A muppet-esque puppet of a bird with a purple head and a large orange beak. His eyes have green irises. He is wearing a large white bow tie printed with music notes and a red and white checkered long sleeve shirt

One that I remember that nobody else seems to know was Iris, the Happy Professor. The theme song slapped even if the puppets were a little uncanny

I don’t have a VHS player but the temptation to get some of these just for the display element is so high

A pink chapbook entitled β€œQueer Destinies: A Chapbook of Erotic Science Fiction” by Gary Bowen. The cover depicts a monochrome illustration of a naked humanoid male on the surface of a planet with a celestial body behind his head. His hands are strategically drawn to cover his genital area.

I also got this 90s chapbook of queer erotic sci-fi because how could I not?

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

A box for a "Mystic Series Two Sided Jigsaw Puzzle” featuring artwork of a winged unicorn facing off against a stylized black dragon in front of a castle with lightning in the background. The artwork is titled β€œThe Sentry” and is by Roy L. McGinnis. On top of the box is a purple, pink and blue Tamagotchi with three bright pink buttons along the bottom. Underneath the box is a skein of yarn in pastel colours of pink, purple, yellow, green, blue and white.

Thrift haul from today! The puzzle seems to be complete which is awesome. The Tamagotchi is one from 2017 and needs a new battery but it was a fun find.

I love these 90s gaming magazine ads so much.

Simple, but effective.

A bag of limited edition Lay's Poppin' Sweet Lime & Sea Salt chips. They are branded as β€œLaysfest” along the top and feature a blue sky with clouds in the background with darker teal skyscraper buildings in front of it. In the foreground is a green, teal, blue, and white disco ball with the Lays logo in the centre. On the top left of the ball is a lime and on the bottom right, there is an enlarged image of the chips. Underneath the disco ball are piano keys in green and black

Whoever at Lays designed the packaging for these chips did an incredible job. I haven’t tried them yet (although the flavour seems like something I would enjoy) but the packaging alone had me intrigued.

A screenshot from the game Balatro. On the left hand side, there is a side bar with information which indicates that the round score was 1,249,986 in poker chips.

Anyone else playing Balatro? I just played a hand that went over $1 million in chips and I don’t even remember what I played πŸ˜…

A small crocheted version of the video game character Kirby. He is round and made of light pink yarn. Two small round arms in the same colour yarn are splayed in front of him. Behind, a foot made of red yarn can be seen. His eyes are made of black yarn and are two small horizontal lines to give the appearance that Kirby is sleeping.

First crochet project of 2025 is this sleepy Kirby! The pattern I used is from purply studio on Instagram. My boyfriend suggested I do the multiplayer colours for Kirby as well so those will be coming next

A drawing of the Shifty Thrifting mascot Beet Poot with a black notebook that says "Block Note" on the front in a parody of Death Note.

Beet Poot is a deep red beet root jar sculpted with a humanoid face. His expression, which usually seems placid, is given a sinister feel via lighting from below that casts deep shadows over his eyes. His eyes are red and glowing with trails of light as if he'd turned his face towards the open Block Note in front of him.

A reminder from Beet Poot that you can just block people here on bsky and they just poof out of your circle of existence! Curate your experience! Don't feed attention to people who would do anything to get it! Starve the trolls and bigots! [Howard Dean scream]

My sister and I got a GameCube for Christmas with Animal Crossing. My stepmom at the time had one and we’d tried Animal Crossing during the summer when we lived with them and loved it so we were super excited to have our own copy.

Nothing makes me more upset than someone telling me to calm down, especially when I’m just literally doing my job. Like I wasn’t actually that upset but thanks for now actually making me upset.
