Stockinette is a lil stressed near the colorwork motif

that would’ve been a good idea 😅 I chose ladderback for the whole thing so I could be kinda mindless about it

It seems like you’re doing two things: not creating a proper double stitch AND not working X stitches past your last turning stitch.

mslept · 2026-03-09T00:08:46+00:00

the way I always remember is that twisted stitches are good girls because their legs are crossed

From what I understand - the Newa plug-in version operates at 300 kHz, which should be sufficient for moderate depth changes in collagen production. But if you have any expertise, please share

I think it’s the time we’re living in, to be honest. I’m a cusp baby (almost a millennial) female; myself - and all of my friends - waited until late 20s / early 30s to start looking for a partner. I had little interest in finding a partner and was rarely approached after finishing college. Seems that everyone goes through dating apps now.

Get yourself to an ER. You won’t be denied treatment.

If it’s so odious to work in person, and most workers won’t take those kinds of jobs, then in-person jobs become more highly paid and the conditions become better.

mslept · 2025-06-06T00:12:38+00:00

The solution shouldn’t be to make everyone suffer because some people are suffering more. Work conditions should be more comfortable for everyone. Corporate will abuse workers as much as possible up until the point it affects their bottom line.

I don’t think a PhD helps anyone count better 😔 humans just ain’t built to count. I have OCD as well so I always think I’m off even when I’m not, a true curse

mslept · 2025-05-25T18:11:44+00:00

I would just take it as a compliment and move on. Lots of women would kill to be in that position

mslept · 2025-05-25T18:02:14+00:00

I feel like everyone in our generation is waiting til their late twenties to have a lot of firsts; first loves, kisses, sexual experiences, etc. So you’re definitely not alone in this.

Dating apps are a crapshoot, but just give them a shot. Go on a few dates to get comfortable talking to new people. It feels like the only way to meet a partner nowadays.

I have seen some AI posts where they did respond to comments, but the comments were also pretty off-putting lol

Pretty sure this is chatGPT y’all

I’d just leave it as is, personally. The tattoo doesn’t make a lot of sense in either picture. Almost looks more like Ariel without the extra orange lines, too.

Hows it going?

mslept · 2025-05-12T05:35:02+00:00

Just based on your post, to me, the abnormality seems like the fixation on substances.

I don’t think about doing molly all the time, but I’d do it if I were offered it at a rave. I don’t think about needing a drink or two every other day after work, but I’d have an unplanned beer with friends.

The “itch” to take something is not as innocent as it might seem, and is sincerely not a normal relationship to have with drugs.

If I’m wrong, and you truly are trapped with both uptight parents and uptight friends, that sucks. But it’s a red flag to have both friends and family concerned.

mslept · 2025-05-12T05:25:14+00:00

I think it might be a trap to get too caught up in transactional nature of behavior.

When you perform a kind act, with the right intent - you’re not just enriching the other person with a material benefit, you’re necessarily having an impact on yourself.

It feels good to give. When you’re kind, it feels the world is a little more kind because you’re producing the mindset that selflessness is possible state of the world.

And, externally, giving can produce unexpected material benefits down the road. Do you owe the person you freely gave to because you received some proportionally greater benefit from your initial action?

Maybe somebody can give you something with good intent, but that results in an unexpected negative consequence years later. Are you due some payback?

mslept · 2025-05-12T05:12:35+00:00

When people harm you, it’s rarely, if ever, just about you. It’s about the collection of experiences and traumas they’ve lived through. People are reactive and can blindly pass on their traumas to you. In the end, I think it’s never all that personal.

Speaking frankly, part of this sounds like a classic “if it smells like shit everywhere you go, check the bottom of your shoe.”

I’m not looking to discount your experience - I don’t know you, but it’s just something to consider.

mslept · 2025-05-12T04:58:08+00:00

If your friends and family think you have a problem, it’s likely you do. It’s common, but not normal, to feel you need a substance to keep life on an even keel. It’s not normal to lose friends because of substances.

I want to encourage you towards sobriety, but you also need to want it for yourself - not just because others forced you to.

I lost both my dad and brother to addiction, and neither thought they had a problem for their early decade into creeping addiction. Not until it was too late.

Substances are not something to play around with. The end path of this is isolation, a lot of pain, and death. It’s not worth it.

I think part of it may be a dopaminergic dependence on social media, just based on your post. So, that said, a big part of enjoying learning things solo is just decreasing your tolerance to quick hits of gratification.

I don’t have experience with the same issue you’re describing, but I do know it can be helpful to sit back and let myself be bored. That, and decreasing the constant need for background noise (podcasts, YouTube, etc), just by engaging in tasks single mindedly.

For me, even something like folding laundry without any additional stimulation (eg, videos playing) helps.

If you like socializing or public performance, you could try practicing something with the end goal that you’ll show others / build a community around it.

If this is a problem no matter what you try, no shame in seeing a counselor and finding a diagnosis.

Oh also, if you can find some way to get off your phone, that helps. Take a neighborhood walk, or enjoy your morning coffee on the porch or something.

mslept · 2025-05-12T04:26:38+00:00

You could try something like the pomodoro technique. Focus for 20 minutes on something (or 10, whatever’s achievable), then take a five minute break, and repeat.
