My city used to have a great costume & theater supply shop, but it went under several years back. I’m trying to work out ideas for a Halloween costume, but I’m struggling to think of a good e-comm site for such things (better quality than your Spirit Halloween type places.)...
I haven’t yet, but yes thrifting will definitely be on the menu! Right now I’m trying to think through how I’m going to craft a couple of the pieces I aim to make and was hoping to find some costume specific sites to draw inspo from (and to start browsing for a wig and accessories.) There’s just so many niche webstores selling junk product that my eyes were starting to cross.
Learned the term recently and really enjoy it, subscription fatigue is the feeling we all have had now where we are just over how everything is subscription based....
Surprised good sense of humor or wit aren’t on here yet. Playfully sparring with someone or laughing until it hurts when you hang around a person are a turn on.
Do they get unhidden on new activity? I assume not. Would it be plausible to implement the option to hide seen threads until new stuff arises and maybe dictate the amount of new comments till it shows up again?
Thank you so much kind stranger! Hearing positive anecdotes helps and so does being heard! I really appreciate you taking the time to spread some kindness and compassion.
Thank you kind stranger! I already feel a lot better. He’s less crabby today and while we haven’t talked through what happened yesterday, I certainly don’t mind just dropping it until after he’s recovered.
Thank you so much for the perspective and support. Intellectually, I get all of this, but last night I was just down in it ya know? I’m so glad I had a place to vent and that lemmy users like you were kind and compassionate. Thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart.
You are very insightful and so kind for reaching out to your wife on my behalf! All of this advice about communication is gold, and it’s so helpful for me to hear! Yes today has been better, and I’m getting choked up seeing all of these kind responses like yours. Thank you for taking the time! The world is a better place for people like you being willing to spread compassion.
You are right, and I thank you so much for this response. I probably would be acting a fool too if I were in that position, so I’m trying my best to be understanding and to put my own freakout aside. As hurt as I would be if something happened, that fear doesn’t at all compare to the fear one must feel when its their own body, wellbeing, and life.
And you’re right about the mom thing. He’s probably gonna be a handful when he wakes up sore and incapacitated by all this. I’m trying to not take it personally, which is hard because I’m sensitive in general and wish I could “fix it” for him. Obviously, I can’t, and his wellbeing is the priority right now. Thank you for the perspective from that side of things and for your message of support!
Viewers are divided over whether the film should have shown Japanese victims of the weapon created by physicist Robert Oppenheimer. Experts say it's complicated.
I agree with you that the Japanese military committed horrific atrocities, but from my pov, showing the direct devastation the bomb had demonstrates (among other things) the significance, impact, and importance of the creation of the bomb. That demonstration bears relevance in a story about the creator’s life and legacy in a way that Japanese atrocities don’t.
In the boiling chaos of reddit over the last few days, I scrolled past some allegations that I didn’t have a chance to thoroughly look into before today’s start to the blackout....
That’s fair! I’m just new to the fediverse and was initially worried about accidentally winding up in some veiled Parler weirdness. Definitely not the case, loving lemmy so far!
What’s a good costume supply web store that’s a cut above Spirit Halloween? Maybe for stage performers?

What’s one word to prove you lived trough the 90’s?
What is the most attractive non-physical characteristic someone can have?
What's a more niche sub that hasn't taken off here (yet) that you miss?
For me it’s some of the music ed, trumpet and book subs.
How does hide read threads work?

Hi lemmy, this situation is kinda private so it seems easier to look for support here than it is to talk about it with most of my irl friends....

Can someone clarify or debunk some Lemmy/fediverse allegations for me?
