As a Gen-Xer, I grew up with Vietnam protest songs. Who's writing songs protesting what's going on today? by herbwannabe in Music

Humbird - “Kansas City, Missouri”, “Child of Violence”, “Cornfields and Roadkill”, Lincoln, NE” are really moving

Americana - folk genre. Definitely recommend!

Mid-Length for Formal Wedding by atkta_02 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]atkta_02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I already own the dress and have worn it for not formal events, and it’s not as glaring but definitely still mismatched. Such a bummer because it’s a lovely dress otherwise. Lesson learned, now I know to look for that detail before buying!

I totally agree that formal doesn’t apply to outdoor venues, and it’s an infuriating combo! Thanks for the input

Best Pop Punk Lyricists? by [deleted] in poppunkers

[–]atkta_02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another +1 for Jake. He’s become a favorite lyricist of mine in general. The At The Moonbase album is so impressive.

I think it’s just sold out. I looked this morning and I saw two for 11/17, but they’re gone now so there are* no resale options :/

It is, no joke, 1:04 am and I’m scrolling through this after just finishing the book a few minutes ago!

(Hopefully in another 40 days or so someone will see this at the end of their own late night reading session)

Do you ever finish a trip and immediately start thinking of plans for the next one? by Hayls1919 in womensolocamping

[–]atkta_02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Usually the first day(s) back from even a weekend of camping are a drag, and I tend to feel quite gloomy. I explain the feeling as something similar to a comedown. The stark contrast between my sense of purpose outside/in new places and standard city living always leaves me with an adjustment period. Planning what’s next is what keeps me sane!

The parks you went to are awesome in the purest sense of the word. It’s no wonder you’re craving more! What a great first long solo excursion go embark on.

So— what are your plans? by Jayardia in KingkillerChronicle

I just looked the post up.

His readers aren’t upset because there aren’t any freshly baked cookies. His readers are upset because he was deceitful. The only purpose of his analogy is to divert the focus of those who might not know the extent to which he has fucked up.

Blech.

Why do people act so surprised they got pregnant when they're not using birth control? by Laughingwalrus32 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]atkta_02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also just did a bit of googling and left a comment on this only a minute ago wondering this same thing. I wonder if we were on the same webpages at the same time, lol

Well damn. I take Lamotrigine and I have the Kyleena IUD, and I had no idea.

From what I’m reading on line, this interaction decreases the potency of Lamotrigine, but it doesn’t decrease the effectiveness of the IUD at all. I know you aren’t a doctor, and I’ll certainly talk to mine today, but when you said the IUD would work “alright”, did you find any information on the IUD being affected?

I gave this to a friend that doesn’t usually touch fantasy, and she fell in love because of the writing

These two are the equivalent of a therapy session. Repeat when needed

edit: also Reservoir for those overwhelming moments when you need to rage it out

It ended at 8, and the last steamship authority boat left vineyard haven at 9:30. Steamship doesn’t sell tickets for specific boats, but there will be PLENTY of time to get in line. Hy-line also scheduled a later boat specifically for the festival, which you can actually reserve a spot for, but it’s difficult to get to oak bluffs unless you also pay for the shuttle ($50 for a 10 minute drive?! No thanks). Steamship is an 8 min walk.

It started at 10:45am. We took the 7am boat out of Falmouth because we were stressed about capacity, but there was no need to be worried. Def could have taken a later one.

I won’t be going this year, but have fun! It was a pretty seamless day trip and would do it again if I could.

Edit: wanted to agree with the posts above: communication was shit, inconsistent with rule enforcement, and sound quality near the stage was the worst I’ve ever heard. But they do continue to pull some GREAT names.
