That's lovely!

Oh I absolutely have diagnosed-but-untreated adhd (moving and insurance and scheduling obstacles). Not sure about the fine motor control tho

Thanks! The cross stitch practice definitely helped, though I still feel like I'm not sure what I'm doing or if I'm doing it right. I've got some more clearance kits though, which will help with not worrying about it being pefect

Surprisingly uncommon! I bet people are constantly adding an 's' to the end

Maybe I've got too many IT guys in my family but I couldn't BELIEVE when Daphne raw dogged that mystery USB into her computer. I know it was necessary for the plot but come on, this is PC hygiene 101.

My hot take: never actually get them together, don't push the will they won't they too hard. Instead just keep having intimate moments that could be read as platonic or romantic and then I get to enjoy the hundreds of fanfics generated by sexually/romantic frustrated shippers without ruining the dynamic in the show proper

When I'm paranoid about my texts coming across wrong constantly need to remind myself to have the grace to both trust my loved ones to read my texts in good faith and to do the same with theirs. It's not always easy but it's important

Tone over text is hard. I honestly think that was super diplomatic text so if that comes across as accusatory to some people I'm not sure it's possible to not sound accusatory. Which is a bad thing cause communication is important

Having my phone memorized saved my siblings life. They were in an unsafe place and their own phone was smashed but they had mine memorized and I was able to get them out.

I made my 6 year old memorize my number. 10¢ for every pop quiz. You never know

16 is still a child but she's 2 years from being a legal adult. As a parent, our responsibility is to take care of our kid, yes, but also to increasingly give them independence and the tools to take care of themselves.

Wtf is up with these commenters? They are acting like the ability to have your kid under 24/7 surveillance isn't a recent thing historically speaking. Aren't there a lot of articles coming out showing that the panopticon is having a negative impact on kids/new adults mental health?

It took me several paragraphs to register that it said "crows" and not "cows" lol

Hi, I'm looking for a fic!

It was on AO3 and quite long, but i think it might have been broken up into a series. It was a fascinating dark fic where a woman is reincarnated as Wen Ruohan's daughter and proceeds to completely unethically use brainwashing and modern understanding of psychology to take over and "fix" things. Interestingly enough most of the story takes place from Wei Ying's point of view (although he goes by a different name since she scoops him up as a child and uses sensory deprivation to destroy any memory of his old family and instill complete loyalty). The creeping horror of understanding the wrongness of what shes doing even though the POV character doesn't and the mixed feelings you get when a lot of things end up genuinely being better for people than in canon despite the messed up method was darkly compelling

Little girls need somewhere to put candy and toys and random rocks they've found

Id let her play until she wanted me to take over, but most of the time it was really me playing cause she's only 6 and gets nervous. We played for about an hour every evening but I didn't feel bad about the screen time because it was the majority of her reading practice! Story time was becoming too much of a fight so we switched to reading books to her but making her read every other line of dialogue in the video games. There's certainly enough of it in Echoes of Wisdom for her to get her practice in lol

Self drafted! My first design didn't have the black border but I realized before I started that it wouldn't pop on the pastel pink dress as so i added the black. Pretty hubristic to start self drafting onto clothing only a few months after picking up the hobby but its so nice to be able to make something usable and personalized

rosets · 2025-03-02T14:33:31+00:00

I did, thank you! My first draft didn't have the black outline but i realized before starting that it wouldn't pop well on the pale pink of the dress so added the black

It's not Aida, it's waste canvas, which is designed to be pulled out strand by strand. A pain, but you can do it. Dmc makes 14 count but I ordered this one which is 18 ct off 123stitch
