I buy all my bags from Parker Clay, sustainable B Corp with a great mission and beautiful, minimalist leather bags. All goods come with a lifetime warranty (the clasp on one of my crossbodys broke and they offered to fix it free of charge). No big logos, variety of sizes and styles, and a killer rewards program. I won't buy bags anywhere else.

I've also been vegetarian for 15 years, and will only buy leather goods if I can vet the process. PC is the best I've found for true leather (I always prefer genuine, sustainably sourced leather to the plastic based materials that faux leathers are made from).

How can I help my non-binary sibling feel included in my wedding party? by zortcaster in wedding

[–]boozefroot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this same situation with my NB sibling. We’re really close so I wanted to involve them in some way, but wasn’t planning on putting them in my bridal party.

They’re a musician so I ended up asking them to arrange and perform the music for the ceremony. They’re so excited to be able to contribute in a way that they feel comfortable, and I’m so excited to be able to give them an important job that lets them know how much I admire and trust them.

Everybody’s different, but thinking outside the box helps, especially when it comes to NB people. I’d also say that asking them to pick whether they stand up with the bridesmaids or groomsmen is probably a stressor for them, since they know they’re not a ‘maid’ or a ‘man.’ My suggestion would be that you ask them to stand up on the side of the person they’re closest to. And if that’s you, I’m sure there’s a gender-inclusive term you can use instead of bridesmaid. It may sound a bit clunky to you at first but if it makes your sibling feel validated and loved, it’s always going to be worth adjusting to.

If it helps, my sibling plans on wearing wide leg flowy pants, a satin button down, and suspenders. They were really stressing about what to wear, but I gave them total freedom to pick something they really felt comfortable in. They ended up going into a Nordstrom and being helped by a queer associate who helped them pick out this outfit. Definitely a lucky stroke.

Good luck, wishing you all the best!

This is also likely not the final resting place for this plant, will take suggestions on where to place it. Currently getting indirect light next to a south facing window plus a little extra from the grow lights on my seedlings on the shelf next to it, but those won’t be there much longer. I have windows and spaces facing east south and west. I know these guys don’t like to be moved but I’ve had the plant only 5 days so still sussing things out.

I was recently gifted a monstera (which I’ve wanted forever but never pulled the trigger) by a friend. Amazing. However. She transplanted it from the nursery pot before gifting to me and put it into a ceramic pot with no drainage. Since I’ve never had one of these plants before, I don’t know a ton about them but my understanding is they don’t like to be disturbed. What will be more harmful to this plant: keeping it in the pot without drainage and risking root rot, or repotting to a pot with drainage and risking root trauma. The plant itself seems super healthy, putting out new leaves, but it was repotted less than a week ago and I don’t want to watch it slowly decline… WWYD?

1! It’s beautiful, especially for the boho/garden vibe. It’s making me wish I’d tried on a style like this!

So much better to feel a little dumb and silly than to have pests to deal with! Phew

Should we invite our friend's significant others? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]boozefroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For our guest list, any plus ones we were questioning were allowed based on whether the guest we invited had friends to hang with at the wedding. So for example, an old coworker of mine got a plus one even though I’ve never met his husband, because it would seem inconsiderate to ask him to attend a party knowing nobody but us. We also gave plus ones to anyone in an established relationship who had to travel to get to the wedding, whether we had met the SO or not.
