... What a run-on sentence that is.

Somewhere along the line I managed to develop a really specific sense of my own clothing style and that's kind of cool but also it's narrow enough that I often don't actually know how to find clothing that I like, short of shotgunning thrift stores and print-on-demand websites.

There's a shitload of cool stuff on LiveHeroes but it's expensive enough that waiting for a sale is a v. good idea.

I also know there's a website that sells awesome printed leggings but can't remember what it was called? @memnus@octodon.social ?

...how do i find skirts with pockets.

I'm gonna buy so many skirts now!!

"When I finally got tired of arguing with [my writing teacher] and decided to write a novel as if I was some kind of formulaic, genre writing drone, just to prove to her how awful it would be, I wrote the first book of the Dresden Files." -- Jim Butcher

Well that sure does explain some shit. The series sarts getting good around book 5-6 as it begins developing beyond the formula.

@Oneironott hey btw your name is really beautiful.

idk why but for some reason Mastodon makes it feel a lot easier for me to check existing replies before replying to a post.

My most-common use for this is checking what kind of emotional support (if any) a post has been eliciting so far. Which I guess is pretty on-brand for the platform :)

I'm really curious to see how this compares to other people's scales?

Also though it's fundamentally unquantifiable :<
Fuckin' qualia.

Also I feel like I can never actually *remember* the sensation of pain in a sensory way? I can think about the idea of it, but not the sensation itself.

So like... when a nurse would ask how much pain I was in and I'd answer 5, that meant "the current pain management is really not sufficient and I'm distressed." Which I would then actually tell them rather than hoping the number would be sufficient

I don't know if that's how most people would use 5? They seemed to think I was underrating my pain. But like, it always felt like it could be a *lot* worse so I didn't want to claim something higher.

The step from 3 to 4 is when the pain becomes impossible to ignore

4 to 5 is when addressing the pain becomes important

5 to 6 is when it becomes urgent

6 to 7 is when I start to feel I might need serious medical attention

...beyond that I don't really have mapped.

Each number there is a *significant* increase. And uhh I hope that's enough room at the top end? I don't have much experience with the top end tbh.

1: irritant
2: uncomfortable
3: annoying
4: unpleasant
5: distressing
6: severe
7: alarming
8: horrific
9: transcendental
10: inconceivable
