This Indigenous People's Day, I wanted to promote the incredible handmade leather work by my good friend Tommy, Native Necromancy on fb, @amealformaggots on insta. He is Lenape of the Turtle Clan. You can see his work in person at both Gonzo Glass Studio and Cerridwen's Hearth in Mount Holly NJ.

To make them bad or to make them unfucken?

Rounded off so it's like a quarter of a circle. The bigger the corner radius, the more rounded the box/brick/pane of glass/etc.

They sell paulownia at the home center now??? I could make a real, painlessly carryable Medicine Seller box to replace my award-winning oak plywod one, which looks amazing but weighs like a whole-ass human child.

Wait but they're so trendy, they're even on stuff at the ¥100 shops, were you seeing all the shoebill goods and thinking somebody made up an animal???

What may possibly be my last stationary haul from Hands. I can't believe it's closing in three months, it's so sad and empty TAT Thank you @occultbeast.bsky.social for the brand recommendation, it's such a nice gentle colorspace.

Now that the new dining table can hold all the medicines, cables, and stationary, I can use the antique Japanese parlour cabinet for its intended purpose. But since I get more bags than looseleaf, I'd rather have the box than the traditional canisters.

12 compartments, radiused corners and edges, air-tight removable lid instead of hinges. Believe it was by The Container Store.

I suddenly remembered that I used to have a lovely clear acrylic teabag organizer and I dont remember if it broke or if I gave it to someone as a parting gift but I miss it and it looks like thia design no longer exists, hellfire and damnation.

Applied to where? The cells have to remain writable.

I decided to walk to the 24 hour grocery store and it was Bad 😬 My brain has forgotten how to take normal full-length strides, I had to shuffle along for the first 5 miles before my hip flexors loosened up even slightly and I never did get up to my NYC walking speed.

Last straw was seeing that they're doing... a Toyota collab? With real cars? Hey joseimukei game y'all heard about the gendered wage gap??? Gross! It would have been an amazing Tomica collab, but I guess they are just maneuvering to increas shareholder value or whatever *cat vomiting noises*

The Vocaloids and Rider haven't done anything wrong, everyone else has been tainted by collabs (the JINJA HONCHO? /REALLY/?) or by being a shallow promotional effort for really crappy money-grubbing followup works.

It's probably time to sell the last of my non-Busou Shinki figure collection. I could use the bookshelf space and I'm existentially disgusted with their associated IPs.

Oh I had never heard of this marker brand before, what a beautiful color palette!

Stickers aren't big enough from across the room, I tried that 2 years ago and it just looked like bugs T_T I don't think the paper will take very wet mediums... airbrushed watercolor, perhaps...

O whimsical internet friends, how do I decorate this boring-yet-functional MUJI wall calender??? I used to get beautiful Cavallini Paper calendars every year but have been dragooned into ADHD accessibility hell since we moved here, and I hate looking at it.

I think you can make an argument for ideas of cuteness being part of the greater project of Japaneseness being defined as deliberately contrary to the Other. They don't call the "suitable for people over 5'0" shovel a "modern" shovel or a "long" shovel, they call it an AMERICAN shovel.

Sorry, that's under-emphasizing the shovel problem: the longest shovel you can buy at most hardware stores is dimensionally identical to the Yayoi period equivalent, I had to go outside and scream when I saw it for the first time. The dining table was only 65cm.

Drinking tea sitting at my correctly sized table in my correctly sized chair instead of the tiny apartment furniture, my skeleton feels so nice TAT I think furniture here must be like shovels where the dimensional standard was set a hundred years ago and never updated for post-famine heights.

It is delightfully huge when unfolded. Yeah, yeah, laundry chair, I didn't have time to put it away today. Oh my god this is enough surface area to roll out piecrust or cookie dough.

The kotatsu dining table and its chairs have been banished to Toyama, and the IKEA Norden with its many junk drawers has been resurrected! Note the wheels. My old American one had a nicer finish, the poly on this is kinda milky, but it's tough as hell and I'm sure the western sun will mellow it out.

The best part is because the undyed wool is ivory and not white, it makes the off-white metal cabinets look nice instead of dingy vs the bright white wallpaper and appliances, like how three shades of non-matching black looks okay.
