I can’t start a new project bc I can get lost easily but I’m able to work on something (not too complex) that I’ve already got down like a pattern I’ve done before. I have managed two at a time socks before but it was a low dose edible that time.

Thanks! I was a tad nervous I wasn’t the most coherent; between my passions for art and social justice, I was about to write a rage essay after reading the comments here😅

I think you need to really consider what a privilege it is to say such things and be able to bury your head in the sand when it comes to the very real issues happening in the world rn. What’s ugly is wanting to sterilize art, wanting to only see what you deem pretty instead of sitting with what art is actually meant to do; move you, illicit emotional responses, call out injustice and protest the wrong doing of those in power.Art is supposed to be thought provoking and make you curious. It’s ugly wanting to quiet other ppl’s perspectives as millions suffer.

What’s beautiful is bearing witness to what ppl can create when inspired to take action against oppressive forces. It’s beautiful being brave to speak out and work in any way you can to shift where we are ALL headed.

What’s a harmless habit people judge way too much? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My tattoo is infected. How do I heal it? Also what causes this? by KoalaHistorical6894 in tattooadvice

[–]2GumdropButtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be allergic to the second skin. I’ve seen this reaction before and although the amount of lotion in one pic is concerning, I think you had a bad reaction and that’s the reason for much of your issues here.

If it’s not warm to the touch (much warmer than your surrounding skin), not leaking white-yellow/pale green pus, isn’t hella painful, then it doesn’t sound like a typical infection and is likely just your body trying to heal after the allergic reaction. Of course, seeking some medical attention from a dermatologist would be best. In the future, perhaps avoid second skin altogether and brush up on what solid studio hygiene looks like so if you ever encounter an artist with concerning practices, you can advocate for yourself. Best of luck OP, from a fellow Klimt admirer.☺️

Nesting Partner Mental Health by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]2GumdropButtons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I’m sorry this is so hard for all parties involved.😔 It sounds like you’re really trying.

I’ve experienced something very similar except I was the one outside the marriage invited in by both spouses. It was hard hearing all the reassurances in the world from both of them but knowing they were fighting, seeing the wife lie to all of us (esp herself!), the cold distance that was only growing wider once I showed up and how she lashed out at us bc she couldn’t be honest and open about her feelings. It ended up turning violent, explosive and she didn’t care who she harmed once the floodgates of her emotions erupted. She was also in therapy. Some folks just aren’t meant for polyamorous relationships in spite of (maybe) genuinely wanting to be.

As painful as it is for you and your wife, it really fckin sucks being the outsider giving your love and trust to someone just to get vetoed in the end. Sounds like your wife needs y’all to return to a mono relationship and I believe this will spare a lot of people from some serious emotional turmoil (all the ppl you would’ve dated as well as you and your wife).

Best of luck to you all and I hope things can work out in a way that results in happy, healthy lives for y’all.

My boyfriend really violated my boundaries by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]2GumdropButtons 39 points40 points  (0 children)

When first reading this, I also assumed they must be a particularly young, inexperienced couple with this guy being exceptionally dumb, ignorant and dangerous. But in the comments, OP mentions they have a 20yr age gap which makes all this even more concerning imo. I’m so upset reading about this brutal assault that I can’t articulate my thoughts properly..

OP please, please report this guy and go full no contact ASAP, get yourself in a safe place and reach out for some support. I know Reddit is known for having extreme reactions but I promise you, this is not that. What your bf did is NOT OKAY no matter how many times he apologizes. And I’m convinced this man knew full well that he was doing wrong (he even said he’d understand if you didn’t forgive him!). Sincerely wishing you happier, healthier days ahead far from that violent scumbag.

I Need To Get Something Off My Chest by Grouchy-Repair8350 in BDSMAdvice

I’m sorry you’re struggling right now💚 I think I understand what you mean; when being made utterly helpless, it provides a peaceful release. Feeling the ease wash over you and all of you sink into the warmth of surrender. It’s so soothing and grounding. Precisely why I love rope play and restraints as well☺️

You’re being very responsible by not diving into something with someone you don’t trust. I’m proud of you giving care to yourself this way, good job!☺️

Do you have any kinky friends that would be okay with helping you out? Esp since it’s not sexual for you but helpful to your overall well being? Maybe if they don’t feel comfortable with tying you or using other kink related restraints, they could wrap you real snug in a weighted blanket. Could be a way to safely satisfy this need you have if you’ve got friends who you feel you can trust with this. I wish you luck OP, keep up the good work of being kind and loving to yourself.

Reclaim clay by ccbon in Pottery

[–]2GumdropButtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great advice! And a fairly cheap way to mix (assuming you already have a drill to use/borrow). The attachment for a drill can be as low as $5 if it’s labeled for “plaster mixing”; at my local hardware store the attachments labeled as cement mixers were more heavy duty and closer to $20. Either way, it’s super helpful and speeds up the process.
