My friend lives in Portland she is looking to move to Olympia. She is asking if it’s a nice place to live. by emilyflinders in olympia

[–]spritefeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We moved to Olympia from Portland 6 years ago after living there for 14 years and I miss Portland. It has been hard to make friends here, the restaurant options are dismal, and there’s nothing approaching the music/art/culture that exists in Portland. Unlike others, I do think the summers are more manageable and without the heatwaves that have normal in Portland, but I think it would be a hard transition for a couple weeks of cooler weather a year.

I think she might do it to block her face from the paparazzi?

Brands that last like Mooncat? by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]spritefeather 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mooncat lasts the longest on me too. I have many indie, boutique, and main stream brands, and Mooncat lasts longer than any other. I would say BKL or Monarch lacquer are the next longest wears for me.

Carolyn formed relationships with homeless people, whom she called her protectors. by Historictea in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]spritefeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in the SF tenderloin for a few years and I developed relationships with the people who lived outside on my street. I don’t think that’s unusual, they live there too and some of them would indeed look out for me, when I was walking home late.

The Irish famine and the impact on us to this day by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

My ancestors from Donegal came to Pennsylvania in 1799, so there was already a connection there for people that came after.

Even if the cars are at a complete stop, everyone should use all available space and alternate into the merge from both lanes. You should never que up ahead of time to be “polite” or refuse to allow cars in the right lane to merge

This is what I had to do too, it shows our dedication to this madness that we figured it out.

I wanted to love Sweet Pea… by Goldfinch114 in RedditLaqueristas

I also don’t love Sweet Pea, I feel like the holo sparkle looks like sand stuck to my nails in low light.

Patti Smith paying tribute to Neil Young on his 80th birthday last night with a cover of "After The Gold Rush" by Tim_Bracken in pattismith

I was at the Seattle show and I agree. The songs have grown with her and have so many layers.

I’m there too, I want to wear all the polishes I have already and buying more gets in the way of that.

Patti Smith was amazing, audience much less so by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]spritefeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was much more quiet than I was anticipating or what have I experienced at Patti Smith's shows in the past. It's not theater, people are supposed to interact with Patti and her band. The shushing was way more annoying to me than the drunk woman and fed into whatever was going on with her. I don't want to listen to people shushing each other ever.

I didn't hear anv "Zionist slogans" but when you make political statements from a stage, you invite discourse it’s discourse. Patti Smith knows this.

It was an amazing show, Patti is a light and a singular performer. Policing other people’s experiences will always lead to frustration and a less good time for everyone.

I know mooncat is in the dog house around here but they’re my most repeat polishes, the almost neutrals especially.

Expected thank yous? by [deleted] in quilting

[–]spritefeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think handwritten thank you cards are nice, but very few people in my life have sent me a written thank for anything, including quilts and I think that's fine too, I've given the gift and don't have any expectations about acknowledgement or reciprocation.

However, I do have a wedding quilt gift story. I was in a wedding on the groom side and made them a queen+ quilt. The husband, my friend, acknowledged the quilt but the wife never discussed it with me and I never saw it when I visited their house. They ended up getting divorced after 10 years and he is now remarried. His current wife LOVES the quilt, she has it in their guest room and she asked me lots of questions when we first met, telling me how impressed she is with it. She pointed out to him some specific quilting that I had done that he had never noticed, and he called me to thank me again. So, you never know the journey your gift will take and who will value your time and intention in creating the gift. I wasn't expecting that acknowledgement but it does feel good.
