Hot tip for gigantic, blank walls: Go to a stationery store and buy a fancy individual sheet of wrapping paper - that fancy shit that paper stores display draped over ladders. Frame it. They are stunning and look extremely expensive but are generally less than $10.
I worked at a greeting card store in high school and bought a bunch of these to decorate my dorm room with some cheap frames from Walmart. All the rich kids at SMU just thought I was one of them. It’s the only real life hack, I’m convinced.
Also: calendars from art museums can be cut up the next year and framed. One calendar with 12 high-quality prints of good artwork is generally cheaper than one print.
These tend to be odd sizes, but framing stores and craft stores can cut you a piece of matting to put in a cheap frame that will make it look intentional. This is also extremely inexpensive to do.
My latest, with two sheets of wrapping paper and some frames the last owners of my house left behind. Total cost: $16.
In January, I’m cutting this baby up for framed pictures. (Gifted to me by the immeasurable @whitneyq)
I really love voting it turns out?

The bf and I have had no time to make the planned candy shoot tube so instead i will be marking a line that says "Stand here for candy" so the children can get candy tossed in their buckets while we wear gloves.
Children too young to catch will be invited to select an M&M packet from our garden, which will be stuck amongst the flowers (and grass in front) on popsicle sticks.
I will be dressed as a ballot, which I intend to make out of a white t-shirt i stole from my bf. Bf declines to dress in election related costuming, and will be wearing a hat that says "Boo" on it.
Hey Texas, it’s the last day of early voting. Make me proud!
I have been consciously paying attention to elections in Texas since I was 10 years old, I am now 30, and I have never seen anything like this.
One of my clearest memories is still waking up in my bunkbed on the morning after the 2000 election and asking my mom who won and her looking at me and saying “we don’t know!”
it has reached the point in time where i have no time and have now paid someone to clean my house for me, which i thought i would never do.
like you can only promise your partner you'll do the dishes or wash the sheets 100 times and fail to do that before you just feel so bad watching them do 90 percent of the house work that you pay someone to clean the house so at least you don't feel bad for a few days
All of these shots were shot in maybe a four block radius in downtown Austin and are mostly of things that always have traffic cones in front of them, or our gates that are literally always locked with the chain. Stunning.
Also, all of the protests that cause what little chaos they managed to film happened before the police in Austin had their funding affected.
As someone who lived within visible distance of police headquarters in Austin, while all of this was going on, I can tell you for a fact that I was just fine one block away.
I think my point is being willfully misunderstood - shocking for this website I know. Of course it isn’t fine or normal to wait in line for 11 hours. These are isolated issues. Let’s not represent the problem to be affecting the entire state of Georgia.
Screaming that lines are incredibly common across the state of Georgia is both false and not great for voters who might vote there. Let’s not make people think they’ll be waiting in like when 99 percent of voters today in that state waited for an extremely low amount of time.
And we certainly don’t need to be basing these assertions on a few tweets from voters. We can wait for the data, then we can actually know where problems are and what caused them. Until then, striking unnecessary panic bells helps no one.
a lot of your concern over georgia as a state might be alleviated if you just took the time to know that the *counties* select and apportion voters to polling places - not the state.
The historical long lines in Fulton are not the result of Kemp. Sure, perhaps he contributed in some small part. They are the result of the fact that Fulton County has, historically, done a bizarre job of this work.
Clearly I am still feeling spicy and have not Logged Off.
