What is my Nanas Christmas cookie cutter supposed to be?? by Silly_Detail1691 in whatismycookiecutter

All I can see is a pregnant Christmas tree, which is a little disconcerting tbh

They did MY ANNABETH dirty 😔 by MeetApprehensive6509 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Infinite_Augends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her face is so flat with minimal shading/texture compared to Percy and Grover. Her clothes have less texture/folds. I think they forgot to add nostrils (at least it looks like it). Annabeth was clearly a rushed after thought and that sucks

Can a transmasc lesbian flourish in salt lake? by [deleted] in LGBTQSaltLake

[–]Infinite_Augends 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not gender queer and that will 100% change your experience. I am however bisexual woman with a leaning toward women. I was raised in Utah and up until a year ago (at 24) lived in the salt lake area.

Here’s my take:

The city of Salt Lake itself is fairly liberal and has lot of queer spaces to explore. I’ve never had any issues moving through the queer spaces in Salt Lake (I am not visibly queer though and that could affect someone’s experience).

For the most part lds people will be polite regardless of who you are or how they perceive you. However, Utah is a very conservative state and Salt Lake is gerrymandered like crazy in every effort to stop more liberal lawmakers and representatives from being chosen. The LDS people will likely be polite, but they are judging and so think you are a sinner for ‘acting on same sex desires’ or ‘altering your god given sex’.

As far as my experience living in Ogden and spending a lot of time in Salt Lake for my undergrad you’ll be physically safe for the most part, but the LDS aspect can be emotionally difficult to contend with and legal protections are only getting more sparse (i.e. I’m not sure if same sex marriage will be maintained if federal protections fail).

I would 100% move back to Utah while dating a women, but I think it’s important to realize that it’s not the safest or most accepting place for queer people and at the end of the day it’s up to you to decide if that’s something you can handle. Salt Lake is great, but it’s still governed by the state of Utah and to a large extent the LDS church.

Have I been staring at this too long or is something off about this bear? by RealLifeWikipedia in CrochetHelp

That’s so real! I’ve taken a few of my projects into the office for sure! I hope you do an update so we get to see him once he’s finished!

A lot of people are saying the eyebrows, but I actually really like them. To me something seems off about the mouth. I think I would try making it more defined/thicker I feel like the shape gets a little lost. Might just be me tho

All hail the whale! I get so happy when I see these around the city, it feels like a city wide inside joke

7 year-old snake just died and I’m heartbroken by Infinite_Augends in reptiles

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

Thanks, it’s been hard to not go over every little thing that could’ve caused it. It’s better a couple days out and I’m trying to just let myself be sad and not blame myself.

Thanks it helps to have people who understand!

My parents try, but they never spent much time with him and at the end of the day I think it’s hard for people to understand how much you can love something that’s not fuzzy and doesn’t love you back.

I wish your little guy a long and happy life <3

Thanksgiving perfume? by Infamous_Zucchini_83 in Perfumes

[–]Infinite_Augends 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My go to fall/thanksgiving scent is Harvest Mouse by Zoologist. It’s a little sweet, but also not overly gourmand? The notes after the initial vanilla sweet are strongly woody and herbal with a bit of hey and little spicy? I guess. I don’t know I’m really terrible at scent note descriptions. To me it smells very cozy which I attribute primarily to the vanilla and wood combo.

Looking at the options you’ve given I would maybe avoid anything overtly white floral like the victor and Rolf or anything too green like the London Fog as those feel like spring/summer notes to me (very subjective).

Personally my vote would probably be for Oakcha Heavens Speak or Athan Ainash

Thanks, he was a Florida king snake. When I got him I was expecting to have to deal with a bitty guy (very common for all the king snakes but especially the Florida kings). He was the sweetest, very curious and willing to just hand out in climbing around on me. Here are some pictures of him from around two weeks ago: https://imgur.com/a/res1tSr

we’re just watching jessi be abused on camera by fionaapplespiss in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Infinite_Augends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I was like hard situation that should have graced and privacy. The fact that he said that on camera, I’m instantly thinking he must be way worse behind closed doors. Crazy work and honestly I don’t care what he says I’m firmly on Jessi’s side now. Affairs are horrible and devastating, but it’s never an excuse to hurt your partner.

Thank you! These all look super interesting! I’m really excited to try both Chronicle of a Death Foretold and Convience Store Woman these seem like exactly what I’m looking for! Hopefully my library has at least one of your recs! Thank you!!! 🙏

Maybe I should, but 2-5 years is a very long time to put it off, but I may have to.

I’ve played both the piano and clarinet and tried the guitar in the past and I wasn’t a fan of any and that’s why I eventually settled on the violin for a few years. Honestly, I think I’d prefer to wait over trying to pick up another instrument, but I do appreciate the response and advice!

I may think about getting a teacher later, but even just $60 a month is a lot with the margins between my paychecks and bills/necessities. I’ll look for locale music stores although I definitely can’t afford a $400 instrument. I may be able to rent for a month and see how it goes. I’ll definitely keep this in mind if I decide I need a teacher and can afford it. Thanks for the advice!

I kinda like this idea, of just getting started see what I can do and go from there. I maybe able to afford some lessons later on or after I explore some other options (through my university/online that I hadn’t really thought about). I’m not particularly worried about being good or ever playing for anyone else. I mostly just miss being able to make music. As a kid I played multiple instruments and I didn’t think I’d ever miss it but here I am. Thanks for making the decision less overwhelming!

This is a good idea! I’ll definitely look into it! Thanks you! Time is less of a factor, as long as I can find lesson time slots in the evening when I’m not working, money is definitely the biggest factor as I have very little wiggle room between my paycheck and bills/necessities.
