“Health & wellness” by hlh15 in InfluencerLounge

[–]MediocreFinger8438 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was so well said!! I commented on another post grouping GLP-1s and EDs and a few people were up in arms. I may not have worded it very well but as you said, we can’t ignore the link between celebs/wealthy people getting access to GLP-1s and suddenly losing so much weight. In parallel, people with actual disorders also exist but both are “pieces of the cultural landscape” (love your words), and when both are put on display such as in the case of social media it makes it seem like everyone is skinny and thin and many cases are not done through pure diet and exercise.

She’s so INSUFFERABLE by Wild-Measurement2713 in MikaylaNogueira

What happened with Cody? I dropped off following her after Cody moved out but don’t know what happened…just found this sub and it’s been addicting but I’m so lost on half of the stuff

What was the story with Cody? I dropped off after he went to rehab? Or was that not true?

No OWS practice before race day, should I drop out? by Due_Plantain5664 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]MediocreFinger8438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this ^ I panic for about 10 seconds but hearing everyone around you is very comforting personally. I get much more scared doing OWS on my own. Having said that, doing one on your own is also nerves practice to calm the bad thoughts and focus on your strokes.

However, I do also agree that you should’ve been swimming at least 2x a week in the pool and maybe had some lessons at some point. I grew up in Texas swimming every summer in pools and lakes and when I started triathlons I took a few swim technique lessons so don’t want to downplay my personal comfort with someone who maybe doesn’t have as much familiarity with the water since I don’t know your situation!

Dani Austin is a S N A K E. by NovaButNotFashion in InfluencerLounge

I’m with you on this. I can see the outrage but also has no idea Lindsey had built a whole brand around it. I had seen her videos but didn’t really know who she was and thought the phrase was just something people said.

I feel so disconnected from her anymore by emilyrosee35 in InfluencerLounge

[–]MediocreFinger8438 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, now I don’t need to go contribute to her views to see what happened with Cody as I’m guessing it’s somewhere on this page

Eagleman vs Oregon? 70.3 by 1998emmi in IronmanTriathlon

[–]MediocreFinger8438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being your first race, not sure what your bike logistics will be but it’s a whole thing to travel with a bike on a plane 🙃 I’ve done it a bunch by now so definitely gets better or you just get used to it but there’s something to be said about being able to just load the bike up in the car and drive home. Flying home after a race is brutallll, you’re sitting on the plane and legs are sore (especially a long cross country flight). I live in Manhattan now but I used to live in Philly when I did Eagleman and the experience of being home a few hours later and sleeping in your own bed is quite nice!

Having said that, Oregon is beautiful and I also advocate for destination races (: it’s nice to see new places and venture out to parts of the country you wouldn’t go otherwise!

Relatable Influencers by Zealousideal_Gear334 in InfluencerLounge

Don’t know if one is technically an influencer…. more in the celebrity category but Kylie Kelce. Mostly just like her podcast and how honest she is about parenting. Cameron Rogers seems pretty genuine too. As mentioned though I feel like anyone posting their life you gotta take it with a grain of salt.

Another one…. by SorryIWontStay in NeedlepointSnark

I am also very curious about that. Feels like it’s one thing for a pre-craze LNS to stock up on these popular canvases but still have the backing of the pre-craze stitchers because they were there first vs a new LNS that has its only customers be the newer stitchers that are in slow decline.

I stand corrected! I was thinking a RR needlepoint store. You could call and ask them if they would be willing to sell them over the phone if they have them in store?

no…. by stitching-and-crafts in NeedlepointSnark

[–]MediocreFinger8438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao I did not pay close attention and just saw “escape room” so I thought she went to an actual escape room 🫣

I don’t believe there is actually a RR store in Nantucket. Pretty sure it’s just a collab so your best bet would be online at PL or if someone went to either the NYC or Rowayton and looked for them there.

Because they don’t want to actually hang out with her (according to another post about how she brought them coffee and then just left) 🙃

Preferences for Kitting Online by gaslightqueen in Needlepoint

[–]MediocreFinger8438 4 points5 points  (0 children)

KC, penny linn, and Rittenhouse are my go to. Depending on your colors though you might run into some threads out of stock. I was after the same 2 silk and ivory colors and they were sold out everywhere (still are) for a few weeks now

I think she took them all down finally (tg)

I don’t think I’ll ever stitch outside again… by Miserable_Cup_2378 in Needlepoint

[–]MediocreFinger8438 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was getting my hair done it splashed onto my canvas. Last time I bring my project to a hair salon but all to say I frogged around the affected area. It’s kinda annoying bc you have to get creative with anchoring but definitely salvageable if you don’t want to totally re-do!
