hey all, i am a rising senior at my university and about to start my undergraduate thesis. to celebrate being accepted into the program and for almost being done with school, i wanted to get a new bag that i could use for school and for my future workplace.

i’ve been eyeing the new folded bag by olend, because i love how androgynous its shape is and i love how it can be worn as a backpack, a shoulder bag, and a crossbody bag. there are two large pockets that can fit a 14" laptop and open space in the middle for something like a lightweight jacket or cardigan. it’s vegan leather though, so i’m not sure how well it will hold up over time. i want this bag to last me a while. i’m also not sure about the thinness of the straps… i appreciate the versatility, but i wonder if it’s so thin that it would be uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

the other bag i’ve been considering is something from george gina and lucy. i like the bonny tink bag that is pictured, but my heart isn’t sold on that specific one. i love the silver hardware and from what i can tell, their bags are very durable. but i’ve seen them listed as “y2k” and idk if they’re just coming back because they’re trendy or if they’re just unique. i don’t necessarily want to chase trends, even though this brand has been around for a while. also, the straps aren’t nearly as versatile, buuut i think i may be able to replace it for a longer one if i ever wanted a crossbody and i know they sell other crossbody bags as well.

thoughts?? if anyone has owned a bag from either one of these bags, i’d love to hear about your pros and cons for each

does anyone know of a local nail artist who can imitate this rainbow gradient? i don’t get my nails done often so suggestions are appreciated

was looking through some of my parents’ old stuff and found these cameras. i haven’t tried to turn them on yet but i was wondering if anyone here has used them and what the photos from them look like

Hello JC subreddit,

My name is Lauren and I am a new summer intern for the JC Press!

For Pride Month, I’m looking to write a feature story about trans pride/resistance. I’d love to talk to trans and nonbinary people from the area about their experiences and how they find community here. I want to know how Tennessee legislators have affected you, but how you’re celebrating your identity regardless (or if you chose to stealth instead).

I am supportive of the trans community and have written about similar issues before. My portfolio: https://laurenbarton.carrd.co/
