Follow me at @buzz instead. Thanks!
I hate to do this since I’m getting a following here, but I just set up @buzz and am planning to transition to that. Hopefully last time I will switch instances.
Logging on to Mastodon
Me setting up my own Mastodon instance.
Here is an essay on the subject by the lady behind McMansion Hell. https://www.curbed.com/2018/5/30/17390302/hgtv-fixer-upper-renovation-shows-house-hunters
My favorite is Desert Flippers, both because I love Palm Springs and because they do great work. I’ve also been enjoying Vintage Flippers, which is all in the LA area, at least partly because every single episode there is a moment when the lady makes some awful color choice and the guy is like “Ehhhhh I don’t knowwwww,” and he is always 100% correct.
Essay idea I don’t have time to write: my latest comfort TV discovery is HGTV flipper shows. I find them reassuring and soothing because you’ll see them take on, like, a former meth den with dog feces on the carpet and turn the place into a gleaming mid-century inspired space for what feels to me like a shockingly small amount of money.
Set up a monthly Patreon contribution to Mastodon development. https://www.patreon.com/mastodon
Half serious idea: one of those TinyLetter type services, but for parents mailing their adult kids.
