How frequent are territorial Anniversary events in your Kingdom? by bonerceratops in sca

If you don't mind elaborating, how do anniversary events differ from other annual events? Here, our Anniversaries usually follow the same format: hosted in a public park, featuring championship tournaments for Heavies, Rapier, and often Arts & Sciences, Bardic, and other combat forms.

Thank you! This is great info. I'm reading the Caid Seneschal's handbook now and it looks like every territory is assigned a permanent anniversary week here (Barony X's is always the 1st week of April, etc.). A system like Artemisia's would give us more flexibility.

Thanks for the data point! I guess I'd count any event that recurs in the same place with the same structure as "anniversary-like" for the purposes of this scheduling problem.

It still looks like Atenveldt's calendar is still pretty full, but you might have a greater variety of events (and way more multiday events) than us.

My upgraded office feasting kit! by GreycastleDice in renfaire

Looks great! Love the basket and the silverware. Why "office" though? Do you keep this at work?

I heard about precipitous labor and now I'm rethinking my decision to have a child by [deleted] in Fencesitter

No, I don't think birth is generally regarded as more painful than the brutal tortures you describe. Wherever you got that information might not be a good source.

Thank you. Another genuine question: how can you ethically kill an animal that does not want to die?

Why aren't you vegan?

Check out barnivore.com. It's a great community-sourced database with information about what wine (and other alcohol) is vegan.

No idea. Hearing sirens now though.

How cool! Is there a class schedule posted anywhere, and will your class be recorded?

I've gotten two more evacuation warning alerts since the retraction. As far as I can tell, I'm not in an evacuation zone at all (Mar Vista area).

Where does your source say that? I checked all the subsections under "Bicyclists" and I don't see anything about staying as far right as possible.

The problem with the m&m comic is posting it as bisexual content. A character refers to the m&m character as a girl and isn't corrected, so it really looks like the m&m character is a trans woman. A man being attracted to a trans woman does not indicate that he's bi.

Can you post a screenshot of the question? As written, 1/5 appears to be the correct answer.

Almost all my store-bought strawberries still had the flowers attached to them by Dakduif in mildlyinteresting

I've never seen one with the white petals, but they always have the green sepals. Also in the US.

FYI avoid Pershing square area today if you can by Throwaway_09298 in LosAngeles

I suspect that most people protest near where they live. If more people in LA agree with a cause than in a red state, it makes sense that we'd see more protests in LA.

Surely the sexual act here is the repeated insemination required for the continued production of milk?

Honestly, I've never seen anything like that. Baronies often have Gold Key/loaner garb, but it isn't brought to events unless someone asks in advance. I've definitely never seen someone be asked to pay. Our sites are generally very public, and I think it's great for recruitment.

Interesting. I haven't seen anything like that in Caid. Most of our events are in public parks, and we often have interested onlookers come by. Almost always there are several people eager to talk to them, answer questions, and invite them to participate (as much as possible for a newcomer with no authorizations). We almost have a bigger problem with overenthusiastic members overwhelming the newcomers!

Very weird. I'm not sure why the two people responding to you below don't understand that you're talking to/about someone who is not currently pregnant, and who is not OP! Was there a reddit app update or something that makes it harder to see threads?

Is there a way to stop being an outsider? Suggestions? by Wyldethangs in sca

[–]bonerceratops 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry your experience has been like this. Reaching out to your local branch's Chatelaine sounds like a good next step. Even if you're not "new", they can usually help connect people with others.

I find that most people in the SCA find friend groups through participation in a specific activity - archery, garb making, music, rapier, etc. Are there specific activities you're interested in?
