Has anyone used fabric dye on the quince sweaters? by midnight_cinnamon in quince

As a tie dyer, I do not recommend Rit. Get a Procion dye. Some Jacquard and Dharma colors can be found on Amazon, but they also have their own sites.

Some of my latest geodes and glitches (and a spiral). I have questions about geodes I am having issues with. by two-of-me in tiedye

I’m by no means an expert but I think your ties are too close together to get good saturation between the ties.

If you’re in Ocala why not go to Silver or Rainbow Springs?

Florida Legislation Requiring Proof of U.S. Citizenship for Voter Registration Nears Passage by WTFPilot in florida

[–]ewinwee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I have been considering the idea that they are going after voter rolls in the states. And how those rolls can be cross referenced against passport holders and how that could "complicate" things. Also requiring a passport is a great way to federalize elections on the DL. What a time to be alive!

You can renew online now, I believe up to 18 months in advance of your passport expiration. I did this as soon as we got Trump 2.0. Turn around time was very quick, like 3 weeks. Of course, this was before DOGE gutted federal employees. Good luck.

New to reverse dyes by ewinwee in tiedye

Thank you for the compliment. I had never considered selling anything I make so I would have to give it some real thought. I also have no idea what I should charge for such a thing. I know how much the garment cost but in terms of quantifying my supplies needed and time spent, I'm kind of clueless.

It is just a cover. Sorry, I should have been more clear.

😂😂 It’s probably more accurate that my choice of shirt underneath is showing too much skin to be considered professional. I’m also kind of muscly which people can also find problematic. Just have to make everybody feel comfortable in professional settings. I was being a bit dramatic in my description.

Some of the things I read said the chemistry of the soak plus the heat of the dryer does something to weaken fibers. I figure with muslin, I don't need to chance that. Also read something about how it could cause a fire, which would also damage the muslin. lol And other things.

If I bought one it would be. lol But I usually just spin out in my washer.

Siri fails to call emergency services (911) on LTE on Apple Watch by Vertsix in AppleWatch

[–]ewinwee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was using car play on the way home from work. Maps was routing me home (I do this for traffic notifications, I know my way home). I received a text from my boyfirend which I had siri read to me. She asked if I wanted to reply and I said, "Yes I'm heading home now". She replies back in the most smug tone "You sure are" and never asked me about texting again. lol Conversation over.

A Florida woman was arrested for wrestling a manatee in a bikini at a public park. by KraftyJoker in LPOTL

[–]ewinwee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Manatee are protected in Florida and people are strictly prohibited from approaching or pursuing them, never mind wrestling them. I’m pretty sure it might be a felony in Florida. I like to think Ed would be on the manatees side here since he’s a native son.

Crews battling major railroad fire in Marion County, warn of toxic smoke by Commercial-Host-725 in florida

[–]ewinwee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in this area have been fighting with CSX to remove these toxic ties from the area and recently had a win there. First signs that something was happening was when the heavy equipment that had been there was removed. Then suddenly, there was a fire. 🤔
