And Wow.

Well, today I said something to you about your judgementalness.

You called my friend a derogatory term meant for very large women whose bodies might resemble football players that begins with a and ends with n.  I told I thought that word was mean.  You said it didn’t matter because she wasn’t there to hear it, so I told you that yesterday I called you a fat-ass behind your back and asked, “Does that hurt your feelings?”

See, you forced me to be mean, and now I’m tired from it.  Not appreciated.

I’m Afraid to Tell You…

So, I’ve been struggling with something.  Some people are really judgmental and it bugs me.  Is tumblr an okay place for me to vent this?  I hope so.

Sure, I’m guilty of it sometimes, but after the nonsense I heard today, I’ve decided, I’m quitting it.

I QUIT YOU JUDGEMENTALNESS!

So what if someone is overweight?  So what if they don’t cut their hair in a fashion that you find appealing?  So what if they sag their drawers?  It’s none of my business, and it’s none of yours.  It just makes me want to be mean to you, and being mean takes up a lot of energy, so I really don’t appreciate you forcing that on to me.

And secondly, if you’re going to parade around and talk about nothing but going to church Sunday morning, evening, and Wednesday night and make it a point to come to the lunch gathering and pray in a way to intentionally make the rest of us feel like assholes for eating already, then you better shut your ever loving pie hole about how other people choose to live their lives, cause the last time I checked, Jesus wasn’t all about you going around passing judgement on others.

Side note:  I looked up the word ostensibly in the thesaurus today b/c I was thinking about using it but I wanted to be sure I used it accurately, cause lord knows the last thing I want is to offend someone by misusing the English language, and under “Related Words” it said pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

And the making continues.

And the making continues.

New in shop!

New in shop!

Well I altered a flippin awesome thrifted dress but I can’t show anyone yet. Why, you ask? Well, it really needs a slip.

So I head to a very large store which begins with W to buy a slip. And guess what? The don’t sell slips anymore, just spanx. So my choices are:

a) wear spanx
b) let everyone see my panties (this must be what 90% of America is doing these days)
c) make my own slip

I chose c. The obesity epidemic is real, y’all.

Side note: I stopped at a gas station to buy a can of Coca-Cola. I really really wanted one, just a can. Not a bottle. Well, guess what? They don’t have the cans there anymore, I guess because most of America doesn’t drink less than 72 ounces of soda at one time. More evidence to the above observation.

Color codification dot drawings by artist Lauren DiCioccio. To make each painting, she lays a sheet of frosted mylar over a magazine page and assigns a color to every letter, with numbers as shades of grayscale, then applies tiny dots of paint over every character on the page according to the color-code.
“Making the paintings is a lot like solving a cryptogram,” says DiCioccio, “and the result is a legible blur of dots in the form of the article’s layout, a kind of Braille for the color-inclined.”
Also see other examples of color as data visualization for magazines and art.
