Currently under construction! Needs a lot of reorganization to fit ...the new ones.

Oh some eccentric and rad women are having a garage sale? Im feral and unstoppable but absolutely LOOK AT THESE!

Shorts are homemade with presumably 60s-70s fabric? Im having trouble finding the exact ID of this fabric- but it is made by Wamsutta Mills who made a lot of bedding, towels, and linens. I am guessing this was possibly a blanket that some super groovy hippie or punk made into the coolest shorts to ever exist.

This dress. I am absolutely melting. I am so in love with this fabric. I want everything in my life to look like this all the time, are you kidding me? Wow. It makes my psychedelic day glo clown of disco town beating little heart race with dopamine.

As a person in the medical field, I am so fascinated by the horrors of medical practices throughtout history. I look at this card and it makes me laugh because of how absolutely ridiculous it is.....but I get a little queasy when the reality hits and I realize that my over developed pugnacity and animality and under developed authority and mentality would probably earn me a lobotomy..

Okay I did not get the book in the last slide, but I wanted to share the moment I had. At first glance, I thought that man in the picture was Elvis---- and I thought this book was written as confirmation of Elvis' death and his communications from the After Life lmao like oh the author of this book thinks hes getting messages from dead Elvis, thats awesome.

So we have had rats since before January and our landlord has done an incredible job at making sure this situation only escalates to the highest degree by providing us a selection of half hearted rube goldberg machine ass traps, snap traps that are impossible to set that we then have to clean up or call him to come pick up , and he asked me to research exterminators and send him our recommendations- which I gladly did because I wanted a reputable company to address the problem immediately. Well it's June and he has essentially hired two teenagers or Im guessing a company who makes their money by making sure you always need them (ie never fixing the problem). So the rats have gone from being confined to the walls to full on roaming our living spaces. I am horrified and disgusted and pissed off and the worst part of it all- is that he is technically "doing what he is supposed to" by reacting quickly but his interventions have just made the situation so much worse. Legally, we dont really have much grounds to do much but move out- but this is where Ive lived for 6 years? And I can't actually afford to move, none of us can, so hell.

Anyways- here was the absolute punch in the gut. He drops off more snap traps and bait.....a jar of peanut butter..that he kindly offers to let us keep and enjoy whatever we don't feed to the rats.....

And heres the thing...a normal person would think "wow that is absolutely a direct insult and attack." Like no one could see this interaction and think it wasnt intentional....but when I tell you this man is actually honestly just so oblivious I know he is feeling warm inside after such a kind and generous gesture.

Maybe someday Ill share a novel about his long history of basically just being Mr. Bean in Carhartts but today I am at my absolute end and don't know what to do because holy shit man? Wtf bro? C'mon dude.

Anybody have a cat we can host and love temporarily????

Okay actually- some extra info about this guy just because it used to amuse me but this situation has taken away any humor I was able to find in the nightmare hell that is being a renter:

- He is/was a party magician

- He came to address our wasp problem dresses in shorts, a tank top, and flip flops- with a squirt bottle of sorts and a net....he then proceeded to spray the nest in broad daylight, tried to catch the now angry wasps in the net, to then stomp on them.....when I say this man was swatting and yelling "the bastards are stinging me!" I could only watch with my jaw dropped like what the hell is happening right now

- We had a leak from our shower into the basement and I noticed that the overflow drain was not connected to a pipe. Very cool. Told him this and he suggested that we splash less and tie a bucket to the ceiling so the water doesnt get on our stuff on the floor... so you know...when it gets full you just have to untie a full bucket of water from the ceiling making sure it doesnt spill....

Idk theres so many things but im tired ugh sos

I collect a lot of vintage ephemera in general--- but am particularly intrigued by the commercialization of love.

On the flipside, I also collect vintage Sympathy cards, so maybe Ill show those in the comments later.
