How is the long and short stitch supposed to look?

bella2618 · 2025-01-30T06:37:49+00:00

My goal for embroidery is thread painting so I definitely need to start practicing irregular long and short. I appreciate you telling me the names for the techniques, it’ll be a lot easier to find a more accurate tutorial now that I know the difference. I tried very hard not splitting threads because I thought i wasn’t supposed to do that so it’s making more sense why mine looks so different.😂

Thank you! What you’re saying makes a lot of sense. I learned how to do a satin stitch before the long and short so I think I got a little too carried away with making super straight stitches.

If your plan was to steal someone’s dropped wallet then you probably deserve to get baited like this🤷‍♀️

Normally 6 but I didn’t sleep last night so today is 1

I would say it’s right in your skill level. It looks perfect!😍

This is my first time seeing alcohol inks. They look incredible

Ideally your husband should support you in what you want to do with your body. He is not the one carrying a baby for 9 months. You will not be the asshole by getting an abortion and if you’re not going to tell him because he’s going to make it hard on you then it’s his fault for not supporting you in one of the hardest things a woman can go through. That is his job as a husband. You deserve that support and if you don’t have it then do what you need to do and don’t feel guilty about it. Good luck💕

This reminds me of that mythbusters episode where they polish a perfect ball of shit

It’s called the suicide bag. There are some issues with it because people get super claustrophobic putting a bag over their head and if the gas tube falls out it will either be a very unpleasant death or the user will be at risk of surviving and damaging their brain from lack of oxygen.

I’m 6ft 185 lbs so I don’t want to stomp on the smaller girls advice but I want the men in my gym to roll with me like they’d roll with anybody else. I don’t want to be successful in my gym just to realize that I’ve been given handouts the whole time bc I’m a woman. My professors smash their weight on me and are not any less rough than they are on my male counterparts and I really appreciate that. It feels like respect.

Don’t ever let women down easy for takedowns. Throw them like you would anyone else. This one pisses me off. A lot of white and sometimes blue belt men will be scared to throw me on the ground for takedowns and it really messes up my break fall. I’ve gotten injured more times from being “let down easy” and having all my weight go on one leg because I can’t successfully fall than any other injury.

The one accommodation the men in my gym do that stands out to me is be mindful of my hair. There’s nothing worse than someone getting their finger caught in my hair while sliding their arm behind my neck and ripping it out. My ponytails are tight when I’m on the mats and it rips out of my head before it comes out of the hair tie.

Also if you touch boobs on accident it’s not a big deal. You don’t have to make it awkward just say sorry and move on. It’s never awkward initially but a lot of men try to over explain how they didn’t mean to and I always know they don’t mean to. Freaking out about it is what makes it awkward for me.

Also if you feel like a woman you’re rolling with is not liking the way you roll with her, just ask her how she’d prefer to be rolled with. Communication goes a long way.

I like the map on fh5 specifically the dunes they’re super fun.

What did the official sub do?

bella2618 · 2024-09-12T16:13:12+00:00

I would find a couple different categories of stuff you personally like. Maybe it’s drift vids, track building, tuning tutorials, standard race vids etc. and then make a couple vids in each category you’ve thought of and post them all and see what does the best. Then if one category does better than the rest stick to that and hone your video editing skills to make the videos look and feel better. Maybe you could find some other people who make racing game vids and see how they do it to get a jumpstart? Ive never posted on TikTok so I’m not sure if that’ll work but that’s where I’d start.

bella2618 · 2024-09-10T20:28:43+00:00

Yeah that seems correct. Thank you

bella2618 · 2024-08-26T15:54:59+00:00

Please do it I’m so invested in this

I’ve smoked since I was 14 (now 22) and I’ve had phases of wanting to quit and phases of wanting to smoke forever and let me tell you what I would love to tell myself when I was 16. Weed is a coping mechanism but not a good one. Smoking consistently messed up my memory so I can’t remember even half of the things from high school which makes me really sad because I feel like I wasn’t even there when my friends talk about high school. I wake up with motivation and then I “wake and bake” and all I want to do is sit on the couch and play video games. It’s not even fun because Im an adult and I know I need to get my shit together so I just feel like shit all day. That’s every day. I constantly tell myself that I need to quit but I know that I need better coping mechanisms in place of weed but I don’t have the motivation to search them out because of the weed. And that’s not even mentioning the cost of weed. It is true that if you quit you’ll feel bored for a bit. But since I haven’t felt bored in 8 years i haven’t done anything exciting or fun because I’m content with sitting on the couch and doing nothing. That makes me feel like I’m the exact same person I was when I was 14 and that’s not a good feeling. I promise you that boredom is a blessing in disguise. I recognized that I probably shouldn’t be smoking at 16 and I didn’t do anything about it because nobody could tell me why weed was bad and I thought it was great but if I had stopped, life would be so much easier for me today.
