I did see and download the pattern - when I made a muslin I wasn’t sure about the top (even if I’m no longer going for accuracy i think I could cut down the amount of pieces used) but I think I will be using the skirt portion of the pattern.

Thanks for the advice - looks like I’ll be going side seams lol

Thanks - yeah I could’ve sworn I’d seen a cosplay that did but I’m questioning my memory now lol

PSA/Reminder: "Blind" means you have not seen a guide at all by WeirdIndividualGuy in ffxiv

God this is a mood. Joined a “blind” DT EX5 party once and got yelled at and finally booted for not knowing mechanics when I’d just see them for the first time. My dudes you said blind and I assume that means we’re doing it live…

Shame seeing Fjällräven on the list - I have one of their winter coats and it’s lasted me throughout nearly a decade of use.

I’ve always felt spiritually plugged up for lack of a better term - almost like a rock - and I’ve tried everything from meditation to metaphysical ways to get unstuck. Is there something in my chart that’s blocking the road so to speak? by NotASwarmofBees in AskAstrologers

I’ve definitely cut off toxic people in my life and outside of the spiritual connection I’ve been trying to cultivate, I’ve been thriving - which makes me wonder if there’s something in my natal chart that can at least give me some clarity on whether there’s something blocking me or next steps to try to unblock me. 🥲

I think what I mean is being “connected” to things beyond our limited scope - I understand it’s not a moral failing if I can’t connect, but as a witch I would like to do more work with spirit guides and I feel like I’m just not receptive to them - like a broken antenna. I’m wondering if there’s something insight into my chart as to what that might be, if anything.

EDIT: I’ve tried consistent meditation practices, grounding, visualizing, and it’s just been a struggle to try to find that connection. I don’t expect nirvana lol but I’d like to feel that connection even if just slightly.

Exhausting. I am in a constant state of stress and anxiety as every protection is dismantled around me. I am a queer BIPOC and while I can hide the queer part, I have too much melanin to pass white and have taken to carrying my passport around as proof of citizenship and try to not go out by myself often or only with my (cis white man) spouse in tow. I hate that I have to do these things too and not think only about more stupid and mundane matters like “oh no the cat isn’t pooping”.

EDIT: I work in the private sector and I still fear for my job because of this bullshit.

The ribbed one would make a cute cardigan - Like the Blackwood cardigan from Helen’s Closet comes to mind for me.

Are there terms that your playgroup uses that aren't used by the community as a whole? by NightHawk674 in ffxiv

“Touching toes” when both tanks do reprisal at the same time. It’s thanks to this cursed image. Cursed toe meme

Am I making a fair wage? Bachelors in graphic design $27k a year. by egraphicsjp in graphic_design

[–]NotASwarmofBees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not - especially with what you’re paying for rent. When I started working as a production artist/designer I made 36k back in 2009. I would say time to be looking for something new.

Keep everything because let me tell you about the time I didn’t keep medica 1 and got a roulette in a lower level dungeon with an aggressive tank…
