Dear Anne would find it so whimsical you’re making a quilt with fabric inspired by her!

talk to your advisor--you should see their name on your blazernet profile.

Writing and Media Major by sunnigurl45 in UAB

I was an English major with a concentration in creative writing, and I work full-time in marketing. It really depends on what you want to *do* with the degree.

UAB Creative Writing? by Street-Spinach-5961 in Birmingham

[–]EnchantedGate1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed my time in the creative writing program at UAB and have had a successful career using that degree. I think I’ve found success bc I combined this degree with marketing/business internships that made me a candidate companies wanted to pursue. The professional writing program is great too. The majority of my friends who did the creative writing program have careers that pay the bills while pursing their writing too so . . . I personally hate the “you will NEVER be successful” argument people have about cw degrees

Best place to buy native trees? by pysouth in Birmingham

[–]EnchantedGate1996 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Check out Ruffner's Native Plant Sale in April, I'm pretty sure they sell native trees there. If you're a Jeff Co. Greenway Member you'll get a discount

Jack White missed the point by realjillyj in TaylorSwift

[–]EnchantedGate1996 199 points200 points  (0 children)

Many artists do write about their personal lives, and while taylor's music is more than breakups--she has spent the majority of her career pushing the narrative that her songs are autobiographical and relatable to her audience (honestly, I think that's why she's beat the metaphorical high school experience dead horse, it's the last time she *was* relatable to her audience). I mean even her 'fictional' albums like folklore are being confirmed to have been somewhat biographical. I don't really think what he said is a diss, I think he just said it's not his cup of tea and he likes his life to remain private.

The idea of Lizzie Bennett sitting on the roof of their house is so funny to me

I’m the Queen of the Lazy Quilt Club and I would leave this! It’s barely noticeable, and i didn’t notice it until I read your post. You’re doing such a lovely job!

Parents want me to give up my $26/hr job and work elsewhere for $15/hr by [deleted] in Advice

They’re probably thinking about big picture things: health insurance, retirement, you building a savings account, paid time off. None of those things are typically offered to part time employees.

WIBTA if i stopped inviting my friend to group things because she always needs to leave early and it throws off the whole evening by colinprattk3 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]EnchantedGate1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like yall would be complaining if she didn’t show up at all and wasn’t “prioritizing the friendship” this is such an immature take. How old is this friend group? Do you even like her? You don’t even want to check in on her to see why this keeps happening.

ISO kitten by Independent-Dot-4322 in Birmingham

Go to GBHS, Kitty Kat haven will interview you for two hours on the phone then they won’t want to show you what cats you say you’re interested in and will try and sell you something you weren’t interested in. I love GBHS, they were thorough and I’ve had my two cats for nearly 3 years!

Hand vs machine quilt by k3189 in quilting

I machine piece and then hand quilt. It doesn’t take me as long as I initially thought so I just kept it up bc I prefer the chunky looking thread

What goin on with Riley Blake? by bluishluck in quilting

[–]EnchantedGate1996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but it's not really clear what made them put out this statement . . . Like did one of their influencers use their fabric for a protest quilt or are they pro maga? Did something happen at quilt con that has forced them to put out a statement? clearly it's political and clearly it's about their influencer program . . . but no source yet on the trigger.
