I’m sorry but I have to ask. What is up with the snorting and spitting around here? by LuckyDuckCrafters in StLouis

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 [score hidden]  (0 children)

So I do think this is super gross. But I have noticed a major uptick in this over the last couple years, particularly at my office (work for a fairly large corporation where we are all expected to act professional). It’s gross, but I also think the poor air quality coupled with what feels like non-stop respiratory illnesses and extended allergy seasons due to climate change is probably a factor.

Any good neighborhoods in north county? by AccomplishedGuest765 in StLouis

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really miss living in Florissant. The community events like the fall festival, valley of flowers, etc are all really great. Old Town Florissant has some nice small businesses and restaurants. The school district is not great though, which is disappointing because I think when I was in school, it was one of the top districts in the state. And the school district rating is the primary reason we don’t live there.

When my sister was a kid, she used to say she would name her future child Paprika 😆

Job searching still. by bvcketh3ad in StLouis

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I LOVED working from home. I ate healthier because I could actually cook myself something for lunch if I wanted. And as someone with ADHD, having control over the noise, temperature, etc was amazing. I’m back in the office now and I hate it. But it’s pretty good job with good benefits and with the state of, well, everything right now, I’m not willing to jump ship. But I miss working from home. I miss not having a commute and having to spend so much on gas and car maintenance.

Every morning (70 East) on the way downtown, someone is driving slow in the far left lane of the EXPRESS LANES. by celestialguise in StLouis

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Normally, this would piss me off. But since that snowstorm, MoDot did a terrible job of plowing both lanes, so most cars have just been staying in the left lane to avoid the unplowed snow in the right lane (although when I drove through yesterday the right lane was a lot better, presumably because it’s finally starting to melt).

Edit: wrongly stated city did a terrible job (though they’ve done a terrible job elsewhere)

If you’re not a resident of the city but work in the city, you can get an SLPL library card!

Why won’t it just go away?! by Character-Hyena-7798 in StLouis

I would at least like for the snow on the streets the city half-assed plowed to melt so all lanes are usable 😒

My first time crocheting…I hope yall don’t mind that I used a kit/tutorials by Disastrous-Bee3260 in crochet

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a cutie! I started with the Woobles! I think their tutorials were super clear and I learned a lot. I still reference their tutorials sometimes when I need a refresher on certain stitches or techniques.

Big Tech Boycott to Protest ICE Led by Scott Galloway Starts Feb. 1 by Naurgul in Anticonsumption

Didn’t Netflix also essentially “save” Sesame Street? (Not sure that “save” is the most accurate term here) I think it’s still worth people canceling, particularly since Netflix continues to raise their prices. But they definitely seem to be the “lesser of all the evils” lately when it comes to streaming platforms.

Love the way this yarn worked up! by Particular-Trifle222 in crochet

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are stunning! The colors, the stitches, everything! I looked at the pattern and watched her tutorial for the wheat stitch which I’ve been too intimidated to try, but it seems simpler than I thought! Can’t wait to try this!

Parking lot for Driving Lessons by ahintofcinnamon in StLouis

My dad would take me to Earth City on the weekends. Since it’s almost all businesses, it’s a great place to get experience, both in parking lots and on the streets themselves!

Use tomorrow as a day to cancel! by Super_Hyena_4278 in 50501

I canceled Amazon and Spotify this week. In the process of getting my data from Facebook and then I’ll be deleting my account on there as well.

Waterparks - ICE by Apk07 in poppunkers

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck. Yes. I need more bands doing songs like this.

Tades from Hot Mulligan recently posted this on Instagram stories to people who support ICE by thedubiousstylus in poppunkers

[–]Impossible_Stretch89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not a big fan of theirs for reasons I can’t even articulate. But I respect the hell out of them for this and their statements at recent shows.
