I bought this roll of string in 2022 and I keep finding uses for it. I hung a stained glass biplane from my window with it. I made little loops in lieu of hooks for a new shower curtain when I didn’t want to go return to home depot. I have tied up countless gifts’ wrapping paper with it. I tied up a bunch of stacks of things when moving with it
honestly I don’t know how I would get on without string

i've been moving a massive bag of friendship bracelet string from nightstand drawer to nightstand drawer for probably the last 10 years. i was feeling crafty so i started taking the string, cutting it to the lengths of a piece of paper, and making a picture out of the different colored string. big fun - highly recommend letting ur little fingers take control and do some arts & crafts

Uhhhhh ever heard of it? Listen. Get yourself a cheap-ass roll of satin ribbon on Amazon in whatever color sparks joy for you. I like powder blues and Tiffany blues, and very buttery yellows. Sometimes extremely chunky white yarn. Then the next time you are bringing flowers to someone, which should be the next time you are seeing someone, you just cut a generous bit of ribbon off, ball it up in your pocket, then when you buy the flowers take off all the plastic packaging and rubber bands and tie it with the ribbon. It makes a WORLD of difference. Trust me. Ribbon (or yarn) (or, hell, twine for all I care) is the thoughtful, personal touch that makes a 9.99 bouquet from the bodega look like a $40 arrangement from a florist.

Wait in the line. Wait in the fucking line, talk to the cashier and make a joke. Hone your small talk. if we stop using the express checkouts they will shut em down. They’ll give the cashiers more hours, more demand and more money. it’ll result in them having more power. Talking shit about AI is easy but now it’s time to choose the people over the robots in person. In real life.

I think a lot of kids grow up with largely friends of their same gender. That’s the problem. Heteronormativity and seperating the genders in every aspect of life. sports, activities, friend groups. We condition men (and women!) to begin othering the opposite sex from birth. When in doubt, ungender it.

its really simple. You get a few lists: queue, completed, archived, paused. There‘s no “friends”, so no one will be able to see what you’re reading. There’s no “goals” so you can just read for fun, at the speed you want. Your reviews are for you and you alone. If you want to track what you want to read and what you’ve already read without feeling like you’re on social media, ItalicType is what you need.
