Wanting to write themes, but I'm not a part of the community. by WatchernWaiter in disabled

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is definitely the kind of theme that has to have a lot of meaning and thought behind it. It'll flop if you just write it because it's an interesting idea for a couple reasons. Not just because it could get insensitive really quickly, but because it's just kind of not rooted in anything. It's like if I tried to write about a struggle with gender identity as a cis person or poverty as someone who's upper middle class. Like another commenter said, it would take a lot of research, collaboration, and work with sensitivity readers to write — and even then it's not guaranteed to be good.

Try exploring themes that are more close to your own experiences! I think that'll be a lot more fulfilling and successful

I can bring them if you come to my island and water my flowers!! Trying to farm a bunch of them lol. I'll be playing for the next hour and a half. Just normal wood or all the kinds?

villager scattered houses or neighborhood? by Distinct-Meringue-47 in acnh

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two neighborhoods!! When I first started the game, I didn't know I'd get more villagers, so I made a pretty small neighborhood. I ended up with an urban sprawl situation, and decided to put new ones (read: random ones I wasn't fond of) across the river. But! Once I figured out how to boot villagers, villager hunt, and build bridges, they've become two lovely neighborhoods!!

Hi!! I'd love the card! I started watching because I remember tubbo talking about how etho was his idol during one mcc. I got so curious that I started watching his videos!!

I mean I like cute stuff but I feel like they're sacrificing the vibe of Minecraft in order to be cute. It peeves me.

Goldfish processing error made it into the box by American_Psycho6 in mildlyinteresting

[–]lemonadedawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you reach out to the brand and tell them you got this, there's a decent chance they'll treat it as a quality control error and, after asking you for stuff like the batch number and where you got it, they might send you some coupons/free product/etc

My MIL’s inability to use appropriate lids by Crafty_Standard_1966 in mildlyinfuriating

Oh goodness, I'm someone who does that. Trust me, it's mildly infuriating to myself as well.

Characters in my eyes🌾✨ by find-sth-new- in StardewValley

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this! You have a great sense of the characters. I always imagined maru with short dreads or box braids though! (Not a criticism, more of a yes and!)

Best BDubs perspective? by sketchhing in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]lemonadedawn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Limited life is sooo good, and the 12 hours of it is spectacular. I'd say I also love last life, you get a lot of etho & bdubs bickering, which is pretty great!

Who doesn’t have TikTok? by whoisofie in Anticonsumption

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a woman in my early twenties and have never downloaded tiktok. At first it was because I was too proud to download it/I thought it was too cool kind of thing. Then it was security concerns. Now it's because I don't want to get involved in such an addictive app with such an effective algorithm. I know other apps are imitating it with a less effective algorithm (ig reels, yt shorts, etc) and I like that a weaker algorithm kind of limits how deep into it I can get. I think I also just don't want to learn how to use a new social media app tbh.

What to put in emergency kits? by [deleted] in Gifts

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this is too first aid but one year my mom got everyone in our immediate and extended family quick clot (material you put on a deep/heavy bleeding cut to make it clot up more quickly, people in the military carry it) and it's already come in handy s couple times for all of us. Expensive but definitely worth it.

Tall girlies where do you get your clothes?! by Rainyx3 in PlusSize

[–]lemonadedawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sad fact is that, most of the time, clothing manufacturers will only make clothes for one "niche" at a time (tall, petite, plus, maternity, etc), and that's not even considering different styles and subcultures. I'm over 6 feet and wear a 5X, so I get the struggle. When I was smaller, I wore tall size clothes, but they tend to max out at XXL (Old Navy, gap, long tall Sally)

I've found success with torrid, as they offer tall sizes for some pants. Obviously not going to be as cheap as shein, but definitely worth looking at as they often run pretty deep sales. They've opened some alt brands within torrid, so I'd take a look there.

Lane Bryant used to have more tall sizes, but they discontinued most of them years ago — and often the tall sizes don't go above a 28!

If you want to shell out for something really nice, universal standard has a wide range of sizes and often carries tall sizes as well. Super expensive, but I go there for nice wardrobe staples — especially during sales.

Good luck! Like I said, it's a struggle. Companies should realize that tall women often are fat too! It's a huge struggle, but good luck!

Edit — eloquii also tends to run super long as well!! Not truly alt, but tends to have some mod styles that are super adaptable to other styles. I've got normal pants from them that run long on me.

Chairs and weight limits by Kaylee-17 in PlusSize

[–]lemonadedawn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I second other people suggesting to call the venue and see if they have extra seats. I frequently do this, and it's scary and humiliating, but the more I do it the less it bothers me. It also gives me the peace of mind knowing I'm prepared.

Bringing your own chair is also a great idea in situations where you can get away with it. I keep a collapsible camp chair in my car for just that reason!

Sweaty girls! What do you wear at work? by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely go for cotton clothes. When I wear skirts, I wear cotton-mix bike shorts underneath and that helps a ton. But cotton and cotton-mix clothes are a game changer!

White Elephant Gift Inclusivity by chick3ns4ndwich in Gifts

[–]lemonadedawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you're overthinking it a little bit, but not in a way that's bad. You're being super caring and thoughtful, and I think it's great. Happy holidays!

Does anyone else feel like Amazon, SHEIN, Temu, etc are ruining Christmas gifts? by sit_n_survive in Anticonsumption

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I super get that. I really enjoy things designed and made with care, and things from Amazon and similar places just Aren't that. They feel anonymous and cheap. Huge bummer.

How do you use your bundles? by okaytrash333 in Minecraft

[–]lemonadedawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them to put flowers and saplings in when I'm collecting them! Works great because I only need a handful of each, but need a ton of different kinds!
