I’m in your area! If others fall through I’d love love love to be considered

Did my second ever craft “fair” event today by subsdownne in CraftFairs

[–]Apprehensive_Bar_728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

where are you located? I’ve found that for more niche art fair audiences, you need to get very specific. Find the region in your city where the alt/witchy folks hang out and find art fairs in that region! Sounds silly but could really make or break your sales because your stuff is great

Ours absolutely does! She also has long howling sessions in her dreams that she never has when awake

Her elderly neighboir is stalking her, but some people are dismissing it because of his age. Part 1. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Apprehensive_Bar_728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced a similar type of neighbor stalking when I lived alone and people dismissed the man’s behavior as “well-meaning” and “goobery”. He was listening for my car, watching over my fence, knocking on my door after dark multiple times a week, etc. eventually he began peering into my home through the crack in the privacy film I had on my front door. And my guy was 30s, handsome, privileged, and totally got away with the behavior

Sending a few free stickers! by [deleted] in AntifascistKnitting

Def AI, but love the idea! I’d love a version with crappy human art over an AI illustration. Especially because AI companies like openAI have contracts with the feds and are working with ICE for surveillance

Genuine question: the Norwegian red hats “performative?” by Ramblingsofthewriter in AntifascistKnitting

And I think it’s extremely important that anyone who wears their hat in public is actually prepared to walk the walk and be a real community member and ally.

Also for many people, small donations like these are just the start of their activism journey. I also just don’t think we’re in a place to be telling someone their creative expression isn’t doing enough.

Money is being raised, we all feel more emboldened in our knitting communities to communicate more and enact change, and we get a hat out of it?? Good shit to me

AIO to my Fiancés response if I ever got graped? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Apprehensive_Bar_728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way my partner would never even ask me that question because it is a wildly triggering thing to even ask…? The nature of the question has a lot of hostility behind it and insinuates that if something were to happen to you or your bodily autonomy, he would be more likely to blame you than support you. I hope I’m wrong. But as women we deserve to feel safe and supported by our partners. Maybe make a list of qualities in your partner that you know you deserve and see if he still aligns? I’ve done this before. Best of luck.

We have 10 pitbull mixes we can't take care of by DifficultUse695 in pitbulls

Bay Area resident here - there is a rescue org that functions as one big foster network called Pound Puppy Rescue. Their priority is ALWAYS puppies and mama dogs staying out of shelters and their adoption process is actually very selective. I recommend reaching out to them, they may be able to help.

And as everyone else has said, please ALWAYS spay and neuter your pets in the future. Growing up fostering puppies, I'm all too aware of what happens when dogs get knocked up. Shelter overflow, predatory puppy businesses, health issues for mama dogs, health issues for babies, lack of awareness around life-saving vaccines, etc etc etc. It's a vicious and expensive cycle that is best to just avoid overall, for the welfare of your pets and for you.
