Instead of inktober, I'm doing feltober with my obscene stockpile of wool. Here are five pieces in five days.

Everything is wet-felted and made on a whim without much planning. I make forms from old reusable grocery bags, use balloons or bottles to hold their form while they dry, and create the voids between layers with coins, wood scraps, trash and marbles. I use felting needles and an electric pube trimmer to clean them up.

I make these when I'm bored, watching shows. Basic wet felted wool over a circle form (a piece of plastic trash I cut into a circle) with layers either cut in or felted textures using beads, other plastic trash, and whatever I have around.

"In offering further thoughts on the recent ’emergency stop’ placed on her overall DC career, Red Hood Vol. 2 writer Gretchen Felker-Martin has criticized how the publisher was exceptionally fast to not just cancel, but fully recall the only published issue of her Red Hood Vol. 2, but did not offer a similar response to a number of other ‘uncouth’ creators."

When we all join together, we can make something beautiful.

EDIT: Love all these recommendations. We got a pretty good playlist going on here.

Tons of information on writing— incuding break-downs of popular literature and media, how to get through writer's block, and what it means to Save the Cat.

Bonus points for low impact and cheap/free. I have a foot injury and can't run/bike/hike for a bit.

Editing this to say:

• Thank you all for the suggestions, I love the Lemmy community, and,
• I know a lot of workouts can be done at home, and these are all great ideas. However, I bike/hike because I have trouble motivating myself to just work out as an activity. I trick myself using fun, but I don't know how to make indoor excercise exciting.

In the aftermath of more slow, dystopian, apocalypse shenanigans I'm trying meditations to slap a bandaid on my hemorrhaging mental health.

Seems like all I can find are slow ASMR style speeches about sunny fields and peachy angels, and I can't stand that don't-wake-the-baby talk. I'm not a baby.

I connected with one, lost to time, led by a guy with a chronic smoker's rasp who demanded inner peace. It was spiritually healing because I have a poor relationship with my father.

Please, friends, do you know any free, guided meditations that aren't condescendingly peaceful? That aren't trying to sell supplements or pitch their sponsors midway through?

PS. No posh london accents, they remind me of the king.

I've been using this site for over a year every time I get stuck on a subject.

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames.

What free, online tools do you use when you're stuck on words, descriptions or motivation? Powerthesaurus.org is one of my favourites because it does phrases as well. I know there's a paid version, but I haven't used it.
