from top to bottom:

bisexual pigeon (pigeon with iridescent pink-purple-blue neck stripes on an iridescent pink-purple-blue striped background). purely self-indulgent. this was actually the last one i made, during the event itself, and i used head pins from my jewelry making supplies instead of safety pins bc i was getting worried about my safety pin supply. yes, i know it's hard to see what the design is, and that it's bi colors. i am keeping this one for me. it will join my pin wardrobe.

transparent heart over glow-in-the-dark trans flag stripes. yes, i know this design is even harder to see. sorry. i was too committed to the concept to change the plan when i started to notice a problem. i haven't actually seen what it looks like in the dark, but presumably the heart will be much more obvious. it's a little more obvious when there's light behind it, as well. might try to gift this one, otherwise i'll keep it as an example.

six-color rainbow stripes. very tiny, mostly transparent, very bright, probably the most successful one from a readability standpoint. six colors bc that is as many as fit on the tiniest safety pins. i might put this one on my lanyard* or something.

metallic-finish aroace stripes (the orange and blue design, not the purple and green one). pretty successful except that the metallic colors ended up being really low-contrast so the pale stripes especially look pretty similar. again, might gift it, might keep it as an example.

transparent red heart with a black outline on a pearly white background. the way the beads are not all uniform heights (and the safety pins are not completely uniform either) makes this one look pretty busted. i think i'll strip it for parts.

well okay that's fucking sick

Good, so we're looking at more investments in health care, better work-life balance, more flexible work types?

Sure they do

How's public transport to their workplace

Is their workplace willing to give them adaptations

I finished this blanket of my late cat. She passed away a few months ago. It was quite suddenly and during a really bad time for my family so I couldn't mourn her properly. This is my tribute to her for all the love she gave us.

You are transported back in time and into the body of a young noblewoman in the 1400s. Your parents have married you off to an awful, abusive, rapist husband whom literally no one else would marry despite him being very high nobility because he's that terrible. You successfully produce a baby boy and then plan to murder this man for the good of everyone and yourself. Here is the question: do you think you could murder him in a way that is undetectable to the historical people around you? Note: they aren't stupid, you are the prime suspect as the battered wife AND you can't just say poison. Where are you going to buy poison? Do you know anything about poison actually? NO GOOGLING! You were sent back without a plan!

Edit: my notes are full of murder. I love you all

Edit: to clarify about the poison, you can use poison if you actually know how to identify it, I'm saying you can't just go "Poison!" with no knowledge about poison. Buying it probably means they know that poison and you're caught. Your personal knowledge when you read this post is all you have.

Another point of clarity: You went through all that trouble to have a baby without modern medicine so you could get the sweet house after your husband died. That's why you can't be caught. No disappearing.

Edit again: Air embolisms are going on a high shelf because the syringe won't be invented for 350 years. Prove to me that you could make one from scratch, lol
