For anyone who may be interested, this is my business @shrushdesign I do hand-lettered designs for signage, murals, window splashes, invitations/stationery, digital graphics, and more. Also, I make designs for weddings, events, businesses, homes, and personal gifts.
Have you ever had a close relationship with someone then all of a sudden something just clicks and you realize just how unkind they have been to you in vulnerable moments and you have the epiphany of epiphanies that this person truly doesn’t like you? And now you just can’t unsee it.
I miss when people filled their rooms with the stuff they were actually into instead of whatever fit some aesthetic. Bring back evidence of having a soul.
@MT_TRAP_CAT@bkoerth Back in my day, they used to have one across from my dorm. It was an entire complex that had a movie theater, post office, bank, and several restaurants and stores. They tore it down and put up “luxury apartments”

1 hard boiled egg? Perfect.
Fried eggs? Just two and I'm good.
Scrambled eggs? Three and I'm still hungry.
Deviled eggs? 47 please and thank you.
Egg logic makes no sense.
You wanted disruption. You got it. Blocking entrances, Concerts canceled. AtwoodFest canceled. The Madison Public Market grand opening canceled. Businesses up and down Willie Street forced to close.
What you don’t see are the weeks of planning, the employees who already worked the hours, the food that was already purchased and prepared, the equipment that was bought, and the small business owners who now have to figure out how to absorb those losses.
Those costs don’t disappear. They don’t magically get refunded. They fall on local families, local employees, and local businesses that had absolutely nothing to do with what happened. If you believe this is justified, then answer one question: Who is going to take responsibility for the people whose livelihoods you just disrupted
We need to dead the myth that being an introvert means you’re socially awkward or shy or hate talking to people. It just means you enjoy your own company and recharge from spending time alone rather than with others. All that other stuff is separate from introversion.
I refuse to tolerate any of the classic cluster B behaviors in any context and I do not care what you have been diagnosed with, by who, or for how long. I will spend exactly zero of my finite time alive coping with that. Do not behave that way near me. I will immediately bring it up and name it. Being manipulative is unacceptable. I will just agree. Everyone sucks? Yep. Everyone fails you? Yep. Cool. Good. You are saying these things as a bid for reassurance. You are saying these things to make people pick a side in a situation that does not involve us. You are belittling someone to reinforce your own comfort. You are causing chaos to self soothe. If you toss me the social grenade I will pull the pin.
