SASHA'S ALCOVE

I hate corporate memphis

Corporate Memphis is the visual equivalent of elevator music—flat, soulless, and designed to offend no one while inspiring even fewer. It's a parade of faceless noodle-limbed people holding oversized objects and pretending to have a good time in soft pastel universes. Every tech company, bank, and startup uses it because it screams we’re approachable! without saying anything real. It’s creativity boiled down to nothing—just sterile, hollow shapes for sterile, hollow brands. If I see one more oversized handshaking scene or a smiling blob riding a bike, I might lose it.

How to properly dry flowers

Drying flowers isn’t hard—it just takes some patience and a little care. First, pick flowers that are fresh and in good condition (wilting flowers don’t dry well). Trim the stems and remove any leaves you don’t want. Then, the classic way: tie the stems with string or a rubber band, and hang them upside down in a cool, dry, and dark space (like a closet). Make sure there’s good air circulation to avoid mold. Alternatively, you can press flowers in a book. Sandwich them between parchment paper or wax paper and stick them inside a heavy book for a couple of weeks. Once they’re dry, boom—you’ve got timeless decor or keepsakes.

Nightmare Fredbear vs Glamrock Freddy

Nightmare Fredbear and Glamrock Freddy are like night and day—literally. Nightmare Fredbear is pure nightmare fuel: sharp teeth, glowing eyes, and the whole I’ll-eat-your-soul vibe. He’s the stuff of dark corners and childhood trauma, representing fear and despair in every creaky step. Glamrock Freddy, on the other hand, is like if Chuck E. Cheese joined an 80s glam band. He’s vibrant, friendly, and rocking neon colors with a protective dad energy. Instead of hunting you down, he’s helping you survive a neon-soaked deathtrap mall. One’s a walking horror movie; the other’s a funky, disco-lit hero. Both are icons, but they definitely live on opposite ends of the "how terrifying is this animatronic" spectrum. Glamrock Freddy edges out just a bit because he’s got that cool buddy to hang with energy, but if you’re in the mood to be traumatized, Nightmare Fredbear’s your guy.
