Don't give them any ideas

I've never met a farmer who didn't give their dogs a large area to roam, with the exception of when the girls are in heat. Yeah, only two of my mates let their farm dogs into the house, but it's not fair to make blanket statements.

Not quite the same, but I'm waiting for the day when people will pronounce street names like the GPS, instead of how they are actually pronounced. The street Schoenherr, in my neck of the woods is pronounced "Shane urr (yes, like the planet Omicron Percii 8, cause Detroit (Day twah) is weird), but the GPS says "Shown her". I'm really curious to see how long it takes for the computer voice to be considered the correct one.

Something I'm seeing a lot is the statement "I'm not distancing myself because of political differences, I'm distancing myself because of moral differences"

Anyone who is happy at the expense of others losing rights, is not different from you politically, they're different from humanity, as far as basic ethics.

You're not selfish. You're strong. Stronger than me and I'm proud of you for trying to fight to help your dad, but please don't do it at your own expensive. I'm pan and non-monagamous but buried further in the closet than a cable that "definitely will be useful in the future" because my family would turn on me in a heartbeat.

Thank you! You're awesome

I can verify this! My roommate works for the DOD. He can't tell me much, but every federal worker has been warned they're going to be purged and replaced with staff Elon chooses. In addition, mandatory Return To Work orders have meant that many of his coworkers will be let go for "missing work" despite the fact that the military knows they moved and they've been working remotely for almost 5 years. It's skuzzy as fuck.

The thing that got me in this article was the idiot politician saying that "Christians are being targeted"... oh you dumb toddler... you don't like how it feels to be "discriminated against" and your solution is to target and discriminate?! An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Digital items, but Amazon intentionally makes them impossible to find. There's a ton of e-books and Audiobooks that are $0.01 - $0.05, but Amazon intentionally buries them under the "free with Kindle subscription" crap, so that people can't milk this without really putting in the effort

Oh my goodness! So cute!

Some people have no regards for lives other than their own... and often get violent if a living being won't obey them. I'm a domestic abuse survivor, so there was no way I was gonna leave without him.

And thank you! He's dressed as Wolf Link. 😁 I am a cosplayer, and since he's my medical alert dog, he goes with me to comic cons.

I got sterilized because I have a painful, degenerative, genetic condition (with no cure), that I feel is too cruel to pass on. I won't risk letting a child be born with this syndrome, so I made the choice so I never have to deal with getting pregnant. If I ever want a kid, I'll adopt. (Doubtful. I can barely take care of myself like this)

Every day hurts, there's LOTS of days I wish I was aborted but I look at my rescue dog (who had been my service dog for 9 years now) and everything is OK. He was thrown away twice before I came along and his first owner kicked his teeth in. If I wasn't here, who knows what could have happened to him.

Pet Tax. You can see where his face was kicked, but nothing stops him from smiling

I saw these dress form Christmas Trees for sale and thought it could be improved. I've been making costumes for 13 years and wanted to give myself a challenge. Except for the wig, every piece was handmade.

-I cut up an old skirt to make the corset and used the biggest zip ties as boning

  • Tore apart wreaths for greenery, pinecone, and silver pieces

  • Cut up a hoop skirt and designed a chicken wire underskirt for support

  • Used scrap leather for the harness

  • Hand sewed 160 keychain rings onto the green high-low skirt I made, so branches could be attached

  • Got a bunch of garland from a craft store and had a friend wire cut them into different sizes, to shove into the keychain rings and make it look like a Christmas tree

  • Sewed the collar

  • Modded fake white Poinsettia flowers so they could be attached to the corset, headpiece, and skirt

  • Used a wire, fake cardinal, and pieces ripped from the wreaths to make the Headpiece

I'm so proud and so happy! It was the most time consuming, expensive, and complex costume I've ever made and it's the cleanest and most gorgeous thing I could have imagined!

Though I have no idea where to store it (it's been my literal Christmas tree this season) and the skirt alone weighs about 35lbs. 😅

 

When I got her, she was so small that I had to cut a sock for her to wear as a sweater because nothing fit. She's an Aussalier; half mini Australian Shepherd and half King Charles Cavalier; and the most loving dog.

 

So excited to share my Lady Maria from Bloodborne! I even got to shoot it at an 1800s victorian mansion! Everything is handmade or highly modded. I 3D printed the Rakuyo myself and it does transform like in the game! I'm so happy with how it turned out!

I'm ShelbyEileenCosplay and happy to answer any questions you might have! There's a spicy version of this too.

 
 

I'm a cosplayer, so I make costumes for my service dog too!

 

I’m ShelbyEileenCosplay and am really excited to see that textile arts are included in this instance! I’ve been sewing for 12 years and armor crafting for 10, and competing in cosplay contests for 10. It’s the most challenging and fulfilling hobby I’ve ever tried and I love it so much.
