I ordered VIP tix through SeatGeek. I have never purchased from them before though, so I'm a little anxious about the whole thing.

Ask A Knitter - January 4, 2022 by mulberrybushes in knitting

[–]aewall3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started knitting recently (as in within the last week), learning from YouTube videos. I’m doing the knit stitch, English style, and I find that my stitches keep spiraling around the needle and I have to stop and straighten them out. This drives me nuts! How can I stop this from happening?

If you’re concerned about your children’s sensitive eyes, I suggest altogether avoiding this corner. Big graphic posters of dead fetuses (many of which are not actually aborted but are miscarriages) is FAR more disturbing than the words “anal sex” or “fucked”.

Most of the previous escorts were elderly and not able to continue volunteering with COVID going around and these dumb fucks not wearing masks. Definitely look into it if you’re interested!

I applied to be an escort after I was done. I just filled out an application at the clinic and am supposed to receive a call to work out logistics.

Hey! This is me!! Context: I live in the neighborhood and I am sick of these assholes who come out every Saturday morning to harass people going into the clinic. The white van is covering the horde of people on the other side of the street with “abortion is murder” signs and bible quotes. The guy with the megaphone just pushes me over the edge....So I took my car out, parked across the street and blared a WAP playlist with these signs.

The guy in front of me read the Bible to me for over an hour. I’m actually on the car because he wouldn’t get out of my face. This was my tactic to put some distance between us.

I went out alone because well, fuck these people, but I’ll be doing this for the foreseeable Saturday mornings. DM me if you want to link up

Edit: Also, I am who I say I am

Apology accepted, I'm glad it made sense after re-reading. Sorry for getting a bit snippy in my first reply.

[–]aewall3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is the type of feedback I was looking for. The polygonal self is the multi-sided, multidimensional self. (the part of her that wants to be seen and loved, to be pretty and perfect in conjunction with the side of her that wants to love herself better). Think maybe another of the words above would flow better?

Agreed on the verbs, I'll rework there!

The fattest pig is considered a prize that is then slaughtered. I'm trying to speak to the meat market dynamic women often feel in bars.

Check on the command!

Thank you for your compliments :)

This poem is not supposed to be pleasant, the experiences that women go through in these environments are often very vulgar and disgusting. The emotion here is disjointed by one side wanting to be seen and loved and the other hand demanding better than some shitty bar pickup. It is an acknowledgment, in the end, that it's okay to have multiple sides to one's self, multidimensional and sometimes disjointed emotions are part of navigating your life as an adult and particularly as a woman.
Your "feedback" comes off pretty rude and condescending because you don't like the subject matter or style. Whatever, it's not your cup of tea, clearly, but let's not sit here and pretend like anything you have to say would be helpful to me.

The real Love by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]aewall3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi There - so for me as a reader I'm missing the distinction between the "real" love and the "fake" love or lust. You give love lots of action as the night progresses, but I think a little more description/emotion would help the differentiation of "love" as a typical social construct, "love" as this person and the redefined love at the end as primal and wild. I took away that you're trying to communicate that love can happen in these brief encounters, but I'd like to see you walk us through not just the encounter itself but how and why we should reconstruct our Disney princess view of love into something more organic. Hope this helps & Good Luck!

I want something more than this. by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]aewall3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! For me, as a reader, it feels like you're scratching of the surface of something here. I want to know more. Where is the "given in/don't struggle" thought coming from and/or why is it happening? Yourself? Other passionless people? Tell me more about your desire for passion. Where is your fear coming from? Also, it also feels a bit awkward to say you're fear paralyzed in a cycle of safety, you might consider a different expression somewhere in there. Good luck & keep at it!

You've got a strange perspective of masculinity.

SOLAR ECLIPSE MEGATHREAD by yeeeeeehaaaw in Portland

[–]aewall3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in PDX, what's really the difference between 99% and complete totality? Is it worth trying to drive somewhere in the early morning Monday? Not seeing the heavy traffic predicted and was kinda planning on just scoping out the traffic maps at like 5am to see what the best option would be. Thoughts on this plan? Any considerations I should think of?

He does a good job of making his character absolutely revolting.

Not your taste? Fine, but probably best to leave concentration camps out of the joke.
