There were a few resources that I referenced during my #blend2022 talk, so I thought that I could share them here! I'll also link to some that I didn't mention but were very influential to how I learned to deal with friction:

Here we go! ⚡️

I signed up for a LARP at #gencon so I reached out to the GM to say I was bringing a 6mo baby and could they incorporate that into my character?

I got a character sheet saying I was a minor noblewoman who had recently had a baby… or so it appeared to others. 1/3

My daughter asked if she could have a readover instead of a sleepover. Where friends come over and you just read for hours. And now I want one too.

I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative*

One texted me later: Holy f*ck

The problem is, constantly putting up with unwarranted resistance is bad for mental health.

If I can use Figma for DM-ing, I can use it for print design, right? 👀

[Crystal Chin @_CrystalChin]

Has anyone used Figma to design wedding invitations and, if yes, how did you do it?

[Crystal Chin @_CrystalChin]

I started with Canva - got the general look and feel but _the lines just won't line up_

Then tried Affinity Designer and... it's not the same Illustrator :(

... and as I'm doing this, I start thinking "there's gotta be something I can use without learning something new"

ideally if you had user guides at all they would work to form a matrix of preferences and needs as a team, kind of like how you would compose a team with overlapping and different skills. teams would set the norms together and they’d shift as people join and leave

@conniechiiiwa I’m sorry you’re going through this right now :( sending hugs!

[Crystal Chin @_CrystalChin]

@conniechiiiwa Woo!

1/ 15 minute Rule?

Remember that what matters is the inhalation dose (D) - which is equal to C x B x t x f
C = concentration of SARS-CoV-2 virions in breathing zone air (inside of mask if mask worn) (#/L) embedded in respiratory aerosol particles.
B = .....

@conniechiiiwa That’s impressive! It’s gets super humid here too so I’ll keep this in mind for my bachelorette party haha

The next time an older relative comments on my weight, I'm going to reply with my latest workout.

"Your wedding is coming up! Are you losing weight?"
"I split squatted 32kg and swung steel maces around my head a bunch of times last night!" 💪

[Crystal Chin @_CrystalChin]

@conniechiiiwa Looks like they're good as part of a basic kit. I'll check them out!

[Crystal Chin @_CrystalChin]

@conniechiiiwa I've never heard of them before, and now I might be too late!

@conniechiiiwa /taking notes

I'm such a makeup newbie so this is super helpful! I've been thinking about playing around with soft contours but am so worried about things not matching my skin tone. Knowing where to start helps so much.

[Crystal Chin @_CrystalChin]

@conniechiiiwa Yeah I’ve noticed! Nanoblur is knot available in our drug store chain and it’s on par with Sephora Collection now

[Crystal Chin @_CrystalChin]

@conniechiiiwa I've always wanted to try Tower 28 and Milk, so I got Tower 28's blush in Magic Hour and lipgloss in Oat, and the Milk mini set that has their primer, mascara and blush. Also got a lipgloss from a Canadian Indigenous brand called Cheekbone Beauty.
