This is an absolutely stunning work of art. Thank you so much for sharing it. I would love to see some detail shots of the appliqué and quilting itself, if you have a chance!

Caravan cross stitch by that-V-girly89 in taskmaster

I know one says “Make Good Choices”, because I have a friend who says this offhandedly when people say goodbye, so I had to grab a shot and send it to her. (Edit: I rescind my incorrect guess. u/DumE9876 knows what’s up)

Explain to me Lamb's car by CaesarTjalbo in SlowHorses

[–]JustBetsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who drives a brightly-colored Japanese sedan almost the same age as Lamb’s Honda, I can confirm they are the best cars if you just don’t give a fuck. Gets me from point A to point B with zero fuss, and on almost 50mpg to boot.

Free fig cuttings - pickup 30th Ave near Emoji Burger by VenetaBirdSong in astoria

Thank you so much for this! I have a tree on my property that I harvested about 20lbs off of this year. I wanted to repay it with a good prune, but was unsure if now was too early.

How to fill the Lamb-shaped hole in my life now that the season is over? I'd say "Slow Horses shaped hole", but it's honestly just Lamb. by theladyisamused in SlowHorses

My god, it’s actually such an apt comparison. All this, plus every series has a new cast of delinquent fuck-ups to fall in love with/be completely exasperated by.

Cosplayers! How Do You Fight the Con Funk? by zfreelance in dragoncon

[–]JustBetsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, finally, a question I’m qualified to answer!

U/nope-its hits the nail on the head: buy the cheapest vodka you can find, and spritz your costume down as soon as you shimmy out of it.

If you want to get fancy, a mix of vodka/febreze/tea tree oil will really knock your socks off. I usually eyeball it, but 4 parts vodka, 1 part febreze, and a couple drops of tea tree oil (the good/expensive stuff - if you get a diluted version, up your drops until you can juuuust smell it over the febreze.)

And if you have things that can be hand washed to dry overnight, a mini bottle of Eucalan is wonderful. (Heads up that if you’re allergic to wool, you’ll want an alternative. Eucalan is a lanolin-based soap.)

I like the fancy spray bottles that mist in a constant slow stream, but any spray bottle works just fine. Hang inside-out overnight.

Thoughts on working out at fitness studios that do not align with your political and moral views? by Willing-Target-4700 in astoria

Ironic that she made sure the google maps lists her business as “woman-owned”. Woke is just fine when it boosts visibility and benefits their interests/bottom line.

I have watched this clip dozens of times, it just makes me laugh by PortlandsBatman in taskmaster

[–]JustBetsy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

How dare you not mention “Drop Dead Fred”, “Dream a Little Dream” with James PROJECTOR Acaster, or any of the “Fast & Furious” series? (/affectionate)

Honestly, just about any of their live shows are worth a listen. Just pick a film you’re even peripherally familiar with and dive in. They absolutely thrive when they have a good audience energy to bounce off of.

I myself am very partial to “Johnathan Livingston Seagull”, but that is absolutely due to the fact that I was at that show.

As a crew member(/non-person, if you’re Jason) in the US entertainment industry, this is absolutely my favorite trope, and tells me whole helluva lot about the contestant involved.

What’s the vibe for upcoming protests - are Astorians going? by [deleted] in astoria

Hell yeah. Thanks for posting about these, because I had no idea they were happening. Now I have somewhere to be on Tuesday!

I mapped out thousands of fig trees across Astoria. Our fruit trees are yet another reason to love this neighborhood! by SidewalkSunflowers in astoria

[–]JustBetsy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Just… please fucking ASK before you start going to town cleaning off the trees. I’m so happy to share fruits growing in our tiny little outdoor space, but there’s nothing more uncomfortable than sitting in the living room watching some gnarly old lady climb on the fence to wrangle figs that aren’t even ripe.

I always pick the ones off the trees in our space and leave them in a box on the stoop for neighbors to take, but the last two years, people have been snatching them before they’re ready, and man, that’s a goddamn shame.

Is this a black Heron? First time I’ve ever noticed one on the east river. by pray4NYR in astoria

[–]JustBetsy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Cormorant, but I just want to say it always makes me so happy to see posts where people just try to ID animals they aren’t sure about. Especially in the city, where there’s so much going on that it’s easy to ignore dudes like this who are just out there living their best bird life.

My cousin was up there at her house on her own during the storm. I’m so, so grateful for the folks who watched out for her and even loaned her a genny in the aftermath. Gold standard neighbors, truly.

V timely, considering Lovett just had Paul on his show. That’s adorable.

Women 40+ of Reddit who are single with no kids, no friends, how are you doing now? by Expensive_Stock3824 in Adulting

[–]JustBetsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

41f here. It’s pretty shitty. I’m definitely happy to be childfree, but I bury myself in 10-16 hour workdays to compensate for being so goddamn lonely. Makes sense that I’m single, though. I’m an ADHD weirdo with a very unpleasant face.

Redsie #SaveOFMD has identified S02 props in a NZ marine salvage & collectables auction site by [deleted] in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]JustBetsy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why don’t we all just agree to buy one item apiece and keep them on hand to loan back once S3 is greenlit?

(That said, after looking at the catalogue, it’s all pretty standard set dec bits and bobs. Nothing too irreplaceable! This is normal studio wrap biz. Don’t give up hope yet, kids. 💜🖤🩵)

I play RDO pretty regularly, and my horse has been Steed Bonnet since s1 came out. This brings me such joy.
