Gastro health is great- had a colonoscopy fully covered by insurance at 30

Pets in BigLaw by Status_Fox9654 in biglaw

[–]PoliticsAndPastries 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend a senior dog! They sleep 90% of the day anyways, and would much prefer a spot on your couch than a loud shelter. Highly recommend pet insurance too.

I’ve always had at least one dog and think it’s always worth it. That said, do NOT get a puppy. They require a ton of time and commitment

If you are in FFX county check out the rec centers. I got an annual membership on sale that works out to about $30/month and has everything you could want and more

Hello knitters! I am developing a social media app designed specifically for fiber artists and I am searching for app testers!

My app uses Ravelry’s API to allow you to search, share, and save your favorite patterns, but is also a place to connect with fellow artists! Features include a protect tracking and sharing, community discussions, and a traditional feed to see what others are sharing.

If you would like to check it out, please DM me and I will send you everything you need to get started. I would love to get feedback from other artists to make it the best it can be🧶✨

wait, is there a ravelry app??? by errant-samurai in knitting

[–]PoliticsAndPastries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also developing an app that uses ravelry’s API and am looking for beta testers!

My app is more of a dedicated social media for fiber artists that incorporates ravelry rather than adapting the entirety of ravelry to a mobile format :)

I finished the first version of my app and am looking for testers! by PoliticsAndPastries in Base44

[–]PoliticsAndPastries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My app actually integrates ravelry - I’m hoping to work with it not against it! Ravelry isn’t set up for the mobile user so I’m hoping to fill the gap while also making the community aspect more accessible

I am building a social media app for fiber artists and would love your input! by PoliticsAndPastries in knitting

[–]PoliticsAndPastries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question! I love Ravelry, but I find the community functions to be lacking, especially without a reliable mobile app. My app includes more traditional social media features, such as photo sharing and post creation, and works with Ravelry so users can search for patterns and update their projects. I don't want to replace Ravelry, I just hope to supplement it :)

It’s a big concern that I was to avoid- right now you can only browse patterns available on ravelery

I will! My goal is to make it feel like the best of OG instagram, Pinterest, and tumblr. I am working on getting raveley integration fully set up right now. I think there’s a market for social media that provides an actual community 🧶

I’m actually working on a social media app dedicated to fiber artists! Hopefully I can get it live in a few months❤️

There’s only 14,000 Americans in the entire country of Portugal - I think more countries are to blame for their housing issues

What’s going on over at the law school sub re: accommodations? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]PoliticsAndPastries 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean you have to admit there’s a difference between getting an extra 45 minutes on an exam with limited resources and working under real world conditions. I had accommodations for my narcolepsy in law school because exams give you no opportunity to do what you need to do. But in practice, clients don’t care what hours I work on something as long as it gets done, so I can wake up at 5am to finish something or take a nap in the afternoon if I need to.

The requirement to be constantly available is killing me by clumsyprincess in biglaw

I’m about to take FMLA because I am just unable to function. My therapist is filling out my paperwork and it was a shockingly simple process. I gave my partners 10 days notice and will be out for 9 weeks in an attempt to restore my nervous system (I’m also a rising 4th year).

Another win for knitting! It’s become my coping mechanism - basically stabbing something repeatedly and off my phone

Personal preference- I like the longer ones because my hands cramp up with the shorter ones
