i zoomed today with a woman who collects vintage love letters from before 1950 and i'm listening back and apparently i said the very cheesy sentence "i love a woman who collects!" during it; but i do! and it made me wonder: what's the strangest thing you collect

i want to hear about your teacup collection, your drawer full of diner matchbooks, your secret shoebox where you keep mini tabasco bottles, your stacks of old photoplay mags, your obsession with mass-market pulp paperbacks, your compulsion to buy 1980s scrunchies

my grandmother collected anything with an angel on it (or shaped like an angel, or angel-adjacent) and then CATALOGUED each piece in a typewritten binder that she kept for 40 years
