My wife’s idea of decompressing after the busy holiday was to rearrange every piece of furniture in our home is this an ADHD thing or just a her thing

I’m not complaining the way she’s done it is much better than it was it’s just like how is this your idea of a relaxing weekend

Listen I don't get to decide when the drunk elf that is my executive actually does the functioning but when he does we have a SMALL WINDOW OF TIME before he finds the schnapps again and we're done

So to me, there are spoons (general energy cost) and carnival tickets (specific energy cost).

Spoons can be used pretty much anywhere.

Carnival tickets are only good for the carnival, and it’s only in town for a limited amount of time.

So like, if I get “kitchen cleaning” carnival tickets, I can’t use that to clean my bedroom, that’s not where the carnival is.

The new doll forum Lovely Everyone is open to join now if y’all haven’t already signed up.

Here is a list of the kind of dolls that is currently on topic on the forum.

Cast Resin BJD - This section is for resin BJD that are tension-strung with elastic. They should have changeable eyes and wear wigs(if applicable) rather than having rooted hair.

3D Printed BJD - This section is for BJD that are 3D printed using resin (SLA) or filament (FDM) technologies.

Armature Dolls - This section is for articulated dolls that are made of hard vinyl over an internal skeleton that provides the structure for posing. They should have changeable eyes and wear wigs (if applicable) rather than having rooted hair.

Molded Plastic BJD - This section is for BJD that are not made of resin, but are strung with elastic.

Blind Box BJD - This section is for BJD and MJD that are marketed using the blind box sales method.

It’s generally focused most on strung ball-jointed dolls, but some other heavily related dolls are welcome too (like Dollfie Dreams, Smart Dolls, MJDs [aka mechanically jointed dolls]).

The forum is a work in progress, so what is and isn’t on topic will likely change and evolve over time, but it’s definitely a good step away from the strict-ness of Den of Angels. :)

Also really appreciate that there are separate spaces for each type of doll category (Neighborhoods, as the forum calls them) so it’s easier to keep from getting lost in the sauce if there’s very specific types of dolls you’re interested in. Plus it helps keep the main forum page from getting hella long like I’ve seen for so many other toy forums. xD;

OH.....

this situation was UNSAT and I'm glad Armelia said so

I don't even like slinging mud but the amount I've been pained by the DoA closure and the long countdown to it, that we all might have been spared

All the work people did to attempt backing up priceless history and info, and money spent on new forums, and effort and turmoil and upset

Adam tried to think of why the owner would do this, like maybe she was literally laying on the floor unable to do anything until the strain of the eleventh hour was able to push her out of a mental hole, and listen I've been in that situation too but!

All the unpaid labor performed by a tiny number of mods who were stuck either working for free or killing the forum for years!

I am having real big feelings too

WTF

THIS is the pettiest nastiest crap... I just.. No words. No. You don't get to do that to us, to our COMMUNITY, and then say OOPSIE APRIL FOOLS.

I AM SO LIVID.

Honestly, I’m inclined to full boycott DOA if it actually returns after this. and pivot to Lovely Everyone as if nothing had changed.

If Dezarii can pull the rug like this once, who’s to say they won’t do it again? Fuck that, hand it over to someone trustworthy and apologize.

One of my plushies can't catch a break

I got a sheep plushie with a harvest moon preorder way back in the 00s

My best friend at the time asked what I was going to name him, and the first thing that came to mind was Yggdrasil

She started laughing her ass off and always lowkey made fun of Yggdrasil the sheep

I was just now telling my roommate about it, and used he/him when referring to Yggdrasil

Roommate points out, "yeah but that's a female sheep".

So now we've got Yggdrasil the Transgender Sheep, apparently

Just went through a roller coaster of "so, back braces don't seem to be made for people with tilted hips/curved spines" "A product should exist for that, but it would probably need to be specialized to account for differences in different bodies..." "I bet a corset would be good..."

So anyway me and my busted up spine currently sitting here 19th century style

It IS helping

Looking for a specific doll in my house that I believed to exist in one of two possible locations.

It was not in location #1, so I checked location #2...and found a mystery doll that I do not recall the existence of whatsoever.

Uhhh

well my genius idea almost led to hospitalization

the hole in my pirn is only 1.5" deep, so it won't fit on my bobbin winder.

no big deal, I figured, I'd just drill it out

first attempt only succeeded in ripping the skin off my hand as it tried to spin against my grip

okay so we'll clamp it to the table...

clamp immediately flies off the table at impressive velocity, narrowly missing my head and putting a dent in the wall instead

oh okay I guess I'm calling it quits on this idea

The best part about having been streaming for a few years with a long-term core community is that they actually learn you

So when a new chatter rolls in and asks, "Can you tell me about [special interest thing]?"

half the chat is instantly like "you activated their trap card, you fool" or run.wav

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

Switched the serger to coverstitch mode for the first time ever and it went soooo so so so badly

I decided to try it on my dedicated coverstitch machine to see if this was a Machine Issue or a User Issue…and the thread snapped about 2” into the stitch.

Which was interesting, because I was using the recommended tension…

Then I noticed that all my serger cones were Coats & Clark

That’ll do it

Dealing with work in the kind of way where I had scheduled a two week vacation to address burnout but instead of taking that vacation in a reasonable manner I found out my husband was cheating on me and still loves her (but cannot see her anymore because she's left).

So now I'm back at work with my burnout worse than not addressed and every little thing is making me feel a bit murdery.

So anyway
