In my experience while I think people appreciate gifts you pay for, I personally prefer to make something to give to them. I think especially baking (bread, cookies, a nice cake, etc) can show the person you put a lot of thought and physical effort into doing something nice for them, rather than if you just bought something.

there is nothing better than making someone feel appreciated and valued when theyβve helped you out!
bonus points if you bake them a sweet treat to accompany it

on the topic of presents, i do want to try to start baking stuff to give to people for their birthdays or christmas. because i do often feel bad for not giving people stuff and another reason i generally can't is the fact i only have a job over the summer, which limits how much i have in terms of spending money on presents. i've tried so many times to make little paper gifts or something like that but i always give up because they suck :') but a couple times my friend meg has given me some cookies or something of the sort and i always always appreciate it!! so i'm gonna try start baking stuff to give as presents, as its a much cheaper and kind of hard to fuck up :)
p.s. thank you meg for all the baked goods <3 i cherish them dearly

Work literally destroys the soul. Everyone is exhausted all the time because performing labor and maintaining the human spirit are incompatible with each other. We live under a system that wants everyone beaten down and isolated and having little energy to make plans with those you love is a symptom of a larger, evil system

Freshman year I went through an industrial phase so I was really into stuff like Rammstein, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, etc. Sophomore year is kind of a blur but I remember listening to a lot of LCD Soundsystem and Kraftwerk. Junior year I got REALLY into shit like Bikini Kill, Hole, Sleater-Kinney, etc. Also went through a good month or two where I was only listening to ska. I have no recollection of anything I did during senior year so idk what I listening to lol
