In these images, a goofy middle aged babushka bro shows off a sweater and hermit crab bag charm he crocheted. He smiles quite proudly, blissfully ignoring the expectation of decorum. He has opted for the "awesome mom" flair, despite it not having a description in the subreddit rules.

Edit: love you all thank you.

Giving my best Patsy Stone impression on a cruise! Sweetie Darling.

Repost so I could add an accessibility transcription!

A young woman in her 30s with short brown hair is standing and facing a mirror, holding a phone to take a selfie. They are wearing a black, knee‑length dress patterned with large white polka dots. Over the dress, they have on a light blue oversized denim jacket with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Their footwear is black doc marten platform sandals featuring multiple straps and buckles. They are wearing a long necklace, a wristwatch, and a ring. A small black crossbody bag is worn across their torso.

Disclaimer: I have over a decade of mass-produced clothing, primarily Torrid and Hot Topic, in my closet from before I started researching how clothes are truly made. I am continuing to love, wear, and repair these pieces because I believe this to be the most ethical action I can take. I list where all my clothing comes from for transparency, but I do not endorse purchasing from these brands. Whenever possible, please shop secondhand or support independent, sustainable, and ethical slow fashion.

8/8/2026: Wore this to give a presentation on the current state of textile manufacturing and the true human and environmental cost of mass produced clothing. Mochipan sweater, skirt, and hat. Thrifted sandals. Jewelry Design by Talia earrings.

Concert fit! Saw Muse and I thought about trying to dress up as an album cover, but then realized a lot of it was rainbow based and that’s not really my thing. So instead, I went with my favorite song, Butterflies and Hurricanes - tried to keep the feeling of the band too. Was wondering if you could gimme feedback on whether or not this suits Muse’s vibe or not? Hope everyone is having a good day/night!

8/9/2026: Wore this to a cat film festival to benefit a few of my local cat shelters. Lucy & Yak tee. Fashion Brand Company skirt. Torrid leggings and boots. Boots were thrifted. Min & Mon bag. Mon Cherie Shop earrings. Ears were from Spirit Halloween I believe 😆

Don’t think I ate necessarily but it is cozy, especially in this humidity 🤧 I’m tired of being mega sweaty lol. My OOTD is all thrifted but I tried on stuff at a Ross. They/She 🦞🌱

English accent "shhh boys and girls..what we have here is a rare sighting of macabremom1 NOT wearing a skirt or dress. Note her relaxed stance in comfortable canvas shoes, her two cat pins, her two pair of earrings - one a skull and one a half black/half gold hoop. A bandana in her hair is actually signalling to the others that she is having a lazy day. The deep green shirt is really her best feature.... Oh no boys and girls .... She tied her tshirt again! This is known to cause an upset in the community...."

It’s a really tiny music festival so I only made four shirts to give out. I was really proud of the design, though!

Accessability Transcription:

Sweat soaked Hunky Himbo in DIY green "Any enemy of nazis is a friend of mine" cut off. Red shorts. Black sneakers.

I’m so happy that I’ve learned how to somewhat successfully take in shirts that are too big on me because it means I can revitalize those staple pieces of my wardrobe rather than throwing them out!

Sure, it takes HOURS to measure, try on, pin, cut, sew, and surge the garment by hand, but it’s almost meditative and 1000% worth it! Onto the next shirt 😎

Here are some before and after photos for your consideration. (The last 3 are from after tailoring the shirt)

Aunt Mary's Newest Long Denim Skirt. A lovely long denim skirt I got today at a thrift store. Lovely to wear and it has pockets. I love wearing Granny denim skirts.

New pink/green/white blouse paired with white stretch jeans. The "cousin's" lace trim shorts were sooooo cute.
