Last night I was trying to explain that in the 1990s, the pre-Internet tradwife influencer movement was exactly the same but spread through self-pubbed printed + mailed magazines and a friend dubbed them “tradzines,” which is so perfect. (If you ever got Gentle Spirit or HopeChest, you know.)

I've been emptying my hopechest, sorting through things, donating some, giving things to the kids. I found my high school book bag -- Sasson brand jeans, in its full 80s acid wash glory. Giving to one of the art kids in the house.

This is some of my china. My parents bought it for me piece by piece from our small town grocery store, and it’s one of my favorite things. Mom told me to pick from the two patterns offered, I’ve never regretted picking this one. #china #hopechest #photography #favoritethings #gift

Pride became a giant marketing strategy for corporations, and all the freak flags got bumped to the back. Glad the corps are leaving.
Fuck big money. We just need us and a few motorcycles and twirling batons.
Here's my Pride Parade poem from 2019, first published in Freeman's Journal.

Well, that "hope chest of money" that Mayor Cooper was counting on to fund the stadium is sitting at the end of the rainbow, so good luck with that.
![What I hope my successor wrestles with mostly is thefi nancial benefi t of this and how to spend those [tax]dollars. I feel like I’m handing off a really signifi cant hopechest of money … that was created because we had thenerve to take a valueless set of parking lots and turn itinto very valuable land.
The East Bank is a prototype of how you can show upwith a vision before anything happens and then makethat work out, hopefully at very little or no cost. The goalis no cost to current taxpayers. The increased tax baseitself ends up building out the improvements there thateverybody can benefi t from.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:z4r2ghnddemx7tl5jgkvzu2p/bafkreievix54tjadgx5k2e36gbeawelo2j3oshf5hszb45dp5qbjkxweam)
