Theres This Thing I Encounter A Lot As A Textile Artist, Where I'll Be Giving A Gift/showing My Latest

does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?

bastille is correct. how AM i gonna be an optimist about this?

They did it again

yesterday at the game shop someone asked me when I started 3D printing. I told them a couple years ago, it was really easy to get into, sometimes I make things for commission, etc etc

then this person, this child, looked me square in the face and said "do you think it's too late for me to start? I'm almost 17..."

17

almost 17

ALMOST. SEVEN. TEEN.

when I tell you my soul left my body over this child, this mere not-even-17 year old, thinking they were already too old to start a new hobby, lemme tell you, I did not know how to respond

so i need yall to repeat after me

it is never too late to start a new hobby

it is never too late to start a new hobby!

it is never too late to start a new hobby!!

you wanna learn to crochet at 47? go off king! learn to paint at 69? nice! learn embroidery on your death bed?? it is literally never too late!! you don't even have to be good. it's absolutely wonderful to see people who are just ok or even bad at something doing that something unabashedly and at whatever age they happen to be

I'm going through old photos and-

uweuwueueeue

Im rewatching this and realized I'm in the same position lmao

it's not uncomfortable. in fact, it's very comfortable if you, like me, sit on your legs and such.

Video Idea: Rumplestiltskin and Belle from Once Upon a Time to the song "Devil Doesn't Bargain" by Alec Benjamin

Hey Guys,

I know this is very out of the blue, especially since I have been offline this website for a hot minute lol. But I find this to be very important to share:

Please try to listen to this podcast, "The Deck Investigates". Look it up. You can listen to it on pretty much any platform (I hope) or you can listen on their website thedeckpodcast.com.

If you choose to not listen to the podcast, I will not hold it against you. You are your own individual person with your own agency and I acknowledge that. The internet and marketing is very biased atm and I want to make it clear that I do not want to pressure anyone too much. However, I do encourage you to listen to what the hosts and family have to say about this case. It is a seemingly small case with huge holes; representing the so many unsolved and cold cases that could easily be solved if we were able to raise even a little more awareness so we can show how much these cases mean to the families, victims, and surrounding communities.

Anyways, I have to continue being slow here. School stuff is a lot and the amount of work is overwhelming, so I hope no one minds if the silence continues a bit longer. I hope you all have good present moments to counter the bad ones :)

Okay, you can't show me a best friends story like this and not make me think they're a couple with this cover.

I'll believe it here. I'm a person who likes touch with friends I'm familiar with. but.. even I don't put my hand over a friend's hand to help them paint. So. I have to wonder....

I see both options viable.

Death by Existential Crisis

Honestly both of them look more like they're having an existential crisis than a dead body
