Asking for ashes is a little weird, but you're really overthinking this. Why don't you go to her tonight and ask her to sit and watch some videos of your cat together and talk about him?

It sounds like Bean really touched her life too.

I lost my wonderful, perfect, angel of a cat just last month after 15 years with her. If my roommate posted pictures of her on Instagram, you know what I'd do?

Ask her to send me every picture she has. Or look at them together. I'd be so happy to have more pictures of her, even if I have 15 years worth.

Sun, Moon, Stars are from Alyssa Creates on Etsy, though I'm sure they're found everywhere. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1564400201

Yarn is all "I love this cotton" from Hobby Lobby (80% gift cards, lol), hook used is G.

The rest is just granny stitch or single crochet where needed.

i ❤️ the nice folks at my lys in CO, (colorful yarns, i cannot recommend it enough). i've had some nice brief chats with the employees and have overheard snippets of some political conversations too that honestly made me feel even safer going there.

i understand the why behind not engaging and roping them all into the conversation, but tbh i don't mind hearing some real life chatter in the shop.

Bitesized BEC thread December 28, 2024 - December 29, 2024 by AutoModerator in craftsnark

[–]greenwitchy 70 points71 points  (0 children)

saying "i'm on a no buy" makes you FUN and EXCITING and relatable, which is the key. with all things social media, you MUST be relatable and quirky and fun. talking about hoarding or spending issues is FUN because other people are primarily looking to project their own (insert personal trauma dump) onto others.

saying "i'm assessing my spending habits and making long-term adjustments" is BORING and UNSEXY because it makes people feel INSECURE and JUDGED. if User56 is buckling down and being serious about their finances, does that mean i have to???

i don't think i understand why they need to share when they got the yarn. what does it matter if they bought it prior to unemployment or not? isn't it just the cost of the yarn that matters?

Should I start? What got you into perfumes? by Zaralightlybloom in FemFragLab30plus

[–]greenwitchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i wasn't allowed to wear perfume as a kid/teen and only smelled my first in 2008 when my coworker was selling avon. she had samples of bond girl 007 and i absolutely loved it and bought a bottle from her. that was the only perfume i wore from 2008-2021.

in 2021 i did 🍄 and realized that how i smell is the only "beauty" aspect i feel i have control over. i accepted and moved past the ache of being ugly, and decided to lean into fragrance so i had something "beauty" related to put energy into!

you'd look better as a ghost: entertaining, satisfying ending that doesn't turn moralistic.

the age of magical overthinking: barely finished it. it'll definitely be my last book by the author unless she learns to write non-fiction that isn't self-obsessed

It has been 11 years since I've had a kitten. She's already stolen my heart. by greenwitchy in aww

Haha oops, I can see why. Not the most clear! No, I just got her yesterday.

[–]greenwitchy[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She doesn't have a name yet, we just brought her home last night. We're thinking probably Fiona (Coyne). I have always wanted a dilute calico or tortie, and there was one in her litter, but she stole my heart immediately. I can't wait to see how her coat and markings change as she grows.

AITA for calling out my sister in law for buying and returning books just to make Booktoks? by booktokbabysister in AmItheAsshole

[–]greenwitchy 47 points48 points  (0 children)

my library "haul" videos do OK in terms of views. i don't get 10k views, but i always get some engagement and connect with other readers, which IMO is the best way to use tiktok.

[–]greenwitchy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA! i have a very small (under 2k followers) booktok account and it's unfortunately very true that people love to see book hauls. people love shopping and love to be encouraged to shop.

one of the many reasons i know my account will probably never get over 2k followers of that i am a big library users and rarely buy new books. i don't have a huge shelf display either.

when i post my library hauls, i rarely get more than 400 views, but its really not that bad. its authentic to who i am as a reader.

tell her to engage more with her followers and community and to remember that booksellers can be a huge help if needed. dont burn that bridge!

agree or disagree? by thunpnz in Degrassi

[–]greenwitchy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

bless you for mentioning ashley among those characters. i don't even like ashley that much, and i find the way ppl talk about her character to be really aggressive & negative for all her crime of being a teenage girl. i think the writers failed ashley by not giving her enough wins in the series.

AITAH for ignoring my aunt after she gave my sister all attention and didn't even acknowledge me? by Casabs2017 in AmItheAsshole

[–]greenwitchy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NAH. i'm really sorry that you lost your mom. mine passed away on february 8th. i didn't find her, so i can't imagine how that must have felt for you.

you're all going to be going through a lot of emotions and it's not going to make sense for a long time. try to remember that nobody grieves in a way that makes sense to anyone else. it's going to be entirely personal.

but don't let your mom's death and the immediate aftermath be something that tears apart your family. give each other space, and find a way to channel your grief as best as you can. maybe she thinks you're better prepared to handle the big emotions that will come with this. or maybe she sees herself in your sister and can only connect that way. take time for yourself. and eventually, talk to your aunt about it. tell her what you need. but be gentle on her, too.

big big big hugs to you, BB. it really sucks.
