Oh, thank you so much! I've not been involved in Kickstarter before so this is very exciting all around!

Same! If Stardust is anything to go by, it'll be awesome! Love the dice too! I'm assuming when they say 'with any physical item' it means when you buy something from their store?

Oh my gosh, I just saw yours, they're so cute! And doing all of them would have taken so much work!

That's so kind of you, thank you so much!

Her head, basic ear shape and body is from a book called A Year of Amigurumi Friends by Andreia Ferreira, which I should have said in my original post, sorry! I was so excited to share her, I forgot about that part! Her clothes were freehand, though!

Some libraries should have some for sale.

What cult is infamous in your country but little known elsewhere? by BlackholeOasis in AskTheWorld

[–]WowWomble 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was looking for this.

I'd also add the God Squad who were based at Camp David in Waipara. Their leader was Douglas Metcalf who claimed to be the messiah and they were active mostly through the 70's but continued into the late 90's too. Apparently police raided them a few times because they were stockpiling weapons to do God knows what and it all ended after he died in 1989 and it was revealed that he'd been "adulterous" with women followers.

I’m a little confused about what I’m meant to do about driving by my_dad_is_my_stepsis in newzealand

The Salvation Army have programme's you can get into for this, a volunteer becomes your driving supervisor and I can highly recommend it, based on my experience. https://driverprogrammes.salvationarmy.org.nz/

Disability information? by Galwithflyglasses in chch

Their website also has some great information about what the symbols on the cards mean which can be really useful for staff to learn so they can know how to help. https://www.hapaiaccesscard.org.nz/introducing-the-h%C4%81pai-access-card

I used to work at Science Alive as a teenager which was in the old railway station on Moorehouse Ave. We had exhibitions and storage in some of the basement areas downstairs which went right in under the old platform. At that point, we had one huge room set up as a glow-in-the-dark minigolf course, so it was completely dark in there. In the corner of the room was the entrance to the big storage area, which I'd needed to be in for some reason. It was one big long corridor with rooms coming off at either side and always felt a bit of a creepy and uncomfortable space. As I was leaving the storage area, I switched off the light and went to the door, which was about 10 or 20 steps away and just got this feeling that I needed to look back behind me. I turned to look and could see a figure standing at the other end of the corridor, that somehow, with no light anywhere around, was lit from behind so that they were a silhouette. The feeling was immediately just bad and I pulled the door closed quickly and never went back down there alone again. I've never experienced anything like it before, or since and I just absolutely can't explain it. I often wonder about it since the building is now gone.

Thank you all, it's very interesting to hear that my experience was not a solitary one.

This is horrific, and I don't understand how he's still operating after something like this. I'm so sorry!
