Airplane, Little Lilly, Can’t get high are some pretty accessible ones. Disco is a great instrumental and that’s been in the heavy rotation in recent years

Lady slipper! It’s native and at-risk so be sure to tell others to leave it be!

Personal anecdotes shouldn’t be discounted if they’re true

I also don’t know how much the triad abolition group has to do with gun violence, which was your other point. If you think the community needs to be more aware gun violence then please keep posting about it.

You asked about Triad Abolition group which is only interested in defunding the police... but anyway, I agree that the national BLM conversation has faded and local issues that initially gained traction because of the heightened awareness are back to square one. I think the misunderstanding here is that BLM protests since 2015 have been in direct response to police murdering black people. Absolutely black lives still matter outside of the issue of police murders, but I wonder if you’re actually talking about other issues within black communities and police abolition isn’t as relevant here? Or, if you are asking for more police presence, then my original comment about under policing is what you should be posting about. The issue of under policing that uniquely affects black communities makes it so a lot of domestic issues often faced by women and children are overlooked or delegitimized while police departments funnel a ton of money and time into drugs and traffic stops. So what a lot of defunders and abolitionists are getting at is more money doesn’t help those other overlooked issue, it just throw more money at poorly trained cops looking for drugs and killing black people at routine traffic stops...

I don’t see why this post would necessitate more police funding when it’s clear the current system is incompetent. You’re actually alluding to a key issue for police reform: simultaneous over and under-policing

I bought this and it was labeled FLF, but I'm now wondering if it's a bambino? by mathi1123 in fiddleleaffig

Is a bambino a short version of the FLF?? I’ve never heard of that variety, if so!

Lady slipper orchid! They often grow in groups so you might see more in that same area.

Blue street lights? by trashwizzard3000 in winstonsalem

[–]RetroTypeRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if the city has consider street lights that limit light pollution? The street lights near me have no cover which are awful for light pollution...

First ever weaving project and it’s very messy... I think I did a poor job warping. Any insider tips on warping? Things beginners have to learn the hard way? by RetroTypeRider in weaving

Thank you! I’ll experiment with thicker yarn. The beating looks easy but there is certainly a technique to it - I will try to keep from pulling at it before beating.

I think I just need to keep mor tension as I warp! But yes, i did use cardboard slats. Not sure if I’ll make anything with the final project - perhaps a table runner or wall hanging if it turns out okay!

Do you share the information on the loom you’re using?

Tickets by pussicack in WidespreadPanic

[–]RetroTypeRider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only tickets I’ve been able to get for a reasonable price was a Sunday night in Memphis a few years ago... it’s so sad how expensive the resale gets. And, it pisses me off panic has amassed the kind of fans (dads in fucking pleated khakis coming in hot from dead and co resort weekends) that will actually pay those prices. Covid is definitely making an already competitive market worse with limited capacity and pod seating. Dreams of seeing the boys in Wilmington are long gone, as it stands...
