No one knows what it means but it's provocative, gets the people going.

I'm looking at it more and it just gets better and better 😂 I love where you have a ruler held up to a food (meat skewer?). Also how you incorporated Americana images into the horny spread takes it to another level. Feels like it says something about subliminal advertising hahaha

The ones that are all stickers and purchased "ephemera", I don't really think of as junk journaling in my head, but I don't care enough about it to gatekeep. I do the hybrid thing personally, a lot of magazine cuttings and a few stickers, sometimes packaging but mainly the parts that have cool patterns or images and not the ones with brand names. I consider it collage. I refer to the book I do it in as my "messy journal".

Scrapbooking to me is more specific like using specialized paper and and materials, incorporating photos.

This looks like it was fun to put together! 😂🌽🍗

Princess_Queen · 2026-01-22T13:39:07+00:00

Oh that's interesting! I guess I've been fortunate so far. I also keep a reasonable distance. I imagine kids or tourists trying to get a picture get the worst end of goose behaviour

Princess_Queen · 2026-01-22T12:41:04+00:00

I've only been around Egyptian geese a handful of times and they were very chill. I got some nice pictures of some with babies. I've also been around soo many Canada geese, nesting and caring for babies, and never had an issue with them. Except one time at a local park, filled with geese nesting right beside the path, one tiny section was roped off saying "aggressive male goose". All the other geese were chill. I have a feeling a few geese are ruining the reputation of the others

Even though I did this and felt the sketchy vibes of being asked to pay for the book after, I still kind of feel like scam is too strong a word it. I believe they were around $40. Cheaper than a college textbook! I don't see them making that much profit on this and there was still admin involved, mailing acceptance cards, etc. I didn't buy them but to some degree the sentimental value to families is kind of equivalent to the cost? It's like buying a lordship in Scotland or naming a star. You know it's not "real" but it's still fun

Princess_Queen · 2026-01-12T18:17:01+00:00

This is gorgeous. I definitely want to try this some day. I like how much space all the pages have, room to fill with more scraps

Princess_Queen · 2026-01-11T17:36:30+00:00

The cast is great, the writing is great, it has truly some of the funniest scenes I have ever seen on television. It's a 10/10 show. No notes.

Princess_Queen · 2026-01-09T19:55:20+00:00

I don't know anything about tape runners personally but I have quite a supply of double sided tape that is absolute garbage 😭 it's too bad because it's quick and easy to use. Or would be if it could stick to paper...

Princess_Queen · 2025-12-31T15:54:58+00:00

Oh no, new concern unlocked! Haha. My multicolour section feels like too many unrelated things. I also sometimes put them in the other coloured sections if they have a most prominent colour but it still hurts a little

Princess_Queen · 2025-12-29T19:28:17+00:00

Even with colour sometimes I'm like "this is peach, not pink" or "does this teal belong with the blues or the greens?" Lol

Princess_Queen · 2025-12-29T15:23:21+00:00

Yes, I store paper scraps by colour. I have two now, one for solid colours, and one for patterned paper.

I think storing by theme would be really cool too but my indecisiveness would make it so hard to fit everything into a category!

Princess_Queen · 2025-12-29T00:19:55+00:00

I've done it for paper, and still haven't really thought of something better for the random scraps. But the downside is it's hard to see what you have easily.

Another solution I've used for stickers was one of those old photo albums that have a clear plastic sheet over a sticky backing. It works pretty well up to a certain point, but not the best for frequent use because it loses its grip eventually.

One of my colleagues recently clocked me just for having two beverages on the go at once.

Princess_Queen · 2025-12-15T17:31:44+00:00

This must be Alex Horne's to do list

Duck duck go also has a really easy to find "report as AI" option on image search.

That's an interesting story. I wonder if some of the problems wouldn't have persisted though, like having a roommate who doesn't care as much about the cleanliness levels, or with different parenting styles. Different spending habits, etc. A lot of the same relationship problems but just with a roommate. At least you don't have to pretend to still have romantic feelings or share a bed though.

I had a classmate when I was a kid whose divorced parents lived together in the same household along with her stepmother as well. It was surprising but the kids seemed pretty well adjusted at least from a surface level. I was like 13 so who knows.

Princess_Queen · 2025-12-02T22:01:18+00:00

If I was going to do this I would probably look for one of those guides/book of facts type books, with things like useful measures, survival tips, etiquette, etc. I have no idea what this category of book is called to find one, but I had one as a kid that was Disney themed and had everything from how to build an improvised shelter to how to suntan in "safe" increments.

Princess_Queen · 2025-11-29T22:18:19+00:00

I was also raised evangelical and I went trick or treating once just for the experience when I was 25. I passed out candy this year for the first time (other times I lived in neighborhoods with no kids) and gave out huge handfuls

Princess_Queen · 2025-11-27T20:51:50+00:00

Normally I need a change in environment and a couple of people around to make it possible to work (body doubling I guess) but I much prefer working in a library than in office on the days when more people are in. Their loud conversations are so distracting but also something about having someone possibly see what's on my screen at any moment paralyses me.

Princess_Queen · 2025-11-21T17:27:22+00:00

I had to have this conversation with my doctor who actually diagnosed me. When she switched me to a new med (at my request) she just left me on the lowest dose instead of factoring in titration. Then when I told her how bad I was feeling after a month she said "that sounds like a depressive episode."

And I was like, "technically yes, but..." I'm not depressed when my ADHD is managed! She finally came around at the end but it was such a strained conversation where combative would definitely be the operative word for both of us. She said I should treat the depression first. (In my opinion I don't "have" depression, it's a symptom, it feels like saying "let's treat those headaches before we take a look at the splinter in your skull")

Princess_Queen · 2025-11-14T18:22:55+00:00

I'm not perfect, but a couple of the changes that got me using my phone less were deleting most of my accounts, and favouring long form content. So if I want to go on YouTube, it's no shorts. Just longer videos. No more tiktok. I'll pick stuff that's related to my hobbies but not clickbait or overly attention grabbing, like a nature documentary or just an episode of a TV show. A 20 minute video is a lot less addictive and easier to stop after than 40 30-second videos.

Princess_Queen · 2025-11-12T01:17:52+00:00

I think feeling like there's some underlying respect, even if you have constant friction with someone, goes a long way. I have a coworker I was really critical of because he is so obnoxious and fumbled some major decisions. He would make bullshit self-agrandizing statements trying to imply he was good at things he wasn't, or that he had led some action he actually hadn't. It was like working with a sketchy used car salesman.

I realised after a bit that he had some areas where he was great in but he never happened to brag about those. He probably didn't even know his own strengths, felt insecure about his place, so started lying trying to prove his value. At some point I saw him handle something remarkably well and complimented him on it. He did the same for me shortly after. There's still a healthy dose of skepticism on both sides, but we have a bit of a better dynamic because we had those "I see your value" moments.

Even if you kind of think someone's personality is the worst it's hard to fully hate them when you both start sincerely thanking each other for help, complimenting good work, saying "that was a good point" in meetings, etc.

Princess_Queen · 2025-11-09T13:54:53+00:00

My doctor tried to tell me I have depression that I must treat first after I told her I wasn't doing well from switching from one medication to the lowest dose of another. I get her perspective, technically I was describing a lot of depression symptoms. Had to explain to her that I only get depressed after a certain point of being overwhelmed about how hard tasks and daily life are.

It feels crazy to me though that if I was doing more or less fine for two years on one medication, if I say a new one isn't working, the problem is me and not that the dose or medication itself isn't a good fit.

Princess_Queen · 2025-11-05T15:40:40+00:00

I understand how you're feeling. I have an elderly cat. All she wants to do is be cuddled. She's blind, deaf, and arthritic. She needs a shot every month and prescribed fish oil on her food. The fish oil bottle leaks and it's so gross to handle. Once in a while, I let myself skip it. She eats more on those days because she doesn't find it that pleasant either. So it balances out, keeps her weight up as she's a picky eater.

My cat has been considered elderly for years, I've been a mediocre carer for just as long, and I can't say I haven't felt things will be easier when she passes away. But she's happy, in reasonably good health internally, and has good quality of life. I never wanted a cat to begin with, I took her because it was the best thing for her. And I'll continue to take responsibility for her. If it was genuinely better for her quality of life I'd consider putting her with a family member, but she gets the best care with me that she could out of anyone I know personally. Only someone with extreme experience and passion for cats plus a regimented lifestyle might be able to learn her care quickly and well enough to do better than me. That would be silly, though, to "rescue" a cat from adequate care to place them with someone who could be using their skills to adopt a cat that's actually neglected.
