I went to the thrift store and got a shelf for the bedroom (actually I think it may have been some kind of standing desk..) to use instead of a dresser, since if I can't see it, things don't exist and I got a new computer chair that has a leaning issue that I didn't notice when I tried it out. But they were 40% off at the thrift store so that was a nice deal.

And then there was arts fair thing on main street and so I walked around and looked at things and the used book store was having a sale but I didn't go. I don't need to drag home things I'm not going to read or use and I've been doing that too much.

I made my first foray into book binding and bound together a little envelope junk journal thing. I messed up one hole and it wasn't on the spine and then kind of forgot what I should do and winged it instead of looking at youtube videos. I think it came out ok.

I made my first foray into book binding

That's so cool -- I'd love to try that!

I posted on a FB group but I'll lost on my page. It's very much just a pamphlet but it's a start.

And I was on Tumblr today and apparently Misha Collins recently said he was or referenced being bisexual at a con or something. I'm not sure because my tumblr isn't as heavy on SPN stuff. I need unfollow some people and find new people to follow because dash has be one more and more about things I don't really watch. It used to be a small percentage was things I don't watch but it's gotten a lot larger lately.

Oh, that did pop up on my tumblr dashboard! One disaster bi amid the 24/7 OFMD posts.

There are a lot of options for bookbinding . I haven't really checked them all out but I know there is a ton of stuff on youtube and instragram and FB and probably tumblr since stuff ends up there. I'm trying not to fall down the rabbit hole of book binding because I really want to get into gelli printing but I'm holding off until June, when it's my birthday and I'll have gift ideas for my parents. So I need to get through enjoying gelli printing before I take on something new.

I just got my latest zine back from the printers, but I’ve been reluctant to say anything about it on social media, because I just assume that people will ignore me and I’ll be stuck with a pile of unsold books anyway.

I’m also trying to finish the edit of my San Francisco photos, but it’s hard because my brain keeps screaming at me that it’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH and that I need to ART HARDER.

Tom, you knew it is good enough to invest in printing and people can't buy it if they don't know it exists. Promote your shiz!

Woo Scola!

Yesterday, I saw that someone had printed out "Let's Go Brandon" on piece of paper in black ink, folded it into a rectangle and taped it on the inside of their rear window. I wanted to be irritated, but then I was just reluctantly amused that the guy couldn't be arsed to spend fifty cents on an actual bumpster sticker, which just shows how lazy and thoughtless those people are.

Also, in minor annoyance news, I went to get poke yesterday, and everyone behind the counter was wearing a mask below their nose. Now, I would have been fine had they not been wearing masks, but I was annoyed at the performative nature of it. I mean, I got my poke and everything, but still.

May the tape melt and be forever a part of the window. My brother has this on a flag in front of his house. My sisters and I completely ignore it.

Yeah I really don’t get the nose below mouth folks these days. Or the lgb folks. Unless it’s lez gay bi!

Tom go you! I didn’t know you made zines.

I’m mad at myself I forgot there’s this new random pretzel cart that is only open Sunday mornings when the weather is nice, a block from my house. And I meant to go today, and forgot! Oops. But the weather is so nice. Rory and I went to see my friends play some soccer and then a friend who is splitting up with her partner moved in this afternoon, she’s going to stay here for a month or so while they do some talking. My dog is very excited to have someone else around.

Last night I ended up finding a little sequined romper and wearing it out to the disco night. Didn’t stay very long (probably not worth the $$ paid) in part because it was very loud and crowded and not doing that for two years it felt like a lot to jump back into. But it was good to get dressed up and go out with friends! As we were leaving someone else was hyping their friend, and told us she was a baby gay and needed some cheering and I told her I had been gay longer than she’d been alive (she was 22) and she was like “my mom is 40!” Omg. I felt elderly AF.
