Quick! Where can I get vegan Mary Janes or similar that are somewhat pretty? I am so bad at shoes save me

Chronically ill/disabled buddies: recs for travel/ maximizing health for an important event? I’m trying to cover all possible bases

Recs for chronic pain? Literally anything I’m a little bit losing my mind. Also things to make being stuck in bed less awful? Also if you have an amazing audiobook I will take that too. Basically helpppp ❤️ (but also I’m ok ily bye)

Okay buddies I need your help with two (?) wedding guest dresses. Think cocktail but also think beachy. I haven’t bought new clothes in a long time, and I’d like to avoid fast fashion. Stores u like/ vintage sites are also amazing; I just don’t have the energy for thrifting. Also the couple may or may not be on rec league so we need to play this cool

Which puzzle should I do next?? I just finished a 1000-piece Greek mythology puzzle, and I’m currently torn between a Dracula one and a Hans Christian Andersen one (I’ll reply with both), but I am open to suggestions!!!! Do puzzles give me migraines??? Maybe but who cares!!!

Things that help with anxiety????????? lol I’m fine

Not to be needy, but can you guys send me Something Nice (any category)? Chronic illness is GETTING to me. Okay ily bye

Ok so like I am bored on my school break and having the time of my life researching creatures, wondering if anyone has a creature they’d like me to do a deep (okay maybe shallow) dive on? I love to learn.

Okay so I have this theory I’ve been building for years about how in the early 2010s, every pop hit was about dying in the club. I don’t know if it was a 2012 apocalypse thing or a post-recession thing or another social force I haven’t considered. But I’m wondering if you guys can think of examples? The period I’m looking at is kinda 2008-2012. My top dying in the club song is Dynamite by Taio Cruz

Non-leather purses and wallets? I have been using a tote bag as a purse and a notebook as a wallet for like a year and it’s starting to kill my extremely chic image and also one of these days I’m gonna lose my ID and I will NOT go back to the Brooklyn DMV

Most indulgent/luxurious little treats? Food, media, otherwise? I just turned in a big paper, and this week was hell, and I need the stuff equivalent of a hug.

Tricks for focusing/ treats (food or otherwise) to make things a little nicer? I have a week to write a final paper but am having a whole migraine/brain fog situation, and I feel like I’m thinking through molasses. I understand the irony of asking this on my phone!

Herbal teas? Preferably ones that can placebo me into thinking I’m taking some sort of potion? I know this is poor timing seasonally speaking.

tips for dealing with ants? they’re coming out of my walls and I’m scared

Best accessories for chronic pain/chronic illness? Ie sleep masks, heating pads, body pillows, comfy clothes? I spend so much time in bed, and I wanna at least be chic about it!
