My mom likes to do assorted crafts, so we have a few painted adornments, even a 3D painting of sorts she made using some specialized putty and acrylic paint. It looks real nice, I should upload a picture of it later.
Check your local library to see if they have a large format photo printer, it’s often cheaper than you’d pay elsewhere. Then, print a poster sized portrait of Alfonso Ribeiro to hang up.
Fruit of stupidity. The town once had two libraries, overflowing with really old books. From what I’ve heard I’d risk many would be more than a century old or even older.
Then this hotshot librarian came to direct the librarian. Being an “author” he expunged the library of anything he deemed unworthy to be read or occupying shelf space, with a rage boner, as the two library buildings were condensed into one, with less than one tenth of the available area for book storage and display.
What was once a treasure chest for readers became a poor excuse for a reading room for newspapers.
I once tried to suggest moving towards ebooks, considering almost every person carries a decent ereader in their pocket nowadays and it was almost like uttering heresy.
I work in a library, and I’m sad to say this sort of thing has been going around for a while… Our board (a bunch of ghoulish rich retired business men) wants us to call people “customers” instead of “patrons”, and is looking for ways to charge them money.
It won’t happen here, as the library is funded by the city, but I have lived where one of the biggest libraries in the country sits and you could take a book for free and read it in three or five days (can’t recall the exact time) or choose to pay a few cents to request the book for a little longer, never exceeding two weeks.
That money was enough to get new works, replace overused copies, etc.
A library for profit already exists: we call it a book store.
Absolutely nothing. Except for a small shelf that’s technically nailed to the wall but it’s painted in the same white as the wall so I’m not sure it counts.
I’ve got art from local artists mostly, some of it is commissioned like my Sasquatch smoking a joint. I also have a fuck load of plants on shelves and I have a tremendous affinity for accent walls.
I have a signed photos of Patrick Stewart and William Shatner. Nothing else lol, the rest of my walls are essentially bare. But, I’ve never been one for wall decor (somewhat of a minimalist), and the few items that are up weren’t chosen by me.
It’s always a fun conversation when I’m initially dating someone as to why those are up. Unfortunately, getting people you’re dating to watch Star Trek is harder than you would think. 🤣
I didn’t realize until my mid 20s that having a house without pictures and wall hanging is weird. It was also when I learned that if you don’t have enough lighting it makes a home feel like a mausoleum.
The answer as to what a person should put on their walls depends on how based a person is or how much they don’t care about what others think.
If you want to get non-traditional with it, hang up movie posters, collages, video game posters, etc. Whatever you like and like to look at.
If you go traditional and normal, then art is a fantastic idea. Go to your local thrift store and find old art that they have. Local estate sales are also good.
Personally, I love to commission a painting or two from the artist themselves. Etsy and fiverr painters love to make custom art of whatever you want if you have the money. You’re looking at spending anywhere from $10 to a few hundred depending on the size you want.
‘Based’ means that you are very proud of what you have done and what you are doing and that you don’t care what anyone else thinks.
It’s like if IDGAF (I don’t give a fuck) was an adjective.
I used to not like to learn these ‘new’ terms myself, but this one is an objectively positive to the human language.
I don’t see the point of denying the growth of a language in my lifetime just because I become older. I hated it when my parents did it, and they hated when their parents did it… so I’m breaking the cycle
