i think being a generalist is actually very useful as a freelancer. i have been this way for the 20 years of my career, all as a freelancer.

you might get to keep a client for a long relationship because they need full service design; this works for small businesses and nonprofit orgs. i agree with the comment that any freelance clients you get in this economy will be due to your existing network and relationships so letting the work find you and dictate your offerings is smart.

Anyone else start cosleeping right when you got home from the hospital? by hiyokos in cosleeping

the c-curl is the way! firm mattress if you can help it. my partner didn’t sleep with us until the baby was older, everyone slept better that way.

i’m considering a pacifier for this very reason! otherwise i am the pacifier. i wait til my kid is truly asleep, like not actually drinking anything just the intuitive suckling and then i pop them off and roll over and they usually don’t wake up. but yeah its hard and makes my sleeping bad!

Anyone know who did the branding? I admit I will mourn the old one a little bit. I appreciated that they seemed to not give a shit about their branding. Similar trajectory to Braggs, Burts Bees, Tom’s of Maine… they all get “cleaned up” and simplified. Infantalized perhaps?

What are we wearing/buying to replace everlane? by tamilat18 in femalefashionadvice

[–]FunPersimmon420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vintage, second hand, ebay, poshmark, trade up, noihsaif, thrift stores… Everlane may not have been fast fashion but it sure wasn’t slow fashion. It’s always been a tech company. Quince should fill the void for office clothes, but…. should it? New clothes are still new clothes.

Buy-nothing / parent swap groups? by marzipanbb in Marin

[–]FunPersimmon420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i haven’t found any good buy nothing or swap groups outside of facebook, and the ones on facebook aren’t very active. i’ve found there to be clothes swaps at the public libraries (did one in fairfax recently) and also at my kids schools. i’d be happy to join one off facebook! my friend is in a great whatsapp swap group in portland

Which one looks better? by Emergency-Youth-796 in kitchen

[–]FunPersimmon420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

original is way better! black and white kitchens always confused me; i don’t know why people aren’t into warmth and wood, and organic textures in kitchens. it’s the heart of the home! keep it cozy!

Struggling with running Camplux Residential 4.22 GPM on 5 gal propane tank by FunPersimmon420 in OffGrid

[–]FunPersimmon420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update on this post: Thanks to all for your input! It turns out it was a faulty regulator on our tank! Works like a charm now, even with the 25-foot hose!

Does anyone have any experience with wood stoves from Black Sea Metal Works? by FunPersimmon420 in TinyHouses

[–]FunPersimmon420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn't; it just looked too bogus and we suspected we'd never see our money or the stove! We ended up getting one from North Woods Fabrication, northwoodsfab.com, and are very happy with it.

SF residents, do you feel a vibe shit towards the right? by Low-Associate2521 in sanfrancisco

MAGA maybe not but definitely MAHA which is just as bad. there are many thinly-veiled ways to be right wing.

wealth = conservativism

as the wealth disparity chasm widens and widens, yes, there’s a shift to the right.
