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

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

There's those dice but they are always so bland and not all anatomy/body ability inclusive. this sounds like a much better option, you you can just keep pressing it if it's not interesting/logistically possible

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

I'm also concerned about sephora specifically because I went in recently after not shopping there in years, gave my personal phone number for the Vip thins, and apparently someone else now has an account under that phone number now, sorry, would you like to make a new account instead

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.

I feel so bad for indie/self published authors who reply on engagement with readers via email though. You can't trust anyone now.m

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."

The fact that I made 5-7 heavy box trips today before this is magically cancelled out of course

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

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...

The last 2 books I've read have once again felt rushed and under-edited. Because they likely were. I am also reading a classic Gothic novel and want to edit the hell out of it for run on sentence crimes, but that's a separate matter.

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

Yes, I do only go online to complain about skinny suits now.

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
of course they look decent good on tall lanky people with narrower hips and wider shoulders. But a more classic fit or suit and trousers will work for a lot more people

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
The skinny suit is very much a case of it "is it a fit, or are they just thin"

And yes there's something for wearing whatever you want confidently because there's some guy in sneakers and jeans with a sports coat. The not being normie enough to conform vs not wanting to stand out too much at this particular event is the issue.

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
The women in suits community meanwhile seems deeply against ties. A bow, a necklace sure. Have you considered not wearing a shirt either? Part of the reason for gravitating towards menswear has been to avoid showing as much skin as most dresses expect, without looking like a modest trad whatever

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
And also some people say royal blue is allowed but a *gasp* incredible bold statement. other people are saying absolutely not. DO not draw attention to yourself. You cannot have a personality. what are you gay? Even if you are that's a no. God forbid you wear a shirts that's not white/off white.

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
And then they're on about neutral solid ties because you don't want to stand out and I'm done. You take away the one fun element left. I've established that formal, even daytime formal, means you can't wear a black linen suit.

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
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.

chaos captain @chaoscaptain.bsky.social · 14/06/2026
TBH, I'd rather just been warned "we're busy so this may take a few weeks" and not just "we'll call you when they're done" two weeks later

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.
