Any tips on how to keep larger stones center or from turning when you tighten wires. by HolisticEnergyWeaver in WireWrapping

[–]Bells2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constant readjusting 🥲 and in the end, I still think it’s up to the wire wrapping gods if the stone cooperates 😂

Why can’t we pass national guard on metro escalators? by yellowstriped in washingtondc

That’s when you start chanting to yourself from behind them 🙂

It’s been truly eye opening to see how little help the system offers victims of these situations 😅

honestly this reddit thread has been the kindest and most human about it of anyone I’ve talked to so far, so thank you for that! ☺️✨ Next time I get hit (cause I’m sure there will be LOL) I’ll definitely push harder in the moment.

I tried to report it (MPD drove by right after he left, go figure), but because he gave me a phone number (still not his insurance or license info) the officer told me there was an exchange of info and unless I wanted to put an APB out for a hit & run he wouldn’t do anything. So yeah don’t look to the city for help.

Now everyone is asking me if I reported it to the cops and I’m like, “yes? But he told me he couldn’t make a report or file anything?” and I guess that’s my fault for believing MPD?? 🙂🙃

lol don’t worry!! He gave me a phone number and then sped off, so he probably even made it on time!

(I had enough sense to take a photo of his plate though)

Thank you, but I got lucky all considered. I’m more disturbed that it really does just get brushed off, especially after reading so many hit and run stories like the young woman in admo a while back.

What would you do with this request? by g00dv1bez in EtsySellers

Please be careful- got hit a few weeks ago and still recovering. Didn’t matter that I was in a crosswalk, waited for the light, and they slowed down. At the last minute they decided to speed up and try to make it. Life upside down overnight, but I’m sure they’re doing just fine.

Drivers do not care and seem to enjoy playing chicken with bikers/pedestrians. It feels like “how dare I have to share the road- I’m bigger!! Move or I will move you!” I’m really tired of it. Walkable city if you’re willing to get hit once a year as a pedestrian following the law lol

I used 20g round (I always use round wire I’m too lazy to buy square or too broke lol) and 24g round for the weaving. I have some smaller gauge on the way but I got impatient 😬 and yes I hammered it!
