These are the only two sites I shop for home stuff on
Bullseye Deals (Target authorized reseller on eBay)—the deals on lamps for example are just outrageous. everything here costs what stuff from Target should cost
Dealforager (Amazon Warehouse returned items)—I use this site Deal Forager that someone put together using web crawling code or something which searches all of Amazon’s inventory of returned items by keyword and category and lets you sort by percentage off, dollar amount off, etc

because I don’t want too much competition when shopping. But I buy soooo many returned unused items from Amazon Warehouse at an insane discount. I have several beautiful lamps from there, I got an unopened 14 inch thick king sized memory foam mattress for like $400, I bought a huge rug for $35, I buy shoes this way, etc…. I use dealforager.com to search for whatever I want and sort by highest dollar amount off and go from there

But I’m obsessed with this eBay shop that’s an authorized reseller of open box and surplus items from Target especially for home decor stuff because everything is priced exactly as I think things at Target SHOULD be priced. I just bought so many curtains bro

After weaning myself from an increasingly enshittified Amazon (or trying to!) I remembered I had an eBay account and have been finding a lot of good deals on hiking and outdoor gear. Most of this stuff is really well made but expensive to begin with, and a lot of people sell hiking clothes they never used or that don't fit them anymore so you can buy them for a fraction of their original cost (and can in turn sell them on eBay yourself once they no longer fit you ... the cycle of life continues!) A pro tip is to limit your searches to fixed price/"Buy It Now" sales and add anything that captures your eye to your watch list. Most of the time — like 90% in my experience — the seller will message you an offer for an additional 10% or 15% off your purchase, making it an even better deal, and you don't have to worry about some jerk sniping something you've had your heart set on with a last minute bid that's bigger than yours. You save money, old clothing doesn't wind up in landfills, and you're not supporting Amazon anymore. Everybody wins!

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

I’ve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretation—preconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your image—selfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. I’ve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? It’s a question worth considering.
