  • Fabrics, pattern drafting, and sewing techniques. Historical clothing and corsetry. History, soooo much history. Religious movements, belief systems, and paradigms. Language, writing, and literature. Plants and gardening. Birds and bugs. Tea and tisanes. Houses, their interior systems and construction, renovating them, maintaining them, and hacking their unique quirks and issues.

  • 80s baby who was always told "you just don't try hard enough". Sitting in my messy house, with two leaks that need to be addressed, having just been promoted for the second time in a year and feeling very called out.

  • I set aside 20 minutes in the morning to journal. It's become sacred to me. It helps me clear my head and set my focus for the day.

  • Also grew up calling them potato bugs, northeast US?

  • Explaining would destroy the mystery which would be uncool since they've been working so carefully on building it.

  • I am always reading one of Jarod K Anderson's collections of poems and I recommend them to everyone.

    Currently reading, "The Bullet Swallower" by Elizabeth James García. Yes, I would recommend it to any fans of magical realism and/or Cormac McCarthy.

    Last book I read was "The Mirror and the Light" by Hilary Mantel. I would recommend it only to history nerds like me lol

  • Sheesh, I must have missed the memo where caretaking a family member required making it your entire personality. Hope you and your family member are doing ok.

    As a team lead who is in the process of hiring for three separate positions, I would treat any applicant who insisted on the transferability of their clearly unrelated skills as a "not a good fit" candidate. I get the importance of soft skills, and I value those, but to maintain that a caretaker can seamlessly fit into basically any job role with just a little imagination is disingenuous and a little embarrassing. I'm looking for concrete skills, not spin. By all means, put your best foot forward, just don't wear clown shoes while you do it.

  • Appreciate the nuance! Also fully agree on the risk all new builds carry. I'm just salty because I spent all week arguing with them about the definition of the word façade lol

  • I can only speak for the Southern US but, developers want to build front-loaded units in subdivisions because they are more profitable. A rear-loaded garage costs a shit ton more in materials and labor, not to mention getting into impervious surface maximums vs lot size etc. I work in permitting/zoning, it's always money, always. Heads up, y'all, don't buy a D.R. Horton house if you can possibly avoid it, the more you know✨️

  • Just last month, I left work early on a Thursday, met my now husband at the local courthouse, and we got married! Cost about $50 bucks. We're happy as clams about it, our families wanted us to do more but, that sounds like a them problem honestly lol

    I do feel differently. Not more committed, I've long been ride or die with this human, but I get this sweet, sudden uprush of cozy emotions when I say, "my husband", or when he calls me "wife". I love him a lot and it makes me simultaneously very proud and very humble to declare that publicly.

  • I read it from the beginning every time hahaha

  • A suspicion of cats lol
