maybe for under 25. I think those sell at about 80$

I used to work in a garment shop (only lasted a month, and this was pre glps) where lunch for most was espresso and maybe a banana. I'm over here trying to inhale two whole sandwiches because I have to make it through an 8 hour shift of what is ultimately physical work, and they looked at me weird

We're never seeing a good portion of that again though, if jet sales are anything like car sales

Huzzah! Bullying works!

God this. I'm also staring down dropping out of grad school which i got into this year. 2023 when i started this process looked a lot different...

And I can't get grants anymore

This is so real, by grandmother has been burning things my entire life (and she was in her 50s when I was born). All of the things wrong with her now have always been wrong with her.

Fair, I mostly watched it for him

I really loved him in young sherlock recently, I'll have to give this a try too!

oh no, I'm so sorry ❤️

That "I'm going to die in this house" audio that's everywhere except it's me. in this house. because no one will let me rent anywhere.

Truly losing my mind because every attempt to get out of here for the last 3 years has flopped and I just can't take it anymore and i have to spend 4-5 hours commuting 5 days a week this fall as Everything is expected to go up and I don't want to be here I don't want to do this

So it turns out after trying to make sewing a hobby instead, I have simply stopped doing it.

Insane experiences today. Family members worrying about low birth rates and I can't even afford to move in with a partner because you need 6 figures to rent your own place. Can't even imagine what people who actually want to get married and have kids have to deal with

ABBA Take a Chance on Me but it's about applying to a job where you don't have 5 years of direct experience but you're absolutely sure you will figure it out omg please hire me

Postal birds! 🐦✉️

A poem titled "Humanities" made up of a set of 6 haikus The text of the poem reads: Who needs history? Literature? Languages? Art? Philosophy? These can only help you to better understand our humanity. Best to let machines read your books. And write your books. Do your art for you. You will never need to think. Never need to learn. You’ll learn to like it. And when the end comes you’ll have never burdened your soul with any growth. Someone selling this sees profit in destroying your humanity. - John Wyatt Greenlee

Reposting this poem that I wrote last fall because...well...
[waves hands at the world]

Well. I didn't get the job.

the best offer is funnily the longshot I applied to on a whim last minute because I already had all the materials from previous applications

3/4 grad school acceptances isn't too bad

Black and white photo of a longhaired light colored cat lying in a low basket on a shaggy lawn. It looks confidently at the camera with one forepaw draped over edge of the basket.

This “Fluffy. June 1951”. Photo from my collection. ❤️

It was so fun hearing about it all! Best of luck with your own red velvet endeavours

Is this Ada Palmer? My friend was in one of her papal elections for a couple years!!

I really didn't think I'd get into this many grad schools with scholarships and make it this far in the interview process !!!

Do I need this job or a masters degree more. Mutually exclusive opportunities that will vanish immediately and I feel like I'm gonna have regrets either way

Got another grad school acceptance. Awaiting the paperwork to see how much funding.

I'm glad wide pants are back but it seems like the knowledge of how to pattern or shape them has been lost
