I have been a huge fan of Marie Kondo since her book first launched. And trust me, I binge watched her new show in an evening. However I often see people talk about how they couldn’t do it because they aren’t fans of minimalism (even my own sister said that) which blows my mind because I am far from a minimalist!
Here’s where I feel a lot of people get her ideas wrong. Because it’s not about throwing out everything and embracing a minimalist life style. It’s about only keeping things you enjoy. If having a bookcase full of books you love sparks joy great! A stack of magazines in a box in your basement isn’t doing the same for you. Keeping a dozen ugly oversized t-shirts isn’t bring joy to your life, they should go. Loving funky printed socks and having a drawer full on the other hand might spark joy in you so keep those.
This is why I actually recommend people read her second book “Spark Joy” before actually reading her first book. She breaks down the idea behind keeping only things that spark joy, and even explains what she means by that. I often see people ask “how can a can opener bring joy? Or a toilet plunger? How about my recycling can??” and as she explains it, you are thankful to have these things when needed, so indeed they spark joy.
Konmari isn’t about tossing over everything and living minimalistic, it’s about making sure you surround yourself with things you love so you can care more deeply (and in turn take care of them) it’s about being aware of what we have in our homes, and maybe becoming more aware of what we bring into them. It’s about envisioning the home you want and working positively towards that goal. If for you it is a simple and sparse home wonderful, but if not konmari is still for you. 😊
Hey remember when JKR said the sk*nwalker wasn’t actually a horrible monster and was just native Americans being dumb and not understanding wizard shit
Remember when she deadass said that for real and thought that was fine
Also remember when she thought there were just random ancient castles in North America like how there are in europe. Do you remember
She was like “the American wizard school goopygloop is in an ancient castle in North America”. First of all who built that shit. The pilgrims? My guy jebadiah who has 9 children dying of dissentary like oh yeah I’m gonna build a fully functional Scottish castle right here in the middle of Roanoak. That’s a good use of my time and resources.

Chinese Kids Are Getting Their Parents, Their Parents’ Parents, And Their Parents’ Parents’ Parents Involved In A Meme
There’s a new meme in China, and it’s very wholesome.
The challenge, called “four generations,” includes four generations of family members making an appearance, from youngest to oldest.
A son would call his dad, who then calls his dad, who then calls his dad.
And a daughter would call her mom, who calls her mom, who calls her mom.
The results are super cute.
The videos are being shared on video app Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, under the challenge name, “Four generations under one roof.”
