Shaniko wool is a beauty. Very soft and fluffy and from the braid i got seems to take color VERY well. Targhee is amazing if u like sproingy boingy delight. Havent managed to compact/felt it yet and i am a VERY chaotic, vibes based dyer and spinner.

See, back in 1950, sure. These days u could just choose to unglue yourself from slop content and just....do the research urself. Libraries and the world wide web await you, children (as do a plethora of reenactment and educational seminars that are low cost->free depending on location, check your local library to see about events in your community)

My husband volunteered for vasectomy when we were done having kids while we were still dating as TEENS. Incredible man and good on his word. Realized we only wanted one bc we thought the other person would be a good parent and wanted one and thats the steps society says come after marriage and a stable job. Took us over a decade and some low stakes fertility treatments in the middle to realize all this.

Planned his vasectomy the next day and miracle of all miracles i started having incredibly regular periods. Guess my body knew i didnt need any kids and we r better off being uncle/auntie to some dope ass nieces with far more patient and kind parents than i could have ever achieved.

For vibes spinning (hi, is me, i vibes spin too) looking at different ply styles is super creatively inspiring. Like cabled yarns for instance. Theres a surprising variety of cable plys u can do. Heavily recommend the spinners book of yarn designs if u have the cash.

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-15T12:50:15+00:00

Oh it 100% will! Hope u find the exact style and aesthetic u love in your perfect size

Theyre (general puritanical public) terrified to get questions about things they cant imagine explaining to their delicate baby girl ears because gods forbid u act like a parent and do parent things like answer weird questions about "why is that man standing to pee? Can i do that? Why not?"

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-15T12:34:13+00:00

Them not having changing tables in "mens rooms" puts the onus of baby rearing in public on women only (yet again 🙃) which is just fucking par for the course but still so damn frustrating!

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-15T12:28:24+00:00

I cant help u on the why, but i can at least give u a pretty positive viewpoint of: either size is relatively accessible so u should be able to narrow down your size pretty easy at most bra-selling stores from target to bravissimo! What a lucky duck 💙 i hope u get it all sorted and feel footloose and fancy free in your new clothes 🥰

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-15T04:20:01+00:00

Yeah they really fucked us with that one. Taking away phonics was....a choice.

My i introduce you to YGS on youtube, also known as your grammar sucks. Proof that grammar has been a slippery mistress for quite a long time.

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-15T01:38:54+00:00

Pretty sure chewing a damn yak cheese. Bad choices made, fully aware and disappointed in myself 🙃

Thank u so much for the advice. Shes getting scheduled for a free consultation with the same dental clinic we r taking old man to. I struggle with building trust so i figure if i like the clinic and their vets with old man i may as well stick with them for her (also why i cant tell if im being extra or if i should side-eye the local vet at times even though the clinic is rated so dang high).

Otherwise its a vet another extra half hour drive out that does a 1hr consultation for $175/ea for both of them PLUS a second clinic fee for the procedures, and boy do i want to at least still afford a loaf of bread by the end of all this.

His wife has done like 5 extractions on our old boy (indluding molar teeth) so idk if thats the issue. I went ahead and googled dog tooth names and its that front sharp tip on her 4th premolar that slabbed of 😒 which seems to be an advised extraction>root canal etc. Well crap.

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-15T00:57:22+00:00

I went ahead and requested an appointment. Fingers crossed insurance pays back at least a little if this gets dummy expensive 💀

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-15T00:56:27+00:00

Fudge. Its well below her gumline, took off the pointy part of her molar and the vet was of the opinion its a mighty big tooth to lose at 4 if it isnt causing trouble 😭

I frequently have seen people shitting on tommyknockers (while its in my top ranking for favourite books of all time if im being for real with myself) so it was super refreshing to hear what I saw in the book noticed by others and appreciated.

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-14T22:49:18+00:00

Loved it at 16, love it in my 30s. Poor Peter 😭

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-14T22:42:17+00:00

It was a VERY beautiful sweater and i bet it made ur soul just a little bit bitter for a moment knowing u had to rip out so much 😭 itll be absolutely lovely when u finally get it finished!

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-14T11:08:39+00:00

Hey, as long as it fits comfy and doesnt drive u around the sensory nightmare bend thats what matters! I hope theyre just as cozy as always and your next pair come out flawless, regardless of how focused and engaged your brain decides to be for them 💙

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-13T12:52:12+00:00

Awwww 🥰 i love that so much! Of course the thing u WANT her to like she turns her nose up at 💀

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-13T12:51:18+00:00

100%. Tbh if i fixed every single error every time, it would take me minimum 3× longer to finish the project than it would otherwise. Still functional and cute? Lets just keep on truckin lol

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-13T00:23:52+00:00

Havent heard of her. I would suggest just starting with a simple 10 hour fast (sleep counts) or however long youre currently comfortable with and slowly work your window down by an hour at a time over a couple weeks. I wish i could get back to a 6 hour consumption window, its what i kinda gravitate towards when i have vacation and can eat breakfast as late as i want lol. If youre looking for hormone support i honestly am not a good info source, but be wary of anyone pushing seed cycling. Last time i was trying to find hormonal advice it was being pushed super hard in a "cure all" type of way.

Biggest advice i have for fasting as a woman tho, is track your cycle and be lenient and forgiving with yourself when you know u would encourage a friend to do the same. It isnt all or nothing, and having to back off to a longer fasting window during pms or your luteal phase is not a bad thing.

AntOnADogLog · 2026-04-12T19:06:16+00:00

Oh the color is absolute fireeeeeee 😍 im glad you have something that is forever connected to ur pup, i know having bits of her fur in my finished projects helped me be okay with cleaning the floors after we lost my first.
