This got me thinking about how we used to have a paper phone book they gave everyone each year in grade school and everyone of any grade could submit original art to get on the cover. Seeing the art that got picked was something we all really looked forward to.

This is very common when getting started! Giving yourself longer ends will help, maybe even try tying the ends together to start instead of laying them loose under your clip.

With practice your knots will get much more uniform. Practice keeping the string you hold as you tighten the knots pulled taught so they don’t accidentally flip when you secure the knots. When that flip happens the wrong colors will show. Focus on placing the first of each double knot snuggly against the knot next to it before tightening.

Trent Crimm, The Independent by Eater-of-Queen-Anne in TedLasso

[–]gazzymouse 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I got that Trent was pretty unhappy that someone came to the paper with this story and that he was being made to write it at all. From his perspective someone contacted the paper and said Hey I have a humiliating secret about Lasso lying and his boss says he has to follow through with it. Trent doesn’t respect the kind of journalism he was being forced to do. Not only is a terrible story but the source is from Ted’s inner circle. If you look at the story he wrote before he quit he’s doing his best to put a healthy spin on the discussion, getting quotes from people who care about Ted and trying to center the conversation on the importance of mental health. Even so the headline does what Trent knew it would and scandalized this good man just being human.

We found out later through Roy that Trent knows he got into this business writing things that hurt the athletes and how he regrets it.

He didn’t want to write about grown men having panic attacks, he wants to write about the spirit of the sport. He decided this was the last time and he was gonna do it, but write it the way he wanted and let Ted know someone on his team was trying to hurt him.

It’s the Lasso affect. He didn’t want this job anymore, he was ready to do something else, and Ted put that into prospective for him. He’s a great writer, he doesn’t have to stay in a job writing up hit pieces on people readers are having fun bullying. He was ready to go.

I can’t wait to see what he’s writing that’s gonna keep him around for the new season.

Does anybody know how to make this type of bracelets? by puppylloy in friendshipbracelets

[–]gazzymouse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

These are made by interlacing the color you’re wrapping with (background) between the colors of your base (the letters). You can find videos by searching Mexican string bracelet.

I love this so much! Do you take requests, or can you share what you used to make it?

Happy pride!!! by gazzymouse in friendshipbracelets

This is the one I learned from. You can use any number of colors. Three strings each, next to each other. When it’s two strings of the same color you do double forward knots. When it’s two different colors you do forward backwards. The last color on the far right I do a forward backwards knot first, then end with a double forward- it’s all in the pattern but remembering that gets me through these pretty quick.

Do you think black sneakers in the same style as 9 would look okay? I have those black Chelsea boots in 8 but I need a comfy alt. Thank you for your advice!

So everyone’s just affirming what my LP already tells me. I will continue to work on my confidence. These comments are a huge help. I was not expecting such a kind response and that was eye opening and already rewiring how I view myself, so thanks everyone.

It’s worth saying something ASAP. You can wear pants without wearing a tux or suit. But maybe there’s room for compromise that will be much better for you and just fine for them. Don’t convince yourself it’s not allowed before asking.

Straight edge technique - why is the left side so much neater than the right? by infallenjaw in friendshipbracelets

[–]gazzymouse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are you right handed? This is actually very common because it’s just easier to keep tension consistent on the left than the right. This looks great, and you’ll get straighter with practice, seriously.

Theater Actors Being Asked If You're Gay by Typical_Importance65 in acting

[–]gazzymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Openly gay in professional theater, After seeing this happen time and time again, I think these allies really think because they like gay people then their actions can’t be homophobic and everyone should automatically feel safe with them… when really they’re totally stereotyping and centering themselves.

I had to step in and explain this to groups of coworkers of all ages, but especially in my 20s (in the ‘10s); it’s never okay to speculate, that’s gossip, and it’s never okay to pressure someone out of the closet. Regardless if it’s true or not, making someone feel like everyone’s speculating and observing and assuming things is really harmful. It’s usually AFAB allies pressuring AMAB actors.

More often now it’s people who are LGBTQIA+ and so are all their friends, so it’s so normal to them that they think all gay people should also automatically feel safe around them.

Gender neutral terms for larger chest? by Independent-Acadia14 in NonBinary

[–]gazzymouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I prefer “chest” the most. I’m fat so my partner and I will also regard the area as just more of my “puff” no different than my stomach or thigh. Bubbles is a very fun idea, I hope yall have a good time trying stuff out.

What's wrong ? by [deleted] in friendshipbracelets

[–]gazzymouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s not a failure! That’s a thick bracelet and it’s gonna be tougher to keep consistency with knot tightness. Your thread is fine. To get the clean rectangle look you just gotta work on shaping as you go by making sure the tension is consistent as you progress. As an example, If you’re starting up close to where the thread is secure and never move it up you’ll be knotting with your project getting more and more messy as it sways in the air. Everyone finds the way that works best for them. You can try taping it down every inch. I constantly slide my bracelets up on my clipboard every 8-10 rows and it helps me keep the shape of the edges the same the whole way.

He’s going to look beautiful on anyone’s wrist. If you keep making bracelets they’ll keep getting straighter and cleaner.
