@megannn_lynne Yay! Congratulations! That looks delicious.

better late than never :)

@JillMakesStuff @CoraCHarrington @dieworkwear This already exists and the dresses cost more than $30

@CoraCHarrington @dieworkwear I saw someone saying the other day they are planning on starting some sort of cottage industry of home sewers in the US, creating dresses for sale bc they can’t find a nice dress for $30 anymore & …

This is true, but I don't think it tells the full story. Since the 1960s, the US has largely offshored its textile and garment manufacturing, but it's held onto related services, such as design and marketing. In other words, someone in the US will design a jacket and come up with the marketing strategy, but the actual jacket manufacturing will be done offshore. As it happens, the service component is the largest added-value. As you go down the supply chain — starting with farmers who grow related crops such as cotton, linen, or wool — the value-added becomes very, very small. Thus, there's very little wage growth at that end. The highest wage growth is on the service side, which is why New York City still has a bustling fashion sector, where many people are employed in design, marketing, retail, merchandizing, etc. This combination — retaining the most important parts of the production chain while letting go of the other parts — could theoretically put the US in a very good position to manufacture luxury goods that it can export abroad. But the US has not been very good at developing its luxury sector for a variety of reasons (possibly culture, cost of living, lack of government support, etc). Of course, in the transition from the 1960s to now, there have been some winners and losers. The winners are people who do design and marketing; the losers are the sewers who used to work on US factory floors. The good news is that you can still buy clothes today that are made exactly as they were in the 1960s — from oxford-cloth button-downs to Goodyear welted shoes. The bad news is that you will be paying prices close to what the average family in the 1960s paid for such goods. Which is to say ~$150 button-ups and ~$500 shoes in today's dollars. When you purchase these clothes, you may find that the $150 button-up shirt isn't that different from the one made in China or India. That's because other countries are now pretty good at making clothes.

@megannn_lynne Sending love.

i try to tweet about recovery wins more than recovery losses because i want to be a good role model if anyone actually considers me such, but i won’t lie, the past few days have been really really hard & isolating & distressing. 1 step forward etc. but it sucks to go back

@LeVeonBell Celebrating because I never bought one?

if you’re not ripping your ‘Ring’ camera off your house right now and dropping the whole thing into a pot of boiling water what are you doing?

@NoEscalators I did that.

40 year olds the world over, in unison: “IS THAT RICKY MARTIN????”

I ADDED 1/2 cup of vegetables to my regular lunch every day for the last 2 weeks and started eating breakfast regularly, so someone please explain why I just had a full blown panic attack about not eating enough food. I added an entire fucking meal! ADDED!

@WhatTheADHD Hey! Update on this since someone just liked it this morning. I made it until December 2025 before I changed jobs. Not sure it was the right choice, but I know it wasn’t the wrong choice. Proud of myself.

@WhatTheADHD I am guilty of quitting without a plan, frequent career changes and accepting offers without negotiating. And impulsive socializing and oversharing. I'm trying to come up with a plan so I don't quit without one again, but I'm probably changing jobs again soon.

How ADHD impulsivity can show up in professionals: 1. Accepting job offers without taking time to consider or negotiate 2. Frequent career changes 3. Making last-second changes to projects and presentations without consulting colleagues 4. Skipping important meetings (1/2)

@suchnerve Also permission to come back to a half finished task and keep going instead of starting over every time. I kept getting stuck coming back to things I’d quit earlier but had circled back to. But because I’d quit, there was this need to start from the beginning.

“What’s your executive dysfunction life hack?” Giving myself permission to bail at any given time. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS STUPID!! I know!!!! But just try it!!!!!!!! And make sure to prove to yourself that you really do mean it by ACTUALLY giving up midway through whenever you want.

@megannn_lynne That looks so delicious!

pastrami & swiss on rye with sweet potato fries. never kill yourself

@megannn_lynne Why are you calling me out like this? I have several different kinds of bread at home so I can decide which makes the best buttered toast.

every few months, the urge to eat buttered toast will possess you

@megannn_lynne Happy for you!

we had a lovely thanksgiving. only a few times in anorexia have i managed to achieve a “rule suspension” & today was one of those days. i am so grateful for the quiet mind i was granted today. even if i wake up guilty tomorrow—worth it ❤️

@megannn_lynne I'm excited for you, though. Definitely want to hear about all your wins.

apologies in advance for the amount of thanksgiving posting i will be doing this week. i have lost so many holidays & memories to anorexia & i want to do everything i can to frame this one as celebratory. i am still alive, still trying to recover, still supported by my family. ❤️

@eva_alter_poet I'm cheering for you!

tmi so i've pvrged every thanksgiving dinner since i was like 14 but i haven't used basically any ed behaviors in like a month actually (somehow ?) so i'm trying to keep my momentum going but idk, breaking a 14 year long pattern seems somewhat difficult but also maybe i can do it ? i can try 🤷🏻‍♀️ (i fucking hate this holiday lmfao)

@dialectits I made one this year too. It’s such a fun pattern, probably one of my all-time favorite makes. Your’s looks awesome.

i finished my cat sweater :)

@birdbrainmd3 @vvictorman_uel Then he heard it running and started laughing because despite my hyperacusis, I adore loud bikes. It’s baffling but funny. Everything is too loud except the motorcycles.

@birdbrainmd3 @vvictorman_uel It was a 7 year journey to get calm enough to finish the class. I panicked out two times before this year and then I had to find a motorcycle that felt good which was HARD. You should have seen Partner’s full body eye roll(amused) when he saw it. “Of course it’s orange…” 😂

Moots who I know might worry. Just so you know, I’m still around and safe I just passed the motorcycle safety course and bought this beauty and I’m just outside enjoying the last riding days of the year. @birdbrainmd3 @vvictorman_uel

@birdbrainmd3 @vvictorman_uel I know I’m quieter than I used to be but I’m still here.

@megannn_lynne I have definitely felt that.

Oh!
