Quietly Losing My Mind Over The Fact That Elon Musk Has Straight Up Orchestrated A Coup Of Our Executive

I love pop rocks, can I have some more [x]

Do non Brazilians/Filipinos know about Brazilippines…. Brazilians and Filipinos randomly decided that we were two sides of the same coin and have now become besties

HOW I FIXED MY TERRIBLY CRACKED PLATFORMS

If your favourite pair of platforms has cracked open as they are prone to doing DO NOT THROW THEM OUT, this is a cheaply fixable situation

These are heavily customized demonia knock-off's which are my favourite shoes bc of how comfortable yet tall they are. About a month ago the right shoe started feeling off and I later learned it's because the sole cracked all the way up to my foot. I went out dancing in them yesterday and more of the sole ripped off so I decided it's high time to fix them.

First i washed the shoe and wiped every surface i would be glueing with an alcohol wipe to get rid of oil and grime and let dry.

Then i put a thin layer of butapren all over the part of the sole that ripped away, let it slightly dry for 3 minutes and stood inside the shoe for about half an hour, without moving, to cement it together.

Then it was time to address the crack. I used rubber glue (glue for rubber, not glue made of rubber) to put one layer of glue on both sides of the crack, let it dry, and then put another bc it was a porous surface, and then i strongly pressed them together for 20 minutes.

After that time has passed I got loose staples and pressed them one by one into the crack, whilst still pressing it together. It adds to my general vibe and also fits the look. I put as many as I could physically fit on the sides and a row of crosses on the underside (might add more later if they ended up being needed). The new structure from the staples keeps the glue pressed, so I'm gonna leave them for 48 hours and do a wear test after but they feel very sturdy :))

Total time: ~1 hour

Repair cost: 8pln (1.2usd)

Replacement cost: 100pln (20usd)

Verdict: just saved 92 bucks, thank 💅

@ Dutch people can you please come take your supermarket chain back like why do I have to look at this thing

no matter how terrible my day is. i can always end my day in bed imagining fictional characters making out sloppy style and fucking raw. and that's beautiful. there's some good in this world mister frodo and it's worth fighting for

DIY Basics

-Goth DIY Tutorials Number 1 (Part 1)- Hi there, I decided to start a little DIY series! I’m not the most professional at anything lol but I’ve been doing DIY and crafts my entire life and been part of the goth subculture for 10+ years. I’ve seen a lot of baby bats and people inexperienced in crafts online saying they don’t know how to DIY thrift store clothing to be goth so I’m here to help! I believe DIY is super important to the goth subculture and should be easy and accessible, and if I can stop anyone from buying big fast fashion brands I’ve done my job.

For the first post of this series I thought I’d link some sources for people new to DIY or looking for some easy projects to do yourself (projects will be in part 2)🖤This will help you find a starting point if the idea of DIY is overwhelming.

None of these links are mine! I will be posting my own tutorials as part of this series though:)

Some of the most basic starting points for goth DIY are using fishnet tights as a top (just cut a hole in the crotch and cut off the feet), putting safety pins in everything, adding holes to clothes, and adding pins and patches. I like to make my own patches, either by free handing or stenciling, which I linked a tutorial for in this post.
