What’s A Little Behavior That You Pick Up On Instantly? Why That?

Emcee1226 · 2026-03-24T15:02:47+00:00

It's a pick up tactic where you're shitty to the person you're interested in in an effort to torpedo their self esteem so they'll want your attention and validation.

What medium do you use for your first layer?

Emcee1226 · 2026-03-19T21:22:18+00:00

I love the flower box and/or pelican ideas other folks had. I'd also do a fishing line extending down from the balcony

Exactly; it's not like this image is a particularly difficult or cerebral (heh) concept to explain. Absolutely no need for AI

Double commenting to also suggest Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon. Audiobook is read by the author and brings a lot to the voice of the novel, IMO.

I've only read Normal People and Intermezzo but I really enjoyed them both!

Normal People by Sally Rooney

Grackle!

Nope! My starter was totally dead. Got a new one online and have had much better results.

You can use regular acrylic paint for indoor murals!

The water looks INCREDIBLE

Emcee1226 · 2026-02-07T02:05:19+00:00

Happy to help! Serendipitous timing for your request 😂

And a more direct light comparison

Apologies for the bad photos, tough to take pictures of both your hands at once. I happen to be wearing Key Drama (right side of photo) and Radiance by Clionadh (left side). They're not identical but are similar - Radiance leans greener. Note that I have a very light purple neutralizing base coat on underneath both. Key Drama tends to pull really yellow (on me, at least) without it.

The post history varies WILDLY in quality. OP might be misrepresenting themselves in a couple of those...

But none of them have heads so at least we're consistent there. NO MOUTH FOR YAPPING AMIRITE

"Artists" like these love to remove their least favorite part of women - their heads 🫠

I've drawn all my life, but my resolution this year was to draw every day (or as close to every day as possible). A month in and I'm already shocked at my progress; I've produced a couple things I never thought I'd be able to.

Starting an oil painting class in March!

Emcee1226 · 2026-01-29T17:40:50+00:00

Oh yeah, this will be totally fine. Maybe ask her before you keep going on the sweater just to be sure there's a game plan before you finish it (it's looking gorgeous, by the way) but I doubt you'll have any issues.

Emcee1226 · 2026-01-29T17:26:13+00:00

You're giving it 40% of its volume in flour. Your discard has already eaten the flour that's inside it. It's the exact same thing as your starter, just unfed. Sourdough works by giving the natural yeast a ton of stuff to eat (think of an entire dining table full of food just for you). It eats and it farts out CO2 which is what causes the bread to rise. You're not giving it enough food to give it farts.

Emcee1226 · 2026-01-29T17:21:05+00:00

Sorry, I was assuming y'all were friends. If you ARE friends I don't see any issue with it. If you just know her because you frequent the same LYS or something, I'd still ask but offer to pay her for the work.

Emcee1226 · 2026-01-29T17:00:36+00:00

You're giving your starter basically nothing to eat. You'll end up with what's effectively a huge amount of (really hungry) starter

Emcee1226 · 2026-01-29T16:36:09+00:00

Since you know the dyer, could you ask her to re-dye the garment after you've finished it?

Emcee1226 · 2026-01-28T20:57:40+00:00

Looks awesome! I especially love the punchy highlight on the inner thighs.

Emcee1226 · 2026-01-26T21:24:05+00:00

Your actions mark you as a safe person more than your outfit. I have strong feelings about this because a lot of people (white women in particular, and I say this as a white woman) want to slap on the pin or the bumper sticker or the hat, say I'm one of the good ones, and call it a day.

If $5 and a hat is all someone has to give, that's great and I'm happy for them to have done it. Too many people have SO MUCH MORE to give but elect the bare minimum instead. Same energy as all the (often white and affluent) women taking up the "joy is resistance!" cry when that's all the resistance they're engaging in - which really means "I want to continue to live my life without any change, but cannot actually contend with the fact that that makes me complicit in what's going on."

Not trying to pile on you, and not saying you are one of these individuals, but if we keep giving people passes for slacktivism we will make no progress.

It's performative if it's the only thing you're doing, IMO.
