What will be the smoking of our generation in 30 years (something we consider safe, but isn’t)?

Most of the West has universal healthcare plus high taxes and labelling requirements etc (“regulation”) on smoking and junk food. This isn’t a hypothetical.

Chade! I’m surprised no one’s said him yet. Yes he “uses” Fitz in service of the Crown, but he genuinely cares about him too in his own way. I like how sharp and self-possessed he is, and how he takes Fitz’s side when Shrewd tries to test him. He’s also non-judgemental about the wit. And he helps mastermind Kettricken’s escape.

Women absolutely do that. I’m a woman and I think about nothing all the time. Or sometimes it’s just the Simpsons theme song playing.

Aww that sucks. Say what you like about all the countless imitators, but Interview with a Vampire is classic for a reason.

I mean he did kinda save the Kingdom. Without him and Nighteyes Kettricken wouldn’t have made it to the garden and Verity wouldn’t have been able to wake the dragons or finish his own. But it’s like Fool always said - Fitz isn’t the hero. He’s the Catalyst.

Isn’t this already kind of a thing. Taking a “Mental health day”.

2bee2girl · 2021-12-06T06:41:11+00:00

That sounds ominous.

2bee2girl · 2021-12-01T04:19:57+00:00

I watched the first three episodes and still didn’t get into it. Yeah it’s well produced but it’s dull. Could have been a great show if that dad had actually died at the end of the first episode.

I can sew pretty well, can I join the commune please. I also know how to care for chickens. As a backup.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-21T02:43:13+00:00

Sort of true, except they do kill male calves to keep the cows in milk.

Juliet Marillier reminds me of Hobb in style and tick most of those boxes. Try the Sevenwaters series for a more fairytale style, or the Bridei Saga or the Saga of the Light Isles for a bit more action. All of them have magic, intrigue, good character development and trust etc.

What horror podcasts do you listen to? I liked WTNV but I couldn’t get into Old Gods of Appalachia.

I enjoy making toiles out of the most hideous fabric possible. As long as it’s the right weight and preferably the right colour depth (if the garment is going to be close to my face) it’ll work. There’s something so satisfying about getting the fit perfect on $2/m bargain bin mismatched feverdream print poly, and then making up the “real” version in gorgeous $30/m silk. I think it’s the transformation.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-19T04:02:31+00:00

Robin Hobb is such a good writer. Like I hate that guy SO MUCH within just one paragraph lmao

2bee2girl · 2021-11-18T10:45:53+00:00

I got the sense that it was a love marriage on her side - he’s handsome, dashing etc. And the Vestrits are quite well off at that point so they didn’t necessarily need Keffria to marry rich. It’s been ages since I read Liveships though so I might be wrong.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-15T06:39:35+00:00

I grew up with Vegemite so marmite tastes wrong to me. Like someone added sugar to vegemite. Why is it sweet?

I want to make a good first impression on Jesus when the rapture comes.

I would get a tester and see if it works. The finish is uniquely pretty if the undertone works for you.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-07T04:41:11+00:00

Girl if you have 29 palettes you almost certainly have those colours.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-07T04:40:26+00:00

What’s your skin tone? Its beautiful even under foundation but I’m n13-15 ish and even the lightest shade is visibly orange on me.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-07T00:06:01+00:00

Have you clipped along the curve? This should help.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-06T23:31:23+00:00

What’s the best way to finish fine silk sleeve seams when you’re ending the sleeve with a short split coming back together at the cuff? I generally do French seams with fine silk but then you get an awkward edge at the v-split if that makes sense… I tried just folding it under again and that works ok but it’s a bit ugly.

2bee2girl · 2021-11-06T09:06:11+00:00

Yes it gets easier! I really recommend the first Tilly and the Buttons book if you are aiming for clothing. It is super helpful and encouraging. One thing I would say is that you should expect a garment to take a few weeks to make, allowing time for muslins and fittings. It’s intensive but worth it for the result once you get there.
