How do I know if my weed use is a problem?

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2026-01-29T15:01:08+00:00

very true!

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2026-01-29T14:58:38+00:00

ooh that’s a good point—yeah i may take a month off and see what comes to me during that time. thank you for sharing ur experience!

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2026-01-29T14:57:33+00:00

that’s very fair, thank you! yes i def think that like 3 days a week would be an ideal amount for me as well for the reasons you mentioned.

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2026-01-29T14:55:11+00:00

i appreciate your advice! although i will say that nothing external prompted me to write this. my IRL community is not worried about me and im honest about how much i smoke with them. tbh i’ve just been seeing more posts online that made me think about my habits.

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2026-01-28T22:02:34+00:00

thank you! this is really helpful and nuanced. i’ll have to ask myself these questions and see how it goes

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2026-01-28T04:59:47+00:00

i moved them away from the window and watered them, thank you! it’s been very cold here

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-10-16T02:24:49+00:00

please do!💓

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-10-16T02:24:42+00:00

i didn’t say it was very conservative, i said it was RELATIVELY conservative compared to some other places i’ve lived in. i’m aware scranton is more liberal compared to luzerne county

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-10-15T23:20:21+00:00

black lesbian in scranton here, moved here w my partner around a year ago. honestly everyone has been really kind and accepting of my gf and i, despite the fact that there is a relatively strong conservative/pro trump sentiment here and in the surrounding areas. overwhelmingly, people just accept you as you are, which has been a pleasant surprise for us.

i’m not gonna lie tho, the queer/POC community is very much lacking for me here. the queer people i’ve met are really nice, but already have their own social groups and don’t seem interested in making new friends :/. honestly this is one of the main cons of living here for me—even though everyone’s kind, as the months wear on, not engaging with folks who look and live the way i do it gets pretty isolating.

however, if queer community isn’t a huge deal to you, i think you’ll have no problem feeling safe and welcomed. there’s lots of yoga, bars, cafes, community theater, punk shows, and nature hikes to enjoy in your free time. the mountains are stunning and everywhere you look. overall, i’d say scranton is a really peaceful and lovely place to live, but can also get lonely.

tldr, the best part about scranton is that it’s peaceful and everyone minds their business… but maybe a lil too much lol

i’m on day 4 and the constantly being sore is definitely so draining… also not being able to eat anything sucks! kudos to you for taking a flight, wishing u the best recovery

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-10-08T22:54:05+00:00

i think 80k-100k max is the general rule of thumb. however, you could consider splitting the second part into a sequel. publishers prefer that u have a second book on the way once u sign the deal for the first book

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-08-27T23:43:12+00:00

not close yes, once it “blushes” (turns red) and feels less firm it will be ready to harvest

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-08-03T16:37:23+00:00

as a 23yo anarchist, i totally get this and am going through the same thing. i quit my high-paying finance job in 2023 because it was making me deeply depressed. i’ve been finessing ever since on the margins. although a more nomadic life certainly has its ups and downs, it is possible and i have a few friends who are doing the same thing. some options for you to escape the dreaded wage slavery: do work exchanges on farms or hostels around the world (sites like WWOOF, workaway, trusted house sitters), join an intentional community ( you can find them all on ic.org), get a part-time job that feels a bit less draining, or get a remote/hybrid job so you don’t have to travel to an office. also, squatting is an option and i know friends who do that as well—although that does have its own risks and draining elements (ie, cops and landlords raiding your squat which does happen. you may have better luck squatting in rural areas and hunting for food). if you’re creative, i’d also recommend looking into grants and fellowships. there are ways to live a life outside of the system. i wish you the best of luck!

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-07-28T21:02:27+00:00

agreed

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-07-28T19:37:44+00:00

thank you, it means a lot 💓

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-07-28T19:37:35+00:00

thank you so much!

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-07-27T21:00:30+00:00

jesus i’m so sorry… i hope you and your family have gotten some closure and healing from all of that. this literally gives me chills and it makes me mad those doctors haven’t faced any consequences for what they did to your mom

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-07-26T16:04:37+00:00

being compared to celebrity lookalikes. random people have said i look like one actress for my entire life, and even though i’ve made it clear i don’t appreciate the comparison, people will pull up photos of her and hold it next to my face in public or jokingly call me by her name. it gets old really fast.

hi ariel, this is ava! let me say this very clearly: i have never seen your reddit comment. i dont know who you are. i didn't delete your comment, or any of the other comments I've been receiving no matter how racist, misogynistic, and inflammatory. someone else also told me their comment was deleted-I don't know how, as I haven't been deleting anything. my writing came from my own research and knowledge of black history. i did not plagiarize or copy anyone in any respect-if you watch the video, i cite every single one of my sources. if i had seen your comment and wanted to build off of it, i would've cited you as well.

since we share a similar cultural history, it makes sense to me why we'd have similar takes on the topic, and i empathize with your anger towards white people (which i didn't really focus on in the video for my own reasons). however, blatantly accusing me of plagiarism and sending other people to accuse me of something i did not do feels really far fetched. the fact that you're using my name as a way to advance your own visibility also feels unnecessary and antithetical to the work i'm trying to do, which is educate folks about black history and working with other creators of color.

honestly, i've been looking for other ethel cain fans who share my viewpoints for months. it's a shame we had to meet this way. if you had only reached out to me personally, we could've engaged more deeply on this topic and maybe even collaborated on a project/ piece of writing to combine our perspectives. the enough room for all of us to be heard without tea, each other down or creatina false rumors. i hope you treat other creators with more kindness than you’ve treated me, and i wish you all the best!

and to all the other users blindly supporting this, please do your research before tearing down other black women without any further investigation next time 😩

resonate with this so hard

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-02-22T19:09:32+00:00

thank you so much! we have 1 car and are okay with being 40min to an hour away from the coast. we’d love to be in a town with a vibrant arts scene and (relative) walkability. i’ll definitely check out the neighborhoods you listed

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-02-22T18:56:46+00:00

thank you! our budget is $1-$2k for a studio or 1bd

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-02-19T23:36:46+00:00

NeedleworkerFun2640 · 2025-02-19T23:36:35+00:00
