ok i finished my psych notes so now i'm going to tell you all a story
#this is not actually that big of a deal i just want to tell someone anyways#drove up north for the long weekend and heard there was some sort of art and music night happening downtown#and we're staying in a pretty small rural ish town#so we thought it would be nice to go check it out before grabbing dinner#as we're looking for a place to park i think i spotted at least 3 blue lives matter hoodies#and then we got out and i saw another 2nd amendment t shirt#and coupled with the fact that when my dad had been here w/ friends 20 something years ago he had had this wierd micro (tbh not that micro)#agression experience#i was feeling uncomfortable in a way i hadn't really before#it's genuinely such an odd feeling and i wish it on no one. anyways i was internally freaking out a bit as we walked down#AND THEN#2 things happened#1 we passed this storefront with some HUGE letterpresses in them#so i went in and was met by literally the most amazing store ever#i could have lived there no joke#it was a printshop and papiere and they had the most lovely cards and a little press you could use and the most GORGEOUS paper i've ever se#ever seen these lovely pens and i cannot stress how amazing the postcards/prints/cards were#and that night happened to be the opening of a local collage artists exhibition and her work was just breathtaking#anyways after getting some stuff i went to checkout and ended up chatting with the owner#who as it turns out does all the desiigning + carving of the stamps#and she offered to show me around the actual print shop w/ the presses and whatnot#she was so lovely#omg wait i've gotten sidetracked#in the shop where was just a lot of queer friendly stuff and pieces centered around poc#like they had cards of people hugging and there wasn't just one m/f white couple#and they had a few...coming out cards ig? idk but they were hilarious#okay and then#i finally leave the shop and walk out onto the main drag#and it looks like every queer person in the town is out tonight#literally drag queens with flags tied around them so many steampunk couples and a ton of people who's outfits reminded me of
