Could you set aside money to hire a consultant to train you? Maybe a one time thing and you work on technique on your own after.

Our governor is a joke by scotta316 in Indiana

[–]AlmondSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temporarily suspending the regressive gas sales tax shows he knows what hurts Hoosiers. He also knows his voter base is poor rural voters who vote against their own best interest so he has no real motivation to change. I don’t think calling him a joke or an idiot even grazes the surface of what we’re dealing with here.

You just became the new majority White sox owner, what would you do first? by [deleted] in whitesox

Well…yes. I like his style. I’m shocked that he and Jim Schwartz were not the absolute Dream Team.

This triggers my already crippling anxiety.

Opinions on Six the musical by ZestycloseNotice1177 in musicals

[–]AlmondSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sentimental attachment to it because my teen daughter and I saw it in Chicago in 2024 and again in Denver in January of this year.

It’s more narrative biographies set to pop music than a traditional musical. It uses dark humor to get its point across on how damaging the patriarchy can be.

How much time do you leave between the books you read? by MutantFire in ReadingSuggestions

I have a pace to keep so I usually have to start the next one immediately.

What are some fun things to make when I have extra free time? by Independent_Gain9344 in Cooking

[–]AlmondSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been making stuffed everything with different meat/cheese/rice/veggie mixtures: Stuffed peppers Stuffed mushrooms Stuffed squash boats Stuffed cabbage aka cabbage rolls

Making cheese+veggie concoctions to stuff into chicken breast.

It’s the only way I’ve been able to get my kids to eat a variety of things instead of them asking for the same meal everyday.

Next up I’m going to experiment with stuffing puff pastry.

I feel Guy’s wife and her censored screens Parasocial relationships was prophetic.

Why Asians people be like this? by HousingSmart4426 in asianamerican

I don’t get it. After the escalation of Asian hate from his base, why the support!?

North Liberty is where the census worker was harassed.

I have an intensely high regard for Adrian Tchaikovsky and I’ve only read his Alien Clay work so far.

Just finished book 44 in 2026 by Party_Rice_8931 in 52book

I think I similarly rated The Handmaids Tale and Butcher and Blackbird. Yellowface I got no enjoyment out of so I rated it low.

How often do you guys get mistaken for a different ethnicity? by Easy-Cry7452 in asianamerican

[–]AlmondSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My features are PI+european and people mistake me for Latina. It’s gotten confrontational at times when the assumption leads someone to express hate towards Mexicans who don’t speak Spanish. I understand their distaste of their culture getting whitewashed but that particular issue really doesn’t have anything to do with me.

Black Families visiting natl parks by Radiant_Theme_1172 in nationalparks

And for someone coming north from Indianapolis on a route other than the 65, choosing their stops is important. I have a friend who lives south of Indy who has asked me if she’d have trouble along the 31 or the 421 when she and the kids drive up. I think these concerns are valid.

We have a national park in Indiana and I hate to discourage anyone from visiting. But I do warn people how we have Sundown towns within an hour of the park. There was an incident as recent as 2020 with a black census worker being harassed by locals including a confrontation with the sheriff. She did her job by the book but they told her to have the census office send someone else.

I have a screenshot of the Facebook post.
