I wear wonderful yet very dumb things. I would like everyone to have this option. blurbs are hard. information is good. she/her
I first learned about the artwork on Japanese manhole covers because my mom is a quilter. She had one or both of these books, which feature elaborate quilts based on the elaborate manhole cover art.

I love seeing art inspiring other art. These have stuck with me for years as a result.

In terms of "is there more cheese than other things", well, there are only 3 cheeses and 5 other kinds of things. But if you expand this to "cheese and items bought to eat exclusively with cheese" then the cinnamon rolls, peppers, and hummus are outnumbered.

I tried and I panicked

sometimes, when I'm scrolling through my timeline, I mistake @unseenjapan.com's posts for @cpsc.gov's posts. I saw this particular one THREE times before I realized. I was just like "oh well, workplace safety is important to keep in mind, even if it's not CPSC's usual style of safety memo"

Any ideas why this breaks like this? I blocked one user and now the whole feed is just...blank, not showing anyone else's posts. And they were there! Is this a known thing or do I get to learn how to report a bug to BlueSky next?

heck. I blocked the one account that was posting all the lewdtuber stuff, to filter it out, and now the feed is entirely empty for me. 😭

wow I meant to put something in here about being raised on the same snack foods and also a very random assortment of different localities and didn't. And I can't edit like I can on Slack or Discord! heck

Yo! I'm babelglyph. I wear ridiculous things, mainly #LolitaFashion but sometimes cosplay, steampunk, vintage, or whatever else floats my boat. My two core fashion philosophies are "pay your bills then buy frills" and "shitpost hard, coord harder". Here are a few of my recent outfits!
