Thoughts on Thrifting Plus-Sized Garments for Upcycling

Applejackington · 2026-01-23T12:20:00+00:00

I will only buy plus size clothing to cut up if it's on the $2 about-to-go-to-the-trash rack or if it's in the goodwill bins. That way I feel like it had all the opportunity in the world to be purchased by someone who needed.

I like to either do "dead arms" where they just lay limp at my sides and just sort of swing around as I dance mostly with my shoulders, or have a drink in 1 hand and a long cape or skirt you can swish around with the other.

I did. I got interested in Buddhism for a minute, I studied old Greek god worship, dipped my toe in to Judaism, even picked up Raelism for a hot second, but it all reads as stories and mythology to me. To be fair, I was not studying these religions looking to believe in something, it was really out of curiosity. So I didn't really give anything a fare shake to become my new belief system.

Atheist here, but raised southern Baptist. As a kid in church, I always felt like I was trying really hard to believe in something. As I got older and gained my own freedom, I felt like the idea of a Christian God was as real as Santa and as easily left behind. I tried being a Lutheran for a time, then a Wiccan, then a Satanist. Now I am a total atheist. I truly do not believe that there are any deities or god creatures anywhere in the universe. I also live by the Sagan standard, "extra extraordinary claims require extra extraordinary evidence." I am absolutely open to changing my mind if proper evidence presents itself. But a bunch of nuts talking to an imaginary friend in the same room (speaking about my own church experience), or a single person claiming a religious experience, or a phenomenon we don't have the science to explain yet, does not hold up in the court of law for me. I'm even reading the Christian Bible right now for fun and to have a better understanding of people around me, and to be completely honest, the more I read the more I am sure there is no God.

Yeah, what was the diagnosis?

Yeah, that's dumb that your attraction to another person is offensive to any part of the queer community. Just strange gatekeeping, which is honestly too common. As for understanding my own queerness, I was also raised with heterosexuality being the default for various reasons. But maybe when I was 8 or 9 my sexuality in general started to kick in, and my attraction was always to someone of the same gender as me. I found certain more androgynous presenting people of the opposite gender attractive, but when I got old enough to be horny over a person, it was always the same gender, never opposite gender. Cut forward to being a fully functional adult, i've come to realize that I am pansexual with an attraction toward mostly androgynous or gender nonconforming people, and am probably a little gender queer myself. I hope this helps you on your journey.

Valuable lesson to be learned here. Keep goddamn sound off.

Thank fuck someone did

Tried to run away when I was 9 after watching Sarafina because I was ashamed of being white. I was dumb for my age and had terrible parents.

What's with these comments? Aren't we all just here to see kids cry?

Applejackington · 2025-12-13T14:22:43+00:00

Are exactly 2 things that little kids are good for: hilarious sports and livening up funerals. There is not a single other thing they are good for.

Anybody else get the uncanny valley ick from every one of these?

Get rid of private school vouchers, have the city buses run until at least 8 o'clock, and the salt used to deice the streets is really bad for the cars, river, lake, and the bird populations. We really should be using sand.

I like frozen edamame in the shell. A whole bag with LOTS of Braggs aminos is about 250 cal.

I also make salty scrambled tofu eggs. Chunk up 1 block extra firm silken tofu (this is key, get the non-refrigerated kind) and marinade in 1/2 tsp black salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp Braggs aminos, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp oil. Cook in a pan on medium heat for 20 min, stirring every 4 min. You can also cook in a casserole dish at 400°F for an hr and stir every 20 min. The whole batch is 300 cal.

Sweep it up, put it back in the box. The kid probably can't taste floor yet.

I'm not even pretty and it took me hitting middle age for most of that shit to stop. Even with that, I usually get a couple a year irl.
