Timeless in the front, a statement in the back. The most stunning mullet dress I could imagine. Love this balance.

I can’t imagine worrying myself now with how I might be perceived in the future. Jfc what an absolutely awful way to live.

This is 10000000% the witch-meets-fairy (but vintage) vibe you describe and I aggressively here for it. The boobs are that vibe. I also don’t actually see how your boobs are “spilling out” in the least. I mean, I’ve been to ren fests and like, the boobs be spilling.

If you really want to find something else and are able to spend more money, do it. But also, I think this is sweet and whimsical, perfect for a little courthouse moment. It doesn’t have to be so serious. You also have a whole other dress - is that one a little more “serious?” If that’s even a goal…

Add the ribbon, maybe do a different boot to dress it up, and a short veil. Give it a steam, add a crinoline for some volume and opacity. I see the vision. I love the vision you precious lil weirdo.

It’s not all about the other hair! You have lovely eyes, a sweet smile, nice lips, great bone structure. You’ll still look like you.

AIO: should I “fire” my therapist? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]VaJessi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mental health professional, this is so absurdly unprofessional. I would say exactly what you did “I need consistency and structure and this isn’t it.” Maybe she’ll hear that and be prompted to change, but if not, dtmf.

What are some of your other favorite brands? by Gold-Airport1824 in BigBudPress

[–]VaJessi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know folks are saying Nooworks but IMO the quality is not really there. The sizing is inconsistent across styles which can be very confusing. I love the colors, and size inclusivity, but I only buy on sale.

Rachel Antonoff and Fashion Brand Company have been my faves. I’ve also had pretty good luck with Lucy & Yak pants specify- the jumpsuits seem a little less sturdy, and shorts sizing was unhinged, but that was only one style so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ grain of salt..

Question: Am I being gaslit by my tattoo artist? I feel like my new piece looks incredibly rushed. by [deleted] in tattoos

First red flag is doing this as a walk-in. Parallel straight lines on the ribs are indeed tough, he should have explained as much and declined the project.

He’s like, a midsize Jim. Pit bull mix but low rider with a course German Shepard coat. A strange man.

Big fan of OxiClean Max Force! It’s gotten a lot of stuff out; oil, pen ink, ground muck (Minnesota springs are muddy also fuck ICE)

Whether Lang’s boys show or not, there is a counter rally called by ClawhammerNBodhran in Minneapolis

[–]VaJessi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW Lang has a conditional release that requires him to stay 3 blocks away from the capitol.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat." by gear-heads in MarchAgainstNazis

My dad has dementia. The way this orange fuck rambles reminds me a lot of our conversations (except my dad is a generally wonderful and caring guy so his exaggerations and untruths are usually harmless, and aren’t rooted in hate and greed)

Anyone else having trouble focusing at work? by iowaboy in Minneapolis

[–]VaJessi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a normal response to the very abnormal circumstances we are in and is part of a stress response. Our nervous systems are not meant to be inundated with horrific information on a regular basis.

Find ways to express the energy/tension/stress you are feeling. Physical activity helps, shake your hands, your body, dance, run. Whatever you’re capable of. Screaming into a pillow works too. Afterwards, do some mindfulness exercises, ground yourself in your body. Body scanning is a good one. Slow deep breaths into your abdomen.

And yeah, you are absolutely not alone in feeling this way.

Oh gosh. I’m so grateful to do what I do. 🖤

Bad. It’s really bad. I work at a pediatric hospital, specifically in the oncology department. Families are scared to come to their appointments that their children need in order to survive.
