I wanna make something explicitly clear:

When that motherfucker finally dies (and it will be soon, I feel it in my bones) I don’t want ANYBODY saying shit about “okay but y’all realize we gotta deal with V*nce as president now, right-” FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS POST MORTEM.

We get to celebrate this. We get to celebrate the death of a monster. Give us a weekend to have our parties before we get back to the severity of our fuck ass government.

For the love of Christ let us have a win.

I am so sick and tired of seeing the trans women around me being slowly hot coaled into the closet and into essentially being forced back into "Men who would really love being women but Can't because they Aren't". It is so painful stop fucking doing this to our trans women. Stop forcing them to be "Fine" with being called dude bro man he and biologically male stop it stop it stop it you are killing her. You are killing her.

final attack of 2025! #8 for @coyotebrained ! attack

Hello!

I'm CJ and I wanted to make an archive/information hub for things that are this material:

If you've ever tried to find information on this material online you'll know there is frustratingly little on it, so here's a brief overview of what I know so far:

They're usually called popcorn plastic, EVA lamps, sponge lamps, or melted plastic pellet lamps. I've also seen them called sparkle lamps, but as you can imagine that makes them near impossible to find under that name.

EVA stands for ethylene vinyl acetate which is a type of thermoplastic!!

These lamps were/are often in the shapes of animals, characters, or objects like footballs or cars, and were then usually airbrushed to add color detailing. Often these were manufactured as halloween decorations, so you'll find a ton of skulls, witches, pumpkins and ghosts if you search around for them!

They rarely have any branding on them, appear to have largely been cheaply made (think the quality of carnival or arcade prizes) and their bases were often a coiled spring stand. There is a metal rimmed hole on the bottom or back of most lamps where a bulb on a wire could be inserted. More often than not, they also have a switch on the wire to turn on/off the light

They appear to have originated sometime in the 60's and went out of popularity by the end of the 2000's.

I've seen out of stock listings for lamps like these as recently as 6 years ago, however (aside from being sold on the Rhode Island Novelty website at the time) there is absolutely no branding information provided on the boxes of the lamps themselves.

If I find current retailers that still manufacture these lamps I will definitely share it here!

I have a feeling that due to the relative fragility of these pieces, many haven't survived and were seen as cheap or unappealing enough to just toss rather than make an effort to restore them, so it's possible that not a ton survive, and as far as I can tell there have been no efforts to archive or preserve a history of them, which frankly bums me out so I'm going to do my best to celebrate them here :-]

All that to say: if you have any interest in these, or are curious about the origins of a piece you own, or trying to find a specific lamp you used to have, send me an ask! I'll do my best to help you out!
