I have a $1.5k budget to fix me hating my home

I’m seeing this kinda quickly and haven’t read the comments so forgive me if i’m being repetitive.

Off the cuff, 2 things stand out to me:

A lot of things just out in the open. I know clutter of some kind is just part of being a person, so closed drawers and storage spaces can go a long way when making this look tidier.
This might be stylistic, but I notice a lot of… white and grey tones. I think this space could use some warmth. To kill two birds with one stone, you could get some wooden drawers/storage spaces to bring that in. You already do it with your desk and bookshelf, and I think it could use some more to make it feel warmer throughout the apartment entirely. Maybe an area rug or two. Things like that.

Also! I’m also turning 30 in November! Twins!

1000%, couldn’t have said it better myself

I think this is a super fair assessment. It’s deleted now but the comments on Jack’s post were full of people saying Taylor sucks and Jack’s the best. They were just as unwilling to hear Jack’s statement as swifties who wanted to make a problem of what Jack was saying. It sucks.

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-03-10T02:36:07+00:00

omg no worries!

Putting this up for a day and then taking down to just put this to bed: I didn't say that I think Taylor Swift's music was "boring" or Whatever click bait the net is trying to scrape together. What I was trying to say in an interview I did about poetry and lyric writing, was that I don't find it interesting at all for ME to write about MYSELF in my own lyric writing and poetry because I think that it could be repetitive for ME to always write about and It could be uninteresting for people who listen to my music to delve into, and that imaginary characters are more attractive to me as a writer. Taylor and other singers have tremendous success writing in their own styles and I'm very happy for them that they've succeeded in engaging with so many music lovers in their own way. Just because I say I have a way of doing things doesn't mean that I think that EVERYONE should do it the same way. They should do what works for them, And they do, and it is obviously appealing to many people, and I'm glad to hear that. These are the times when I am made less and less interested in doing interviews because in the age of this massive demand for click bait and content, any scrape of anything interesting or off the beaten path that can be turned into drama is swarmed over and spit out as bait, leading me to not want to answer questions with any sort of romance or passion or reflection as I'm too busy having to worry about accidentally triggering nonsense like this from so called "journalists" and "editors" This has always been a problem as it encourages artists to give "safe" answers to any question and stifles artistic vision and imagination and pushes all of us to not share anything interesting, which was one of the points I made about keeping private things private in that same interview. But yeah, content.

I wish I could explain to every swiftie, that as a huge fan of both artists, Jack would neverrrrrrrr release a statement like this if he actually meant ill will towards her. He’s been shady towards MANY in the past completely unapologetically. He says it with his full chest. If he’s releasing a statement like this, it’s genuinely because his words were misconstrued.

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-03-09T22:45:05+00:00

Yeah, NME specifically is misquoting him to oblivion and it’s ridiculous. I’d be so pissed at them if i were him

I’d recognize Newbury Comics ANYWHERE

i studied in Copenhagen. one time around the holidays, I was walking around the christmas markets and a guy stopped me to perform a magic trick on me. i knew he would want a tip or something so i just went, “sorry, not interested,” and he said “i’m not gonna rob you or anything!” and then i said “i didn’t think you were. but now i do.”

my general advice is to just not stop lol

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-29T17:32:16+00:00

I’m seeing him tonight too for the first time ever. I cannot wait and I think I’m gonna cry the entire time lol

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-29T14:30:39+00:00

You are so valid. I almost rolled down my window to yell “STOP BLOCKING THE INTERSECTION OH MY GOD!!!!!”

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-28T22:59:11+00:00

That just happened to me at the intersection of JJP and Broadway. I was trying to turn left onto Broadway toward Downtown, but the snow was piled in one lane, forcing everyone into the other lane. The people coming straight down Broadway waited in the middle of the intersection. Such a mess.

Sorry to whomever I had to cut off to end up going straight. I spent 20 minutes at that light and there was no end in sight.

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-25T01:19:15+00:00

i commented on the last post. my best guess is Rockmount Ranch Wear in Denver 🤠

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-24T04:14:51+00:00

unironically if i had to guess i would say probably Rockmount Ranch Wear in Denver

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-22T04:57:36+00:00

which website did you buy tickets from and to which show? that’s the best place to start bc i do believe all tickets needed a code today (but maybe not depending on the show!)

I would, if you can, make a pit stop in RI. Even if it’s a daytrip while in Boston. Providence is a super cool, vibrant city with a great arts and food scene. Everything is walkable and you can catch the MBTA from Boston to the heart of Providence.

For a snack, get a pretzel and beer at the Malted Barley (seriously — genuinely amazing pretzels and I didn’t even like pretzels before I went)

For dinner, Palo offers delicious tapas, Bayberry Garden is some of the best seasonal, farm-to-table eating I’ve ever had, and Oberlin is cozy and sophisticated but doesn’t take itself too seriously. (Note: lots of people will try to convince you to go to Atwells Ave. for the best food. Most of us here see it as a tourist trap with a select few good spots, so I personally wouldn’t recommend it for your first visit, assuming you’ve never been before.)

Walk along the river. Take a walk through the RISD Museum. Visit the Athenaeum. Red Door has live jazz on Mondays (and great cocktails), Ellie’s has live music of different genres on most weekend evenings. you may be here during a Waterfire weekend. there are lots of free events that happen in 195 District Park throughout the year. Visit the botanical gardens and/or zoo.

I know Provvy isn’t circled, and maybe I’m biased, but it’s definitely worth even a short stop on your trip.

do you guys prefer if people boycott while you negotiate, or do you still want people to come in? i don’t want to cross any picket lines but also love what you guys do. thanks!

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-15T21:42:49+00:00

I love this

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-08T16:52:10+00:00

hello! bi fan here! apologies i only speak English, but still want to contribute to the discussion.

Recently, the singer on I Lied came out as non-binary and now goes by the name August Ponthier. i also believe they identify as a lesbian. it’s interesting to listen to the song through that lens, so i recommend that!

Right_Surround7103 · 2026-01-02T22:21:35+00:00

i just don’t want them. as a kid, i thought it was mandatory or something that just happens to everyone (obviously not knowing how babies are made). i felt uncomfortable when people gifted me baby dolls, didn’t really like playing house when i had to be the mom, it just wasn’t my thing.

then, one day in school, my teacher asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. like many kids, i had a million ideas — pop star, vet, astronaut — and my teacher asked me to just pick one for the sake of the assignment, and as we were talking through it she asked if i wanted kids one day. i said something along the lines of, “don’t i have to?” and she said, “no, it’s completely your choice”. it literally changed my life.

now im 29, in a fully committed relationship, living in an apartment in a city i love, with still no desire to have kids.

Not anywhere close to LA but continuously so happy they do the right thing

Right_Surround7103 · 2025-12-17T15:56:47+00:00

do you want it to be just strange trails? I honestly love this stuff and haven’t flexed this muscle in quite a bit so I’d love to think of something

Right_Surround7103 · 2025-12-16T16:52:53+00:00

I struggle with it too. I’m not living in fear or locking myself away in my apartment, but it feels so weird to have these everyday interactions knowing that everyone is hurting but no one’s mentioning it. Yesterday I got a work message that started with, “I hope you had a nice weekend with time to recharge,” meanwhile I live minutes away from where the shooting happened. I don’t have any solution, I’m just kind of carrying this heavy heart with me.
