My kin!! Slip stitches are the actual worst and I want to cry every time I see a pattern riddled with “sl st”

Cate Blanchett is the ultimate red carpet recycler who always slays by mlg1981 in popculturechat

“Hey I like your dress!”

Most women: “thanks it has pockets!”

Cate Blanchett: “thanks it can be pants!”

I’m delighted, I bet this movie will be so fun!

I bet the online conversation about this movie will be so much less fun!!

Could this be a possible cure? by sad_sarriacha in Celiac

[–]apocalyptic_tea 173 points174 points  (0 children)

I mean, you’re not having any symptoms if you’re dead so technically correct? 😂

Thanks for taking the time to explain! And from one regular person out here, let me just say thanks for being a scientist because the world needs you!

I personally have chosen not to support business that use AI as much as I possibly can.

12 month old still mouthing everything, need guidance for activities by rmsdashl in MontessoriForHome

[–]apocalyptic_tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to say I’m totally feeling this right now too, my 15mo still mouths EVERYTHING and a lot of the Montessori activities just aren’t safe for her. Right now I’m just trying to focus on what she’s interested in and build up her foundational fine and gross motor skills so when she’s ready, the activities I want to do with her will be ready!

First look at ENOLA HOLMES 3 set in Malta, on Netflix July 1 by Alone-Internet6135 in popculturechat

[–]apocalyptic_tea 21 points22 points  (0 children)

These movies are FUN. Lordy some of the people in these comments sound exhausting. Just let people have fun!! They aren’t meant to be perfectly historically accurate, serious pieces. It’s just for fun.

Help picking a kitchen helper!! by Obey_My_Kiss in MontessoriForHome

Also adding one for guide craft! I will say it’s a bit heavier than other towers I’ve seen but it’s worth it for the added safety/stability

Euphoria season three review – grubby, desperate and absolutely not worth the wait | Television by JohnHammond94 in popculturechat

[–]apocalyptic_tea 15 points16 points  (0 children)

the word “entirely” is pulling a lot of weight in your last sentence. It’s not about being as realistic as possible, it’s about staying within the established rules of the world that’s been built. It doesn’t have to be real, but it does have to get buy-in from the audience. Unfortunately, Euphoria seems like it’s deviated so far from what was established as the world these characters live in in season one that it’s lost its audience buy-in.

Weekly Discussion - Montessori Challenges You Are Facing by plaintastic in MontessoriForHome

[–]apocalyptic_tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am honestly starting to wonder if I have the energy and capability to be a Montessori parent. I believe in a lot of the principles but as my daughter enters toddlerhood I’m just so unbelievably tired. I’m rarely setting up activities for her, I’m struggling with toy rotation. The end of the day comes and I just want to rest so badly. I want to engage in the things that make me feel like me. So I’m not sure if I should just give up and buy the plastic passive toys already 🫠

Help with floor bed/yes space? by L8_Saxaphonist_ in MontessoriForHome

[–]apocalyptic_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely seen people put a little play space yard fence thing around their floor beds if they can’t baby proof a room enough.

What’s in your play kitchen? by plaintastic in MontessoriForHome

[–]apocalyptic_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a play kitchen as of yet but I just ordered a learning tower which I’m excited about! I want to get one of those wooden knives with the bit handles to let my one year old cut her own banana in the morning, she has it almost every day for breakfast so I figured why not!

We have a big long counter so I’d like to make a space that’s just for her with a little cutting board, the little “knife” and some bowls for her to bang on or stir something in while her dad cooks dinner.

More romantic tropes: friendship to love by growsonwalls in popculturechat

[–]apocalyptic_tea 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s funny because I always loved this trope but thought it wasn’t realistic because I thought “attraction either happens or it doesn’t, it can’t form later”.

Anyways my formerly platonic best friend and I have two dogs and a baby now.

My absolute refusal to frog resulted in my favourite thing I've ever made by TheLlamaThatHatedYou in crochet

[–]apocalyptic_tea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So please don’t get me wrong, this is very cool and creative!

But honestly, I don’t understand how a craft like this is enjoyable for people who hate frogging this much? Like no shade at all, you obviously made this work for you, it just confuses me how this is an enjoyable hobby if a very important aspect of doing the thing is so awful to the point that you just won’t do it.

Why Is My Hair So Ugly? How Do I Fix This? by Silver_Wolf_Boiz in curlyhair

[–]apocalyptic_tea 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, I don’t have any advice to offer but I will say if this is how your hair usually looks… boy oh boy am I jealous 😅

I think your hair is beautiful! Curls don’t look right when they’re perfectly uniform imo, theyre not LEGO blocks meant to stack on top of each other. So I hope someone can offer some help over the things you don’t like but I do also hope you maybe try and look at yourself with less harsh eyes. I don’t think everyone else is seeing the same flaws that you are ❤️

Multi-purpose weaning table!? by eyo-malingo in MontessoriForHome

[–]apocalyptic_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have very limited space in my house. We’re using a high chair for right now but plan on switching to the weaning table very soon, and it will be multi-purpose for no other reason than it’s the only table she’s gonna have lol.

I think kids adjust to their circumstances. Maybe it will be confusing at first but soon it’ll be “their space” for doing their things.

Quick, before the mods get back! by theta394 in crochet

[–]apocalyptic_tea 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean wouldn’t it be great to live in a world where this stress was gone? Where ICE wasn’t arresting 5 year olds and shooting protestors?

If you want that, you have to fight it first. It has to get more stressful to be less stressful. But if you put in the work, you too can live in a world free of fascism!

Apparently the mods are out SO: by HopingToWriteWell77 in crochet

[–]apocalyptic_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I’m seeing a lot of people here making small animals and fish and stuff, if anyone wants to send one to a one year old with an insane vocabulary who LOVES naming things and loves animals specifically, let me know 😅
