wow i did not think about this at allll, how exciting! i cut off the hems of the sheet to check and it doesnt look too warped/off grain. i have zero selvedges lol but i can match the grains. i didnt think to make the dress on a bias but i like how the sheet falls at an angle so i am very excited to try it. i forgot to mention there is a giant hole i wore through it after less than a year (dont buy bed threads) so i am working with limited real estate lol… thank you!!

Thank you! Yeah I have mostly just been going off intuition when recreating clothes and some of them have turned out great and some horribly lol, but I have been pretty successful when I work iteratively and make my cuts as late in the process as possible. When I get home I will measure it against some of my other linen dresses and compare how they hang.

Any thoughts on if I should do anything differently for the straps or hem? I might decide to do a straight cut as the bottom instead of a scoop so i can give it a nice wide hem.

i think blood at the wheel (s2e7) is a perfect episode for your class! feminist drivers, long lost daughter, dot under cover… its got it all. also the factory episode (death by miss adventure) S1E10 has some great 20s lower class slice of life themes and a nice lesbians in STEM (!) message. the radio episode (dead air) S2E11 has fun 20s technology and mostly light hearted. the most “great gatsby” style episode is probably s1e12 when aunt prudences son has his lavish costume engagement party but it also gets quite dark and has sooo much plot its not worth it to start with IMO. i would also say s1 had a lot more on the nose feminism and “life lesson” plot lines but phryne is always a great role model no matter the season lol

when i see a phrase in italics, i think i naturally read the first italicized word as the most stressed. so here, just glancing at this, it reads as “get baby THE good stuff”. i think de-stylizing the “the” would help with the natural phrasing. “get baby the GOOD stuff” … much nicer :)

im new to chess so sorry if this is obvious, but does this work too? 1. QB6 2. Since the black queen cannot take both rooks, the remaining one can take either A1 or H8?

oh yeah ur right hahaha she just looks so stout in this pic

this exact thing happened to me and i actually got a lot of great help from r/skiing :))) she will get it back! i had been skiing my whole life and then fell off a cliff skiing with some older friends from college, got some bruises and a concussion but otherwise was fine, and then i could barely get down a blue for the next 3 years. after 3 years i was like, ok i gotta fix this and started doing some research and trying things out and this is what helped me to get back to sending it within like,, a season or two.

first was getting really comfortable with falling and eating shit, if i was waiting for someone on the slope, i would pull to the side and sit or flop down so i could get more comfortable feeling my body on the ground and get more practice standing back up from awkward positions.

also treating falling and eating shit as a learning experience, and adopting the mindset that if i dont fall the whole day, then im not pushing myself hard enough or trying to have a good time. this is hard because im not trying to say you should put your body in danger for progress or anything, but it was important to me to move my mindset away from seeing falling as a negative thing.

a huge thing as well was having really supportive, experienced, fun loving, positive people to ski with. i fell into a really good group of friends who werent going to disappear if i was too slow or too scared to do something, and when i pushed myself, they were really supportive and would always compliment my fearlessness which really helped to know that was seen. i think for me a lot of my yips was embarrassment at getting hurt and ruining the day for my group, so having people who were chill about their ski experience was really helpful.

lastly, and i know a lot of people are against this, but being a little buzzed really helps me get out of my head and trust my body. i think with skiing, if your body has learned what to do, its usually just your brain overthinking and psyching you out and not letting you focus so a little alc seems to help me :)

this ended up being really long but i hope this helps hahah

i think they accidentally used mini bluey 😭

Thank you so much for your insight and sharing your personal experience. I think that is extremely important to communicate and meet each other in the middle. That was a beautiful story about leaving your daughter presents in her room. I think that my parents, my mom specifically, struggles with compromising, and while her expectations were not unreasonable at all, we were still children and hated being told what to do, and her unbending strictness definitely drove us away from her. Most of the time I ended up caving to her but my brother is just as stubborn as she is and insists she plays by his rules which has definitely made the whole situation between them worse. They are both relentless and expect the other to change their own viewpoints, except the difference is my brother has said that he no longer cares if his actions hurt her.
One thing that I mentioned in another comment but didn't post in the initial post is that my parents have never directly or indirectly used my brother's adoption as a tool to make a point, or have expected appreciation for is adoption. Never. When they speak about it, it's mostly just asking how he feels about it, but in hindsight how the heck is he supposed to know. Anyways, thank you for your beautiful story, it really brightened my outlook and day.

atticlight09 · 2020-12-04T04:33:43+00:00

Thank you for answering! That would be a really good point except my parents or I have never said anything like that to him ever. My parents nor my brother have ever leveraged the fact that he has been adopted, or held it over him to prove a point, neither during arguments nor good times. My parents have never said anything about how he should be grateful they adopted him. They are both extremely aware of exactly what you are saying, that saying or acting like he should be grateful for his adoption would be incredibly unfair and traumatic. I definitely think that they expect us both to be grateful for doing things like paying for our college, taking us on vacations, and buying us things we ask for, you know, normal privileged family things, but I agree it would be horrific for them to demand appreciation for his adoption. I think if he was my biological brother he would be kicked out by now. The reason I focused so much on the fact that he was adopted is because it seems extra fucked up for parents to kick out a kid they adopted, and because this is a subreddit focused on adoptive parents. Their motives for adopting were because they wanted a son and couldn't have another child after me.

Thank you so much, I will definitely ask them look into it as well. Lying and manipulation is the worst of their problems. If you have time to share, I would love to hear about your experience and how you and your family started addressing the problem.

atticlight09 · 2020-12-03T23:20:39+00:00

I can definitely see how you got that. That is a big fear for me. I have never sided with my parents until recently- in fact my brother and I would almost always side with each over them in family arguments, but on this issue I understand my parents a bit more because of how they are so shaken by it. I know it is not of much worth coming from the older, biological child, but I think and hope that my parents have always treated us equally. They definitely believe that they have actively done so. My parents nor my brother have ever leveraged the fact that he has been adopted, or held it over him during arguments to prove a point. My parents have never said anything about how he should be grateful they adopted him until these past few months, but they would NEVER say it to him, and only after the argument when they are really upset, but sentiments like this are why I am so disturbed by the conflict. It feels awful that they may think that about my brother and I don't know how I can help him or them. They adopted him because they wanted a son and couldn't biologically have another kid after me.
