maybe tomorrow i'll have enough mental energy to throw some images in a newsletter maybe

@stevesteverers.whaleoilcandles.com went to main st arts fest and found a booth for you

i'm just so tired of being treated like a servant and i know that's part of retail but also i'm exhausted

I would like to thank the person who realized that one could cook noodles in a rice cooker because not having to stand there keeping a pot from boiling over is the one thing that makes me less likely to just not eat dinner.

finally watching Emma (2020) while finishing my ren faire costume and - y'all! y'all! the costumes! the fact that when she's walking down the hallway the cotton overdress is sheer in the light and you can see her petticoats (plural!) proper freaking layers!

well, after doing income tax math + apartment research, I can cross two of my favorite states off my list of places I'm applying for jobs
