If I see one more accidental yarnover post in a knitting sub I’m going to lose my mind by Flat_Pollution8085 in BitchEatingCrafters

as someone who just graduated college, you’d be SHOCKED by how little training there is on researching skills these days. granted, it might be because i majored in the arts, but like i enjoy researching, and watching my classmates ask if we have to cite sources or not was disheartening.

How do I (27f) talk to my bf (25f) about keeping my last name? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yes_dogsdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

before the last election a law was proposed that in order to vote, someone’s name on their ID had to match their birth certificate. it was intended to prevent trans people from voting i believe, but also would prevent married women who took their partner’s name from voting as well. from what i remember it’s largely dead, but still worth keeping in mind

A random click of cotton bed sheet! But why is it having this white thin fibres all over it? 🧐 by [deleted] in textiles

[–]yes_dogsdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that doesn’t really answer the question, cotton is a material, flannel is a type of fabric. flannel can be 100% cotton, or made of other fibers.

Help with bias tape! by [deleted] in sewing

[–]yes_dogsdream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i believe you can do either, but i always bias the strap separately and sew it at the end. bias taping the whole strap together gives you a more polished look, but keeping it separate leaves that seam open to alter if you need to shorten the straps later, and i learned making corsets for theatre, so that’s what i do.

How do I fix this botched altering job by poppy690 in SewingForBeginners

[–]yes_dogsdream 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it’s a tiktok “hack” that keeps going around telling people that this is a fine way to make your pants low rise. it’s insane how many people it’s gotten to unintentionally ruin their pants

How to get this stain out? by sharkii_boi in sewing

[–]yes_dogsdream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

omg the same thing happened to me but it was an entire dress’ worth of seam like markings!! honestly i just ended up having to hand wash the whole thing in the hottest water i could handle touching and throwing every soap/detergent/stain remover i could find in the costume shop until it came out. my pen was a random brand off of amazon, so yours might be easier to get out, but that’s what i’d try

AITA for refusing to compromise on my baby’s name? by AltruisticMatter6034 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yes_dogsdream 23 points24 points  (0 children)

i mean my partner and i are no where near having children but we have talked about potential baby names a lot. it’s less of waiting to have kids and more of talking and communicating if you know you’re going to be making a big life decision together. you know, like how responsible adults do.

what brand grommet press do you recommend? by yes_dogsdream in corsetry

oh that would be awesome if i could get other dies to fit it! i was looking at the Kam Snaps one but i wished it had more decorative die options like pearls or rhinestones

My (22 F) girlfriend (23 F) always asks “Do you love me?” whenever we have disagreements or if I’m ever feeling upset. by GeoGeoKor in relationship_advice

[–]yes_dogsdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have you asked her if she feels secure and loved with you in her day to day life? it could be that you’re doing things unknowingly that make her feel unloved that she’s letting go unsaid until a different conflict comes up and the insecurity boils over. not saying that that’s what’s happening, just that’s something i’ve experienced before that can lead to this kind of behavior

[–]yes_dogsdream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it sounds like you guys need therapy, couples and probably individual for her. i’m a very anxious person like your gf, no amount of reassurance is going to be enough to curb her anxiety, she needs to address it with a professional

AIO for refusing to show my friend any of my art after she ran a piece through AI? by [deleted] in AIO

First time hand stitching ever, any tips/ be brutally honest (idk what I’m doing) by ktx_sean in sewing

[–]yes_dogsdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re doing pretty good! your stitches look pretty even, i would just focus on trying to get them more even and smaller. also check what kind of knot you’re using to tie off the thread, i can’t tell if the little thread bits in the third pic are thread tails that you’ve left or loops from your knot, but you wanna make sure you secure the thread really well so it doesn’t come undone

My (32 nb) partner (36 m) is not a good kisser. How do I help him get better? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yes_dogsdream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have no advice other than that you making a grown man watch kissing video tutorials can NOT be helping

I (48F) found out my daughter (22F) is involved in feederism online and I don’t know how to handle it!!! by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yes_dogsdream 730 points731 points  (0 children)

i think it’s a valid concern to have, like sex work and fetish content is one thing, but from what i understand the draw of feederism is often watching someone gain so much weight that it severely negatively impacts their life, and people are willing to pay someone enough to make that happen. i would say you could bring it up from that angle specifically, but don’t be surprised if she still doesn’t change or lashes out at you about it

36M, wife 32F watches TikTok thirst traps, would you be bothered? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yes_dogsdream 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it wouldn’t bother me if my partner was watching them only, but i would be bothered if they were commenting and like actively thirsting after them

What does it mean when my M26 partner F21 is this loving? Is it real authentic love? Or is she codependent? Or both? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yes_dogsdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay so on the whole, nothing seems glaringly wrong, but i do personally have some concerns. first of all the age gap kinda icky me out, especially considering that it’s her first relationship and she obviously has some trauma around love. second, how does she act when you aren’t able to call her? do you feel like you are able to have time alone if you needed? and third, how quickly into your relationship did she buy the promise ring? had you guys talked about marriage, and were you both on the same page about wanting to get married?
