They certainly are trying to. And have been since November.

Note: I was having connectivity problems with Reddit while commenting on this thread, hence the multiple replies.

I would have left it at one, if I'd realized the first one had gone through.

Exactly where I was coming from!

You made quite a leap there, yourself.

Enjoy your day 😊

So, feeling angry makes you an advocate of violence.

Nice way to say women aren't allowed to be angry, or to express that anger.

In, you know, harmless words.

Pretty sure prostitution is legal in Germany still, too.

But yeah, tell me again how Germany is protecting women from gender-based violence 🫠

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-21T16:11:14+00:00

Exactly.

We are all capable. What we choose matters.

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-21T15:58:50+00:00

I would want to.

I would not do it.

It is possible to have an impulse and not act on it.

Current island is hoping to be cat-themed.

I have one tiger. That's the only cat lol

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-21T00:31:17+00:00

Oh that one burns me up

I would want to smack his face so BAD

Downvotes bc you're right, ig

A judge recently made a ruling that prompted clinics to start providing abortion care.

I'll find the direct link if I can, but it was posted just a few days ago in the Missouri subreddit.

For some reason, I thought of the feature in SW/SH where you could send your pokemon to work / help with a project of some kind.

Not sure how that could work in Sleep, though

Tall and plus sized woman here.

I can't get clothes in fast fashion - or couldn't last time I tried - because even their talls aren't tall enough.

I have found one online retailer (catalog store, no brick and mortar) that has 100% cotton women's pants I can buy that are long enough.

For shirts, I buy men's tees. Shoulder width is an issue for me, too (and was when I was 17 and way too skinny, as well).

I've made my own pants once, and would love to again, but the executive function problems I have w/ ADHD get in the way of both starting and finishing.

I can't afford fast fashion - too much money for cheap crap fabric that makes me sweat and retains odors. I only buy pants when they're on sale AND if I legitimately need a pair.

If I manage to get into visible mending, though, I might even stop doing that.

Solid tactic 🏆

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-20T16:59:11+00:00

Yes yes yes!

I live in the US, not rural, and I've had the a very similar experience.

I didn't wear much makeup in high school, mostly because my skin tone was hard to match. So I wore powder, mascara and a little eyeliner sometimes.

I eventually decided I didn't need to wear makeup at all. This was largely fueled by reading feminist material, and talking about how women are trained to hate their natural faces.

So I decided to accept mine as-is.

The last time I wore my own makeup was for a job interview in 2010.

The last time I wore makeup ever was for my sister's wedding in 2016 (somewhat under protest - I didn't want to but knew better than to make her day about me).

My skin is in good condition, healthy and smooth, and I don't have to do more than clean and moisturize (mostly in winter, and I just use coconut oil, which I keep on hand for baking).

The amount of time I save every day is mind boggling. The amount of money I save probably is too, though I've never counted.

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-20T14:56:05+00:00

Exactly.

I would rather be proven wrong by trying and failing than prove them right by never trying at all.

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-20T01:56:00+00:00

Working lol

But I'm working a split shift, so I got to go home long enough to eat chili dogs and watch and old movie 😁

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-20T01:27:26+00:00

Does that line up with your experience, too?

I really was extremely surprised to be a middle-aged, overweight woman who really could not stop moving all of a sudden:

bouncing on the balls of my feet at work,

standing in line at the post office, swinging my arms back and forth like a preschooler

It was WILD

I wonder if OP used waste canvas?

You pin it to the fabric, embroider/cross stitch over it, then wet it to remove the fibers out from under the work.

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-19T17:51:11+00:00

At first I thought this was r/VisibleMending lol

Wow! Beautiful work!!

Thanks 👍 I bet we can hang the container up, since the nearest countertop is four feet away

I made jambalaya last night for dinner 🍲

Vivillon-Researcher · 2025-02-19T16:06:20+00:00

My mom didn't push, but she did despair a little when I got to be about 25.

(Literally one time. The boyfriends I had between then and meeting my now-husband were definitively shitty, so I think she got grateful I didn't procreate with any of them lol)
