High class fancy trash

SURPRISE!!! And here y'all thought the raffle was the only thing up our sleeve!!!

Here's the plan:

If this post reaches 25 reblogs here on tumblr dot com, and 150 likes on our instagram before July 15th when pre-orders close, everyone who places an order for the full bundle of the zine (including those who already placed their order) will receive their goodies in a big fancy box with custom art!!!

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

but, the thing is

even polyester fabric was higher quality in the past

yes, not all of it, but, still, a noticeable amount of older polyester was...nicer.

yeah, it would still get picks and hold on to every bit of underarm odor, and that's on top of no-one knowing about microplastic shedding

the BLINDING difference in clothing quality between even the 1990s and the mid-2000s...not even going in to the decline in quality of clothing made in natural fibers (jeans with elastane, i'm looking at you), I've got faux-leather trousers from 1980s that are in near-mint condition, even after being hired and worn repeatedly for the past 40 years. we get donations of clothing that shows and films have bought online for contemporary shows that are disintegrating after being used on one show, for like....10 days, max.

don't even get me started on the seam allowances we used to get in clothes, because the assumption was you'd alter it at some point...

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

Ladies and gentlemen (and emos),....WE GOT EM! Our first stretch goal has been UNLOCKED! a spiral bound journal complimentary with your stay at the Hotel Bella Muerte!

You can write your deepest darkest secrets in it like how you murdered your rich husband, OR cool recipes you'd like to try! The possibilities are endless!

Those who order the "Flat Bread" Bundle, the "Half A Meal 3 Ways" Bundle, "Merch A La Carte" Bundle, and our full "Bloody Buffet" Bundle will now automatically have the journal included!

And here's an updated look at our Stretch Goal Meter!!! We still have a little over a week and a half left to go in pre-orders, so there's still time to get even more cool stuff!

So if you haven't already, go grab your copy of the zine and any cool merch you've been eyeing! Every order gets us another step closer to more cool stuff!!! But what truly matters is every order giving us more to donate to our cause 'Focus Congo'!

My daughters spend their days standing in long lines for water and bread instead of living their childhood 🥺 My husband was also injured while trying to bring food for us during the famine.

I created this fundraiser with a broken heart, only hoping to protect my daughters and give them a chance to live with dignity, safety, and hope again 🙏

Any donation, no matter how small, can help us survive. And if you cannot donate, sharing our story may help us reach someone who can, but please try to support us with a donation because my campaign is still new and my little girls desperately need your help 🌿

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

Its autumn so here's a perfectly fitting pajamas just for her.
