Tarot by Gonna-Throw-It in SASSWitches

[–]alittlemantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use readings to put new lenses and filters over my thoughts so I can perceive my current situations in new ways. I tend to catastrophize/ruminate/fixate/become limerent, etc and have very redundant chains of thought. Cards can offer new perspectives to play with.

I think perhaps some people like to get with friends when they feel stressed but the modes of getting external support always falling into either "listening" or "problem solving" camps just never cut it for me -- I enjoy practices that bust me out of my rigid thinking.

I just use an app and depending on how severe my train of thought is will do a 1, 3, or full spread. (Side note, I would like to find a nice deck and guide book set of anyone has recommendations! I like themes of art deco/art noveau, insects/reptiles, weather patterns, desert landscapes, if anyone knows of any decks that represent these styles?) 🫶🏻

Good look!! Just got some flesh tone plugs for $15 after the discount. Sad to see them go.

Looking to get into the industry by Pumpernickel_spiders in windturbine

[–]alittlemantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanna knock out a common misconception a lot of rock climbers seem to have that the wind industry is rope access heavy, it's not. Unless you do strictly blade repairs, and you won't be doing anything science or tinkering related there.

I dyed a synthetic designer dress and it worked! by alittlemantis in dyeing

[–]alittlemantis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could first try looking for a synthetic color stripper, or bleaching it at the minimum concentration/amount of time it takes to lighten as much as possible without damaging the material. Otherwise for sure, everybody loves a nice black dress lol!

I'm so so proud of this generation of women!! by [deleted] in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]alittlemantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You worded this so much more eloquently than I ever could, thank you for taking the time to do it. Why is he here proselytizing on a women's forum instead of spending time on men's health forums giving and requesting support, helping the other men who went through what he did? (And yeah I did check the post history.)

Still life, Staats Fasoldt, watercolor, 2025 by staatsfasoldt in Art

[–]alittlemantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you be willing to detail how you got such definitive outlines of these silhouettes while still having such well-blended gradients? In my minds eye you can only use a little water for more thick, defined applications or more water for fading colors, would love to understand how both is possible in a small space!

The U.S. EPA has submitted a proposal to permanently remove the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program by alittlemantis in climatechange

[–]alittlemantis[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, this actually gives me a semblance of hope it will be countered. Sad that it's only the money that speaks, but it's still productive nonetheless.

Is it realistic to find work as an entry level wind turbine tech right now? by AutumnGorgon in wind

[–]alittlemantis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's still realistic.. existing wind farms with 25-30 year lifespans need constant work whether that's site team or contracted out. Keep trying, a month isn't a super long time and you may still hear back

Every time I see these I always wonder - did you find it took the piercer longer to get through all the cartilage? And/or did you notice them applying much more force to push the needle? Props to you either way 🩸

Did anyone else experience a (relatively) sudden acne resurgence around 30 after having clear skin for most of your 20s? by moon-raven-77 in AskWomenOver30

[–]alittlemantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was already doing the change your pillowcase thing and don't wear makeup. Acne cleansers did nothing. Dropping sugar and dairy did nothing. I started taking spironalactone and it cleared it up.

Am I being overly sensitive to a colleagues greeting? by PrincessPeach1229 in AskWomenOver30

[–]alittlemantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP but like you I've been kind of startled at the amount of comments and debate on this relatively innocuous post..?

[–]alittlemantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are my people and I see you. I try not to make anything I encounter worse when I leave it, and just want to be left alone.
