I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they’ll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here’s one for each day of the next week.
Monday
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block
Tuesday
Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks
Wednesday
Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread
Thursday
A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?
Friday
The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes
Saturday
If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully
Sunday
Luke’s duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke’s duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes

My order from Killstar came in, and I just want to say that I was incredibly disappointed. Everything looked unflattering and visably cheap, and several items were incredibly uncomfortable. I wish I had read more reviews before putting in an order. Going to return everything and use the refund for thrifting and diy supplies instead.
unsolicited suggestion
I haven’t gotten anything from Killstar, but I’ve been pretty happy with things from Disturbia. It’s not nice-nice, but it doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart after three washes.
Thrifting rocks though. My favorite things have been thrifted :)

Unfortunately, I am in the plus sizes, so Disturbia doesn’t carry anything that fits me. I might take a look at accessories later, but I think for now I’d like to focus on diy projects.
For example, I really like the look of this belt, but I could easily replicate this design at home.
EDIT: Lol, I was going to add that design to my inspo OneNote, but I had already grabbed it.
Oh dang i was looking at Disturbia, do they have no good +size options? I’ve been getting a bunch of stuff from Midnight Hour, if you like Disturbia MH has a lot of witchy/gothy stuff and they do often have +sizes, some of the recent trousers even have options for leg length. It’s in the US so i only did a big order twice and it cost me a bunch in delivery fees, but I love their style.
I used to get L in men sizes, now I need 2XL for women sizes…
Yeah, Disturbia caps out at US women’s 16/XL, so nothing in the plus range. I’ve heard good things about Midnight Hour, as well as Foxblood and Forest Ink for US stores. Really, I only tried Killstar since they had a big sale and seemed to have a lot of plus size stuff.
