Frustrated by a paywall? Don’t forget to use the url in archive.ph Also use ILL in your local library. Their webpage typically will have a form where you can request a book they don’t have, and sometimes they buy it to put into circulation.

#doorway
Adversity is a mountain.
Hope is the water spring.
To make each step be so certain.
Nimble and steady bring
the strength to make that climb again -
if you struggle, doubt all.
Mind is a doorway, to step in.
Reflection is the hall
Body is the #shrine, spirit shine
Open shut doors.

Hollow bones, cracked
Soothe say to smooth soothe the lot
Weary, troubled

For what mind lacked
is how divination sought
answers so subtle

Oracle made pact
for answers in what gods wrought
saw peace in rubble

leek bots and onion-ated dust bunnies
we said we could read the funnies
but we weren't in any hurry to tell the future
what we were thinking as we saw predictive tech
being restrictive and spawning a hunger further constricting
what Life could be and ought to, well as oughts go
the good decade

AND! It’s not like Victorias Secret panties are made of super stretch material!!!! Not like SKIMS!!! Where they have NASA astronaut space fabric where it LOOKS impossibly and tiny and, you think to yourself “oh tha will never fit” but it DOES!

Phantom of the Archives (~*Christine*~) @archivewhisperer.bsky.social · 8h

It was like, a panty that may have fit a tiny little pre teen. I do not understand who has a butt that small! Honestly! I have known some tiny chicks I have seen their butts! They still have child bearing hips!

Phantom of the Archives (~*Christine*~) @archivewhisperer.bsky.social · 9h

I am still salty about that one Victoria’s Secret order I made where I used a promo code for two free panties and didn’t know I was supposed to manually add them. They sent one ONE pair of xs small panty when none of my order was xs. Like I’m a fucking joke, fuck off with all that!!!

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.
