Had to fill up for the first time since the war began and oh shit oh no oh shit and oh no

That's my dream rug, a bit out of my price range atm unfortunately. I think ruggable is above board??? Hopefully?? Everywhere else suuuucks

It's also a little devastating to see what's happened to Etsy. Where are all the weird creatives selling their shit. I'm sad.

I'm trying to buy a rug for the first time in ages, mostly looking second hand but decided to peruse the online stores... never have I seen more blatant evidence that the internet is one shop. Every store sells the same ugly rugs. The drop shipping is out of control.

How unbelievably miserable

Lover by Taylor Swift is such a lovely little song, but I simply can't listen to it. "We can leave the Christmas lights up 'til January" takes me out every time. When else are we supposed to take the lights down if not January, you sociopath??? !!!

Been desperately searching for a podcast to listen to for days, craving something but not connecting with anything. Turns out the podcast was music. I wanted to listen to music.

When Smash Mouth said "the years start coming and they don't stop coming", I felt that.

It's like when your toddler throws your phone into the toilet and then after he gets into trouble he gives you a little cuddle and it's like, look, that doesn't fix the actual problem, but it's nice.

I can't explain it, but I think the universe is trying to right itself by taking Kyle Sandilands off air. It's trying to do a really really good thing to balance out all the bad. Might need something more substantial, but it's a welcome first step.

Middle East crisis love: Israel's military says it struck an Iran site aimed at developing nuclear weapons capabilities

If I've learned anything these past few years, this means they struck a preschool, or a petting zoo or something

Truly Satrapi opened my mind to histories I'd never heard of, and gave me insight into Iran that I continue to be grateful for.

Remember, two things can be true at once. War can be bad, and also you can have bad takes. Hope this helps.
