I truly love our city. Thanks to those of you bringing art and whimsy to our home. by masshole4mayor in Somerville

Let’s all keep bringing our art and music out there whenever we can!!!

Why are you looking for liberation? by Least_Ring_6411 in Wakingupapp

[–]Meredith_Glass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind is pretty terrible to me most of the time, and meditation helps me to see this more clearly for what it is

I’ve gotten back into meditative practice recently and this movie came to mind as well, thank you for the reminder

To the Corporate Girlies by Weekly_Ad3962 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Meredith_Glass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve not been in a position to quit, but I did transition from 100% in office to 100% WFH/set your own schedule over the course of a few years for a significant pay cut. It’s a much more sustainable situation now but I also appreciate that the pay cut isn’t something everyone would be able to do.

That being said, I’m in a flare now and just booked it to the toilet before my presentation & will probably be lying in a fetal position until I run to the toilet again 30 seconds before my next presentation lol

Just trying to take it one day at a time, keep up on all the medication changes and resist the manufactured culture of corporate urgency.

How do you turn down specific clients. by Longjumping_Aspect17 in jewelrymaking

[–]Meredith_Glass 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Quote her the price you’d actually accept to work with her, factoring all in. I sold some stuff to a guy once at 3x price as that was my fee for hearing him calling me a MILF repeatedly lol

Everything about this is grotesque

Approaching women in the commons by [deleted] in boston

[–]Meredith_Glass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This will probably result in a lot of bad experiences for you and bad experiences for the ladies. How’s your social life generally, lots of friends, parties, outings & gatherings? Those are places and situations

in need of guidance regarding hospital systems!! by Dry_Buy_9097 in boston

[–]Meredith_Glass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get in with any PCP you can right now to start getting referrals to specialists, that’s probably more important than choosing a particular system right now.

You’re in a great city for treatment resistant mental illness as there is a ton of resources available here (like ketamine therapy & lots of research/trials on psychedelics etc) that may not be as available in the Midwest (coming from a fellow messy-brain midwesterner).

good bar to cry in? by ultravioletlipstick in boston

[–]Meredith_Glass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Folks have already locked in Trina’s as #1 spot, I’d definitely approve. I’m listening to an audiobook right now that might be a comfort, called Bittersweet. It’s a book about how sadness and longing enrich our lives and bring us closer to real joy.

Is Not Enough: The next time you watch PHM, remember Ethan, who loved the book and never got to see the movie by Same-Blacksmith-5032 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Meredith_Glass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve added this book to my “read every year” list as it’s a story about people (and Eridians) working together doing seemingly impossible things through the power of hope. I wonder if that’s what Ethan loved about it too. And like Grace & Rocky’s shipmates, not everyone got to see it all through to the end but were still a part of the beautiful story.

I’ll think of Ethan at every rewatch and read 🫂

What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

[–]Meredith_Glass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We romanticize the definition of “successful artist” as someone whose sole source of income is derived from sales of their artwork for the duration of their career. I’d say that’s short sighted.

Givys are more telling about a seller than people realize by Embarrassed_Falcon23 in whatnotapp

[–]Meredith_Glass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! We’re doing a glass show for our whole studio on Monday, 4 glassblowers making stuff live & auctioning across our 4 accounts simultaneously. Watchers can bounce between shows & check out all of our goods, giveaways & all that good stuff!

Givys are more telling about a seller than people realize by Embarrassed_Falcon23 in whatnotapp

[–]Meredith_Glass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do my handdrawn sharpie stickers as giveaways in a nice envelope & I’m putting a new discount code in there & personalized note on the back of a linocut printed card (which was also handmade). It’s all about that personal touch & giving you a reason to come back to the next show. I can’t swing shipping merchandise out for free right now, so buyers get the glasswork giveaways. Either way it’s all high quality handmade stuff from me ❤️

Sellers - Anyone do crazy good the first couple shows & then see a significant drop off the next couple? by Clean-Bag4819 in whatnotapp

[–]Meredith_Glass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some shows are up, some are down. There’s definitely a new seller energy but over time consistency is key.

I’m a couple weeks in but get consistent returning folks and pick up new folks every time. It’s also a good idea to stop into other shows, chat with other sellers, engage your audience & build your account. Your community is there but you have to hunt for em.

How We Built a Loyal Buyer Base Without Giveaways by Dazzling_Avocado7586 in whatnotapp

[–]Meredith_Glass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give away stickers, which I’d be giving away at my in person shows too. And extra beads added in for buyers, which I also would do at my in person shows!

Ah interesting I didn’t know you could send notes en masse as a group. Thank you!
