People are really liking my mug posts so here’s a memento from my time at HBO. (The front used to say “shopping is my cardio” but I modified it.) https://queer.party/media/IganwOIzLi8x0ewZonc https://queer.party/media/zJJZe7i0MBnoqH1xcVU

I don’t think I have any other mugs worth sharing (but check the rest of this thread for some that I shared in replies to folks which might not show up in various clients, I dunno if mastodon inherited that shit behavior from twitter)

@fluffy I most of my mugs are gifts from my mom, I love them all

@fluffy I also remember throwing mugs out for places I was laid off from

@hellojed this is the only mug my mom ever gave me but holy heck am I taking care of it

(She thinks it’s Fozzy because she can’t be bothered to learn the muppets or why I would love this one) https://queer.party/media/3gSGr71Ws_aA7L0Pwaw https://queer.party/media/Eddwq1Riv6Ry9BFhn6I

@fluffy I can completely see why this would be your favorite mug!!! omg it's amazing

I am currently on a mug-buying moratorium for having too many mugs so I like to live vicariously through other people's acquisitions so thank you for sharing your photos 💛

@InspectorCaracal yeah I try not to buy more but I keep ending up with them

the one I drink out of the most is a nice glass mug with a silkscreened caffeine molecule on it, which a coworker gave me as a gift once (ironically I can't tolerate caffeine so that's the one thing that basically never goes in it)

@fluffy I have a 2D Goggles mug by Sydney Padua which says "we need coffee" and I refer to as "my coffee mug" but I exclusively use to drink tea xD

The one I usually use for coffee is a much simpler red curved-sides mug I got for a Christmas present, because I like having the smaller base for French press coffee, there's always some mud at the bottom and concentrating it into as small an area as possible means I can drink more of the coffee itself.

Also I turn cracked mugs into pen holders >.>

@InspectorCaracal that’s a good idea! I usually just throw them out.

@fluffy I can't bear to throw them awayyy I love them too much

one of them is all printed in some of the original Winnie The Pooh illustrations I could never give it up

@InspectorCaracal oh dang yeah I wouldn't want to throw that out either. I guess I've never broken a mug that I care about (and now that I say that I've jinxed it and absolutely I'll end up breaking It's Owl Good on the way to work tomorrow right?)

@fluffy nooooo I hope not

@InspectorCaracal here’s my caffeine mug as it sits right now, coated in eggnog residue. https://queer.party/media/ezuwLmsHzweJiYgEFKk

@fluffy ...actually, speaking of mugs and eggnog, I should go warm up some cider

@fluffy best modification omg

@fluffy yeah, they deliberately built in "don't see replies to people you don't follow showing up in your timeline" to mastodon

@fluffy so thank you for mentioning that or I would've missed that AMAZING ROWLF MUG
