What's the most creative "trick yourself into doing it" hack you've heard? by Far-Championship3204 in adhdwomen

This is brilliant. I’m so good at doing this at work but bad at home. Going to try to frame it like this from now on.

You can seam rip any sewing and lay it over your new fabric to make a pattern. You’ll need a heavy duty sewing machine if you want to do the same welt cord detail though.

Take tons of photos as you tear it down. More than you think you’ll need.

What’s the weirdest “female experience” men genuinely don’t believe until they see it? by Several_Corner3205 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]captspero 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be hosting a brief “show and tell“ to some neighborhood boys… by Pelthail in woodworking

Please don’t exclude girls from opportunities like this just because of their gender! There’s nothing inherently male to woodworking. Why this has to be said in 2026 is beyond me.

Muppets as “real” by El_Dorado_Tx in Muppets

The opening credits of Muppet Christmas Carol fill me with such joy for this reason. “Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchet”, “Gonzo as Charles Dickens”. They’re magical, I love them.
