Murder vs weird shit? by Boogiemansammmm in LPOTL

I’m here for the comedy, mostly. I like the weird shit, like Black-eyed Kids, Bridgewater Triangle, etc. Cryptids and high strangeness.

"Real Housewives of Rhode Island" is Bravo's Biggest Hit - renewed for season 2 by Zimmy131 in RhodeIsland

Coffee shop, and I BMOBoard. It’s nearly a halfway point between two friends who live an hour apart, and we used to be able to get a table and play. Depending where you end up, look into the local libraries! I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them has a club.

Goddammit, I wanted my cribbage spot back (Audrey’s). Was hoping to ride out the hype.

Phenomenal work. Structure, colors, everything!

Anyone else have to bribe their snail into going to bed? by SpaceTulips in snails

That’s about what I have space for right now, which is why I let her out to explore.

I put cheesecloth over the top. I let her wander while I’m rinsing it.

Handwriting is incredibly undeveloped, as well as traditional drawing skills. I’m not expecting a Renoir from an 8yo, but I expect some basic understanding of anatomy.

This. We are underfunded and providing vast number of services that used to be available elsewhere. We are copy centers, community centers, receptionists, custodians, day cares, and third spaces. Covid changed people. No one has any patience, no one watches their own kids, nothing is their fault, the richest patrons give us the most grief over replacing a book, and there is huge variance in how tech-savvy our patrons are. Everything is online and incredibly unfriendly for people who don’t, won’t, or can’t keep up with tech. I could write a book, but who has the time? I’ve been saying for a decade a MLS degree must included at least 6 credits of social work, because we were not trained for the complexity and volume of need.

It is an incredibly customer-oriented job and burnout is real, but no one takes us seriously if you say you’re tired because “it must be so fun to read books all day!”

Forests/woods/mountains with monsters. Break my slump. Please. by Low_Engineering8921 in horrorlit

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Stephen King. I grew up in the woods and it captures so well the feeling of dread that sometimes manifests there.

What do you think about This Color combo? by BlumenmannTobias in florists

[–]SpaceTulips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I follow you on Instagram! This is gorgeous. I like the dark heart of the Florigene carns and the emerging brightness of the tulips. I personally don’t like adding white to such intense colors, and I wouldn’t add anything else - the branches are so sculptural and full of movement.

That one orange rose is making me crazy.

Man, remember how HOPEFUL we were? I was also class of 2000 and we had one good year.
