"It need to be at least... 3 times bigger!"

Thank you! These look adorable

Thank you! This is really helpful

I think it's actually considered semi-synthetic due to the extensive chemical processes necessary to make it into a usable fabric

Al Pacino's nose does something to my brain. There's a completely unsuitable guy in work with a fantastic nose and I know it's going to get me in trouble

Bamboo fabric is actually highly processed if you look into it.

You think language is a minor part of ethnic or national identity? Why do you think it's always the first thing to be beaten out of a colonised nation? Language is identity. It is a binding force. Only a speaker of a majority language would think otherwise

It's not a tepid issue if you look into the history of what it took to be allowed bilingual signs here. The UK government wouldn't even recognise Welsh as a formal language until 2011. The struggle for equal treatment has been going on for a very long time in Wales. Long enough that the English have forgotten they ever even took our rights away from us

Yes gosh this was a bit confusing to read for me. She doesn't sound like a good friend but I'm a bridesmaid this year and besides politely asking how the planning is going I haven't been expected to help much at all. And I was low key angry that I've had to pay for all my stuff myself

How about Jude the Obscure? That one traumatises everyone

I think this is a sago palm. I have one too and it is also doing exactly this so I hope you get an answer. I was worrying that it was because it's not getting enough light but I'm not sure because it's been in the same spot for over a year with no problems.

Is your username a To Ramona reference? If so I love that song!

I have been meaning to read Epictetus for a long time! Thank you for sharing:)

Thank you!

Where are you quoting from? That's a very comforting idea and I'd like to read more if you have a source.

Field Commander Cohen?

Looks like this one has a little stitch in each ear to create a dimple too

I've made one of these before and instead of doing any decreases for the crown you just knit until it's the length you want and then bind off so it's all open at the top if that makes sense. Then you seam it closed and the little ears just sort of come out on their own.

Doesn't this whole analysis confuse Conrad and his narrator? Those quotes all come from the novel's narrator, who is different from Conrad himself. In my mind this kind of writing actively invites us to examine what the character is telling us. The writer is providing an opportunity to question his character's way of thinking.

The thing is democracy isn't set in stone anywhere in the world. It needs to be cared for and maintained like anything else. So when a government starts messing around with human rights and plans to deport asylum seekers, we don't resign ourselves to it as a consequence of democracy. As people interested in maintaining their democracy we make it known that we disagree with the direction we're being taken in. Gary Lineker is right, this is how all roads into fascism begin.

This just happened to me I think. Was with my boyfriend for five years, since we were 18. We spent most of the last couple of years in different places and the last year of the relationship was psychological torture for me. He was swinging wildly between declaring undying love and being extremely cruel and cold, even didn't talk to me for weeks at one point before showing up in my country, remorseful for about 2 hours before a week of even more coldness and distance. It felt like a test sometimes. He wanted a future with me but didn't want me now he said. When he started to talk about seeing other people I asked him not to contact me again and it took a week for him to call me, in tears, telling me I was the love of his life and he couldn't make any promises about not calling me again.

Reading this put things in perspective so thank you. He didn't want me anymore but was too scared to end something familiar and lose someone who would've done anything for him. It's been a while now and I'm in no way closer to getting over it. This isn't to shame you for how you behaved as a young man. Young men can be stupid and don't have any foresight. But thanks for giving me some perspective and reminding me why I did the right thing leaving.

Thanks!

Hairy! My mum said maybe wild carrot
