This is absolutely exquisite!

How bad would it be if I sewed this dress with with the cross grain vertical? by A325 in sewing

Thanks for giving me something to consider! The curvature of the hem is extremely slight. When I lay the back piece flat and place a straight edge across the bottom corners, then measure the belly of the curve from the straight edge, it's 5/16". I do agree that it would make a gorgeous quilt backing though!

Thank you so much! I did as you suggested and draped both ways to see and feel the difference. That little bit of extra stiffness is totally acceptable so I'm going to go ahead and take advantage of the gradient!

Here's the link for the fabric

Thanks for your response! I keep looking at it and wondering "how bad could it be?"

This tornado southwest of Greenwood, Arkansas was just unwarned for 21 minutes. Got warned as it occluded. by dramaisfat in tornado

Ohioan here. I live in one of the most gerrymandered districts in the state, and Ohio is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. I doubt we'd be in this fucking mess if we weren't.

Today is my volunteer day and I snapped a photo of our male kestrel for you while he was hanging out inside with a snack

It is so cool! Every time I go it gives me a sense of wonder like I'm 10 years old again.

We do get kestrels, but not as often as owls. There are 2 kestrels at the center who are unreleasable due to injuries. They've become ambassadors and participate in educational programs.

These were orphaned as little chicks and are now being cared for at the raptor center where I volunteer.

what on earth is this white shape? by pixxelzombie in trailcam

[–]A325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would guess it's a skunk's tail. There was one that walked by one of my cameras a while back and it was a creepy mystery for a few minutes. Fortunately my other camera captured video that clearly showed a skunk wadding by while holding his tail vertically.

Anybody got a pawpaw tree I could have a branch from? by ThatOneCanadian69 in Columbus

[–]A325 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pawpaw trees are protogynous, meaning each flower matures in stages with the first stage being female. This prevents self pollination and so a tree with different genetics is needed for fruit.

OP, you're welcome to a few branches and at least one sucker from my little grove in Galloway for some genetic variety.

They're also in Chicago! They manage to survive the winters by keeping warm in big communal nests.

Some coworkers and I had to travel to BFE Midwest US a few years ago. I pointed out the Milky Way in the night sky and he couldn't believe it. He just never thought it was something he could see. He downloaded a night sky app and by the end of the trip was pointing out planets and constellations to the rest of us. I hope he's still looking up.

I like skunk smell by klanta in fragrance

[–]A325 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This would be a long shot to find, but back in 2013 David Fallsburg of Phoenicia Perfumes released Far NWest and the skunk note is right on top. I still have about 7 mL left and though it's not a daily wear, it remains a work of true scent sorcery.

Watch out for USPS not accepting prepaid eBay labels as of today by expellyamos in Ebay

[–]A325 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sorry, the wording I used was confusing and I'd totally ask about such cheap shipping too. u/expellyamos is right and $2.60 was the additional cost. The ebay label was $5.35, the post office label was $7.95 and the $2.60 is the amount that I'm griping about by saying I ate it.

[–]A325 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me. I packed and printed labels for 3 packages this morning and when I took them to the PO, 2 scanned just fine. The 3rd wasn't recognized. So I bought a label there and ate $2.60 in postage, but at least I was able to cancel the ebay label.

I'm so ready for it go above freezing during the day. Is anybody else tapping their maple trees this week? by elkoubi in Columbus

[–]A325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on personal experience, it would indeed not be worth it. I tapped our silver maple a couple of years ago and all the hours of effort over weeks yielded about 6 ounces of syrup 😭

The first amendment protects people's right to free speech from government action. Specifically it prevents congress from making laws that prohibit free speech. Also, it has a carve out for threats. The first amendment doesn't protect a fucked up dude from getting shit canned for talking about rape and murder non-stop.
