Visible mending is a way to fix clothes with holes in a decorative way. Instead of trying to make the mend invisible as possible, it can be fun and creative to hi light the tears and holes with stitching that adds to the garment. I think this method is super cool to repair clothes you may really want to keep but also make more beautiful.
There are many techniques to mending clothes and here are some popular techniques that will help you save your clothes and also reduce your consumption of fast-fashon!

“This site unusable when you dont care about the new joke” that’s great honestly. I like when people here suffer over inane stuff, it’s funnier than the original joke, let’s keep it going
this is the same as when the word ‘blorbo’ went big and I found it kinda dumb and corny, but then there were people who were fucking furious about it and wrote angry posts whining about how they hated this site because they couldnt avoid seeing the word blorbo. so I felt like ok I changed my mind I hope people keep saying blorbo forever
Look, I wasn’t into eeby deeby OR the plinko horse OR blorbo. It was a rough month. But that’s the price you pay for getting fresh local memes delivered to your door within hours of having been harvested. Not everything can be in season all the time; sometimes you just gotta add some flavoring to the current meme, and know that it’ll be Cask of Amontillado season soon
Yes absolutely to everything said above, but I just also feel like this is wild and blatant erasure of Tumblr’s ability to retain and remix ancient memes from LONG before the Deep Magic was written. Ea-Nasir did NOT eat all those copper spiders to be disrespected like this.
YES, I LOVED IT SO MUCH I GIFFED IT TWICE AND NO I’M NOT SORRY. HERE. HAVE MORE GOATS. I BET YOU LOOK AS CONFUSED AS ANGEL DOES ABOUT WHY I KEEP GIVING YOU GOATS.

the most effective kill switch for my anxiety is someone else freaking out. it’s like my brain says “ok cool, as long as SOMEONE is on Freaking Out Duty, i can get to work on solving the problem” and the lack of other people to freak out for me is the worst part of living alone
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in
return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is
alchemy’s first law of Equivalent Exchange.
