I found this youtube video of a TikTok compilation of 'purse restock station' videos and like an idiot I clicked on it. God when will I learn? My faith in humanity is suffering enough without shit like this.

For those of you fortunate enough not to know, a 'restock station' is basically a big acrylic box with compartments that you fill up with things you usually keep in your purse, so when you run out of something or you switch purses you just take the stuff from your restock station.

In theory, this is actually right up my alley because I pack all of my purses like I'm expecting to survive the apocalypse with nothing but what I already have on me. I'm that one girl who has an extra tampon, bandaids, ibuprofen, an extra raincoat, deodorant, scrunchie, brush, you fucking name it I have it with me. I even have one of those travel toothbrushes in case I get sick after a car ride. If you dropped me anywhere in the world with just the stuff I have in my purse, I think I could survive for 24 hour if I had a good coat on me.

But these videos really blow my gasket because I know, I KNOW what shit I might actually need and what I've eventually taken out because I never got to use it, and these girlies? They're so fucking obviously not using any of this shit it drives me crazy. They're an insult to overpackers everywhere. Tampons, soap paper and wet wipes, yeah, that makes sense you want that in every purse. Mini fucking beauty blenders and mini razors???? Those teeny compressed towels that nobody uses and mini packs of tictacs????? AREN'T TICTACKS ALREADY TINY ENOUGH???? I saw one where the girl put in facemasks. THOSE DON'T EVEN MAKE SENSE FOR AN OVERNIGHT BAG!!!! WHY ARE THERE SO MANY AIRPODS THERE?????

I feel like those restock stations are a mockery of me specifically and I want to bite someone. I want to go fucking feral and grab these girlies by the neck and shake them until their brain starts working again. This is a cosplay of us overprepared girlies. It would be satire if they had a smidge of self awareness. Overconsumption aestetic in a new hat. I bet they wouldn't even give a friend in need one of those tampons they're always shoving in there BECAUSE THEY AREN'T ACTUALLY USING THEM!!!!

I'm putting a leather cover on my thread book to make it more durable, and debating a layer of board between the paper and leather for extra rigidity.

This is probably different for different people but for me personally ADHD feels like if you can only carry a cup of water across a room if you’re juggling with your other hand

Another thing fandom needs to start doing more of is projecting on tops.

There are delicious amounts of psychological distress you can inflict on that guy once you get into his head. The brainworms of forcing agency and initiative on someone who genuinely is Not Fucking Ready For It are exquisite.

question: how does it feel to watch people you care about be mistreated? how would you describe that feeling?

[toflyinreverse]

I personally wanna see less 'you are not a burden/it's not work to love you' and more 'you are worth the work it takes to love you.' I KNOW I'm a burden sometimes. that isn't such a terrible thing! humans are strong. we can carry burdens. and it is work for me to be there for my friends, but it's work I'm willing to do.

we need to acknowledge this because pretending love isn't work will never make people like me feel less guilty for accepting love. we need to talk about it so people don't feel bad for having boundaries and not always being up to do the work. we need to accept it so we can properly appreciate what others do for us and what we're doing for them.

yes it does take work to love you. but guess what? you still deserve love, and you deserve people who are willing to do the work to love you. it doesn't make you bad. all love take work. and everyone is worth it.
