Realizing I will not be able to go to the concert I wanted to go to, and now I need to figure out/find someone to give these tickets to. Whole thing I don't have time for.

You know what's the worst. Getting your hopes about something that you then found out won't happen or you have to play the will-it-won't-it game again for years

I applied to 53 jobs in the last few weeks, most of which I was extremely qualified for. Complete and total radio silence. Makes me feel not great about my post grad school prospects

the problem with being extremely busy while having Problems, is that you can't lock in and ignore all the problems, the problems continue and interfere with the Busy

You know what, I need stickers for my new water bottle. What are everyone's favourite sources

it's been 3 months since I lost my smell to (almost certainly, because what else could it have been) covid and while some of it has returned normally, some of it has returned wrong, and some of it is still gone. I am. Not having a great time as someone who's extremely food oriented

The extra annoying thing about the T*riffs screwing over my business is that I'd have a much better time if I'd been able to do the waistcoats for top surgery fundraiser I was planning for years, or extra commissions for moving funds

Getting older is also getting more and more frustrated at your parents for putting problems off and not planning things ahead

Getting really good at making assorted iced teas and syrups and such, which is good because I have a celebration coming up and alcohol is simply not something anyone is willing to spend money on these days

The problem with realizing I'm miserable and something needs to change is that I've done it while I'm too broke to actually do anything about it

People who like vintage ties and see a modern tie you like. You can in fact hem a tie. I'm learning that hemming ties is so much easier than cutting and making a whole ass new tie. And there are so many beautiful ties out in the world.

Idk where I ended up on the author scam list but it's so weird getting emails people telling me they love my books or whatever. I'm just here like, "wow thanks, I don't remember writing and publishing any."

Feeling like a failure after asking for help to lift one (1) heavy box because my spine is protesting.

Absolutely MUST cut my hair. Men are going out of their way to open doors for me and it's weird.

Bio of the Day: Thomas John (Tom) Thomson (1877–1917), artist. Through his friends at work, exhibitions, and the Arts and Letters Club, Thomson came to the attention of those who, in 1920, would form the Group of Seven, Canada’s first national school of art. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/thoms...

It's weird picking up a book that multiple people have liked and just... absolutely hating the prose

Wallpaper is so expensive, I think it'll be easier for me to lino stamp a damask print on my walls

The skinny suit is very much a case of it "is it a fit, or are they just thin"

I'm always trying to explain to people that menswear doesn't have to be boring but I'm trying to get into the nuance of modern dress codes and it seems like the only suits you can wear to a formal event (not black tie) are charcoal/grey and navy. Not black, that's for funerals. I take it back.

Ok. I know work takes a while and there's priorities but I'd like to know why replacing heel caps is taking the cobbler two weeks. I would have done this at home. The last place I went to told me to go to a cafe and come back and did it in under an hour.

It's cool seeing that bias silk dresses are having a comeback but. some brands cannot get the seams right.

Buy The Silk or We Have Polyester At Home A poll would be a really great option right now!

So much beautiful celluloid out there that I simply do not want in my house

Ok I see that the Engagement Sword has taken off in a big way, but we should also consider: - engagement knife - engagement bras knuckles - engagement vintage cufflinks - engagement art nouveau table lamp - engagement first edition Gustave Dore Rime of the Ancient Mariner

On the topic of shoes. I want sandals that cover your toes to come back in a big way. Also perforated derbys and loafers. I want the sandal feel without showing off my runner's toe or getting stepped on, and the option to wear socks and it still looking like a fashion choice

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Shoe enthusiasts. Help! Is there anything you can do about shoes that otherwise fit but slice right into your Achilles tendon and you're just getting sliced up with every step? I've tried inner heel cushion pads but they don't affect the problem area and make the fit uncomfortable.

There's so many books I've read lately. And these are conventionally published books with 3.5-4+ stars on storygraph. But they've felt half baked, or that they could be good with a couple more drafts and some feedback. Are we trying to fast fashion books or undervaluing editors or likely both?

Truly losing my mind because every attempt to get out of here for the last 3 years has flopped and I just can't take it anymore and i have to spend 4-5 hours commuting 5 days a week this fall as Everything is expected to go up and I don't want to be here I don't want to do this

So it turns out after trying to make sewing a hobby instead, I have simply stopped doing it.

Insane experiences today. Family members worrying about low birth rates and I can't even afford to move in with a partner because you need 6 figures to rent your own place. Can't even imagine what people who actually want to get married and have kids have to deal with

ABBA Take a Chance on Me but it's about applying to a job where you don't have 5 years of direct experience but you're absolutely sure you will figure it out omg please hire me
