hmm I’m not sure I get why people are so upset. Just don’t use your real name? It’s not linked to anything, so it’s not like they’ll know or care if you’re lying?

you’re more generous than I am! I was VERY MAD and telling her ALL ABOUT the law that mandates the public should be admitted for free at least five days and two evenings per week and how they don’t pay rent or taxes and get grants from the city and blah blah blah.

I love Emma Portner!!

As a lifelong milk chocolate lover, I gotta say that when you have really good dark chocolate it can be AMAZING. There are some single origin bars from Dick Taylor (especially Vietnam and Madagascar) that blow my mind with how balanced and complex they are. It’s not just bitter. It’s also acidic and nutty and smooth…

I got in a fight with a manager about this! It’s “suggested admission” but you still have to give them something apparently!!! I gave her a penny. -_-

ooh pretty sock pattern!

I finished this patch! It’s based on a hellmouth in the Hours of Catherine of Cleves. (IG and Etsy.)

thanks!!

I hand sewed and then embroidered this apron for my secret santa gift exchange! The arms kind of ended up looking like ebi though hahaha.

Hmm but it makes sense that you’d follow other similar IGs since that’s what you’re interested in? Like I have an embroidery instagram and I mostly follow other embroiderers and probably the majority of my followers also are into embroidery.

i looooooooooooove this. i do this all the time too. it’s not that i want to be a jerk? but it’s really the only way.

You caught me! We watch it every year.

Clearly you should do what my family does and make dim sum instead! We also used to make a red-cooked duck or peking duck. I’m not toootally sure why we have always made Chinese food for Christmas....maybe because my family is half Jewish?

thank you!! haha I’m pretty new to doing faces/shading so it was fun to work on

I finished this Drake shirt! Because who doesn’t want a Drake for each boob?

Coincidence, I’m an embroiderer too!

ughh i disagree with you so much! they had a lot of amazing pieces but whoever curated the exhibit is an idiot. it was like, here’s a bunch of cool stuff thrown together with no meaningful understanding guiding the curation and organization of the pieces!

I’m not totally sure I get the problem with the Solange one. You can still see the braids on her head, the part cut out is the super rad “crown” part, which I LOVE but it’s as big as her head so I understand how it wouldn’t have worked on a magazine cover layout. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t seem like they…

Isn’t that a different photo (her hand is up in the magazine cover)? Seems like it’s from a different angle where maybe they just aren’t visible?

AHA. I speak Japanese but I was thinking maybe you said something more along the lines of ほっといて (which obviously means “leave me alone” more than “go away” but it’s what I’d say for “go away” in that kind of situation) or even あっちに行って and could NOT figure out where トイレ was coming in. But that makes sense. That “r” and…
