It’s raining and I’m sad and bored. “Maybe I should just read today,” I said ONE SECOND before an email from my favourite shop came in, titled “rainy day reads”
Thanks, @southstreetartmart.bsky.social !

I’d have been interested in seeing what he’d pull out if you said yes. Like, what convention did he have in mind? Or would he just say COOL and catch up with you in the Spring?

Watching the Creators in Fashion Fashion Show and I am not getting it. They’re doing a run of dudes in GYM CLOTHES. Gym shorts and a tshirt. And people in the comments are going nuts for them. Oh wait, now there are cool outfits…. Three of them. Sigh.

Guess that’s one way to make Mad Max sets easier to come by. :(

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 1d

Hell yes!!! 😍😍😍

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 2d

Heck yeah. Food stains are usually oily, so grease-cutting dish soap saves the day! (I’d try oven cleaner, but I’m scared of it being too harsh. Works great on tubs and basins, though!)

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 4d

Oh dang. I have what would be my first Octavia Butler on my TBR list (don’t remember which one at the moment - something you read in spring or early summer, maybe?). Now I’m dreading it….

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 5d

Every time I do any of these things (except travel, I guess), I arrange it at Boulder coffee. My partner bought something once & had to pick it up at an abandoned-looking barn in the sticks!!! You bet I went with & live-tweeted everything to all the socials!! (Turned out fine, but still #HorrorPlot)

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 5d

Jeezus, the one-star count. I just added mine to it.

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 5d

Watched it this afternoon and loved it (especially the BtS). My bestie couldn’t handle it and walked out during the doghouse scene and called an Uber to get home (where she has a golden retriever waiting for her) 😭

Trying to find a new place for bras that is not Lane Bryant (pretty much the only place for plus-size bras) because they charged my card FOUR TIMES (3 of which are “holds”) for a single order I made 2 weeks ago to be shipped TO THE STORE.
And then I found this weird Google result for a pizza place.

Except for Medicaid :(

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 8d

I mean… fuck, that’s the terrifying place we’re in now :(

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 8d

Just the apps off the phone should be enough, right?

Wow! The CDC & Medicaid can eat my entire ass. Trying to get a covid booster (like I have 5 years running) & apparently poor-people insurance not only doesn’t cover the new shot, but also doesn’t cover it for anyone under 65?!? Unless you have an underlying condition. So… thanks, Obesity. I guess.

Barely ate half of the garlic parm potatoes and I feel like I’ll never get the smell out of my mouth, my clothes, my hair, my skin… I’m afraid of any impending night-sweats (haven’t had them in a hot minute, so I’ve got that going for me), not to mention, my morning breath. People really love this??

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 8d

I am not a huge garlic fan, unless it’s subtle. But I’ve been feeling run down lately and I know garlic is good for warding off infection or whatever. So I made the mistake of ordering something with “garlic____” as a component. I was knocked back by the smell as it arrived at my table.

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 9d

I’ll give it a try! Been a while since I’ve even listened to podcasts, too…

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 9d

I purged out all the accounts that deliver the news in an emotional/opinion-forward way, because the “here’s why we should be angry today” vibes were killing me. Stuck it out with the ones with just cold hard facts without bias. And those were killing me too. Hiding was all I could do for my sanity.

Hot Single Cellos in your area (Cello players do have to spread ‘em wide when they play)

Also, 1984 is one of my favourite books, and I’m kind of insulted that All Quiet on the Western Front isn’t on this list (but I guess Johnny Got His Gun is an acceptable supplement).
Would like to say 1984 is the reason for my season, but it’s more likely due to the movie Brazil ;)

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 10d

I just found a copy of that Alison Bechdel book on Saturday in a pile of free stuff! Spreading the antifa! 💖

Fawndolyn / IFWIT Zines @fawndolyn.bsky.social · 11d

I jumped ship to storenvy years ago. Much lighter fees, and this doesn’t seem to happen. It DOES however randomly close my shop sometimes, which I hate because it doesn’t tell me when that happens.
