visibly mending
extend the life of your clothes by covering holes or stains with embroidery floss and yarn while giving them new cool zombie flair! you don’t even have to be neat, the more imperfect the weave the more organic the result. the best mended garments are almost fungal, covered in sick multi-colored lichen.

VISIBLE MENDING
update on some projects as I’ve been teaching myself to mend my socks and sweaters for some cool zombie flair. I once said that it doesn’t matter how messy it is because it’ll just look more fungal and it turns out, you do want to be a little precise with weaving under and over the warp threads so you don’t make odd straight lines. thinking I’ll jazz up a boring mass-produced sweater my partner doesn’t wear anymore with some embroidery next!

MEND YOUR CLOTHES!!!!
I recently got this wooden handle looking thing to mend clothes and it works so well. I love using sparkly thread for all my mending. Adds a little pizazz.

not keeping a good thought to yourself
just compliment them! just tell them you love their outfit! just tell them their haircut is perfect and you can't find that on pinterest! tell them "i like you," so their brain can relax and they can just be. tell them when you're reminded of something they said or taught you. tell them "i was thinking about you!" and mean it. ...this is just the pep talk i needed

ANTI-REC: JUST TEXTING HI
I beg of you get to the point. texting is not an instant messenger and I have not committed to a conversation / to being on my phone all day. you have no idea how this text finds me.

Actually resting
it’s not bed rotting to rest when you’re tired, run-down, or sick. I can feel where capitalist dogma has seeped into me every time I feel doubt or shame for how much time I’ve spent in bed or doing very little, or the fear that I’ll never be motivated to do anything again. it’s not true! inevitably after only 3 days of solid rest I naturally crave activity, projects, organization, work, and not as penance. rec for rest: screen time of any kind is not the rest I’m talking about… we’re talking rest as a monotask.
