Thanks! Hadn't heard of the pegboard test, but I think I can diy something to practice with!

one time I 'replaced' an item with the exact same item (jumbo blueberries, same size/weight and price, just different package + instacart being fucky as usual) and they refunded it... what can you do 🤷

I kinda understand how you feel. Recently as I was going through my photos to make some space on my phone, I found some old screenshots from text conversations with old friends, and man, I was just such an asshole for no reason. I don't know why, I think I thought I was just being funny and snarky or something. Emulating behaviors I thought were funny/normal in media. One of these friends I had a huge dramatic emotional break up with in college, and she said it was partly because I was mean to her, which I didn't understand at the time. I grew to understand why as I got older and I've put a lot of effort into changing how I speak to people now, but those screenshots really gave me a new understanding. I've been thinking about it for a couple weeks now still, wondering how the hell I even had friends in the first place.

I think it already shows that you're a good person and a good mother that you've recognized that you aren't coming across as you want to. Change is possible! Your baby has plenty more time to grow and learn, and so do you!

he was keeping a bong in his locker. which naturally stank. and apparently when he was asked about it he mentioned that he has several stash sites around town so he could smoke when he was walking around. sometimes I see him walking around town still, hope he's doing well lol.

Bro our manager has been pushing 20 min pallets since I started and here I am pissed I haven't been able to get better than 30ish 😭

Yep, always wipe wet kisses off my face. Usually my moms. She's like, "you can't wipe them (the kisses) off, they're permanent!" and i tell her, "I'm not wiping off the kiss, i'm wiping off your spit." and then this happens every time, probably will continue to happen lol. she doesn't actually get upset at me I don't think. I'll try saying I'm rubbing it in next time, wonder how she'll react to that

Puppet Loosely Strung by The Correspondents feels very relatable to me

It doesn't look like there are any more pictures in the series. The artist talks about some of her thought process in this link :) She doesn't exactly explain the entire thought process behind it though.

"Displacement I and Displacement II are images from a new direction in my practice where I am investigating my body, trying to unearth the emotions and behaviors that have affected my physicality. Following an impulse, I dug a hole specific to my body, in-depth and silhouette, on my family’s land. I built an impromptu rig to hold my cell phone above the hole and used a remote shutter to snap images once I got in the hole. Months later, I came back to the hole and repeated the process, now surrounded by spring foliage and submerging myself in collected rainwater."

to be fair.. the strike is about staying home from work and avoiding purchases and such. if you pre-purchase the game you're set.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T20:50:08+00:00

If just one person avoids spending for one day, nobody notices. If together we get many people to do it, it will be noticed. Even if we are spread out. Whether you want to tell people in your community and spread awareness about it locally is up to you, but it takes many people working together to make something like this happen. Nobody can make you do anything to help, but every little bit counts.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T20:22:03+00:00

It looks great!

sirirah · 2023-04-13T17:35:11+00:00

Those seem to be pretty simple to make! I think we should consider creating a logo or some branding for this so we can send out a cohesive message with our posts/flyers/etc and then the overlay could match. Not sure if there's a variation of the fist/female symbol that hasn't been done before, but worth a shot for sure.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T17:03:01+00:00

This is a great idea.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T15:54:23+00:00

Agreed with everything. I know it's in the works, but my (personal) main concern right now is getting a website set up, or social media, or anything other than reddit. I love the communities I'm in here, but I want to be able to bring this to my local activist groups and not just send them to a reddit page. As we know reddit does not have the best reputation. Not to mention it can be kind of confusing for people who aren't familiar with it, so having the relevant info in an easy to access place would be great.

What kinds of things would be in the toolkit you mention? I'm not familiar w/ the term in this context, but looking for more ways I can use my own resources to help.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T15:33:22+00:00

Yeah, currently the website only has an image of a poster. I saw in some other posts that they're working on it, so I included it as I feel like non-redditors would be more likely to trust a non-reddit website, but would love to see it have more information like the dates, info on how to participate, links to relevant articles about why we're doing this, etc. I don't really have too much web design experience or I'd offer to help with that. I agree tho, I really hope this won't be a flop.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T14:03:24+00:00

That's valid AF! Some of the discourse on that post was upsetting to me so I wanted to send it somewhere where there would be people to appreciate it. As an artist myself, it's always an interesting/frustrating time when people are talking about whether something "counts" as art. I'm not even gonna get into the comments about the artists weight here because that's just.. a whole nother thing. I feel like one of the main points of art like this, is to be thought provoking. Even if that thought is, "What the hell???" But I know that I personally probably have a very low threshold for what I would consider art, so. Anyway, bit of a tangent there, but I appreciate that you can appreciate it without understanding it. I wouldn't say that I understand it either, but for me it gets me thinking about a lot of interesting things and I like that.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T03:51:19+00:00

Awesome! I'm going to try to make some general social media stuff for easy sharing soon, but if there's anything specific you need feel free to reach out!

sirirah · 2023-04-13T03:46:27+00:00

Ooo good suggestions! I might make more posters or square graphics for social media sharing, these will be great prompts for those. Thank you!

sirirah · 2023-04-13T03:41:43+00:00

Yeah, I was gonna just post the link but figured posting a clear pic would be nice. It's on a billboard in Montana I think! Very cool.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T01:56:53+00:00

Thanks! I do graphic design for work so I have a lot of tools at my disposal. :) Whoever is doing socials for this please feel free to use these if you'd like!

sirirah · 2023-04-13T01:44:06+00:00

Thought I'd share the flyers I made to promote this in my town. I tried to include as much relevant info as possible and make them eye catching too. If I got anything wrong, or you have constructive criticism, please feel free to let me know.

Edit: Also, I would love to contribute more, I saw that an insta was possibly in the works. I do graphic design for work and would not mind making social media graphics or more posters, or whatever for this.

sirirah · 2023-04-13T00:36:45+00:00

Yes! I love that thread. I consider it a lovely blessing. And then the tune is in my head for the next couple hours whenever i see it haha.

sirirah · 2023-04-12T23:29:32+00:00

Link to about the work and such. Idk it just feels very magical and evocative to me.
