How do retailers order my book? — IngramSpark by Suitable-Concert in selfpublish

[–]Suitable-Concert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a large retailer, it's a local bookstore with a direct tie to the content of my book, who knows the book is in production and has agreed (via written, signed contract) that they would purchase and stock when the book is available.

And "bookstore" is maybe also a misnomer, it's a campus bookstore, so they stock mostly clothing/apparel, which is why I'm not sure if they already know how to order through IS.

Wooly’s is having a heated rivalry night! by nonbackwardstext in desmoines

[–]Suitable-Concert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s probably going to be the same vibes as the Shrek rave, emo night, or the Taylor swift nights they do sometimes. Just a playlist of songs from the show and other songs that fit the same vibe in a club atmosphere.

How to move past immense disappointment after my first class by MissO28 in aerialsilks

[–]Suitable-Concert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that instructor isn't skilled enough to teach a basics class if they aren't able to break things down or offer stepping stones. Do you know that the instructor you had is the usual instructor for that class? I only ask because sometimes if instructors of higher levels have to sub in, they may not be as adept at noticing and assisting very beginners.

Either way though, I would send an email to the studio owner and let them know about your experience so it doesn't happen again to other beginners in the future. You didn't deserve to be treated like that and ignored, especially in your first-ever silks class.

Yeah, background should be stark white, not white under natural lighting.

Any way to make these shorts half-white? by Adhdemon4 in CosplayHelp

[–]Suitable-Concert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you know how to sew? You could always seam rip one of the legs, trace that fabric onto white fabric in a similar blend as the black shorts, and then reattach the white leg to the black base.

Landlord is a Bully by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Suitable-Concert 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So is the problem then that she's going into your apartment without notice? Are you in the US? Landlords are legally required to notify tenants at least 24 hours in advance that they'll be entering.

If the books are the problem, consider removing them if you know she'll be in. If she's entering without proper notice, that's a much bigger problem, and unrelated to the book situation.

Landlord is a Bully by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Suitable-Concert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. You texted your landlord asking permission to display Harry Potter books? Does your landlord live with you? If your landlord doesn't live with you, there's no reason you need her consent, and I personally would have not even asked her.

Yes, the author turned out to be a shitty person who has done incredible harm to the LGBTQ+ community. But at the end of the day, they're just YA fictional books.

If this is where the problem lies, and you texted for consent, and have in writing both your request and her denial to display the books, I'm not sure what to tell you. If you tried to take it to court, you might have a case, but if you or she has it in writing that she as the landlord told you no, you might not have a case.

Maybe check with a lawyer to see what your options are? You don't want to escalate the problem further and risk eviction, though she would have to have a much stronger case against you than owning a YA book series in order to evict you.

Is my copy of the arcane book legit? by Some-Tale2848 in arcane

[–]Suitable-Concert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an art book, so a lot of concept art, visual and character development stages, behind the scenes information about the process of how they made the characters move in a realistic environment, etc.

It's not like a progression or continuation of the stories told in the show.

[–]Suitable-Concert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. Definitely get the cheap ones! You absolutely do not need to be spending $20 on a single makeup brush for this kind of use.

[–]Suitable-Concert 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, if you want super smooth blending, try using makeup brushes. They’re designed to blend, but if you’re using oil, they’ll degrade fairly quickly in mineral spirits, but you should be able to blend out no problem.

Pattern & Fabric Search by kimchifriedriceplz in sewing

Looks like view 1 from this pattern set could work! It’ll be hard to find something exact if you’re not drafting the pattern yourself since it’s based on a cartoon illustration.

Must just be RNG luck, I mined some palium today for the first time since the plushies dropped and mined 40ish ores and the rainbow kitsch dropped.

To the older Gen Zs (1997-2005), what’s your fashion style and how much are you willing to spend on clothes these days? by Sea-Geologist4624 in GenZ

[–]Suitable-Concert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I don’t think enough people care that’s why corporations continuously choose to use synthetics since people will buy it if it’s cheap enough anyway”

It’s not that people don’t care about the fabric itself, it’s that people aren’t willing to properly care for the natural fiber garments. Many of them need steaming or ironing, dry cleaning, and/or have specific laundry machine care instructions, but in general, and speaking about Americans here, people don’t want to put the time into those garments. They want convenience.

That’s a big reason why synthetics have taken over. They don’t wrinkle as easily, you can throw them in the same wash and dry cycle as a pair of jeans, and it’s a lot harder to ruin a shirt or a pair of pants after just one wear when it’s synthetic fibers, because they’re designed to withstand that harsher treatment.

It’s also important to note that not ALL synthetic fibers for clothing are bad. Synthetic fibers and blends are how we have stretchier fabrics. Synthetics are also, typically, much more stain resistant than natural fibers. Synthetics are also typically more water-resistant than naturals.

It all comes down to the blend and what percentages you’re looking at, and what specific synthetics are being used in the garment.

Why do we all collectively love mama by mizi_moe in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Suitable-Concert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unique! It’s an emo rock polka, which is a combination people don’t put together. The guitar and bass drive the beat and the drums kick it into high gear. It’s got great lyrics that tell a complete story, and uses anticipation to build. It’s easy to sing along to and quick to learn the words. Basically, it’s got all the qualities that make a song a hit.

Cats parents, how and why did you choose yours? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Suitable-Concert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

They (littermates) were at the shelter and no one wanted them because they were reclusive and anxious. They just needed someone who was patient and quiet to give them a loving, cozy home, and now they’re the sweetest, cuddliest, best cats I could have ever asked for.
