I don't have any pics, but I'll link you this list of artists using recycled materials, and you'll have a good time if you Google that phrase.

I do shipping fulfillment for my brother's business and at least 60% of the boxes I use are just reused from stuff getting mailed to us. I reuse all kind of stuff for packing material, especially xmas/birthday wrapping paper.

Colorful paper packaging can be good for collage art.

Wish I could. I don't wear makeup.

Aw c'mon, you wouldn't download a shitposter would you?

Pshh. Name one.

This would not work for my figure (fat apple) at all. I don't think anything could salvage it for me.

Literally any animal I see, wild or pet. Even just thinking about my dog.

Really sweet juicy fruit.

An array of rainbow colors, like at an arts and crafts store.

Wow this is the exact opposite of my experience. Also my mom just got officially diagnosed adhd and the whole reason she wanted to get seen was for food addiction. I guess it's all about extremes.

Also keeps the bugs out. Nothing like waking up to find a beetle floating in your glass.

I don't have the patience to make the crust look that beautiful.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story.

Captain America - the embodiment of America being the world's police force

This is the exact opposite of Captain America. He defies the government when they try to tell him what to do rather than use his own moral judgment. There were two entire movies about it.

Spiderman, meanwhile, is a street level hero who sticks up for the poor people that cops couldn't give less of a shit about.

It seems like you're making assumptions based on the notion that if corporations allow it to get made, the story must support them somehow. Rather than that corporations don't care about the story because it lines their pockets in the short term, and they know no one's going to do anything about it anyway.

I do pants for a week, but shirts are one day per use thanks to sweat.

Thanks, I sometimes worry my range is too wide.

Every man I've ever lived with has been a slob. They say you should just stop doing chores and let your partner get upset when things don't get done - that only works if you have a partner who isn't perfectly content to live in a slimy dumpster. One thought I was a germaphobe because I once watched him drop chicken on the floor and throw it back into the pot of already cooked food and wasn't OK with it.

I live with my mom now and we have a similar comfort level when it comes to tidiness and sanitation. We keep things generally picked up and take care of the truly important things like dishes and toilets, but neither of us enjoys cleaning so we're both willing to put up with a lot of dustiness and unvacuumed carpets. We share work pretty evenly.

Know your body measurements, but also the measurements of your clothing. For example, I have a 47.5" waist. So I assumed that a pair of pants laid flat with a waist measuring 23-24" would fit. Not so. When I measure the waist of the pants that fit me best, it's 21".

If the store you want to try is pricy, maybe you can find some of their items secondhand on places like poshmark or thredup to start. You still can't return, but at least you're not spending as much to figure out their sizing.

You're doing great!

I sometimes like to know the general area someone's from (country or state), so I understand the context of their experience or point of view. It's not anything I would push if the person felt uncomfortable sharing. That sounds like a red flag.

I was doing physical therapy for back pain, and the therapist noted that I had pelvic floor disfunction. I needed to get approval from an obgyn for them to do an internal exam. I was new in town, so this was my first visit to the obgyn.

I'm there in a paper gown, sitting on the edge of one of those stupid beds, while doctor goes on an endless lecture about how the uterus works, most of which I already know, none of which is relevant to my visit. I interrupted: "I'm going to stop you there. Are we going to be doing an exam, or can we finish this conversation elsewhere, because my back hurts."

He looks surprised. "Oh. Maybe you do have back pain."

Thankfully, my most recent visit with him went well, and his explanations were relevant and welcome.
