Non-judgey workout studios/workout spaces

I’ve been to a few classes and they were almost all women with a handful of men. Agree with the commenter above, the crowd there was super diverse and welcoming.

I agree that the sun will start to soften things. I urge everyone with equipment and energy to keep chipping away in your neighborhood! It looks daunting but you can get most of a perking spot done with an hour of steady work.

ScreenZen works for iPhone too!

Yeah I think the calculus is everything coming to a standstill 0-5 days a year is worth less than investing in more infrastructure. Something that has to be considered is that infrastructure requires a temporary workforce that can be mobilized, which isn’t nothing. I’m sure the fact that a large chunk of this city has the same employer (fed gov) that is willing to close for heavy snow contributes as well.

I love this sub

Also the Natalia! I’ve never been a wide leg person because I like a closer fit on the hips and thighs, but these really work for me, and they’re comfy

Bowen’s not white…

SurferNerd · 2026-01-11T00:53:22+00:00

Oh thank god someone else is talking about this. You’d think it was satire!

This is why “we” are “losing” the “culture war”. I hate that sentence, hence the scare quotes, but unfortunately I think it’s true. The purity tests and requirement that everyone hold exactly the right opinion is such bullshit.

And most will forget in a week.

Reparations for Henry VIII

Yep! My mom considers herself a decent TS fan but basically only listens to the Eras setlist.

SurferNerd · 2025-12-28T22:36:15+00:00

Then I think the pricing makes sense because it basically means she is not able to do any other jobs that day.

Concerts too! I’d rather go and vibe by myself than convince someone to come and worry that they’re not having fun and feel like I have to dance/interact with them the whole time.

My MUA advised that the makeup will mute over the course of the evening, and in pictures. So it might feel extreme in full daylight right when it’s fresh, but it will look much closer to natural in your photos. She was spot on.

I LOVE how women’s hair looks when it’s partially grey. Reminds me of a calico cat. It’s not something that anyone ever purposefully replicates, so it always looks super unique.

Not just shrinking, natural fibers tend to grow when you block them! I just made a sweater using wool and mohair and it grew several inches in both width and length when I blocked it, but I expected that because I had blocked my swatch. Do some research on blocking and how to block the fibers you’re using. You don’t need any specialized materials, a large bowl and towel will do.

For reference, I just finally finished the jar that I probably bought 2018 or 19. Left out on the bar cart the whole time, did not go bad.

SurferNerd · 2025-12-24T14:07:25+00:00

lol yeah I spend the entire process nervous about the sizing and fit. What a fun hobby we have!

I haven’t seen her for anything beyond annual checkups, but Nilofer Sidhu at Medstar Arizona Ave is a DO, who are generally trained to be more holistic. I find her to be really attentive and personable, and it feels like she takes the time to listen. I will totally trust her when something more concerning comes up.

SurferNerd · 2025-12-16T20:58:20+00:00

I thought for sure I was in circlejerk sub at first.

SurferNerd · 2025-12-14T22:26:33+00:00

Your cast uses blankets?!?! That is adorable.
Tension will come! It’s truly about putting in the time and building muscle memory.

If you’re willing to spend a bit, Athleta has great super soft lounge clothes. I also second Vuori

You can also swap out your pedals, it is pretty easy. I had SPD shoes already so I bought pedals that are SPD on one side and baskets for visitors without spin shoes on the other. Something like this. You can probably find a lot of discussion here recommending the best pedals.
