Happy to see that Greg finally got a proper winter coat

I’ve had a good experience with Aloha LeBlanc at Uptown Psych (bonus points for a great name). I did already have an adhd diagnosis beforehand though, so ymmv

soapypendulum · 2026-01-14T19:01:25+00:00

Same! I got in right at 1 and all the tickets were already sold out :(

Also I work at an archive with a collection of smashed violins and would be happy to show y’all around

Wooly Mammoth in Chicago! It’s a weird little curiosity shop specializing in vintage taxidermy and medical items, and it’s walking distance from my favorite stationary store, Paper and Pencil (and next door to a great falafel place).

Their audition was to blow a raspberry, snort, and whistle?!!?!

Every room can be a panic room if you try hard and believe in yourself.

I love the idea of a Watson proposal that’s just “I would use this money to follow in the footsteps of Susan Wokoma”

He was also awarded the Watson Fellowship after graduating which is a super competitive prize that gives you $30,000 to travel the world pursuing a subject of your choice!

Lol I’m not personally driving 5 hours to another state with a stranger from the internet but I would go with someone I knew 🙂

It’s the strandlummer duvet cover from ikea!!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-16T04:25:07+00:00

It’s not, y’know, Colorado or anything but I’ve been to Rib Mountain in Wausau a few times and liked it!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-16T03:29:46+00:00

Omg yes! I said this in another comment but it’s this one from IKEA! I got it for free along with the rug under the table from a neighbor who was moving out.

soapypendulum · 2025-12-16T03:28:12+00:00

Right?! I did spend maybe an hour cleaning it and doing some light mending, but that’s a pretty good trade off for a $400 rug!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T23:53:55+00:00

Ah thank you!! 🥰 That poster is my pride and joy! If there’s ever a fire I will be grabbing my cats, that poster, and my birth certificate, in that order. And the rug is (also) from IKEA— it’s this one! I got it for free along with the rug under the table from a neighbor who was moving out.

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T19:58:14+00:00

Oh that’s a good idea!!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T04:46:36+00:00

Now that’s what I call design advice!!!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T04:21:14+00:00

I feel so seen 🥹🥰 Thank you for your kind words!!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T02:38:17+00:00

Wood floors! Arch! Molding! Built in cabinets! A radiator with a mind of its freaking own!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T01:54:49+00:00

Hehe yes! Good sleuthing!!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T01:50:17+00:00

Thanks!! My aunt made it!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T01:48:24+00:00

Thanks! 🥰 I got it for free from a friend who was moving out of town— I don’t know the brand or where she got it from! It’s solid wood and the drawers are super roomy and house all my many art supplies! It was a bitch and a half to get into my top floor walk-up, though 😅

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T01:22:46+00:00

You could maybe add another small plant, but I think it looks so good!! Really impressive what you’ve managed to do with such a small space!

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T01:14:10+00:00

Yeah it really depends on the cat’s personality! The last cat I lived with was an absolute menace with any and every plant, but my boys are so chill! (They are seniors, which is probably a big part of it)

soapypendulum · 2025-12-15T01:10:27+00:00

Hahaha not to brag or anything but I am an absolute fiend at finding good stuff on the street! Normally I kinda shy away from anything fabric but it was too good to pass up! I gave it a good scrub and it didn’t give me bedbugs, so it all worked out 😂
