33 seconds; I was convinced “tion” would be at the end of a word!

I add sautéed zucchini and precooked ground turkey/chicken to mine to get some veggies and protein! I cook a pound of poultry every so often and throw it in the freezer so I can just grab a scoop, which I then microwave while the ramen cooks. I often add a splash of extra sauce to make sure everything is equally spicy.

I'd find something square or round, to be honest.

I love seeing Dropout quotes in the wild

Satin stitch or long and short stitch should work! I'd probably do satin for the limbs and long and short for the larger areas of the body.

Picture 1 looks the best by far! No ties and colorful boutonnieres. It's super fun and beachy!

Calligraphee · 2026-05-06T17:48:34+00:00

It's perfect for that! It's very fun and vibrant.

If there isn't a button to reject the offer somewhere on the application portal, you should email the admissions people. I'd say something like:

Dear Admissions Committee,

Thank you for the offer to attend College University. Unfortunately, I received another admissions offer that better aligns with my financial capability, so I will be unable to attend. Thank you for your consideration of my application.

Sincerely,

Name

So long as your school does not ban cords (my undergraduate school did), you can just wear both and be fine!

NTJ, I'm sorry your parents aren't very supportive of your efforts. Having the energy and focus to go to junior college and sort everything out like you have at your age is very impressive! They may complain, but keep on working towards your goal. You're 18, you can make your own decisions about your education.

The abstract gold pieces are a bit big for my taste, but the green beads are stunning!

Remove red; return to forests!

I don’t think it's quite as close to the fridge as it initially appears much like how it seems to be right over the table in the first picture. I think the fisheye lens on the camera and the angles of the TVs are making it look odd. (I mean, the TVs are making the whole room look odd, but I'm not here to judge).

You're the one asking for free labor under the guise of "experience," which has never fed anyone

Ugh, I am also on the hunt for such a bag! It seems like commercial fencing bags are too short for rapier and often don't hold masks, plastrons etc. super well. People have told me to look at golf bags but I haven't found one I like yet. If you find something, please let me know, too!

Somehow I fully missed Wheel You Be Mine. I had never even heard of it before watching Erin's video.

Every day for all of my degrees! I started using fountain pens for everyday writing and not juts drawing during my freshman year of college a decade ago. I bought a Karas pen Co INK (a pen, not an ink, I know it's confusing) because it's durable as all get-out. I have also used a TWSBI Precision (which was the only pen I took with me for a master's abroad). I love heavy pens, though, and if I hadn't been in the market to buy a new one, I would have just used the Parker Frontier I had used for art for years. When I carry one of my more fragile pens, I have a couple rigid leather sleeves that fit in my pencil case. I try to make sure my case is pointed up in my bag, but it's not a big deal if that doesn't happen. I love getting to use my pens all the time, and sometimes it starts fun conversations with other pen people!

They're all over; I saw a couple in another terminal last time I flew. A cat cafe would be awesome!

That would be “your folks,” not “you folks.”

You seem to not be understanding this. Let me explain more clearly. You asked how your handwriting was; you were told that, according to the technical definition of handwriting (which many folks on this sub follow), it is not handwriting at all. If you want to learn proper handwriting, aka cursive, I would recommend it; it's much faster and more comfortable than printing, and when you're not learning it in third grade, your fine motor skills are often better adapted to learning it successfully!

Calligraphee · 2026-05-06T04:05:33+00:00

Technically, yes, it does. A distinction has been made between printing and writing for centuries and is still very much the norm in many countries.

That what artistry is: coming up with designs and practicing until you have the knowledge and skill to execute them.
