Ugh, just spent literally like... almost five hours hand-stitching patches in for the only pair of pants I own. (Or at least that I own and also dubiously fit.) Since I pretty much have to wear skirts to work, I've been able to forget that I don't have any functional pants.

How the fuck did this project take that long? I HAVE NO IDEA. I just looked up at the clock and was shocked. And boy did that kill my eyes.

(To be fair, this was three fairly large patches to fix a couple actual holes and a several areas of thinning fabric, and I was trying to do it "the right way", to reinforce the fabric all over.)

I'm not unhappy with the patch job (though I never want to see sewing thread again ever.) It better hold up, or I'll be really annoyed, haha.

Those are all good jobs to have, and ones where I hope they would be okay with things like tattoos and colored hair. Definitely worth fighting for what you want. And I think looking ahead of time on the social media for the area is a great idea!
Definitely sick of appeasing conservatives. Hate being forced to.

Yeah, accessories are probably a good way to go to at least try and improve the "not as normal as I might look" vibe, haha. I like thrift stores for clothes, but it can be frustrating trying to find anything I like that also fits. I've found a handful of nice things, but usually walk away without much. Shoes are the worst to try and find!
