I don’t know what’s in the air in Brazil that makes Brazilian people genuinely batshit. We’re just built different
I don’t know how to explain to gringos the concept of gambiarra without making it sound like the entire country of Brazil is set to creative mode
Please try anyways, bestie ❤
So gambiarra is the art of finding solutions with what you have. The art of improv. Not always the best solution, but the solution you’re capable of. I’ll get some examples
These are some amazing Brazilian gambiarras
Are these the best solutions? Probably not. But the important part is that the problem is solved
The sandal phone holder is genius
Boss boss: yeah theres a trail on the west side that has a picnic table that we’re supposed to service but I don’t think anyone knows where it is.
Me: do you… approximately where?
Boss boss: I know the trailhead is somewhere between Ash park and Oakland lake.
Me, aggressively search for trailheads in that area, goes down a random trail:
I did not find the picnic table.
Let’s try this again!
I did not find the picnic table.
Okay let’s try again.
The bike path is only like 2 miles, why is this so hard??????
No… frickin way.
I found the trail.
This trail was not here before the electric division came through to service the lines.
Fucking… he was not kidding when he said it was a hike.
I found the benches!!!!
O-H-I-O! (Gonna tell the flower shop i found a stash of buckeyes for the football season.)
I dub thee… brokeass bridge.
This platform is where a picnic table could be but for obvious reasons is not.
Like stepping onto a crossroads.
The fuckign… picnic table???? Can’t wait to tell boss boss.
Anyways, thanks for coming with me on this adventure!

got invited to a friends birthday. he’s got an october birthday so it’s costume obv but uh
it’s called clownclave
i got 5 days to come up with an interesting clownfit
any ideas?? thoughts???
OOPS ONE DAY BEFORE THE EVENT I SPENT THE LAST HOUR OR SO MAKING A HAT FROM DOLLARSTORE ITEMS
im so tired already lol
okay basic accessories cleared! puffball flats, gloves with puffball hair ties as bracelets, and a frilly black choker i’ve livened up with some ribboning
LIGHTING IN HERE IS BAD BUT I AM DONE I CAN REST FOR THE DAY
i’ll wing the make up tomorrow, but what do we think?
the reason i chose this aesthetic is because i already owned the flats, poofy skirt/petticoat, the gloves, the funky lacy top and floofy lace collar, so i just had to layer everything on top
it now occurs to me that I dont know how to do makeup but it is too late now!!
im not big into kpop demon hunters like i thought it was a cute and well made movie and i enjoyed it but i have to say watching golden climb its way back up through the spotify top 10 vs. the flood of taylor swift slop album songs is killing me. go girls save the honmoon
i’m gonna say something that doesn’t feel good but you might need to hear it: bending over backwards being a people-pleaser, being conflict averse and not telling anyone your needs, and then being resentful and upset when your needs aren’t met is a You problem first
not related but also just good advice: when you’re lowkey frustrated with someone and can’t quite figure out why their behavior is bothering you, i highly recommend examining if they have broken an imaginary rule or standard that you hold yourself to
Took a risk and it paid off
This is the face of someone who knows this doesn’t always work.
Ugh, I got a bot response that misunderstood me. I’ll reply with clarification to-
Excuse me???
ARE YOU PAYWALLING TECH SUPPORT???
just learned americans have different standard paper sizes than everyone else. what do you MEAN you don’t have A4 as the standard. what do you mean your standard paper size isn’t even the same size as an A4. apparently it’s like. ’letter’ and ’legal’ and whatever else. help!!!
this is so scary
That has to be false. That’s misinformation hold on

absolutely IMPECCABLE comedic timing here
