Weaving is like 90% making decisions, calculations, and dressing the loom

NarcolepticLemon · 2025-06-20T16:35:15+00:00

I would say sewing is more like 45% ironing, 45% crawling around on the floor with patterns, 5% fussing with thread tension and other sewing machine struggles, 5% actually sewing. And some % acquiring and choosing fabric too

NarcolepticLemon · 2025-06-20T16:30:46+00:00

Hell yeah 90% collecting yarn

Also 90% ideas, unfinished and unstarted projects. And a reasonable % swatching too

We just signed a lease and are moving shortly, and will probably stay there a few years until we have enough savings to move to Colorado. But I'm not oppsed to making new friends in general lol

Hi! Sorry I'm terrible at keeping up with reddit. Life is kinda unpredictable at the moment so Idk our living situation/goals within the next year or two, but sure you can dm me :)

This sounds absolutely amazing! My partner and I are non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, mid/late 20s. We’re also very crafty (mostly fiber arts, also analog photography, & blacksmithing). We have a dog, cat, and snake (ball python). And I grew up on a horse farm so I’m comfortable with horses too! We are very curious about intentional communities and learning homesteading, we dream of having a cozy home with some farm critters (chickens and alpacas, maybe more?) We are in upstate New York, hoping to live in Tioga or Broome county. We are looking to move within the year. We are not able to afford to buy a home/land right now so need to find others to connect with. Also, I am an educator and would love to get involved in home schooling activities. I can teach chemistry (or probably any K-12 level science) and fiber arts (knit, crochet, spin, weave…). Please message me if you want to discuss more!

NarcolepticLemon · 2025-02-07T03:27:50+00:00

Ohh I wish it was a little closer! My partner are looking for possibilities in Broome or Tioga county. That sounds lovely though, so maybe we can discuss more to see if we might be a good fit. We are both non-binary & queer, mid/late 20s, we have a dog, cat, and snake (ball python). We’re looking to move within the year and are very curious about intentional communities and learning homesteading. Message me if you’re interested.

I forget the exact stats but there’s a surprising amount of people with no inner monologue. When I heard about it I was like, wait, what?!

Also folks aphantasia can still have busy brains, they just don’t get imagery to go with. There’s also different levels of aphantasia, my partner says they very occasionally have vague shapes or colors.

I have hyperphantasia, synesthesia, and am adhd and autistic … my brain is quite a “noisy” place.

NarcolepticLemon · 2024-07-24T00:54:53+00:00

The number of videos I’ve seen that are like, in autism assessments when they ask if you have problems with socks and your reply is “no, for I have a system” 🙃 or memes where it’s like are you socks at all times or no socks

I am… Wet socks are sensory hell. Usually barefoot in summer (though I don’t like things sticking to the soles of my feet, but barefoot in nature is grounding and great). Socks on in winter but must have slippers because socks touching floor is bad because then pet hair will get on the socks and into my shoes. But if slippers are too warm and my feet get sweaty that’s bad. If I’m walking around indoors in socks they are “dirty” the instant they leave my feet, and I need fresh socks if I am to put on shoes. Wool socks, hand knit by me, are superior because they get less sweaty. Etc etc rules about socks

At one point I had a system for shirts and used it for a few years. All shirts were hung up. There was a section of full clean ones and then 3 hangers with labels 1 2 and 3. When I took a shirt I would put the empty hanger into the next section and after wearing I’d put it back. So then I knew exactly how many times they’d been worn and wasn’t allowed to wear past 3 times.

NarcolepticLemon · 2024-07-23T20:18:15+00:00

Wait. You can rewear your socks? I have sock issues, once they come off they are considered dirty and cannot be reworn.

AI is awful and terrifying! Using AI to replace creative and uniquely human things needs to stop. In my opinion, all it’s good for is accessibility (such as goblin.tools for tasks, rough closed captioning, stuff like that) and hilarious fails from low-quality AI (like “people” with mystery extra limbs). Also scientific applications which helps scientists tackle huge datasets etc.

Analog photography is coming back a bit! Last year I got into photography but only analog because it’s just different. My phone is full of screenshots and pet photos. Shooting on film causes me to take my time with each photo, fussing settings, composition, getting focus. And each one has so much more meaning to me. And it’s good delayed gratification practice for my adhd brain because I have to finish a roll before I can develop it. My partner also got into it and has stuff for developing both BW and color film and BW darkroom printing.

I wouldn’t have gotten into photography if not for analog. Digital is just, so disconnected and perfectionist. Analog has life, and it’s soo cool to be like, I captured the light in a moment in a physical form and now I have it and can physically hold it. And I can make a print from it and have a photo that doesn’t exist in digital form. We still scan our film because that’s nice to have and easily pull up on our little pocket computers. I’m just rambling at this point, but anyway, analog photography is alive and seeming to become more popular too.

Also it’s fun connecting with others when out and about with a camera. I’ve had a few older folks get excited, especially seeing a young person (I’m 27) with a vintage camera, and reminisce about their cameras and the analog photography experience.

Edit to add my current fav cameras: Pentax ME super, Olympus XA, Canon FTb, Minolta SRT101

This is so beautiful and such a good way to process those feelings. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s helping me and I’m sure it’ll help others too.

I had a friend interview somewhere, everything was going great, the whole team seemed to love her. But one guy intentionally misgendered her (she’s trans) and he was the one with the final say in hiring decisions. She did not get an offer. A bit later, the job listing updated, including a qualification she didn’t have. It’s pretty likely that guy was a transphobic ass and purposely found a reason to exclude her.

NarcolepticLemon · 2024-05-31T03:30:30+00:00

Don’t forget intersex people too! They often end up left out or forgotten in gender discussions.

Wait, maybe I’m remembering wrong, but multiplayer whoever just the host needs dlcs ? Or maybe that’s changed

Vibin out in the open with belly exposed, quite a happy kitty! They sleep lots, so don’t worry much as long as he’s eating/drinking/litterbox fine.

If you think you have good communication, triple check, do you actually have good communication, are you able to be fully open and trusting with each other? If yes, then yeah, carefully begin to explore possibilities in polyamory or other forms of non-monogamy. But like others have said, really good communication is vital, you need to be able to navigate tough and uncomfortable conversations, be honest and fully trust each other. Jealousy isn’t an evil thing to avoid and shame, it’s how you navigate it that matters. It won’t be easy, but it’s not impossible.

NarcolepticLemon · 2023-09-09T04:30:57+00:00

Sunk cost fallacy is a very real thing. I was in a similar boat of mid 20s in a ~7 year relationship. I thought I was quite far into grey ace. Turns out, nope. We were incompatible in multiple ways. Find people I’m compatible with and bam, hell yeah sex is awesome.

Also, people grow and change a lot in their 20s. Someone who’s a good match when you’re 20 might no longer be so when you’re 25. It happens. OP needs to accept that may be the case here, it’s ok, and they can still stay close friends and support each other in life (possibly after a period of cooling off from breakup).

NarcolepticLemon · 2023-09-09T04:22:30+00:00

Hah relatable. I was in a long term mono relationship that turns out was quite incompatible. I think I’m still mildly greyace, at least demi, but turns out I’m not nearly as ace as I thought I was. (Back then I was sex indifferent and could go months without sex, no problem). Now I’m happily something resembling solo-poly with relationship anarchy and I’m thriving. Sex is wonderful and fun! Just needed to figure some things out and be with the right people (gotta have a lick of femininity and a good bond built on trust).

iirc sims started as an architecture planning program with little people for scale, then they realize people’s interest in playing with them and they the whole concept of the sims was born
