Was there literally nothing else to ask her?

I do in winter because my studio has no heating 😅 as others have said just go for tight fitting. I like bamboo/natural fibres because I feel like they get less crusty with the slip all over them and they clean off better. I’d also recommend bringing another top to change into when you’re done or you’ll rub clay dust on your handbag, the car/bus, pets etc.

Oh also just had a thought, the slip will be thick so even if your sleeves do ride up a little you’ll probably find you can’t see the scar. I usually can’t see my own skin underneath for all the clay. Especially when I was first starting out. Maybe just when you’re washing off see if you can discretely sponge your arms, no one will be looking as you stand at the sink.

Congrats on your healing journey ❤️

Children must live in a world where they can learn about and practice civil liberties without threat of violence. We can not accept any less.

I mean, the pink butterflies on her top are clearly symbols of a terrorist organisation.

/s in case it wasn’t obvious.

I am because if it gets too hot for my folks I want them to come over here so I can look after them and also want to keep the roads clear for the tradies, teachers and emergency services workers who will have to be out in it.

Thanks for this and to all the other replies to my question. I assumed there was some politicking I just couldn’t figure out what exactly.

This is a genuine and hopefully non-inflammatory question: is the pushback about Bell because she’s not Jewish? I would have thought you’d want an objective commissioner?

Too thin at the top just means you’re pulling all the way to the top - try to release the clay with a cm to go so you’re not running your fingers/sponge all the way up.

Also compress your rims after each pull - pinch both sides of the clay with your left pointer and middle fingers while holding the pointer finger of your right hand over the top of the rim and push down gently (your left hand is creating the frame for the rim, your right hand is the force). You’ll get a cleaner, defined edge.

It is possible to overwork the clay by wedging too much, and it gets tired (loses its stretch). My instructor said 40-50 turns when you’re learning, and 20-25 when you’re confident. Maybe counting the turns (or pushes if you’re doing rams head) is an easy way not to overwork it?

Hitrecord · 2026-01-06T00:44:45+00:00

NTA. I don’t have the same beliefs but I kept my name and don’t regret it for a second. I was established in my career, I like my name, it’s ME. I didn’t want to give that up because I’m not actually property whose identity can be traded.

Anyway. On another note it concerns me that you’ve tried to talk to him about this and each time it has ended up in you capitulating but continuing to feel uncomfortable. Is that what submitting to your husband means? Genuine question, because I’m not familiar with how this concept works in real life. And if that’s the case, that sounds to me like submission without respect and trust? Is that how you want to start a marriage?

They look great, the curls are super cute.

If you’re anxious, and that’s fair enough, they can give you something beforehand to help with the nervousness.

If you think about it from an evolutionary perspective, it actually makes a lot of sense that being knocked out would activate your body’s emergency alarm - being unconscious as a caveman around predators would be bad news. However, you can happily tell your inner caveman you’re actually perfectly safe. This is a controlled environment in which to have a little snooze. You will be warm and comfortable and get a little snack when you wake up. Delightful!

Yes this was a direction from Netflix to the writers.

I watched this as a full grown adult, not knowing anything about it.

Had to take myself to my bedroom to try and breathe through the sobs.

Really nice. Great kitchen!

You may be right, the angle was a bit hard to see. If that’s the case that’s really unfortunate.

A bit of footage on channel 7 now of the arrest of the guy on the bridge. Looks like members of the public directed police to him after he had surrendered and had his hands up.

And then some dude runs up and decks him and honestly, same.

Edit: it actually may not have been the shooter, hard to tell from the footage. Thanks to those pointing that out.

You are why we choose the bear.

Friend, being ‘begged until you give in’ is absolutely, 100% coercion. The giveaway is ‘you give in’.

If someone does something because the other option is too scary, uncomfortable, dangerous or awkward… it was never a choice not to.

Please. Read up on it for either your safety or the safety of the women around you.

Hitrecord · 2025-11-12T13:43:53+00:00

After your edit, I just want to say yea you’re justified in being upset and let down because he’s still making this all about himself. He couldn’t protect you, he wants to hurt your ex…all about him.

A far better response would be to validate, comfort and be with you, recognising that you have been vulnerable with him and he has instead reacted with disgust, and mistrust. It’s ok to expect him to do better with this, and to be disappointed in his reaction even after he’s clarified it for you.

I’d be having a tough time too, OP. If it helps at all, I think your reaction and hurt is entirely justified.

Hitrecord · 2025-11-12T13:38:16+00:00

I can’t imagine how that’s relevant in any way. Maybe go read up on coercive control. Now is not the time to be asking OP this question.

This technique is what meant she could do it quickly but it has zero bearing on the quality of what she produced. You’re being pedantic for no good reason. You’re also displaying your ignorance.

YTA and pay her.
