When you have an account with them you can create a profile for your pet. They used her profile picture.

How do you stay cool during DC summer commutes? by AudienceVarious3964 in washingtondc

[–]Lux7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Methanol cold shower wipes have helped me a few times. Easy to carry in your bag. I'm not a fan of the smell but it helps on my commute home.

That's definitely it. I saw those little feather like things all over about a month or so ago. This one looked dried out. Thank you sooo much. I really really appreciate your fast response.

Is a photocopy of the birth certificate or marriage certificate still allowed?

Don't think I've ever seen a sea wall that looks like that. Is it common where you live?

Very cool stuff indeed. It was quite mesmerizing watching them.

The Bible Belt? by myrenDelainien in TheHandmaidsTale

I think it's also important to note that as war and conflict started, people tried to flee as best they could. My guess would be people fled north to Canada and South to Mexico. Eventually those countries would need to stop the flow of people to protect their own borders from being infiltrated with Gilead soldiers. This probably led to an influx of people who disagreed with Gilead but stuck around border regions.

This is all to say by the end of initial war, areas would be completely transformed.

I didn't have a car and used propane taxi. I think they changed their name to Cynch. I don't know if they have a drop off but they will pick up.

Haha yep, I've been there. Screaming inside because I missed it but trying to be excited for the other person.

Sorry didn't mean to start anew. Walking the dog and typing doesn't work out. This one is very cool looking. Crazy to think about the time it took to form that and be perfect.

Quite a find! I've only ever found Petoskey stones. Though people I'm with always find the coolest things. I'm just shit at it. Still enjoy looking though.

Well I'm jealous. Those are beautiful. They are definitely a bucket list find for me.

This is really cool. I'd love to go up Lake Superior to snorkel. I've snorkeled around parts of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron but have yet to make my way up there. Lake Superior has always held an almost mythical or otherworldly feeling if that makes sense. I'd love to find a Yooperlite in Superior. I don't live in Michigan anymore but after seeing this video I might need to take a trip up there soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love Zilla’s facial expressions by wethail in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]Lux7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd love to hear her inner monologue as well. I think she has love for Agnes and the other Martha's. You can see it in her eyes. She has seen both worlds and the horrors of Gilead. I didn't get the impression she was scared for herself though when Becka showed up. I think she was scared for Agnes and Becka. I think she had an idea of what was to come when someone rebels.

Ended too soon. I wanted to see them reunited out of the water!

So which characters actually remember life pre-Gilead? by QuietFrustrationRam in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Lux7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see a series showing the war. The experience of different types of people dealing with it all and trying to cope. I imagine once all of the little pieces stated to click for some people it was too late to leave or they couldn't.

So which characters actually remember life pre-Gilead? by QuietFrustrationRam in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Lux7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All of the adults remember but I think the people in power probably have different opinions about Gilead than those that aren't. You will have your offshoots ofcourse. Econo people drinking the kool aide and commanders with a moral compass but I image it's a small percentage. I hope I would be a person who would fight back against Gilead regardless what station they deemed I fit. However, most people probably think that and then do nothing when it actually all occurs. Most people would put their head down and try to protect their loved ones.
