paintings of imaginary houses blowing away in imaginary storms are factual evidence of poor building standards. I did not know this, thank you.

Looks like a giant fluorescent finger pointing at the hole fixes it well enough as it is.

with the headline, it initially appears as though the animal you are referring to is the smiling child on the bed, and not the hideous duvet.

after doing this to your apartment, your interior designer hands you a stopwatch, so you know exactly when time expires on this all too in the moment design.

At the very least you could have gone to the owning institution and collected the following:

Frederic Edwin Church, Twilight in the Wilderness, 1860, oil on canvas, 101.6cm x 162.6cm, Cleveland Museum of Art, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Marlatt Fund

Improper citation is like bad grammar. Fix it, or your work will appear amateurish.

Please correct your citation for the second image, Twilight in the Wilderness. This painting is owned by the Cleveland Museum of Art, any usage of it should include this information in the credit line. Though you pinched the image from Artchive, they do not own it.

I found a couple of used tires and a blowjob on craigslist. I find it is better to tell a friend you are meeting someone you don't know at a hotel outside of town. That way, when they steal your wallet and drive off with your car, you have a ride home.

But really, my best find was a leather Chesterfield for $500 and a long list of vintage musical instruments I have flipped to pay for more apartment stuff. Craigs is rotten with garbage, using a separate Craigslist search helps. Or setting up alerts, so you don't have to use their interface.

And use a secondary email! There is nothing worse than being added to some jackhole's spam list because you posted some old ikea junk for sale.

pretty silly to dump all of five crates of records. a collection that small hardly takes up any space at all. I have twice that and I live in a studio. get a shelf, accessorize your collection. it's a flair item.

for a site that is so anti-clutter, you sure like a lot of stupid crap.

kind of boring. like, here's a bunch of brand new stuff. nothing has any character. even the horseshoes on the wall are brand new and shiny.
