They exist, I lady a garbage lady for a while. My sister in law is head of collections for a large city. She doesn’t actually touch the garbage though.

Seamstress - Seamfighter

Why no Canada?

All good points. If i was just starting out, I’d find any old machine at the second hand shop and play with it for a week. If I was enjoying myself, I’d jump right into a nice Janome. I have what was called a “school model” which is the most basic with the least stich options. Then after a few months if I hadn’t given up yet, I would probably look for an old industrial (provided I had the room). A Juki DDL or a Pfaff 545 can be found for under $1000 and there is no comparison in using a little home machine compared to an actual sewing unit.

Although, I’m an upholsterer and run a Pfaff 1245 so I’m biased to the heavy stuff.

I think it’s the tucking of the shirt into the shorts that ruins the look. The shirt should be one of those Andre The Giant get-ups with the snaps in the crotch so as to do away with those unsightly panty lines.

The arctic circle?

All this talk about pronouns, I just want to know your adverbs. Mine are Lazily and Slowly.

It seems to me the kaleidoscoping of the unity that rainbow flag aimed for doesn’t make the community stronger. I feel the drive to have some constantly evolving all inclusive name and define each and every subset of queer hurts the brand. Instead of a united community there’s tiny little fifedoms that are cliquey and far from universally welcoming. By so rigorously defining the individual the community gets lost and the message gets drowned in a see of voices yelling their specific flavour of gay.

It brings this joke to mind:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!” Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

This is just my observation as an old out of touch cis guy with a queer daughter.

You is what you am

If ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more people happy?

So in this case they’re saying carpet but mean flooring.

I haven’t been to many gyms, but is there usually carpet in gyms? Seems gross.

I paint a design pretty good

If you’re just going to pop out to the store, don’t neglect your wardrobe! Dress for the ditch, not your destination. If you slide off the road you don’t want to be freezing to death in your sneakers and hoody trying to dig your car out. Bonus points for bringing a shovel, trying to dig your car out with an ice scraper sucks.

I too have long hair and was often misgendered. I grew a beard to stop the confusion but if I ever want to shave I might have to get this t-shirt.

Sewing machines are about 30% slotted grub screws by weight.

Now do eachother

Is this a political compass meme? I’m reasonably sure it’s not loss…

I… ummm… uhhh… AROOOOOOOOOOO!

No, that’s UFC. You’re thinking of the street drug known as angel dust.
