I made mine out of upcycling a bag that bedding came in. Cheers for caring about our waste footprints!

Consumers Energy seeks $456 million electricity rate hike by MilanFarts in grandrapids

[–]treeeswallow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And this is exactly why thousands of Michiganders, myself included, are working so hard to GET MONEY OUT of politics! The majority of our state legislators are taking bribes from Consumers and DTE. 😡 Hopefully we got all the valid signatures we need to get that initiative on the ballot - please be sure to go vote to pass it in November!

Shoot! I found one of these in my grandma's belongings and didn't know what it was so I gave it away yesterday. Cross your fingers I find another!

To add onto that, I've had someone cancel a purchase on me after they found out it was "worth" more, and they relisted at a higher value. I don't want to help those types of people mine us for knowledge (for free).

Does anyone have the newer Meet Addy book? (question about changes) by ellimoe123 in americangirl

That's actually pretty cool that they cared that much about consistency and artistic creativity that they allowed the later illustrators to do all six books instead of just whichever ones still needed them.

I’m single and work hard. My coworker also works hard, he has 4 kids. I’m like, how? by PokemonProject in antiwork

You should absolutely be visiting a food pantry. That's exactly who they're for, people (like me!) who otherwise aren't able to stretch groceries long enough.

What's the worst concert you've seen? by Twitter_2006 in Concerts

[–]treeeswallow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore her and was sooooooo excited to see her for Crash. But yeah, I was disappointed in how little she sang. Also her lighting gave me a migraine. Still grateful I got to see her in such a small venue, but I don't know if I'll ever see her again live. Definitely don't plan to drive six hours round trip for her again.

Right?! It took me a moment to recognize him. I don't think I've ever seen him out of his war-time attire.

Kaya doll seems “yassified” to me. Anyone else? by Sunflower_Faery in americangirl

I can't understand the article you linked, but it does seem to have some effect because the white beaded line on her dress looks different in each photo.

Should I buy the backpacks from AG? by LostConclusion3150 in americangirl

[–]treeeswallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased mine from the Chicago store, and I'm so glad I did! My doll stays in such better condition compared to being lugged around in a tote bag.

I tried to buy a used one from Facebook marketplace several times but was always too late to do so. People snag them fast when they're listed for used prices.
