hello, if you are reading this, i gently ask you to please take a look at @laylaayman-blog 's campaign, which as been verified by 90-ghost and @bilal-salah0 among others:

as you can see from the link above, Laila's campaign has only reached 15% of their goal. this cannot continue! Gaza is too dangerous in it's current state, especially for a young mother like Laila and for her family 😔

please, DONATE what you can and remember to SHARE your campaign with your friends, even outside of Tumblr if you can. we are living through worrying times, the least we could do to make the world a better place is offering our help to those that are less fortunate than us 🙏

DO NOT SCROLL PAST WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING.

Made these against my will

if USPS has a million fans, I'm one of them

if USPS has 5 fans, I'm one of them

if USPS has 1 fan, that is me

if USPS has no fans, I'm no longer alive

if the world is against USPS I'm against the entire world

till my last breath I support USPS

I joke but actually USPS is the literal lifeline for so many housebound disabled people who receive lifesaving medications through it- especially housebound people in rural areas. so many private shipping companies do not serve rural areas. try getting anyone else to drive hours into the middle of nowhere to deliver. try it. not all disabled people live in urban areas. USPS saves disabled lives ‼️ without USPS many housebound disabled people will die.

USPS is a disability rights issue

@clarisse-owo submitted: it's weevil time

the biggest weevil I've ever seen, i think it's like almost two inches, but I'm not sure

either way, such a nice guy

Weevil time!! They look very polite. And some weevils can be shockingly large...or tiny.

Now that I've found all the furniture that will work for my study/den, I am starting to get really antsy about how terrible the walls, ceiling, and flooring are. The irony is that this next phase will probably cost more than all the furniture and tchotchkes put together (I got very lucky with my thrifting).

I'm not sure I can afford replacing the carpet or putting up wallpaper yet, but I *can* patch and paint the walls. And maybe the ceiling.

The previous owner just patched the walls with blue tack, wtf. It's driving me bonkers.

I'm still quite pleased how quickly this has come together -- a few months ago, I pitched all the furniture in this room in a fugue state because it was making me unhappy -- it had tons of working surfaces and storage, but I didn't feel like hanging out in the space. It was getting too optimized.

So, I mined one of my comfort series for inspiration. I think it's obvious there is a lot of All Creatures Great & Small in the decor DNA (see these set pics - the designer wanted to emphasize warmth, coziness, and a sense it's lived-in) , but you can also see my own style dominant.

This is how I like to sprinkle my fan interests around the house. I end up being a sponge, and absorb design earmarks that appeal to me. And sometimes, I might source the odd piece of set dressing, as a special treat. (I've found about 4 of the background props from Siegfried's office, which are split between this room and my work niche.)

I've found I spend a *lot* more time in here, to the point where I wanted a lounge chair. It really goes to show how much of an impact home decor can have on your mood and motivation.

Sometimes I post stuff I know Terfs will hate just so I can get a free block list in the notes
