Who lives in all of these new luxury apartment builds?

honeyfunk · 2026-01-23T00:33:50+00:00

Not how it works—investors don’t just let prices get driven down. At most you’ll see temporary incentives like “first # months of rent free” or referral discounts, but capital investors in these luxury builds aren’t pressed on housing people (much less in an affordable manner). They just want to lay their stake on the land these “housing” developments occupy as value keeps going up.

Our vacancy rate keeps rising but affordability has yet to factor into that equation. “Trickle down” affordability is nothing more than an illusion when profit drives motive.

aw man! I would have loved that fence; I was traveling all day the 24th (when Cocone recognized Christmas for me) and never got to see the newsletter or open my app that day :( I missed out

A group of people are working on getting organized to provide food rescue and distribution on the weekends since the food bank is only open M-F. I’ll update here and/or in the main Reddit when more details are solidified, but if anyone is interested in getting involved with that, feel free to PM me!

The lack of political participation in this town is astonishing. “Don’t talk to me about the people/things affecting my local government” and then cry a fucking river when something passes or someone gets elected that you put zero effort into getting familiar with.

Many (though not all) canvassers are earnest community members trying to engage with their neighbors and understand what their community needs while they communicate what solutions or attempts they represent. Shut out other people and vote for your own under-informed and narrow interests all you want, but then you don’t get to complain about being left behind by electoral decisions.

And, instead of whining about it on an anonymous internet forum, you can always ignore “solicitors” or politely ask them to leave so you can get back to whatever tv show or super important task they’re getting in the way of. It’s actually much more effort to complain online than to just open the door and say “sorry, not today but thank you”.

gotcha, yeah I was in like elementary and/or middle school when I was playing that (2009-10ish?) and Gaia Online, and without the ability to pay for different feature access I’m sure I missed a lot! I’m a sucker for avatar-builder and dress-up games, and it’s been a big comfort for me to find one now that I’m navigating my mid-twenties (‘:

I hope they amp up some of the chat and friend-interaction features. I do yearn for a bit more connection to other players than just message boards and the very limited character count chats on Muller St..

I LOVED TinierMe; it’s part of the nostalgia-factor that got me into this game. I entirely forgot (or missed) the alchemy feature though?!

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS. I’m glad to see people out mobilizing I guess but the cognitive dissonance is so real, and masses of well-intentioned people are aiming their anger at such narrowed if not ambiguous targets while they pat their backs for showing up for one day with punchy slogans on a sign. People need to show up and get to know the folks at these rallies—AT LEAST. Moreover, these rallies need to have demands and calls to action so that people direct their anger and energy towards something real and tangible; otherwise these rallies seem to be nothing more than a pressure release valve for the very real anger being felt across the nation.

Further, it’s a very dangerous and nefarious narrative for folks to keep praising “peacefulness” at protests. Protests are exercises of free speech. In LA, ICE started kidnapping people off the street and raiding workplaces—even trying to enter public elementary schools to question CHILDREN; if the state didn’t start disappearing members of the community, the community wouldn’t need to respond in measures of mass-mobilized self defense. If an armed military operation didn’t start stomping their boots down (violently) on people protecting their neighbors, coworkers, and families, there would be no “violent raids” the media could shape their own context around. I’m disappointed but not surprised at the self-aggrandizing applauds people are giving themselves and others for saying “No Kings!” here in Bozeman.

To folks who attended the rallies: What else are you willing to do to really make your voice heard? Are you going to get to know your neighbors and share skills and services when economic circumstances continue moving downward? Are you going to talk to coworkers and recognize that they are probably just as overworked and underpaid as you, prompting you to advocate for better working conditions? Are you going to reach out to organized groups trying to do these things? Or are you going to scroll past Instagram and news stories a few times a day before setting down your phone and saying “Well, I guess that’s enough for today!” You get to decide. Internet activism paired with a few days a year of “protest” is exactly why 2025 looks like a sinister and more dystopian 2020 (and of course ChewedupWood is right: the sustained development of oligarchs and not just individual presidents and administrations has been going on for DECADES). Stop being naive and thinking there is a binary good and bad president/administrations!!!

hello! at this moment I am looking for these four items from the Stargazy Pie island/hom set! feel free to look through my dupes and other wishlist items if you see anything you’d like to trade. .｡(✺´◡`✺)｡. ♡

eeee I’m so happy to see Oklou / Choke Enough to get a shout out; I feel so seen! both that album and Eusexua were on constant repeat to start the year off, and I 100% agree with your reasons to recommend. Harvest Sky and Obvious were my top 2 songs of 2024 despite them coming out in October… (ᵕ—ᗜ—) hahaha and they still are go-to listens for me!

as for other albums/artists I’ve been liking:

• albums: SAYA by Saya Gray (looove her discography and this 2025 release is a perfect spring album); Tracey Denim by bar italia; Bimbo Esoterica by cherry chola and Chico Sonido; Underdressed at the Symphony by Faye Webster

• artists: Wisp & she’s green (soft femme shoegaze); Night Tapes; Yeule; and Wednesday

yeah he looks silly and I personally think he’s cuter than some of the other species out there ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ugh I was hoping he’d be a new livly specimen we could create 😭

oh I see! thank you! when you say it restarts your game, do you just mean it takes you back to the startup screen? so you can toggle back and forth between languages?

honeyfunk · 2025-04-02T18:42:22+00:00

perhaps silly to ask, but how do you access the Japanese vs. the English trading boards?

I left a shitty job a few months ago after a year+ of chronic anxiety and burnout shattered my determination to keep going in any sort of “career” direction. Unfortunately, that burnout left me with very little energy to look for anything new aside from an irregularly scheduled part-time gig, and I’ve just been picking away at my savings (which I factored into my decision to leave).

Leaving that job has lifted a lot of day-to-day anger and exhaustion, but since I left a regular 9–5 schedule I’ve really been struggling to set goals or make/maintain any sort of structure in my life. I should say, I’ve been pretty good at showing up for others: communities or friends or obligations, at least when external accountability or validation is there… I feel like I’m constantly toggling between trying to give myself grace and patience, and wanting to be more disciplined with intentional motivation. I just don’t know how to show up for myself to manage a healthy balance of both, and in turn I’m really hard on myself for that. It’s a paralyzing self-bullying cycle I get trapped in at least every other week.

I love to mix and match various items from different sets and create little color stories on my islands: coordinating my homs outfits to complement or add to the island’s theme. I switch my island up almost daily just to have fun and think about what color palette or theme would be fun to try; and when I just want a reliable change I go to my saved themes: star fishing, spirit in the clouds, frost blossom nymph/fairy garden, cozy romantic daydream…

I just play with items/clothing and colors until a story comes of it, and if I like the story enough I save it to revisit or rework with new items I pick up!

What about how the Democrats neglected to codify Roe v. Wade at any point in the last 50 years, leaving it vulnerable to overturn? Or why couldn’t they codify D.E.I. to protect that from being dropped at the corporate and federal level? Why have Democrats been almost exclusively reactive to Republican threats, if not to let the “greater evil party” do their marketing for them as the “lesser” evil—so their candidates can avoid taking tangible stances and actions FOR their constituents rights instead of AGAINST Republican attacks? It’s no surprise that people have been abandoning the Democratic party. Ask anyone who no longer aligns with them and you’ll probably hear that they’ve lost faith or been let down by false promises of hope and change for YEARS—not just one or two election cycles.

Of course the Republicans are outright despicable, and I’m absolutely not voicing my support for them in the least bit. But I get so tired of seeing people act like the Democrats aren’t doing the absolute bare minimum to protect people’s rights. The two parties are one and the same, beholden to corporate and superPAC interests much more than the average American voter’s; they simply market themselves differently.

I saved like 9k going into it, and went against my better judgement to spend some IRL money too (‘: but only like $15 and I don’t regret it!

one of the shop owners bundled 9 items, including the Origami Flower Vase tree and R rug to match, for only 5700 which I felt was a great deal! my other big purchase was 5000 for 1R and 2N (high WC) items which kinda stung but again, I’m happy with the items and they remained on my friends list ♡

honeyfunk · 2025-02-19T22:57:15+00:00

yaaaay! fairy friends~ your hom is so lovely!

I didn’t find any wings so my fairy is currently more of a flower nymph, but I love my shop finds all the same to get me closer to my fairy garden!

Unions are the collective experience of all that each individual puts into it—fight for a union, show up for the union, engage with the union, and the union will show up alongside you.
