them. It’s called plausible deniability for a reason, they allow us in a bit, but then pull back equally as fast. As is their right. 

I’ve been watching BV3 to pass some time and even in the short clips we see of them in that season, you can see their special bond. They say it themselves in their ending interviews. They click, they are similar. In AYS we are going to see hours of just them, no other members to pan to, or Segway to, just them, together. Do people realise what a privilege that is? I hope so. 

I for one wish people would just stop with speculation and inane asks and either bogg off if you are an anti, or stay and appreciate what they do allow us to see if themselves, especially during AYS, because if that twitter op is anything to go by, we are in for something really special. 

Hey, you know anon. I love you. I adore you. Come be my friend? 💜💜

Thanks for sharing!

Fun Fact: Gooseberry Cookie is the only cookie that knows about Blueberry Milk's alter ego.

You know what I really liked - and still do - about Cold Case?

It's a TV show that celebrates life, history, and the unique culture of a city other than Los Angeles or New York.

Don't get me wrong, there are excellent shows about LA and NYC. But everything starts to look the same. Everyone lives in urban apartments, everyone has public transit, school playgrounds are totally paved, everyone shops at bodegas, etc. TV makes the continental United States look totally homogenous.

Cold Case wasn't about influencers and effortlessly glamorous college students in a coastal city. It told stories of dock workers. Mill workers. Janitors. Stay-at-home moms. Mechanics. Blue collar families trying to get by, all in the specific backdrop of Philadelphia throughout its history, including economic downturns. And they did a reasonably good job making it look like the actual city.

Was it a perfect show? Nah. But it's a compelling one that tells good stories about a city with tremendous history and culture. It told stories other shows didn't tell.

Much love to Cold Case, Longmire, due South, Fargo, Corner Gas, and any other show that showcases a unique place and the people who call it home.

THE FIVE TIMES YOU KNEW LOVE ON TOUR SCRAPBOOK

thank you for creating this fun challenge @harrystylesgotmefuckedup and to @oh-honey-styles for tagging me <3

1) Which tour stop was your favorite?

London is always the best because it’s home. I also loved Tokyo, Harry went there a few years back and always talked about it and it was sweet to see the city from the POV of someone who loves it so much. We had a few days off before and after the shows so we were able to play tourists which is always fun. 

2) Tour fits! Which was your number one?

Hmmmm… this is hard but the last Wembley show. Heart overalls with no shirt. Delicious.

3) Harry's performed numerous covers on tour. If you had to choose, which has been his best for you? Which song would be a dream cover?

Hopelessly Devoted. I tried to get him to do Summer Lovin’ or really lean into the Danny Zucko of it all and go full Grease Lightin' but luckily for me - I still got what I wanted just a little bit after the show.

4) Lucky you, you've got access to any piece of Harry's merch you'd like. What are you choosing?

Our custom gazelles. That was my idea! It started with the custom final show shirts from the 2018 tour and now every end of tour run he comes up with something unique to give to all the band and crew.

5) Choose your favorite bathroom sign from Love on Tour

Kiwee. I still use it to this day!

6) Which opening act has been your favorite?

Wolf Alice! That was a special request from me - I showed Harry their music back in 2016. If I had a choice they’d be the openers from the very start.

7) You can add any of Harry's songs to the set list from any of his past albums. Which one?

Ever Since New York. You should've seen my reaction when he played it on NYC Night 15. He didn't give me any heads up. I was floored.

8) What are your very own essentials for being away from home on tour?

My work computer and film camera.

9) What's Harry like on tour? Any memorable moments, favorite crowd interactions?

I've been lucky enough to be with Harry through every tour in his career even through the tail end of the band. And I can honestly say this is the most relaxed I have ever seen him on a tour. He has his schedule down to a science. He wakes up in the morning after letting himself have a 'lie-in' (usually is up by 9 which to me is not a lie in but for a man who usually wakes up at 6 it is) we have breakfast together always. It’s a must. And then he’s off to the arena by mid-day while I work but I always make sure to get to the arena early so we can watch the opener together. And then I give him his space to do his ~rituals~ and watch the show from the back or the bleachers. One fun fact that not many would know is as soon as he gets out of a show and back to the hotel or home it’s straight to the treadmill to perform the show through one more time. So it’s a good 90 minutes before he’s in bed again. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

10) In honor of Harry's 30th birthday: Harry played at Acrisure Arena in Thousand Palms, CA on his 29th birthday. Aside from the show, how did the two of you celebrate?

This was nice because I didn’t have to actually plan the party! We had an afters at the arena filled with lots of cake from Hansen’s. We snuck into the golf course at the Madison once we got back to where we were staying - a very drunk yet memorable decision.

this was so fun ❤️ im going to upload more of this story but it’s nice to just see them through the years this way as well. tagging @didhewinkback @for-fucks-sake-h @gucciwins @andwhenshesays @harry-on-broadway @hslllot 🤪 and honestly anyone who writes and want to do one of these !!!!

On November 26th we venerate Elevated Ancestor & Hoodoo Saint Mama Sojourner Truth on the 140th anniversary of her passing 🕊

An abolitionist, Womens’ Rights activist, & itinerant evangelist, Mama Sojourner Truth truly lived up to her name as one of the fiercest, relentless, & unstoppable pro-abolitionist voices of the 19th Century.

Given the name, Isabella, at birth, Mama Truth was born around 1797 to Dutch-speaking enslaved parents on Colonel Ardinburgh Hurley's plantation in Ulster County, NY. The actual date of her birth remains unknown. At the age of 9 she was sold away from her parents. She was passed through the hands of several slavers across NY State before ending up with the Dumonts. As was the case for most enslaved folks in the rural North, Isabella was forcibly isolated from other slaves and suffered physical & sexual abuse at the hands of the Dumonts.

Alone in the nearby woods, she found peace. Here, she'd speak to Spirit/God. Inspired by her many conversations with Spirit, one day in 1826, she walked away from Dumont Farm to freedom. Although the journey tempted her to return to the Dumonts, she stayed the course after she was struck by a vision of a man she identified as Jesus, during which she felt "baptized in the Holy Spirit," and thus gained the strength & confidence to push on. Like countless Ancestors before her, Isabella called on Spirit & supernatural forces for the power to survive her conditions.

Eventually, she married & birthed 5 children. On July 4, 1827, the NY State Legislature emancipated the enslaved, including Isabella & her children. Yet the Dumont family who "owned" her, refused to comply. Before dawn the next morning, with her youngest baby cradled in her arms, she sought refuge 5 miles away with an abolitionist family. During her time there, she converted to Pentecostal and joined their local Methodist church.

She later then moved again, this time with one of her eldest sons, Peter, in NYC wherein by day she worked as a live-in domestic. Here she found & joined a religious cult called, The Kingdom. It's leader, Matthias, beat Isabella and forced her to take on the heaviest workload. Soon thereafter she became a Pentecostal preacher. Her faith and preaching along with her life story as an emancipated slave drew the attentions of abolitionists & women's rights crusaders. Her speeches were not political by nature. They were based on her unique interpretation - as a woman and a former slave -of the Christian Bible.

On June 1st 1863, Sojourner Truth was born. Isabella took on this new name for herself as she headed East to, “exhort the people to embrace Jesus, and refrain from sin". She lived in a utopian community called, The Northampton Association for Education & Industry, which was devoted to transcending class, race, & gender. She preached at camp meetings for a few years before the community was dissolved. Even though the community lasted less than five years, many highly influential & reform-minded individuals visited the Northampton community; including prolific abolitionist leaders such as Frederick Douglass & William Lloyd Garrison.

Through these connections, she began to speak at public events on behalf of slave abolition and women’s rights. Eventually, this compelled her infamous 1851,“Ar’nt I A Woman” speech at a Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, OH. This was a significant moment in the sociopolitical climate of the country at the time because, for the first time for most, "slave" became equated to women & "woman" became equated to Black. She became increasingly involved on the issue of Women's suffrage, but eventually separated her voice from leaders such as Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton one they asserted that they would not support the Black vote if Women were not also granted the same right.

In 1857, Mama Truth purchased a house with the help of friends in a small Spiritualist community called, Harmonia, near Battle Creek, MI. Here she lived thriving the years of supporting hwrself thrift paid speaking events, selling photographs of herself, publishing her book titled, "Narrative of Sojourner Truth" which was written by an amanuensis, as she was illiterate.

Once the Civil War began, Mama Truth pushed for the inclusion of Blacks in the Union Army, which was not intitially the case. She then poured her energy into gathering food & clothing supplies for the underserved volunteer regiments of Black Union soldiers. This is when the plight freed slaves captured her attention, as many of whom were living in refugee camps in Washington D.C.. Mama Truth embarked on a round-trip journey from her home near Battle Creek,MI to D.C. to meet with President Abraham Lincoln to discuss the conditions of the freedmen refugees in D.C. & across the North.

After the Civil War, she championed the idea of a colony for freed slaves out West where they could galvanize their desires to become self-reliant. Mama Truth garnered numerous signatures for her petition urging the U.S. Government to provide land for this endeavor. Although she presented this petition to then President Ulysses S. Grant, her mission never materialized. Nevertheless, in the Fall of 1879, a large migration of Southern freedmen ventured westward to start begin life anew. Mama Truth saw this as God's Divine Plan for our people. Despite her old age, Mama Truth traveled to Kansas to help them. Four years later, Mama Sojourner Truth passed away at her home near Battle Creek, MI. She was believed to be 86.

"How came Jesus into the world? Through God who created him and woman who bore him. Man, where is your part? But the women are coming up blessed by God and few of the men are coming up with them. But man is in a tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming on him, and he is surely between a hawk an' a buzzard." - Sojourner Truth @ the 1851 Ohio Women's Convention.

We pour libations & give 💐 today as we celebrate Mama Truth her selfless service and pioneering vision for the freedom & self-determination of our people. May her life be a reminder of: the power of stillness & deep meditation, to lead with Spirit, & the grit of perseverance that's alive in our blood.

Offering suggestions: woodland soil, water, Pentecostal prayers/ scripture, read/share her speeches & written words.

‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️

so with the whole custody stuff

during the time my own parents were fighting over who gets the kids, we were living in New York City. yes NYC. for most of the court battles the Judge favored my mother because of that assumption that women are more nurturing and caring, and this Judge's misogyny was so god awful that even if my mother's entire medical team, GP, psychiatrist and psychologist, therapist and family counselor ordered by CPS, gave the Judge all the paper work in the world that says point blank my mother was unfit to care for her children, that she was mentally unstable, physically disabled and completely dependent on my father due to these, she could not possibly hold custody over me and my siblings.

and yet? the Judge repeatedly favored my mother. my dad had my entire family on his side, both my mom's family and his family, it was without a doubt that my mother could not care for her kids,while my father absolutely can. but, my parents had several court hearings, far more than there was needed because my mother pushed and pushed, I think my mom liked the sort of power she got by having a whole ass Judge on her side. all of thiscausing me and my siblings to stay in a sort of limbo in the same foster home for around 6 years.

obviously this whole ordeal was super unfair, but it's not because of prejudice against my dad, but because misogyny was raging and practically determining the entire legal case, that it ended up not in favor of the man. I'm sure my mom knew that what was happening was due to the stereotype, but part of who my mom was was that she LOVED to get her way, even if it hurt her or others in the process.

I have a lot more on this story but this is just everything relevant to the topic rn

(thank you for reaching out to me<3 I really should share my story more since I have such a unique personal view on the topics of misogyny and misandry)

I invited this person's input from the tags on one of the earlier asks on the subject. Thank you for sending in!

[midnightsun-if]

Hihi! This is sort of an ask for the Office Romance spin-off, I hope that’s okay, but if Secretary!MC surprised Cienna with a surprise vacation (assuming Helena was around to cover her responsibilities) how would she react? Also, what would her and the rest of the casts dream vacations be like?

Koda: Would love to go see the lavender fields within Bolivia— I’ve mentioned before how much he adores flowers. He’d be the happiest bean ever if he got to be around those. Or, simply going to see his family is more than enough for him.

Scarlett: As long as it’s not London? Scarlett doesn’t truly have a preference— she’s been to a lot of places and has enjoyed them for their own unique nuances. Paris, Rome, or Athens, is always interesting places to visit. If you’re there she already has the prettiest sight to look at regardless.

Cyrus/Cyra: They prefer to go to warmer climates— makes them feel at home. Though, I don’t know if I’d necessarily say they enjoy beach vacations all that much… Egypt would be a place they’d love to visit as an example. (If you wanted to go on a beach vacation they’d be fine with that too.)

Quinn: Going to the Amazon, National Parks, or simply going backpacking, are their idea of a great vacation— simply spending time outside. They love seeing the different wildlife within each place they go to, and how it harmonizes with the area as a whole.

Caden: As long as the place isn’t too cold? Caden doesn’t truly have a preference. Fiji or the Bahamas would probably be their first picks as it’s warm, has a beautiful view, and they don’t have to worry about packing extra layers.

Sloane: Does their room count? They’re not really the traveling or vacationing sort, but Australia is a place that they’ve enjoyed visiting and you’d probably be able to convince them to go back.

Blake: The colder the better for them. Switzerland would definitely be a place they’d love to spend a vacation or Sweden/Finland/Norway… They don’t like extreme heat as it reminds them too much of home.

Reginald/Regina: They’ve always wanted to go to NYC and Washington D.C. Not for any particular reason, barring the usual tourist spots, other than they’ve always been intrigued by them and would like to see them in person.

I think Cienna would have a difficult time accepting the gift— not because she doesn’t appreciate it, but she truly doesn’t think she’s earned said vacation. There’s still so much work she has to get done, things she needs to get prepared, leaving it all behind to “relax” feels irresponsible to her. She’d probably agree once Helena spoke to her— making Cienna understand that she’s done more than enough to earn dozens of vacations.

Honestly? Cienna would enjoy simply going to Celestia, spending time within her room there, or going to one of the properties that the family owns and staying there…

Why I Chose an Outpost Club Shared Apartment

After four years of floating around co-living spaces in New York City, I thought I should put my comprehensive (and admittedly niche) knowledge of the city co-living scene to good use by creating this blog. My intention is to help others cut through the fat and find the right company by sharing my experiences.

I’m originally from Denmark, which is famous for its cohousing model, so the idea was quite familiar to me. Cohousing is designed so that you’re likely to run into others and it creates more opportunity to socialize. I sought out co-living in order to make friends and live in community, something that is difficult to find in modern times My journey started with Common, which at the time seemed to be the most well-known co-living company in New York.

While I had pleasant housemates while at Common, their maintenance team was not attentive, which proved quite frustrating whenever an eletric kettle broke/an appliance wasn’t working properly. The location itself was quite nice and had a modern, renovated look. Once my short-term lease was up (which is a huge benefit of co-living companies; they offer flexible terms), I knew I wanted to try something new, which is when I took a chance on 

What I wish I knew four years ago: For co-living in NYC, the best choice by far is Outpost Club.

I decided to explore a new neighborhood in the city and settled on The Greenpoint House. I was attracted by Greenpoint’s many quirky shops, bars, and bakeries, and the many wonderful features of this building: There’s a rooftop, furnished backyard, in-unit laundry, and a gym–amongst other communal spaces! This proved to be the best housing decision I’d made yet, as the apartment was clean, spacious, and the sense of friendliness extended beyond just my roommates.

The building itself carried a particularly strong community spirit, as impromptu hangouts between those in other flats happened often. There were also quite a few community events sponsored by Outpost Club, which were amazing for helping to break the ice and make acquaintances. Additionally, the practicilaites of co-living were made so much easier as their all-star customer support team was attentive to any maintenance related issues that came up, as well as the fact that they supply household basics like toilet paper, garbage bags, and a handful of other products that made living with others easier.

I ended up trying out a few different neighborhoods, from Bushwick to Harlem, as each has a unique feeling that made living in the same city a completely new experience. However, while Outpost offered a consistent, positive experience with each stay, last year I finally decided to “put down roots” (AKA, sign a 12-month lease), back at the Greenpoint House which I loved so much. I stayed friends with those I met in the Greenpoint House and it just felt the most like home. This isn’t an uncommon thing to do, either–I know at least 2 people that I met at Outpost who for different reasons left the city, only to return to this location when life circumstances took them back to NYC.

The best part of committing to a long term lease? You lock in the most affordable rate for a year, whereas with Airbnb or short term leases, you’re at the mercy of current markert pricing. I wholeheartedly endorse Outpost Club as the best option for conscious co-liviing in the greatest city on earth.

The way I’m manifesting being able to afford an NYC trip this year to catch this show.

Do I go back into debt to see Jeremy and Eva together? Stay tuned 😂

Thinking about starting a YouTube/IG channel talking about classics I should have read by now. 🤔 I really enjoyed diving into an Agatha Christie a little while ago that became an instant top ten. (Shocking no one I’m sure, it was “And then there were none”)

So many others Like Gatsby. Or TKAMB. Or a laundry list of others. My Goodreads TBR is staggering.

Anyway. Ponderings. So much has been done and I just want to be original.

Although I do like to think that I’m my own version of unique to begin with. Anything to keep my mind off the pre-grief. ✨

K’s jet landed back in California tonight. Going to assume Timothee is staying the weekend so he can start work Monday on his SNL appearance. Plus our NYC boy can kick off his Bleu de Chanel ad in NYC on the 6th! Maybe he will have another dinner with Uncle Marty and can pose for pics again. 💙

And for a couple Charmie shippers that means furiously typing fanfic possibly beginning with a subway ride. (no shade!)

Now, CFDA is the 6th as well which could mean the appearance of any Klan member. That means prepare for the worst and hope for the best. The best being K stays in California and her model sister shows. Second best is K reappears with all her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and… well, scratch all that. K shows and Timothee and she can have hundreds more photographs together walking in to an event together, arms around each other, acting playfully with genuine smiles just like they did at the WSJ Innovator Awards reception.

I hope he will do better this time, at least considering her and posing with her on the carpet because this time...she has to pose with Haider 😅

🌿✨ silly little sleep token bracelet giveaway!!✨🌿

hey, hello! :D this post is a give-away post!! i've never done one of these before so forgive me if the setup is a little funky, haha! :') but, anyways! i attended the nyc sleep token ritual at radio city music hall, and i made a massive amount of bracelets for it! :) i did the same thing when i went to see ghost last summer, but this time i unfortunately wasn't able to take the time to make sure i gave all of them away, so i have some extra bracelets left!! :D it feels a little weird to keep them for myself, haha! so this is where you might come in! >:)c

out of exactly 100 bracelets, i'm happy to report that i only have 9 bracelets left! 🌿✨ the 9 that i do have left consist of 2 bracelets for iii and 7 bracelets for iv! :)

these are the bracelets i'm offering up! :D but — since the circumstances for this giveaway are a little more unique, haha! — what are some rules for this? :0 well!

✿ this giveaway is aimed towards anyone and everyone who attended a ritual during the teeth of god tour! you don't have to have attended specifically the ritual at radio city music hall! :) however! please be aware that if i happen to receive multiple/more than one messages at a time, people who did attend the nyc ritual will receive priority/first picks. i don't mean to be rude to anyone! this is just because i also attended the nyc ritual :) i hope that makes sense! i won’t be asking for proof, but i also don’t expect this post to just magically blow up, haha! so i’m taking everybody’s word for this :)

✿ ideally, to give many people a chance to snag a bracelet, i would like to limit the amount of bracelets to one per person!

✿ i hope to mail the bracelets to people who would like one, so, needles to say, please be ready to offer up a valid mailing address where i can send the bracelets to! however, because i hope to mail these little guys, i'm afraid i'm also going to have to ask that this giveaway stays in the united states. ugh! i know, i know! i really wanted to extend this silly little thing to outside the usa, but i think it might be wiser for me personally — since it's my first time doing something like this — if i kept this to inside the usa. i'm so sorry to my dear friends in other parts of the world!! QAQ

✿ lastly, this giveaway is completely free!! :D however, i did have some lovely people ask if i wanted to take a 'tip' for various reasons and, even though i did say 'no', there were some kind people who really insisted i take a little something :') so! if you would like—though this is not at all necessary! i do have some additional means where people can send a small little tip if they might like to :)

✿ finally, please feel free to dm me if you're interested at all!! :D please include the aforementioned proof as well as if you have a preference for which bracelet you might like to receive! :D also please feel free to dm with any questions about the bracelets too! :) i know i don’t take the greatest pictures, haha! so if there’s one that catches your eye, please feel free to ask to see it up close! :D

oki-dokie! i think that's pretty much everything! :) haha! i've never done one of these before so i do apologize if this is very rambly//over explaining and whatnot :'D but! i had such a fun time making these bracelets, and an even bigger of a blast handing them out and meeting new people and experiencing the nyc ritual with everyone too :) thank you for reading!!! ♡♡ and thank you for participating if you so choose to!! :D

also, haha! if anyone was curious as to if you happened to meet me at the ritual, here’s a silly little fit pic featuring my housemate’s cat saying hello, haha! ♡
