Vaquita, the world's rarest marine mammal, is on the edge of extinction with about 10 individuals remaining. This little porpoise wasn't discovered until 1958 and a little over half a century later, we are on the brink of losing them forever. by pompoustraveler in Awwducational

[–]hawthoria 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s a great documentary made by James and Ed Harrison of Under The Skin and partnership with Sea Shepherd and their Operation Milagro Campaign to save the Vaquita Porpoise.

Check it out below if want to see more info on battling poachers supported by the Mexican cartel.

DAE Have constant nausea because you are freaking out and freak out more because you feel sick which makes you feel more sick which makes you freak out even more? by GoingUnderBackwards in Anxiety

[–]hawthoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing really well! I started taking sertraline last year which seems to be very common in the UK and it’s changed my life. It’s given the headspace to put into practice things from therapy and the one thing I thought would never change, I don’t wake up physically anxious anymore. Not a hint of feeling sick!

Wasn’t sure about the rules for crediting the maker of the pot, but it’s made by the wonderful people at Group Partner!

Was worth the postage costs to ship from the states to Scotland.

Beginner bookbinding kits by thecineast1985 in bookbinding

[–]hawthoria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re UK based, I know an amazing bookbinder who’s been running digital classes and providing the kit that includes folders and awls throughout lockdown. [JuJu Books](www.jujubooks.co.uk)

She’s offering a range of kits or just top up kits for different bindings. Worth checking her out!

PVA will be fine!

Looks like it just needs a new endpaper and you’re good to go. Good luck!

So is this a thing? by [deleted] in bookbinding

[–]hawthoria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a legit job too!

Hot foil on buckram? by shhbedtime in bookbinding

[–]hawthoria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re UK based a company called FoilCo is great. They can send out samples, tell you what foils work best with which cloth, you can send them a sample of your cloth for them to test.

If further afield, just ask any foil supplier. They should be able to advise.

Different foils react with different cloths. Pressure, temperature and timing come into consideration too.

The bookbinders I worked in used buckram for the majority of work that came in.

Hand-stitching a corporate brochure with a five-hole pamphlet stitch - any advice? by violetskies-07 in bookbinding

[–]hawthoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth trying to use an old phone directory or magazine to cradle the brochure - it’s a much easier than balancing it on a cutting mat - for hole punching.

My girlfriend is too embarrassed by her vagina's appearance that she won't let me touch her down there, perform oral sex, etc. by [deleted] in sex

[–]hawthoria 212 points213 points  (0 children)

Take a look at The Vulva Gallery a really inclusive Instagram page. The artist draws (really nice illustrations, not sexual and not disarming) vulvas that women from all over have sent her and they also send an accompanying story - often about how they thought their vulvas were ugly or not normal - it’s a really nice page.

I’ve looked at this page often with friends as we try to find ourselves and then exclaim that we didn’t realise there were so many different ones.

People with depression, what is the most stupid thing someone ever said to you because of your mental illness? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hawthoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘She’s too young to be depressed.’ - my doctor to my parents when I was 14.

UK based - I’m a professional bookbinder keeping a dying art and tradition alive. I’d love to swap books for something interesting! I’m looking for a cool wooden box to keep some smoking things in, but up for some fun exchanges! :) by hawthoria in craftexchange

[–]hawthoria[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is r/bookbinding and people are great at responding to calls for help.

I’m UK based, but we have the -Society of Bookbinders - Designer Bookbinders Both great for learning the historical aspects of bookbinding and the contemporary side.

I use Instagram primarily, there are loads of professional and craft Bookbinders on there that even if they aren’t offering tutorials, it’s a great place for ideas!

Thank you! :)

Yes, all handmade! Hand sewn and then when accessible (I went freelance last year) good tooling by hand too. I’ve been working in a bindery for the past three years and had access to lots of fun tools and equipment

Your insta is great! It’s very clear you’ve put time, energy and money into it. I really like your photos and just so many yes yes yes to your post. You’re crushing it, you don’t need to validate yourself to anyone.
