@Double 0 Soul most of those were my roommate’s, she is staying in that apartment… she had already decorated the whole place wall to wall when I moved in so I didn’t have much space for any of my own things, now that I have my own place again it feels a lot more comfortable, even if a bit less green!

I just moved apartments and had a guy in an 8 foot tall Silverado gawking at me as i drove to my new place with my stuff packed like this in my bed … hey at least my truck can carry more than groceries!!! edit: also as to why they’re called “mini” trucks (not my photo but i have had dozens of experiences like this, esp in the Home Depot parking lot lol) .. this is a late 90s/early 00s Toyota pickup vs a 2020s f150. Notice the bed sizes are exactly the same length!

Vintage Guatemalan embroidered shirt, Duke belt, Tender 132d jeans, beater new balances

Those are amazing Julian!

Wow, I’d love a pair of those!

^ Thanks for looking out! I have a m11026 already that I got a couple years ago, one of my favorite jackets! Whoever is reading this and can fit in the one that’s still for sale should definitely get it, it’s a beautiful and versatile jacket.

^ Wishing you luck!! I got back into climbing a couple of months ago also and almost immediately reactivated both my old hand injuries on some overhang routes. Trying to practice through it when I can but I’m still back down to only 1-2 times a week lol. Hope you are having fun climbing again!!

Hey, that’s exactly my size…. just saying 😛 that fit looks good though layered over a tee and the denim’s such a nice shade of blue! Looks really good with those jeans. Great pickup!

I’ll also note it’s been really slow for me, though I figure we probably have enough data points by now 😛

A lot of the lower engagement is due to how Instagram structures their algorithm; I don’t remember the figures but I read a piece last year about how, for the average poster, an infinitesimally small fraction of your followers are actually shown any of your new posts on their news feed. That number goes up a bit if you’re posting a ‘reel’ (basically at that point you’re on TikTok though) but either way you still have astonishingly low—like, single digit low—natural reach for any new post. So I guess I’d argue that, unless you’re shilling sponsored content or just re-posting your made-for-tiktok viral videos, instagram kind of made itself obsolete. If the goal was to share photos and writing about your life or hobby with a group of say 100 friends you’d be better off writing them all postcards, at least they’d probably get read!

Stevenson mechanic shirt, canes m41058 (I think?), flat head engineers

@scooby those are awesome!!! Excited to see how you break them in!

Just getting off work, variation on my outfit from a few days ago. 1960’s Gant shirt, Duke belt, 50’s Soviet watch, Cane’s M41150 and Lone Wolf Carpenters.

@oomslokop oh wow cool! I wanna see the black version, don’t think I’ve come across that. But yea the fabric on this shirt is beautiful, and really comfortable too (though I’m often told i am exactly the proportions of a gangly broad shouldered salaryman …)
