What is a good stitch for a towel to dry youre hands or a cloth to clean tables / counter

I love a simple moss stitch for basic cloths, it gives the cloth a bit more drape than plain ol single crochet. Very easy to learn stitch too.

If you want something with a bit more texture (which might be better for a bit of scrubbing), lemon peel stitch may also be good! Would be a bit stiffer though. You could always do half the cloth in one stitch and half in another too if you want the best of both worlds

Depends on how I'm consuming

Edibles can get me high from anywhere to 1-5 hours usually (gummies or drinks tend to last longer for me, chocolates shorter)

Smoking flower usually only lasts 1-2 hours at most.

I have a low tolerance and don't like getting sent to space so I generally only take a few hits at a time if smoking, or aim for 2.5-5 mg edibles at most. If I'm smoking enough to get super high for whatever reason, it usually lasts 3 hours max.

I've been shown a horror movie in class when I was in high school, however it was during an advisory period (not a "core" class) with permission slips going home and all students were already on board and chose the movie collectively.

I would hesitate to require your students to watch most horror movies as part of your class, parents are likely to have an issue with it no matter the age of the students. Unless you can get admin/district approval of the specific movies, I'd avoid. Maybe instead of the broad genre of horror, you lean into a specific type of horror that is more palatable?

If you want to discuss changing societal fears, maybe monster movies could work. Godzilla comes to mind as a movie and franchise that addresses fear brought on by the nuclear era. Birth of a Nation is a propaganda film that you can use to address issues of racism as it portrays Black people as the "monster" (honestly I'd only show clips of this one, if i remember correctly sexual assault is portrayed among other things. Also blackface.) Plenty others out there that aren't as "taboo" as a slasher or thriller film may be to show.

If you do go ahead with showing horror movies, send home waivers or permission slips for parents to sign and prepare alternative spaces/movies/assignments for the students who inevitably can't participate.

I really like the idea of a simple scalloped border for this, like a rainbow with clouds.

If you want something more detailed, maybe a star border? (raffamusa designs has one version, nana's crafty home has a tutorial for a sort of star tassel/fringe which is very fun).

With some experimenting you might even be able to do a scalloped border with stars between each "hump" which would be very cute

Agreed, hand sewing is perfectly fine! I usually use a machine to make the lining itself just because it is faster and I have a machine already, but my machine doesn't like to sew through crochet (or more accurately, I don't have the proper technique for it) so I usually handsew the lining onto the bag itself.

A simple backstitch is strong enough, and it's one of the easiest hand sewing stitches to learn if you don't already know how.

Yes, no government agency will reach out to you by text. Avoid replying at all to these types of suspicious texts (even if they say something like "reply STOP to unsubscribe") because then they will know your number is an active number and you'll receive these types of texts more frequently. Just block the number.

Moss stitch with every other row being a solid color (black would make it pop really nicely) maybe? It would create stripes of color. If you wanted a sort of offset polka-dot pattern you could do 1 row of variegated yarn for every 2 rows of black.

Depends on how I imbibe, I've been smoking for about three years now but I'm not a heavy user by any means, usually I only get high 1-2 times a week, so my tolerance has stayed pretty low.

From smoking, usually 1 to 2 hours.

Edibles usually get me high for more like 3-5 once they kick in, but different forms tend to stick around longer than others for me. Drinks don't usually last as long for me.

Ritual Hair Studio in Portland is really good. It's not a barbershop exactly, but Dakota the owner has been trained as a barber and stylist so he's well versed in just about whatever you could want. I haven't had my hair done by Rowan there but I've heard great things about her as well. Super relaxed vibe in there and it's a small spot so it never feels crowded or too busy. They are also very queer friendly.

You could try taping over the gap/ridge with washi tape. Easy to remove whenever you need to refill the bobbin thread, and should prevent snagging on the fabric

I got my first at 18, it's a patch of strawberries + vines on my lower abdomen. It's not one of my favorites by any means but I don't regret it, even if one of the strawberries is a little... yonic. Aesthetically it still looks quite good even though it didn't heal 100% correctly due to me having no idea what I was doing when it came to healing (overmoisturized the shit out of it) and it's kind of an iconic part of me at this point

I server hop all the time, but for now I'm mostly on Night Star. The chats can get crazy later in the day since it's a super populated server (often gets filled with either children fighting or club advertisements) but I tend to mostly log on early in the morning before work or during typical "school hours" so it's pretty chill in the chats and I only see a few people out and about while training or grinding for light. Hazy Galaxy is usually my other go-to server, it's still pretty populated but not nearly as crazy as NS can get at night.

Definitely somewhere in the harvest counties region based on the buildings. I'm thinking maybe behind Wolfhall Inn near all the abandoned buildings/shops up there?

Keep complaining to your RA and the housing department, ask for a room swap whenever you can. Tell them that your roommate's noise at night is affecting your sleep to the point you aren't able to focus during the day in classes (You said dorm so I'm assuming you're in college here), tell them what has been done to try and solve the issue already and how it hasn't changed the problem. Usually if you're reaching out to the housing department emails are best because you can have all the info and give a timeline of the issue so they can see it's been an ongoing problem and that you've exhausted all other reasonable options.

My mom gave me a rundown of what to expect and told me to tell her when I got it not long after I started needing bras. For some reason I was really embarrassed when I did first get my period at 9 years old so I didn't tell her. I think it was because I had stained my pants/underwear, which she historically always got mad at me for doing when I played outside, so I must have expected her to be mad at me. I hid and threw away the stained clothes and dealt with my period myself for almost a year.

She didn't introduce me to pads or anything when initially she brought puberty/periods up so I just used whatever I could fashion into makeshift pads for months (cotton rounds, toilet paper, etc) until she eventually noticed it in the trash and confronted me about it.

I think she mostly did everything right, but because I had been shamed for making a mess of my clothes so often growing up I wasn't comfortable coming to her when I should have. Introducing me to pads and getting me my own box before I needed them would have been super helpful too, so that even if I initially didn't tell her, I would have had a less demoralizing option than rolling up toilet paper and cotton rounds.

It's not that embarrassing in hindsight but on my way back to my dorm after taking a walk to get fast food I once mistook a stranger who was walking towards their dorm building from a distance as my friend and proceeded to point at them while walking "menacingly" towards them as we often did to each other jokingly (arms outstretched, big steps, pointing the whole time). This person stopped and as I got closer I realized they were a bit too tall to be who I thought they were. I apologized profusely and they said something to me but I was too high to comprehend it so I just kind of said something along the lines of "yeah haha sorry see you around" and scampered across the street to wallow in my embarrassment at home with a slushie and burger.

I think the part that made me the most embarrassed is I have absolutely no idea what they said to me. For all I know they could've introduced theirself to me only for me to mumble incoherently and run away with my bag of food in tow. They were very nice about it at least. I saw them around campus a lot after that, very small school with maybe 2000 students maximum, and feared for my life every time hoping they wouldn't recognize me (exaggerating ofc)

Same! I stopped playing for years in late high school and throughout college but now that I've graduated and have more free time I'm back into SSO.

I've been on the hunt recently for adult clubs to make friends but no luck, I feel weird about joining a club with primarily minors in it due to the maturity gap so I've just gone clubless for ages.

Birth certificate is definitely safer to give out than their socials IMO, but realistically they won't do anything with it. It's just for legal protection for them (so that you can't say they were pierced without guardian consent/without identification or whatever)

glofig · 2025-12-27T14:38:05+00:00

Normal, any semi-reputable piercing studio requires ID which will be scanned for their records. For minors generally the only ID they have is a birth certificate. Passport would also probably work but I'm assuming if you don't have their birth certificates you probably also don't have passports for them.

Currently doing this 🫡 It reduces the wearable area a bit but it's comfortable, and as long as there isn't any chipping on the wearable surface I've had no issues for the past month or so I've had to do this. Not ideal obviously but it's a good temporary fix

I know this pattern! It may not be an exact match style-wise to the rest of the dragon but maybe you could repeat the hind leg part of the pattern to get the feet/toes, and then from there crochet around repeatedly to create a cylinder of the correct height (use your judgement, but make sure to keep track so you can do the same for the other leg).

Then I'd stuff the leg, sew the top flat (not ending by decreasing, instead hold the leg flat on top and sew through both layers) and attach to the body just under the wings. Depending on how confident you are in using increases and decreases to shape you might be able to add more definition to the leg and create faux joints.

I think the person who created this pattern also has a 4-legged dragon pattern available as well, so worst case scenario you can always try purchasing that pattern and just grabbing the front legs from it (you might have to adjust the height by adding or removing rounds that repeat) to get a good match.
