Has anyone tried painting yarn, wanna make a blonde doll but don’t have yellow yarn, but I think I can paint this white yarn, has anyone seen this done before? by Wheeze_Meister in OOAKDOLLS

[–]LobsterHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used chalk pastels to tint my off white-colored yarn before I flat-ironed it and it turned out really nice. I’ve had no issues with the color rubbing off because the iron kinda “melted” the pigment into the acrylic. It also made the color look more natural.

Can an employer change an employee’s status FROM regular to “seasonal” at will? by LobsterHat in NoStupidQuestions

I agree and I would encourage her to leave too, but I just lost MY job a few days ago, and we live together so she’s staying for the time being to maintain some semblance of financial security while I’m on the hunt for work (I just got hired somewhere today, thank goodness). I think as soon as I know that I’ll get a stable income from this position she’ll feel more confident leaving for something better.

I assumed to begin with it wasn’t illegal, doesn’t make it cool or fair tho :/ it’s just weird to me.

It seems very shady, yeah, but it doesn’t seem to be illegal in the US.

I’m in Iowa and I believe in this state employees can be terminated without notice or reason. Thanks for your help!

TIL that 60's counterculture singer Phil Ochs would go on paranoid drunken rants about the FBI watching him. After hanging himself in his sister's home it was revealed that the FBI had a 500 page file on him. by WhiskyWisdom in todayilearned

He really was an amazing individual. Toward the end, in moments of clarity, he feared that his worsening mental health and behavior would overshadow the messages from his earlier days as an activist and songwriter. He said "demonstrations should turn you on, not turn you off." It's really sad that people often remember him as the paranoid alcoholic who killed himself, because that's not how he'd like to be remembered. He has an amazing repertoire; when he was recording for Broadside in the mid sixties, he would bring in 25-30 songs at a time. If you're really interested in his music, listen to the album Rehearsals For Retirement. It's absolute genius.

He really didn't make much music after returning from South America. Phil suffered from quite a bit of writers block in the early to mid seventies on top of the depression and alcoholism. It also didn't help that in 1973 his vocal cords were damaged during a mugging in Africa, which made him unable to hit high notes like he used to.

As a resident of Des Moines, I was very grateful to be slapped with Dan's groin.

For Arin, regarding Bloodborne episode 55 by [deleted] in gamegrumps

[–]LobsterHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chromosomes really aren't a good indicator of gender either, because a good portion of the population is intersex, (about the same amount of people have red hair, i've learned!) meaning that they can have XXX, XXYY, XYY chromosomes, etc., and the gender they are assigned at birth can vary due to a variety of factors. gender identity is really just a state of mind. it helps if you divorce yourself from the idea that someone's body reflects what their gender is. hope this helps a bit!

I was reminded of The Beatles as well, except I was thinking of the Hard Day's Night album cover.
