   @Musicappreciator7 it's sooo pretty.

   I would never normally buy something this expensive just because it's pretty

   (Well, apart from stray kids merch, um.)

   I guess I cared more about having it done just right, because of how much I loved the design.

   Buying the expensive paper felt worth it, as a special treat for myself.

   In hindsight, it was a mistake to try to save money on the installation.

   If nothing else, that's a useful lesson for me.

   @lnxw37j1 I probably notice it more than I should. 😅

   I think though for most non-native speakers, my accent is easier to understand than many native accents, so I keep that in mind when criticizing myself.

   In terms of accent privilege and social status and how that affects your career, I work in a company full of French English, Cantonese English and Indian English, and in that context my accent puts me close to full colonizer status.

   @feld Not a fan of the Cronenberg-ass "what am I looking at? is that gore? I can't even tell” aesthetic, I guess. Can't win 'um all. But hey, it's an identity that I created for myself by myself.

   In any event, thanks for the chuckle!
