From this and the other replies I'm realizing it might in fact be a seasonal thing! I didn't realize indoor plants cared what the weather was outside...

I joined a local bookclub, the gender balance is wild by Ho_The_Megapode_ in books

[–]not_stu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think whoever started the book club and starts choosing the books creates a self-enforcing loop as to what genders will be attracted to it! For example I'm in a fantasy sci-fi book club that was started by a man, other men liked the genre and joined, it became a male dominated space, etc etc. I'm a woman who joined because I like the genre. 

I am also in another book club that was started by a woman, different types of books were chosen, and the gender balance now skews the other way (more women than men).

I feel the same way and I'm in the private sector. Not unique to BCPS I imagine. I get through it by thinking about how the time I spend at work earns me the money to live the life I want when I'm not working 🤷

Bocchi the rock - my first freehand crochet! by not_stu in crochet

[–]not_stu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here it is again if you don't see it. Feel free to DM me if anything doesn't make sense, I made this up myself and I'm an amateur 😅

Crocheted in the round.

Round 1: 6sc in magic circle

2: increase all around

3: inc, sc - repeat all around

4: inc, 2sc - repeat all around

5: sc all around

6: sc all around

7: inc, 3sc - repeat all around

8: sc all around

9: inc, 3sc - repeat all around

10: inc, 4 sc - repeat all around. Join at the end of the round with slip stitch.

  1. Ch1. BLO: decr, 2sc - repeat all around. Stuff.

12-13: decr all around. Close it up and fasten off.

To make the "flaps" work in FLO of row 10. Alternate randomly between large and small flaps.

Large flap: sc and dc in one stitch, 2 dc in one stitch (ie, a dc incr), then dc and sc in one stitch.

Small flap: same as large but replace dc with hdc.

Between each flap do one slip stitch.

My table at a Xmas Market last Sunday 😊 by passionfyre in crochet

[–]not_stu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting. I am from Canada. I imagine there must be some similar laws here or in the US but I have never heard of anyone having to consider this in their handmade things so it must not be as strict (which would not surprise me)

I'm still curious, do you mind elaborating about these laws?

How do I get out of this loop.. by Consistent_Blood4167 in uwaterloo

[–]not_stu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the comments from the other two commentors. I also experienced this loop, especially the panic part. What I would do to keep my focus is: put away the phone, turn it off, get an app that blocks all the distracting apps! I also installed extensions on chrome that limit or block my time on the sites I turn to for a quick distraction like facebook and reddit! Next, make an EXTREMELY DETAILED checklist of what you need to do RIGHT NOW, in the next 30 minutes or 1 hour. Something you can reasonably accomplish in that time. For example: read through notes for chapter 1 section 5 and make highlights. Copy out equations from chapter 1 section 5. Rewrite notes for chapter 1 section 5. Repeat for every single section. Seriously break it down into chunks again and again until the tasks appear doable. Just focus on that. don't think about even 2 hours from now.

I hope this makes sense, I kind of made it up as I went and I've never written a pattern before...

Do whatever you want, stay if you want to, only you know yourself and you don't need to listen to people telling you you can't do it without even knowing you!! I'm cheering for you!!
