Every ex-girlfriend is "crazy."

To be fair, off meds at the time, I am actually someone's crazy ex.

Broke my lease a few weeks early and had to pay for the entire month. In the rental office, ready to turn in keys, there's a woman who's apartment was not move-in ready yet. But she had already left her old place and had no where to put all her stuff. I let her use my apartment since it was paid up and just going to sit empty. It's a risk, but she was really nice and grateful and it all worked out perfectly.

So you're a bottom.

Replace the word "republican" with "conservative" and see how non-sensical that would be. Punk is about rebellion against the status quo. It is literally the opposite of conservative.

I just started watching High Potential. It's a police procedural, which I don't care for #acab, but my mom likes them and this one has some qualities that make it watchable. There have been a few frustrations, but the most egregious so far is this:

Mother reports missing girls. Police captain insists they can't put out an amber alert until it's been 24 hours. In this, the year of our lord 2025, they decided to roll out that exhausted and dangerously incorrect trope. They even make comments later in the episode about how every minute counts toward finding them alive. I mean.

I took it a few days ago and would like to expound on my responses. I checked yes for feminist content, but noted that I hope the community doesn't become too political. That has different meanings to different people so I want to clarify.

There's a lot of negative stuff happening that is relevant to women. But if this community becomes just another space with post after post of whatever fuckery Trump or his ilk are up to, it will be too depressing to follow. Not that we can never discuss anything negative, but I, for one, would prefer for it to be a small percentage of the content here. If there's a win for something like equal pay or transgender rights, that's the political content I want to see.

I love button-down tops, and navy is in my color palette. I would go floral with that. Either my floral pants:

My skirt

Or jeans and blazer.

I'm a huge fan of the French tuck. I'm an apple shape, and I like the way it creates a gentle curve or angle across my figure instead of a straight line. The half-tuck is perfect for this shirt, but I've never been able to pull that one off without looking sloppy.

I'm hot-natured, so I would need to roll the sleeves up..

If I'm going out for fun, I top it off with a bow tie.

Empty spell slots is a good metaphor if you're talking to gamers.

Taskmaster. At least once you've seen them all, it's a great show to tune in and out of.

Mystery science theater is another.

Canada goose. You know why.

Started doing karaoke again, and it's been so fun and energizing. I sang Alanis Morisette's You Oughta Know and totally slayed.

I have nicely shaped legs and a good sense of style.

I've been trying hard to curate the "be curious, not judgemental" philosophy from Ted Lasso. I'm not the best at it, but the fact that I actively try to be kinder to others puts me ahead of the curve.

Very impressive. I hope you've at least got a support system among friends.

FYI, the next prompt on !52weeksofart@lemmy.world is "Hatching" and your work is perfect for it.

I will buy a game just because it's pretty. Give me more of hat rainbow art. Lisa Frank, the game.

Ok but will they take useless dumbasses like me who hate trump?

Ok I will. I just joined this sub and it's great to find a place on lemmy that's interested in fashion.

There are other apps, but this is the one I'm familiar with. It's definitely saved me money. I'll see something I love on poshmark, then add a photo of it to the app. Then I can pair it with stuff I already own to see if it's worthwhile. It's amazing how I often I think something will fit with my wardrobe only to find it clashes with all the bottoms I own, or that I would need to buy a second item to make it work. I also misplaced a ring, and I was able to see which day I wore it, to find which pants I left it in the pocket of. It's a lot of work to photograph everything but it's fun if you're into that sort of thing.

To make it easier, choose one practical word, (what you typically have in your closet), one aspirational (what you want to incorporate more of), and one emotional (how you want to feel and/or how you want others to feel when they see you).

-Practical word: androgynous - I love outfits that combine elements of masculine and feminine.

-Aspirational word: layered - I love blazers and scarves and sweaters with a collared shirt under. I'm hot natured so this is a tricky one for me, but I've been working it into my style.

-Emotional word: bold - bold colors and prints, things that make me stand out.

I use the Indyx app (free version) to track my wardrobe, plan outfits, and figure out what I don't need to buy.

If 80s movies have taught me anything: badly.
