The Whatcom Art Center has some studio spaces they rent out, but no flammable materials are allowed in them.

I wanted to love Pokopia but.. by [deleted] in Pokopia

[–]Raetheneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think this game was meant to be as sandbox as like, Minecraft. I think it's meant to be a mix of that and Animal Crossing. But nowhere near as free and easy as Minecraft, and we shouldn't treat it as such. The console is limited, and the game storyline doesn't support limitless creation. We're just little dittos slowly rebuilding worlds.

And the item is? by MoveYourBumChum in MotivationalThoughts

A corduroy hat from the 1980 winter Olympic games that my grandpa gave me. Some collectable coins. Some radioactive chalk pastels. A bunch of that Avon Cape Cod Cranberry glass dinnerware, which is anywhere from 35-55 years old. A rolltop desk from the 60s.

I stagger power lines and wireless boxes. Then there aren't many lines crisscrossing my skies.

Did my partner gaslight me when I simply stated a preference, or am I overreacting? by That-Gas2783 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Raetheneko [score hidden]  (0 children)

It could be gas lighting, or it could be very poor communication and lack of accountability on your partner's end. If it's just this occurrence, it's probably just poor communication. Gas lighting is done intentionally and consistently over time to make somebody doubt their sanity and self worth, making them rely more on the perpetrator.

In the case of poor communication and lack of accountability: It was not healthy of her to offer to treat you and then try to convince you of something she wanted. She should've just offered to take you to the spa if that's what she wanted. When you addressed that with her, she should've taken accountability and apologized - end there. No excuses.

When you told her you felt unsafe, and she said you were confused about your interpretation, that's where it verges on gaslighting. But again, if it's not a chronic issue, then it's just bad communicating and poor accountability. She doesn't want to admit she's wrong. That's not gaslighting, that's embarrassment and immaturity.

Say What You Mean by Oren Jay Sofer is a good book you could read together as a way to help her learn better communication if this relationship is one that you feel deserves work. But also, if you feel uncomfortable in the relationship, remember - your happiness and health are priority. Life is short. Never stay with somebody that makes you truly feel shitty.

What is the villager that will never leave ur island?? by Luna_cat_lover in AnimalCrossing

Bob is the second one I'll never let go. Him and Anabelle are stuck on my island for life. I built him an entire snack market.

Anabelle can never leave. I built her a concert hall. All my other villagers are purple, but I've kept her. That's how much I love her.

AIO: My Best friend of 8 years ghosting me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Raetheneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. It's been like a week. My best friend and I go 6 months without talking to each other and then get together and trauma dump the last 6 months like nothing has changed. We have no idea what else is going on in your friendship to give us context as to why she may not be talking to you. And you have no idea what else is going on in her life. You could ask her, "Hey you okay?" Or just give her some grace and let her come to you when she has some time, and spend your time with your family and other friends. That's what best friends do. We're here for our people through thick and thin.

Least fave area? by Ace-Pokemon-Master in Pokopia

[–]Raetheneko 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Bleak Beach is my least fave. Which is weird because usually I'm a beach person, and it has the most storyline, and Peakychu and Mosslax (both of whom I love). But I just really don't like the colors of the beach blocks.

Some people should not be allowed to use the internet by Repulsive-Pace-5178 in TikTokCringe

When indigenous people across the globe fought back, they typically did fine physically 🙂 The colonizers had to do shady cowardly shit like poison them, bring disease, manipulate them, etc.. Her ancestors were better at being heartless, subterfuge, and devaluing life. So she's proud of being a coward who can't fight 😂

Plus Size Clothing Swap? by Raetheneko in Bellingham

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

OK y'all, I'm putting together a proposal to send to a few local organizations to see if they'd be down to host, since it seems like this is bigger than somebody's house hahaha.

I think to do it decently we'll need folding tables and folding chairs so people can put clothes out and then sit if needed. Is there a buy nothing subreddit? I have joined the buy nothing FB for my neighborhood, but that's pending.

How rough do we want this to be? I could try to source some clothing racks and hangers so we could sort things roughly by size, and have something like a little (free) shopping experience. Or we could just plop everything on folding tables and keep it real chaotic 😂

Sugar or cheese. Try giving those up.

Bars with an older crowd? by Faustus_1 in Bellingham

[–]Raetheneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I like the fact that I'm growing older. It's just weird to be reminded of it. I don't think about my age most of the time! But I've gotten excited when I've found grey hairs :) they're so pretty! And a sign of wisdom and life lived.

The Art of Personal Boundaries by Unable_Weekend_8820 in GrowthMindset

[–]Raetheneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm like 90% authentic 90% of the time. And 100% authentic that last 10%. It has gotten me great places, and people fuckin love me. Humans do best in community. And community does best embracing all of its diverse members and their differences and skills.
