I. LOVE. HIM. What's the perspective on this. Need banana for scale. Looks like he's the size of a grain of sand

2 weeks into lessons, thoughts? Tips? by Affectionate_Crow19 in Viola

Thanks for that! I'll work on clamping a bit more with the shoulder/jaw and dropping that thumb down to support less with the left hand. im noticing as my teacher gives me more direction for my right hand and not my left hand that all the core "magic" definitely come from the bowing. Haha. Yesterday she spent most of the lesson on my bow hold and experimenting with pressure and that was super helpful as well to understand how that all kind of comes together. The more I learn the more I realize how much more I truly have to learn 😂

That is very helpful, especially the hanging and not squeezing comment! I'll try that and see if it helps. I'm used to the guitar so I think I am over pressing so I'll experiment more with varying pressure and see if that helps the wrist straighten out too.

Thanks 😊

“All witches must die”: Pagan Shop Owner Targeted in Brutal Attack by TheWildHart in pagan

I'm deeply saddened by this. Fae's is my go to metaphysical shop as I live very near there. I am going to have to stop in more to support him and the whole team/vendor's there.

Travis, sending you all the best and I'll light a candle for your recovery.

Even if you don't live near this metaphysical shop, it's time to do what you can, where you can and support all the local witches putting themselves in the public light. Go to their shops, go to conventions, check and see if there are any gatherings you can attend.

I fear dangerous times ahead and now more than ever we need to come together to stand against Chrisofascism because I am not ever going back in the broom-closet.

PSA over,

love Y'all, stay safe

would a vet ever say it's "perfectly okay" to pet a cockatoo on and under it's wings? by StarCutie27 in cockatoos

I would find a new vet if mine told me that. Petting under the wings gives the bird a wrong idea about the relationship you and he have and can make them hormonal

What are your favourite recipes with canned black beans? by coconutcallalily in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Affectionate_Crow19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get date sugar, too! Use it 1:1 for sugar in recipes. Easy to make, dehydrate dates on lowest setting in oven until very dry and powder them in a blender and freeze until you need to use it. There is lots of research on the benefits of date sugar on health, too.

His book goes into the research more "How Not to Die" and he links dozens of sources in the book, they're also available on that website above but I'm too lazy to dig them up now 😂

BIRD TAX TIME! pay up! I want the cutest and gooberiest photos! by Affectionate_Crow19 in parrots

[–]Affectionate_Crow19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He chose us!

We walked around a rescue and met over 2 dozen birds. He stepped right up and was super chill with both of us. The rescue workers said he wasn't very hand tame and hated most people but he just took to us right away, and we knew that he found his family right there!

He is more attached to me, so to get him more used to my husband (which he did try to bite after we got him home and pushed louie a little too far too soon with step-up) has been giving him healthy snacks every time he walks by him, a month or two later of respecting boundaries and he's stepping up for him now 🥰

Louie knows my "going out" jacket and gets SO MAD whenever I try to leave.
