ZOMG YAY WACKY HINDU GODS LOL



I am just gonna post this picture whenever my life feels too fucking ridiculous to handle. Because nothing is more ridiculous than this picture.

Dear friends, as if it wasn't stressful enough that I'm covering for two people at work right now plus being directly supervised by the office bully, the wee sister and I are heading off to a Family Reunion for the weekend. This would be fine if it were Paternal Family, who are all very dark and warm and jolly and love each other. Unfortunately, it is Maternal Family, who all put on airs and talk about how wonderful they are and carry grudges until death. They're like Lucille Bluth and Emily Gilmore but without the fun and compassion.

... Okay, not *all* of them are like this, but there's a distinct meanness to them that I'm not looking forward to.

PLUS we will be in rural panhandle Texas, in a little dry town (a DRY TOWN! And us, West Indians!! This WILL NOT DO) in what I assume will be sweltering heat.

WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS

I am assuming that we can bring booze into the town, we just can't buy it there?!? Because if I'm wrong, I will be SECRETING FLASKS OF RUM ALL OVER MY PERSON before I enter.

It's too bad Regretsy seemed to be run by nasty trollish types, because that was the closest thing I've seen to taking the piss out of the more awful Etsy types!

I highly recommend many flasks! :O Also empty perfume bottles and those little keychain pill holders. :D

Oh my god, a non-obnoxious Etsy Calling Out site would be amazing. So many times I've started posts about some horrible racism on the forums (paraphrase, "I'm not racist, I'd say the exact same thing about a shop started by white people in Asia!") or even just the rampant bizarre paranoia there, but didn't have the eloquence to go beyond "SHUT UP NOOOW!" I wish there were a note feature for sellers on Etsy so I could know who to never buy from based on their behavior in the forums. :(

Sorry for the rage spew. I have a lot of feelings about Etsy, apparently. :(

That would be like an Etsy Public Service, for sure. Thank goodness I've never visited any of the forums!!

Yeah, I used to really like Regretsy at first, but I had to drop them when the owner and all the commenters had some big ablist fuck-up (I think they were told the word retarded was uncool and so then they made a point to say it over and over and top each other with how much more insulting they could be. I forget the details, but I just remember being aghast).
