got sucked into a manic crafting black hole today and did about half of my wig today. i am god again. my girlfriend and i have also decided to carry unsettlingly realistic photos of each other’s pony on our person - mine in a keychain misprint that says “I 💕 my girlfreind” and theirs in their wallet
i sewed the hems and elastic channels in place today, as well as my tiny lil ears, therefore i am a god and nothing will ever stop me
think faux fur, tulle, lace trim, box pleats, beads, bows - it’s gonna be NUTS lol

almost comical that the parents that refused to even say hello or thank you to me the last time i paid for their daughter to see them wanted me to do it again. and of course they’re making my partner deliver that request to me, the partner their family refuses to meet.
this is to say: parents, it is actually incredibly crappy to pretend your child’s partner(s) don’t exist and you do not want to interact with said partner when communication actually needs to happen for safety and wellbeing. that’s really conditional love and *really awful* for everyone involved

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

I've been professionally critiquing and reporting on accessibility and disability for over six years. So how do you quantify what's happened in this industry since 2020? Read my latest essay for @polygon.com here:

The PS5 and Series X era promised inclusion, but the reality is more complicated

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
