My parents taught me to go to the bathroom to calm down if I was feeling overwhelmed which was good advice for an autistic child but now i have some trouble leaving bathrooms. They're such a perfect safe space. No one is allowed to bother you. It's like the womb
Yellow Mongoose Cynictis penicillata
It lives in open country, semi-desert scrubland and grasslands in Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. The yellow mongoose will often co-exist with Cape ground squirrels or meerkats and share maintenance of the warren, adding new tunnels and burrows as necessary. It feeds on insects, small animals, eggs, grass, and seeds.
The pokemon world's gotta be full of posters and PSA's that have like a magikarp and gyrados and say shit like "I'm not just a cute companion. I'm a 500lb commitment"

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh


“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!
Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.
And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition
I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch
The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!
I looked at some of the tutorials last night and holy shit I'm so impressed! They're SO thorough! Not only do they have written and video instructions, but there are photo and illustration options for each image AND a "flip view" button so that left handed people can see all the images in reverse!
I am going to jump in and add, as you said they are very detailed in their directions, something that takes a lot of time and money.
If anyone who has enjoyed this resource has the means, I encourage you to adopt or sponsor a stitch to help keep this free to access. I know not everyone has the means to (fair, been there) but if you can, check out their sponsor options
And one other resource I have shared before, The Lady's Magazine. Embroidery patterns from 1770-1819. In case anyone wants some historic ideas for using all these new embroidery stitches
