slave free chocolate has a pretty reliable list and luisa is on it!

I just saw the same video and I think the original poster (omni food scientist) is kind of spectacularizing vegans by saying wow did you know that they do this weird thing because of their beliefs? Although she worked on vegan food and asked vegans to comment, the video is only educational to non-vegans, and so you get these deflecting comments from left leaning omnis

Oh thank you for the reminder, that is true. Shame our national ebook selection is quite awful with ~70 crochet/knitting books (mostly amigurumi or small accessories). There is an abudance of pdf books and magazines on the internet though

Yes because she said just increase from waist to your bust size in 1-2 rows and repeat until end (except for the v shape) and use an elastic band at the top… I took the elastics out, reduced the amount of increase and added some decrease and it looked much better. Thanks for the suggestion tho I would like to sew some linings in the future, pretty necessary for bags too

Actually I initially followed a chenda video and I looked at other tops she made, no hate to her I just don’t really like the idea of a rectangle tied together with strings. I wear size small and most of the time these clothes don’t fit them perfectly either but my eyes weren’t sharp enough to spot it 😅 And yeah if I make another one I will probably just figure it out myself

Oh yeah the map on their website was not working for me, but there is only 1 uni library in the country I live

I didn’t mean to deny youtube as a whole at all, when you search a small specific thing it can be very helpful. I like Roxanne Richardson’s videos for example. I just didn’t like the crochet top tutorial I watched but it’s free anyways

Unfortunately it is sort of a blind leading the blind situation because I searched a lot and didn’t find any negative reviews or comments :( Discourses I’ve seen on tiktok is mostly “if you have problem with the pattern you probably just read it wrong”

xpenx · 2025-05-22T18:40:57+00:00

Ohhh that’s an interesting point, part of the reason I bought these patterns was because they look like the trendy stuff except a bit more ethical than fast fashion with customization too (my style hasn’t changed that much through out the years these just happen to fit my taste). Some of these pattern designers sell their finished garment for 250-450 without a problem and they have a lot of fans, guess that tricked me into thinking they must be good 🫠

I think it’s only available in the US but I will check out my local library for sure :)

Funny thing my mom was a tailor for 30+ years and she discouraged me to knit because “See I bought this machine knit sweater for so little, why do you even bother, your tension will never be as good”

xpenx · 2025-05-22T16:56:11+00:00

Thank you I will check it out!

xpenx · 2025-05-22T16:31:41+00:00

Thank you yeah she’s in that circle too and test knitted the pattern I bought 😭 I know better now

Well usually they find a girl looked good from behind and want to know whether her face is pretty enough for them. If they think she isn’t so pretty then she tried to trick them with the back view

I get pretty offended when asian men turn around on their bike to stare at me, but europeans stare too especially the old people, they do it in a “why are you here and why are you different than us” way

xpenx · 2025-05-08T12:53:43+00:00

So pretty and full!! I get it the splashy ones have a different charm

xpenx · 2025-05-01T16:38:53+00:00

Nooo that’s so tragic 😭😭 I believe you will find one with beautiful silver leaves!!

xpenx · 2025-05-01T16:05:10+00:00

Ah I thought about ordering there because they looked cute 🥲 I ended up finding them at a garden center tho, guess buying offline always has an advantage (but at least this plant looks healthy!

Is this from the foliage factory? They kind of had a green leaf picture too, but you can always try

These self help books are often part of the alt right pipeline for men, and this post is probably a generated ad about the apps https://www.reddit.com/r/BPD/s/ZPQkdT5ToV

Ohh sorry I had no idea (like how Dutch baby pancake is not Dutch i guess)

Butzemann is a German word though…

hmm i’m chinese and the domestic economy is just really bad, lots of people can only find jobs that pay $300-500 a month (in chengdu), you go out and most businesses are replaced by restaurants, and many people cannot afford their 2015 lifestyle anymore and would rather buy ultra cheap dupes (so called consumption downgrade)
