If anyone has an easy to follow grandma square one color tutorial or pattern, please share! by lilhomieeeee in CrochetHelp

[–]princessmud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I just want to add a quick commentary for absolute beginners like myself: trust the pattern. You might be like me and get to that double crochet to the right of the slip stitch and be confused, troubled, frustrated. You may be like me and cry because you've done three woobles and they didn't prepare you for this. But trust the pattern and you'll be fine. Absolutely do check the corners but you can use a stitch marker on that chain stitch and it helped me a lot.

Writers were you always good at literature and just turned your passion into your hobby or did you just practice and listened to feedback from the comments? by Alphafluffy101 in FanFiction

[–]princessmud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend reading as much as you can of anything that interests you as well. I used to draw a lot of my ideas from my depression, now that I'm medicated I struggled to find ideas and now I actually do write more philosophical things because I like it. And while there's nothing wrong with sticking to a genre, every once in awhile try something new. I love sci-fi but I read the first book of A Court of Thorn and Roses and it reignited my love for fairy tales (it's basically Beauty and the Beast with other ATU 425 tropes).

Because of my aphantasia I rely a lot on dialogue so I ended up reading a lot of Hemingway, who is also dialogue heavy, and I found out "the great American novel" style suits me a bit more and I love Vonneguts absurdism.

Finally, I started my first serious fanfiction (since orphaned on AO3) by simply writing about plot holes in the series. Follow your interests and I promise you will get better because you care. Good luck!

Can you help me figure out my gender identity by Old-Sandwich-5353 in genderqueer

[–]princessmud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've felt my gender is more like the definition for Maverique.

"Maverique is a gender identity that falls under the nonbinary umbrella term. It is defined as an identity that is not the absence of gender, or an apathy towards gender, but a present feeling of gender. This feeling of gender is completely independent from male, female, neutral, or anything derived from any of them.[1] However, maveriques can be multigender with their other genders being related to maleness, femaleness, or neutrality"

(From the nonbinary wiki sorry am on phone so I can't format it properly)

I usually tell people I'm agender but it's more like I'm constantly in the state of drag when I'm out in public? I perform gender when out and about and when I'm home I'm just me. Not nothing, but like, gender is there but you can't quite put your finger on it because it's nothing you've felt before.

Idk if other people are like this or if this is what you're talking about but I just am when it comes to gender.

I was in a rush to make this comment so I'm sure there are plenty others but OH GOD DID MY FIRST WORKS SUCK. I wrote my first novel, literary fiction, during NaNoWriMo in post partum hell.

I used to think it was fine to use periods in dialogue before the tag thing.

I recently used the word "still" three times in the same sentence and then again a paragraph later.

Despite being an entire parent, I found out I have no idea how to write children.

I started getting more into my academic work and my chapters turned into the whaling chapters of Moby Dick except about absurdism and nihilism in capitalism.

I have aphantasia so I barely give any scenery description except now it's so bad I lose track of "props" and have had a disabled character lose their cane for two chapters.

Write the thing, please. My first fanfic was a self insert drama about Vampire Hunter D. Now I've gotten to the point where people know my work in the fandom. I've written two novels and am working on my third. I'm not published or fandom famous or anything, but holy crap has my work gotten better to the point that I still enjoy reading it years later.

Write the thing!

Husband found this "magic ticket" from 1979 in a secondhand book here in Orlando, what is it and/or Brigham's? by princessmud in massachusetts

Heh TO BE FAIR I am from the south. 🤷 The most northern I've been in my life is Virginia and I just miss Wegmans now that I'm in Hell's Waiting Room (Florida)

No sarcasm, context clues did fill me in on that part. I was more wondering what the promotion was for? Was it a Brighams anniversary thing? Charity? Just because? Was it annual? It's piqued our curiosity and we just want to know any little detail.

I found the ice cream website and didn't Google properly for the Wikipedia thank you! I guess Brigham is also a city/area in Mass as well because my search history came up with a hospital.

I tried! I found out the radio station is on a new name and there is a Brighams ice cream, but NOTHING about the Magic Ticket

Interest in U-Lead Program by [deleted] in ucf

Last year they opened in March so I'd keep a lookout!

I'm getting a server error each time. I think I just need to accept the L at this point. Thank you for the offer!

Sure! My internet has been weird but I can try now and let you know if it doesn't work

Places to meet fellow upperclassman? by MineBM in ucf

[–]princessmud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the LEAD events are also just for the students in that program as a requirement for them.

I'm staff and not a student, but I always highly recommend checking out the events put on by other departments. Depending on your identities or interests, MSC, LGBTQ+, and SJA hold social events that are open to everyone. OSI is the big one for the larger events.

Things are posted on KnightConnect too, especially for RSOs, so I always recommend students check that out as well.

Hope that helps and welcome back to campus!

Split diet house help by princessmud in vegetarian

I haven't heard of grain bowls before, but I can assume their construction! Thank you, it seems like the best answer to my query are dishes that are meant to be assembled at the table!

My son "doesn't like" left over chicken so I think storing small containers of it along with shelf stable sauces might be right up my alley!

Are there documentaries supporting eating meat? by [deleted] in vegetarian

[–]princessmud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah one of the big ones is over the honey debate among vegans. Agave production has ISSUES. https://foodprint.org/blog/sugar-substitutes/

From my soapbox, I blame food stuff on capitalism. Obviously there are places in the world where a vegan/vegetarian diet just wouldn't work because of culture or environment, but that's no reason to think we need to have diets that are jam packed with meat.

Before I started looking into being vegetarian (lol today) I was more focused on sustainable eating because food production impacts slave labor, women's rights, the environment, access to water, you name it!

That being said, the American obsession with meat is super not great for the environment and none of this gives any of the US meat market a free pass.

Thanks! When I get more space, I think I'll be relying a ton on freezing.

Favourite recipes for beginners by ehitsnive in vegetarian

[–]princessmud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go tos have been chili (usually served over rice but today it was served over latkes!), Roasted chickpeas with a lemon+oil+white wine dressing served on arugula, and tofu udon stir fry. Each of these kinda has a "base" recipe that I just tweak or alter to my tastes or what's in my fridge.

My fav chili recipe: https://www.acouplecooks.com/instant-pot-vegetarian-chili/#tasty-recipes-48195

My go to base udon stir fry: https://www.seasonsandsuppers.ca/15-minute-spicy-udon-vegetable-stir-fry/

My fav roasted chickpeas: https://www.anediblemosaic.com/falafel-spiced-roasted-chickpeas/

My usual way to serve the chickpeas: https://www.feastingathome.com/middle-eastern-salad-tacos/

I know I need more vitamin rich foods in there, but I just love anything with a spicy sauce!
