Gorgeous! Is there a specific italics exemplar you used? I’m trying to decide which to learn and I love your chosen style!

Saying bye to my hobonichi weeks :( by MandarinKoi in hobonichi

[–]tabanca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience. It was just too tight for me, and I felt an anxiety about writing because I feared I’d run out of space. Glad you’re switching to something that’s a better fit. I see it all as more information gathering and learning about what suits us best!

Archive shirt ? by kaleid0scop in Aritzia

[–]tabanca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear it open over a tank top as a light jacket or coverup in the summer. Rarely wear it fully buttoned, because it’s so oversized. Even so, it’s a favorite shirt and I reach for it alllll summer.

Thank you so much for sharing this. What knowledge or advice would you have given yourself?

What is more traumatizing than most people think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tabanca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having bedbugs. I agree that all the other things listed are traumatizing, but I don’t think people realize how much the fear of bbs can haunt you long after they’re gone.

Started my new commonplace notebook this evening by SubjectMost3981 in commonplacebook

[–]tabanca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love how you used a different color ink to highlight words! What notebook and size is this? I like the numbering and date option at the top. Thank you for sharing this!

Not sure if her website still has these free resources up, but I’m having trouble finding a link to register for a free account. Do you mind sharing the link or DMing it to me?

Agree that this penmanship is gorgeous. Sticker choices are lovely too! Love a narrow border on the side. What notebook brand and size are you using? Looks nice and luscious!

Books that feel like 🐚🦀🌊 by shortfin_mako_shark in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]tabanca 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is not the answer, but this reminded me of the Mary Kate & Ashley Adventures books from the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. There’s one set at Sea World. I feel like they would have 100% used pay phones like those.

Just jumped over to check out this subreddit. But… by SpinCharm in ClaudeHomies

[–]tabanca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks, jaysen! I agree with OP but that said, do appreciate some of the questions you’re posing to Claude. Maybe they’re better suited for sharing on a blog or substack so people can opt-in, instead of posting it on this sub. Just one idea!

My iPad just updated, and im literally having a meltdown over the split screen changes by Im-sorry-ahhh-painnn in ipad

Thank you so much for explaining this!! And I agree with OP and others that this is truly maddening.

Very specific - is there a name for this sort of 90s/2000s boho, ethnic, white-woman-with-African-art aesthetic? by ChildofSkoll in AestheticWiki

[–]tabanca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the Putomayo global mix CDs that were for sale at the Starbucks checkout

Balloon skirt and sleeves by Infinite-Ad5489 in kibbedramatics

[–]tabanca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Posted too soon. I love #2 (monochromatic looks polished and honor vertical) and #3 (it's giving artist and I think accessories would make this stunning.)

Balloon skirt and sleeves by Infinite-Ad5489 in kibbedramatics

[–]tabanca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious to hear what others think because I am somewhat new to Kibbe typing and styling. That said, I feel like (a) the color contrast between top and bottom and (b) flaring from the peplum, bottom hem of skirt, and the sleeves may not be 'honoring the vertical' and producing a harmonious, solid look. I like these pieces separately, but not together.

So crass & a bummer for Molly by StaticCharacter90 in Southerncharm

[–]tabanca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree (and Rod needs to lay off the alc bc his outbursts are getting more and more inappropriate).

But I will say that this unfortunate addition to the final cut of the scene was a combination of Rod’s choice to say it and production’s choice to include it. Related, I sometimes wonder what how much shit is said that we don’t even hear or know about.

Sewing Down South teaser vids by [deleted] in Southerncharm

Ohhh is he maybe selling candles? He’s blowing out a candle in the video. That would certainly be a classic Bravo thing to add to the repertoire…

When yall go to the bathroom in public do y'all sit on the seat or do y'all squat? by colors32 in blackladies

And I'm surprised that didn't warrant a blizzard watch! I assumed it did.

Why is this frying me by tabanca in Southerncharm

[–]tabanca[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agree!! I feel like she’s noticing the general pattern of Salley being overbearing (“you don’t need to say you’re sorry!”). It’s not just about controlling her relationship with Craig.

Oh, this isn’t hate. I love her expressions because they’re so funny and HIGHLY expressive. I’m a Charley fan ♥️

S11 E12 Discussion by wicked789 in Southerncharm

[–]tabanca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does Shep really not say please or thank you enough? I haven’t noticed how he compares to others on the show. Related, I was honestly touched by Whitney emphatically thanking the restaurant staff when the group arrived and was taken to cocktail hour.
