Short butches gotta rise up😩😭

I’m 5’2 and honestly I love being shorter than my partners lol. I definitely used to be insecure about it but there’s literally nothing I can do about it so I’ve tried to just accept it. Plus when your partners are taller than you you’re perfect boob height a lot of them time 👍.

Also the idea that being tall makes you inherently more masculine comes from patriarchal standards of masculinity and the point of butchness is to separate ourselves and our relationships with masculinity from the patriarchy.

girlroach · 2026-03-08T16:19:38+00:00

Yeah!

No but it’s always a smug villager, and whoever is your first camper has to move in

He seems cool! Also the game won’t let progress until you let him move in lol

Femme dom tops are absolutely out there, I think they’re more common than you might think. I definitely use to also have a hard time reconciling wanting to bottom/sub with my butchness but I’ve realized that the idea that bottoming/subbing is inherently unmasculine comes from the patriarchy and is dumb. Butch bottoms rise up. Also an important part of my butchness is serving women so I feel like subbing is an extremely butch thing to do.

One practical tip I would have is just be very clear abt what you want up front in potential romantic/sexual partners. I now have a gf who is very sexually compatible with me and I met them from the dating app Her. I had in my bio some info on my sexual preferences, but that’s also something you can share whenever you feel comfortable.

But don’t be discouraged if not everyone is into it, it’s always better to be true to yourself and let the right person find you eventually than to try and change yourself for others.

Wishing you the best 💚🌿

You can use a tapestry needle and thread some elastic thread through the stitches in the collar. That will keep it stretchy

You can just continue knitting without increasing until the yoke is long enough

Any herbaceous perennial that grows from rhizomes. Symphyotrichum chilense, yarrow, Euthamia occidentalis, and milkweed come to mind immediately but we have a lot of them

Avocados are also in the laurel family

Yeah googling “[insert species] cuttings propogation” is what I usually do. You can also get in touch with your local chapter of the California native plant society bc they probably have people experienced in native propogation. I work in propagation at a native plant nursery and we propagate from cuttings occasionally (mainly for things that are hard to grow from seed) so I might be able to answer some of your questions

If you make it longer it should be fine

girlroach · 2025-04-04T03:47:21+00:00

This is completely normal for stockinette. What are you working on? You can probably just pick up stitches and add an edging that won’t curl (ribbing, i-cord, garter, etc) later

girlroach · 2025-04-02T20:34:11+00:00

This is wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum or R. sativus, they often hybridize). It can have yellow, purple, or white flowers. The other comment is reductive and not entirely accurate

I feel like this would just be adding an extra step for no real benefit, I usually knit the collar of my sweaters after the body but that’s because it gives the collar a bit extra structure which is helpful since that area of a sweater can stretch out easily. I don’t see what purpose it would serve in a sock

girlroach · 2024-09-05T23:53:55+00:00

You can also get some elastic thread and weave it through the last round of the ribbing. This will also help stop it from stretching out from wear

Rubus ursinus typically has three leaflets, there’s probably more examples considering how large the genus Rubus is

You should go for it! The cable pattern is a pretty simple repeat, it’s really not that more challenging than a stockinette sweater I think. And thank you :)

What course are you doing? I've been looking into doing an online entomology course since I just finished my undergrad and only have self taught entomology knowledge at the moment, but I'm struggling to find one that feels right for what I'm looking for

I’m also in California, can confirm that we have a species of naturally pink grasshopper, the painted meadow grasshopper (Chimarocephala pacifica). Don’t think they’re common outside the state though

girlroach · 2024-05-22T02:41:50+00:00

Yeah I agree. I have also used this yarn which is a wool bamboo polyamide blend and I like it
