I just read the book "the world is on fire but we're still buying shoes." A short little read about how to be better shoppers in this environment. FUCK AMAZON if you've gotta satisfy your urge to get some cool new garb or stuff for around the house buy from local thrift stores and vintage stores! Just picked up the headboard of my dreams at Goodwill. Better for your wallet, too. Plus it's cool to be like "oh this? It's secondhand."

šbuy books with someone elseās annotations. pick up old cook books for a couple bucks. check which pages have the most wear and tear, try those first. buy cheap sunglasses and antique jewelry. I buy almost all my clothes from thrift stores or vintage shops. I have furnished my dorms and apartments through thrifted plates, silverware, and other decor. almost everything is better quality than what gets made today.

ā»ļøI know you've probably heard this a hundred times, but you really can find the coolest stuff at antique malls, thrift stores, flea markets, and garage sales. They're ESPECIALLY a goldmine for trinkets and signage, in my experience.
Mercari and Depop are also fun secondhand marketplaces, you just have to know what you're looking for.
Also consider local listings on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist.
Outside of secondhand, you might look into Etsy, Spencer's Gifts, Target's dollar spot/seasonal stock, or your local dollar stores.
It helps me to use the keywords "kitschy," "fun," "funny," or "funky" when searching for inspiration.
Some of my favorite finds lately:
ā¢Russian nesting doll measuring cups ā¢Dancing Frankenstein doll ā¢1970s childrens bookbag made to look like the Barnum's animal cracker box (I use it as a laptop case) ā¢Pillow with Andrew Garfield's face printed all over it ā¢Floormats deisgned to look like your favorite DVD/CD/game disc
(As a disclaimer, I admittedly don't know much about the ethics or international shipping policies of any of the aforementioned companies.)

āJust me and the girls having a riot. I have yet to find a man who makes me laugh like they do.

āIG is so fucking boring these days. I've had enough. I post intimate and weirdly overthetop "poems" of sorts about the nitty gritty details of my life. I lose followers with every post and that gives me such a rush. Shake up that algorithm and let me know what's REALLY going on in your life!
