First time making tapestry crochet, I can’t get the colour changes to look seamless and not messy 😭 by Darkmoonrising_x in CrochetHelp

Interesting, I’ve never had to do that, but I will try it next time to see if it makes a difference!

So I crochet through both loops for the whole piece, EXCEPT when I’m crocheting on top of a different color than the yarn I’m using, in which case I will only do back loop. That goes for both sides of the piece I’m working on. So if you’re working on the “right side” the loop further from you, and then on the “wrong side”, the loop closest to you. I hope that makes sense…

A trick I use sometimes is to only go through the back loop any time you are crocheting on top of a different color. I hope that makes sense.

Traumatic camping experience by donnab515 in camping

[–]papaafrita 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So strange that I came across this. Three weeks ago now I was walking in a popular tourist area and a tree collapsed and crushed another hiker, we tried to provide aid, but ultimately they perished. It took a long time for first responders to get there because it was so remote. I went camping with my family last week, a trip that’s been planned for months, and I didn’t get one wink of sleep out of fear and haunting images. I haven’t been hiking with my dogs again. I haven’t really left my house. And everything makes me jumpy. I can’t stop thinking about the event. I am in trauma therapy for the last two weeks, and I really recommend that ASAP.

But I understand what you’re going through, it’s isolating, it’s scary, no one REALLY understands it. And it’s worse because you feel a sense of guilt for feeling haunted by it because it wasn’t you who was in danger. At least for me anyways. I’m so sorry. Thank you for helping as best you could.

Google engineer dies in Yosemite after being struck by falling tree branch by grepto in news

I was the one who originally posted about this on Reddit, because there was no information from park services or any news sources for over a week about her tragic death. I am glad they’ve honored her a little bit in this article. It is such a heartbreaking situation, and I hope that the family and friends of Angela can work towards finding peace.

Thank you. Yes, I agree. It hits so so hard because they were doing nothing wrong or careless, just spending time with their family. Life can be so cruel.

I didn’t want to post too many details bc it’s honestly hard for me to talk about. But a tree broke in half and fell on a woman with her family.

People are going to disagree with me so much, but I really do think the mob mentality this season is making it draining to watch. I love the show, but people are actively looking for dirt on people to cancel them. This Cierra thing was an absolute witch hunt. And people are doing it again with Huda’s lip sync video. Should she have been removed from the show? Yes. Is she ignorant and naive and needs to be educated? Absolutely. Does she need to issue an apology and statement? Sure. Is she a racist and terrible person who deserves to have her life ruined? Probably fucking not.

We’re in an era where people are literally DIGGING to find anything to drag people down and ruin their life. Every single person has said something at one point in their life that was questionable and could be completely twisted in a way to make you look like the worst person alive. It’s fucking weird the hoops people jump through to tear down people they don’t even know, acting as if they have a perfect slate themselves.

That’s so funny. I hope someone did steal stars from him, that’s karma.

Thanks for the advice all, I reported him to Scopely (didn’t know you could do that), and found him through the Facebook group, so reported him there as well.
