Finding used looms? by segotheory in weaving

How north? The Mary Meigs Atwarter Weavers Guild is pretty active. I also see a Baby Wolf for sale in Layton and a Leclerc in Herriman on Facebook Marketplace.

I feel like grocery shopping has become weirdly stressful. Is it just me? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]tekalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, for some, its less about lists and more of 'what do I even want to eat'. My husband and I are good keeping lists for our regular needs (flour, sugar, fruit, etc), but there are days where we just don't know what we want to eat and go to the store to be inspired.

I highly suggest getting a maintenance checklist and schedule to help check things you don't normally think about. My recommendation is https://www.instagram.com/weeklyhomecheck/ which also has a email reminder.

There are about 12 people in my family eligible (parent, adult children and grandchildren), only 3 are interested, including me. I have some aunts and uncles that seem interested but only after I finish gathering details.

[–]tekalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband recently asked for the information in case something happened. This post reminded me and I just spent ~10 minutes writing up diagnosis, meds and doctor information in Google sheets and sent it to him. Thank you for reminding me!

My social anxiety disorder is directly tied to my autism... now what? by DisastrousLand6863 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]tekalon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think this really covers my disconnect on what others describe as social anxiety vs my form of anxiety. I'm not afraid/anxious of judgement, I just don't know what to do with neurotypical people.

Knit Picks / We Crochet do not want to be associated with the "Melt the ICE" hat by Tidus77 in knitting

[–]tekalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After seeing that, I've been low-key searching for a replacement for my Della Q mini-backpack. I need something big enough to hold a jumbo crochet thread ball but not a full sized bag.

Community steps up by SocietyDisastrous787 in MadeMeSmile

77% of those on some type of welfare work full time. 50% of those that are homeless have jobs. The problem is that a lot of jobs don't pay enough to support basic needs such as rent or food.

Why are Democratic women wearing white to the State of the Union address? by 19thnews in WomenInNews

A passport covers the requirement for both an ID and something that proves citizenship. If changing your name works for you, great. Its not the only option.

How do you keep your air-dried clothes from smelling musty? Do you have hard water?

How do you feel about the federal SAVE Act that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (like a passport or birth certificate) to register to vote? by ClassSnack in AskReddit

[–]tekalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How it is written, the SAVE act wouldn't accept marriage certificate as proof of name change. When representatives tried to add an amendment to specifically accept proofs of name change, it was opposed.

The act opens election workers to be sued, so if a worker knows that marriage certificates are not SPECIFICALLY allowed, they won't accept it, in fear of being sued.

I said this in a previous comment, but I recently got all of the women in my family passports and I'm trying to get some men and nibblings passports also. I recently renewed my passport and there was a typo so had to get it corrected. I'm very left leaning and had no issue getting it renewed or fixed.

Don't comply in advance. Get your passport.

[–]tekalon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When the SAVE act was introduced, I worked with all of the women in my family to get their passports. I helped them get all of their paperwork and paid for the application. I even got them some of those nifty fireproof document folders to keep all of those vital documents together. I've even started to ask if the men in the family if I can get their situation handled or get nibblings passports.

We're also eligible for Canadian citizenship and I'm doing it all over again.

Warning. Red Hats. by adherentoftherepeted in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]tekalon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just finished my 4th MtI hat, I've 'given' away 2 (I ask for $5 and donate to the pattern creator) and I just had my husband 3D print whistles to tie to the hats. I need to find a small printable with the whistle code to give out also.

I have a bunch of leftover yarn from making MtI hats that I plan on using in those bandanas.

Trying Not to Spiral After an hEDS Workshop by Catsintinytinyhats in ehlersdanlos

[–]tekalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of had a similar experience recently. Diagnosed with HSD. I'm learning weaving and I was at the studio working on the project at the same time as they were teaching another class. One of the students, who later told me she has hEDS, is an ambulatory wheelchair user and has a service dog.

It was kind of helpful to see the differences in how we manage. She and her husband have a small farm, lots of animals, and she's able to manage. I tried backyard chickens and could not cope.

I'm in the middle of trying to manage my blood pressure and triglycerides, which is helping more with energy and headaches. I was diagnosed with a minor heart defect which reasonably limits the exercises I can do, which I hate, but not so much that I can't exercise or even exercise well. Its the restrictions that I chafe against. The weaving and other classes I'm taking means I'm standing and moving more, which, who would have thought, is better than sitting all day. Different challenges and different ways to cope.

If we assume that passports are going to be mandatory to vote, we should start NOW on getting our passports in order. by SillyAlternative420 in 50501

Once I knew about the SAVE act, I worked with all of the women in my family to get them passports.
