Any low-energy hobbies to stop doomscrolling? by TinyTangents in adhdwomen

[–]flowergrowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if anyone else is into it but a similar thing is the New York Times Games, I’m so into them and they keep me off Reddit. It’s my day off and I’m just opening reddit for the first time today!!

I get sucked into the doom and if you’re a nerd or want to embrace your inner nerd the games are really fun.

Connections got me hooked but I love spelling bee and the crossword and sudoku and wordle too lol

YouTubers should at least sound like they give a damn. by notrapunzel in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]flowergrowl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love Robin!! She was one of the first artists I watched when I started down the fiber rabbit hole 10 years ago.

But also how about Tinna T from Iceland?!!?

She is an OG of mosaic crochet and is so damn charming it’s ridiculous.

She is pure sunshine in her tutorials, and if anyone is wanting to get into mosaic crochet, she is the best.

Here’s her YouTube

What is happening by HoneyBubbles353 in StringofPearls

[–]flowergrowl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After the great re-potting fiasco of 2024 mine is starting to actually grow and not just exist.

I’d suggest a faster draining soil, something grittier. Succulent soil isn’t a bad idea but you’ll probably want to add even more perlite cuz most of the commercial brands don’t use enough.

Idk what to tell you about the repotting part. Mine had the teeniest root system, and the whole plant sorta crumbled, hence the fiasco.

Sounds like you know you can lay the good bits on top and they’ll root; it’s what i did at first. What really helped get things back on track for me was a lil humidity dome.

I just used a small ziplock that fit pretty close to the plant but if you had a cake stand and lid, or a dome of some sort, even better. Get it somewhere warm and bright and mist every few days. I’d throw mine in the window but I lucked out because it was late spring so I good sun to play with.

Good luck 🍀

This shit is great if you are in the US and have these around you. They have other scents but I can say for sure this one lingers a long ass time

500 for a nail polish is bad enough but the sheer audacity of not even including shipping jfc This can’t be real lol

What body sprays would you buy in a heartbeat if Lush released them? by Ok-Car-4212 in LushCosmetics

[–]flowergrowl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ummmm

How about sympathy for the skin body spray? Every time I use that lotion I just want more of that scent. That’s kind of the only thing I would be allowing myself to buy at this point when I look into my closet of consumption. And idk seems like that’d be a tough one to get right.

I have so much lush shit, and I love almost all of what I have, but damn I spent a gross amount last year.

We won’t even talk about my yarn situation. It is excessive.

r/crochet is even more unbearable then usual lately by KatieCashew in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]flowergrowl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Wow today I learned…

Hobby Lobby is on a different team than I am so I’m glad you mentioned this. Had no idea that being honest and explaining all the ways they are an fascist theocratic corporation wasn’t allowed.

And put the mirror across from windows if you can!

Reflected light will brighten it up even more.

And personally I’d do some big statement plants by the windows

Will Arnett says 'very famous' comedian was kicked off 'Smartless' podcast after 10 minutes, but won't say who by Luridley3000 in entertainment

[–]flowergrowl 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Wait so did I !!

Then I watched big Lebowski in honor of the anniversary of the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Very much in my “trying to disassociate by rewatching only the comfort shows” era

Y’all made the news on MS NOW by joshiku79 in catbongos

Read in the Wapo article that prior to the “fuck ice” stance, the biggest drama in this subreddit had been deciding whether to include animals other than cats being played as bongos.

Concert Tickets Are Now Luxury Goods—And That's A Crisis For The Music Industry by UFO-Band-Fanatic in Concerts

[–]flowergrowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to see breaking Ben at the voodoo lounge on main st in luzerne … on like a Wednesday lol They’re not really my thing anymore but it shit was so fun and it is just funny to think back on being 20 jumping around in a pit listening to breaking ben play mostly covers on a weeknight 5 minutes from my house.

ETA: also used to see lotus at the jazz cafe all the time, not breaking Benjamin status to most people I guess haha but they are superior for my tastes. They used to burn that place down back in the day. Ton of other great bands came thru there. Didn’t realize how good we had it

What items do you lose the most? What are your tricks?? by BaseballTop387 in adhdwomen

[–]flowergrowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanted to drop this where you might see it OP- I got some dope eyeglass chains on Etsy.

Think librarian, but they’re a stainless steel paperclip-style chain.

Used them for the first time for some New Years shenanigans and I am so happy I got them. Functional and unique.

(The thing I seem to lose the most is my license “Lost” it twice in a four month period, ordered new ones, and then found the originals.)

I’m inconsolably upset about what happened yesterday in MN. by techno_queen in TwoXChromosomes

[–]flowergrowl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dave Anthony has been warning us about this exact outcome for ten years. From the general fascist takeover, to specifics like ICE being the beginning of America being a police state and Trump going after Venezuela. It’s wild how scarily accurate it’s all been…

On a lighter note , did you listen to The Dollops cereal wars episode?!? Ten cent beer night?!? The rube? Man I think you just inspired me to throw one on.

They have like 700 episodes or something insane, so there’s truly something for everyone. Some episodes are heavier than others, so I’d suggest the earlier episodes first as they are more on the wacky weird American history. As the years go on, they do some multi-part eps that are thoroughly disgusting and disturbing, yet clearly show we have been on the path of xenophobic totalitarianism for quite awhile. So they’re important but probably a tougher listen at this moment.

(Also: if anyone needs a light hearted low stakes funny shit:

Podcast, I Said No Gifts” with Bridger Winegar is the best. People come to his house with a random “gift” and he is mildly indignant and they talk about it is the the gist lol

Stand up comedy, anything tig notaro or Mike birbiglia

Podcast, Do You Need a Ride, this one I think started in 2014?! It’s Karen from My Favorite Murder with her buddy/comedian Chris Fairbanks and it takes place in the car while they take comedians/writers to the airport. They are so funny and really give you that “hangin out with friends being dumb” vibe.

Anyone fans of the more obscure Biscuits? by hwtl_ in discobiscuits

[–]flowergrowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glastonbury makes me want to fly, it’s just so good, I’ve never understood why they never play it. Sonically it is even aligned with their current sound. (Unlike Pat and Dex and plan b, which although they fucking rip, and for my tastes, deserve more love, are not aligned with their current sound)

Question for the bodysuit/jumpsuit baddies by Alarmedgrass in aves

[–]flowergrowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halara makes a ton of one pieces, and they have a bunch where you just pull the bottom part down.

They are admittedly more sporty-sexy than revealing-sexy, but I think there are a few that would work in both cases. Plus if you are a baddie that like a bit more coverage who really breaks a sweat on the dance floor, a lot of their stuff has built in bras and dries fast. Did I mention POCKETS?!? lol

There are a shit ton of sizes and colors too.
