Swiss army knife, with keychains attached to it. Assorted keys, for my apartment, my mom’s house, my bike, and my classroom. A clean handkerchief. My phone. An old floppy-disk case which I’ve repurposed for carrying small things: A book of matches, a couple of band-aids, a few toothpicks, etc. My wallet (containing assorted bills, coins, and cards). A Leatherman (actually in a belt pouch, but close enough). A safety pin. A thumb drive. A black pen. A red pen. A 15-function utility pen. A pencil. Assorted bits of lint. If you’d asked 15 minutes ago, I’d also have had a hall pass and its holder on my belt. ---

> [@kayT](#): > > I don’t buy pants with no pockets. Hell, I don’t even buy PAJAMAS with no pockets. I have allergies. There’s kleenex in every pocket, all the time. Wish you’d been around this weekend when I was at goodwill looking for a frog suit (long story). Goodwill worker 1: where do these go? They’re too flimsy for workout shorts Goodwill worker 2: pajamas GW1: but they have pockets. Pajamas don’t have pockets. GW2: pajamas GW1: pajamas don’t have pockets Me: ALL my pajamas have pockets GW1: NONE of mine do Decided NOT to engage with “well, you must buy crappy pjs then cause who wouldn’t have pjs with pockets” and went about my frog shopping. But, yeah, all my pjs have pockets. All my pants have pockets, but I mostly wear jeans. Thank god for casual MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFriday! ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > ETA: probably not a wise joke to make Unless they are ‘hot pants’ wearers. Hmmm? ETA if I ever saw any, I don’t think they had pockets either, maybe if they were daisy dukes.
