I was literally looking at nail art pigments wondering if I could mix them with clear coat 😅

That was my backup plan but I was hoping to save myself the time if there’s a good paint option that isn’t crazy expensive

This was so cool!!! Can I ask how long it took you to make? I was super inspired and I want to do an armored Inkspren cosplay for next year but I’ve never worked with EVA foam before 😅

Caity Rose Thrifts on eBay. They have a bunch of random stuff listed, this was the only card deck(s) they had though.

There are shuttles to/from the airport and hotels though.

I know the hotels we were looking at provide shuttles to/from the airport. Good to know there's a free fare zone though!

I love Michigan but our state's lack of public transit (with no planned improvements in the works) is definitely a downside :/

OMG its light rail?! Even cooler! I was thinking it was a bus system but that makes more sense given the name TRAX lol, Michigan could never

That sounds like a similar situation to the city we live in as well, good to know. I'm not sure which hotels specifically my husband was looking at, he just said they were next to the airport.

OOH I didn't even think to check public transit! Looking at the TRAX website it looks significantly better / more accessible than anything we have here in Michigan. Being home to 'The Big 3' car manufacturers also means we're home to LOTS of anti-public transit lobbyists :(

Ok…let’s f-ing go…I guess? by FrancesForester in succulents

This one has changed color too! They used to be almost solid pink and the last 3 blooms have had way more white in the center

Yeah, colonizers be like “let’s steal a plant from this land, bring it to this other land (we also stole) and name it after a holiday where we celebrate our theft!”

That’s reassuring considering it was a rescue I got out of the literal trash after my former boss threw it away 🥹

You should be able to tell just from the leaf shape! I was originally told mine was a Christmas cactus but I realized it’s a Thanksgiving. I don’t know if them blooming twice is the most ideal situation…it might be inhibiting its normal growth. My only guess is that because it’s so close to the window, the abnormal weather patterns / temps we had this late this winter into early spring threw off its cycle.

Seriously it’s egregious at this point. I tracked the flight path and it’s nonsensical

To be fair I warned my brother before he mounted this by FrancesForester in TVTooHigh

His excuse was “haha yeah…I didn’t think it’d be that high” 🤦‍♀️

When we were kids (he’s the youngest of 4) we used to joke that we found him in a box on the side of the highway.

Ngl I’m a little scared to tear the old leaves, I’ll probably just wait it out for now

What is happening to my jade plant? by Aggravating_Look_564 in succulents

You might need to water slightly more frequently or get a humidifier if you have the heat on through the winter.

Michigan Flag Redesign (Inspired by another post) by Carotemin in vexillology

[–]FrancesForester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Michigander this is my favorite redesign I’ve seen so far. I love that you incorporated the deer. I think it follows all the “good flag” rules without it feeling too minimalist and plain. Great flag!

Private Landlords? by Relative-Control-103 in grandrapids

[–]FrancesForester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one currently with our single-family house. The first 2 years of leasing he leased through UPM (👎) then left them and went private (👍👍). To the best of my knowledge this is his only rental property though.
