Not OP, but the answer is, it depends. If you're using a proper (read: slightly more expensive and probably non-acrylic) yarn ~~skein~~ hank, then yes, it needs to be wound into a ball first, then put into the bowl. The bowl keeps your ball from rolling around everywhere.

If you're using a cheaper type of center pull skein (no judgment!) then no, not really. But if you're using a center pull skein, then you don't really need the bowl. Your yarn won't roll.

Lovely cables! I keep telling myself I'm going to make this, and then don't. One day!

Zebras seem cool. I don't think Texas has any zebras. They can hang out with the horses...? (Idk if they actually get along.)

And giraffes! I want a giraffe to come hang out in my yard and eat some tall leaves.

Same. If I can't eat what I want, what's even the point of being an adult? Eating things I like is basically the only thing I have left in life to look forward to.

I think it might be the word "named" instead of "identified." That and the two "as" ~~appositive phrases~~ prepositional phrases in a row.

Talk to a friend about everything you're feeling. Bitch about all his worst qualities and be extra petty about it. Cry about all his good qualities that you'll miss. Watch a new show or movie or an old comforting favorite (anything that doesn't remind you of him). Have a long Lemmy scrolling session to try to take your mind off it for a while. Cry some more. Tell yourself how life is so unfair, and sometimes it sucks. Scream out loud, and get some stuff off your chest that you'd never say to his face. Cry again. Write down everything you're feeling, then keep it, or burn it (whatever feels right in the moment). Hydrate after all the crying. Don't forget to eat, and eat whatever you feel like. Try to get some sleep.

Potentially repeat some of those things the next day, and the next, but hopefully fewer and fewer as the days go by, and the feelings become less pointed.

Maybe you could switch to evening showers?

Pros: luxuriate in there as long as you want, feel comforted, more sleeping in.

Cons: idk, I love an evening shower. Drying your hair before bed I guess?

If anyone is being harmed, member or non-member, then I think it should be stopped. That applies to both cult activities and cultural activities.

If it's being sent over the cell phone carrier signal, does that mean if you're at home, or otherwise connected to Wi-Fi, that you won't get it?

My first project was a dishcloth. Easy, fast, basic square, corner to corner, only one increase or decrease per row. Mostly just practicing the knit stitch over and over again. I did that until I had made so many that they were piling up. Then I moved to scarves, lol. To be fair, I was about 13 at the time. It was long long ago, lol.

I would have said god is a fascist. There's a real "do what I've decided is best for you, or there will be hell to pay" (pun intended) vibe throughout his interactions with humanity.

But he does always seem to need money, so maybe you have a point.
