BUY IT FOR LIFE

looking for recommendations for the best, highest quality, longest lasting, and overall good value items? look no further Buy It For Life is a subreddit dedicated to best-in-class recommendations for any item you can think of. At the tip of your fingers, you have 2.2 million people ready to tell you exactly what to buy and where to buy it. It's Perfectly Imperfect but dedicated to shopping, and it's made my life (and shopping) infinitely easier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently moved into a new place and decided to ditch the ikea-quality-fresh-out-of-college clutter I've accumulated and actually invest in some quality items, such as: - cutlery - fan - bedsheets - etc. The folks on BIFL come prepared with recommendations, receipts, and alternatives if you need something in your budget. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense, helpful corner of the internet. ENJOY <3

Hardware

For Christmas this year, Nicole bought me a beautiful woodworking bench (for those interested - Rockler beech wood bench), and I’ve been working to set that space up perfectly. That process for me began with acquiring the missing “basic” tools and giving them a home that keeps them easy to get but also out of the way. I found that, as someone who often prioritizes form and beauty, I’m drawn to a lot of used, vintage, and curated supplies. As an example, I use one of the old Stanley Powerlocks as a tape measure, and my go-to screwdriver is an old Wilde one kind of like this. For more of a “curated but new” feel I often find myself browsing Yuns, a cool little hardware shop that has a very focused small collection of reliable and high-value products. And finally — to provide the arsenal a resting place, I took my classic yellow dewalt hammer drill to the concrete and mounted a pegboard.

FINISHED A 5-WEEK ART CLASS AND NOW IM SAD

I’m not sure why, I guess things ending are sad. Here’s a self portrait I made in charcoal. The proportions are wonky but it kinda looks like me!

remember Palestine

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

hello

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
