want to preface that i don’t hate the concept of reusing them. my issue is that at this point, they are starting to feel like a regular plastic bag and i have too many in my closet now. i would rather a store that doesn’t use plastic bags invest in paper bags because then i have more uses for it. love Trader Joe’s bags because not only can i recycle them, i can use them for other things like shipping small packages, compost, or using it as kindling for fires. most reusable bags from the store are single use and can’t be recycled efficiently again. especially with using meal or grocery delivery services, sometimes the restaurant invests in a plastic reusable bag with cute branding that im NEVER going to use, or an aldi instacart order and the shopper gives me reusable bags instead of grabbing cardboard boxes to hold the food. i am in a conundrum here and i want out 😂 its getting to the point where i want an actual plastic bag so that i can at least use it to deep condition my hair or recycle it at the grocery store

I am unfortunately going to admit that I am one of the people who bought reusable grocery bags years ago, and always forgot to bring them in. I’ve made it a priority to remember them and it’s been so so so nice. they hold so much stuff, and I don’t have to worry about the bottom ripping on the long trek up to my apartment. If I do end up forgetting them now tho, it’s fine bc I have cats and use those bags for their litter box waste lol.

Don't get me wrong. They can be practical and I'm sure at some point I'll have to use one in some other context that isn't buying groceries. But I'm tired of people who treat it like it's a statement piece in fashion. They ruin their outfits with it and they try (and fail) to manipulate me into thinking I need it. It's very ugly. I'm so sorry to the people who use it genuinely thinking it looks good with their outfit. 😭 Every time a person is trying stuff on in a video and they finish it with "of course my iconic tote bag couldn't be left out" or something like that, a fairy dies.

idk how i came across this in my daily wikipedia surfs, but something about this painting just amuses me so much. my first impression was this looks fairly modern in a way, possibly because of the composition and how she made her features so light and bouncy. it oddly made me think of disney when i looked for longer. then i see it was made in 1909 😂 this painting can transcend times and i wouldn’t truly know when it was made unless i looked more closely at the objects around the subject. but even that can be a stretch as vintage items can be popular amongst anyone and they can just have their vanity setup look like this. i tried looking for photographs of her online but alas nothing came up with certainty.

when you’re bored, ever just get the urge to take a walk, do yoga, or work out in some other way?
