Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Unlock Stitch
The new Disney Dreamlight Valley update is finally here, and alongside the new Toy Story realm and festive winter content, you can also find Stitch from Lilo and Stitch and add him to the Valley!
Here’s how to find the little rascal…
How to find Stitch in Disney Dreamlight Valley
(Hat tip to Siriosi for finding out when the second and third pairs of socks turn up!)
Find a wet sock
Go to Dazzle Beach and look for a Wet Sock. It’s a small blue blob that you’ll find on the sand — we found ours on the mini island that’s separate from the rest of the beach. Pick it up and take it to its owner…
Talk to Donald Duck
The “DD” on the sock was a good clue! Talk to Donald Duck to give him his sock (don’t worry, he doesn’t wear it). He’ll tell you that some weird stuff is going on. Time to investigate…
Go to Donald’s house
It’s the big boat. It should be on the beach. You can tag it in the map to conjure a trail that will lead you there!
Destroy some trash
Destroy five piles of trash in Donald’s house by stamping on them. They’re easy to spot — it’s a pile of bricks and wood and metal.
Find a Strange Device
After you destroy the last trash pile, you’ll find a Strange Device. Pick it up.
Talk to Donald again
Show Donald the Device and he’ll accidentally trigger a DNA sequencer, which confirms the existence of… something. He’ll find some more DNA sources, but it might take a while…
(Beyond this point is steps based on Siriosi’s time travelling experiments — we haven’t jumped ahead ourselves, so we’ll update this when we have more info!)
Wait a few days
Five days later, another pair of socks will appear in Peaceful Meadow. These ones are Goofy’s.
Wait a few days more
Five days after that, you’ll find your final pair of socks in the Forest of Valor. This time, they’re Merlin’s.
Find Stitch’s ship
Stitch’s spaceship will spawn once you have three pairs of socks!

OIL INVENTORIES DUE: Futures traded higher Wednesday on hopes for improved Chinese demand while uncertainty about how a Western cap on Russian oil prices would play out.
A potential drawdown in U.S. crude stockpiles of around 6.4 million barrels, according to API figures, also gave some sentiment support on the supply front.
U.S. crude futures traded around $74.00 a barrel.
Brent crude futures traded around $79.00 a barrel, after they fell below $80 in the previous trading session.

Oil prices have dropped by more than 1% for three straight sessions, giving up most of their gains for the year, according to Reuters.
After Years Of Painful Sex, This 23-Year-Old Mom Discovered She Was Once Given A “Husband Stitch” Without Her Consent
Ever heard of the “husband stitch” or “daddy stitch”? It refers to when doctors suture a person’s perineum with extra stitching after they give birth — thus making the opening of the vagina “tighter” during sex.
HBO
It is called a “husband stitch” because its main purpose is commonly seen as a benefit to that sexual partner.
The “husband stitch” is not a procedure with an approved medical name, and some people are unaware that they have received one until it’s already occurred — or even that there’s a slang name for such a thing.
One of those people is TikTok user Hannah (@hannahhhleigh_). The 23-year-old recently discovered — after years of pain and a sudden realization — that she was once given a husband stitch.
In the video, Hannah recounts seeing another video of a woman on TikTok explaining what a husband stitch is, and “everything made sense” when she considered her own experience postdelivery. Hannah explains, “I gave birth to my son … in 2019 on a military base in the hospital. I had a second-degree tear with my son — it’s common. Anyway, they have to stitch you up after you tear, right? Well, I got stitched up; nothing was said to me.” She adds, “I went to my six-week postpartum checkup, and they said everything looked good.” Once Hannah was cleared to begin having sex with her husband again, she says, “I noticed that when we [had sex], it was extremely uncomfortable, and sometimes even painful.”
When she brought it up to her OB-GYN, she was told that it was normal and that her “hormones are out of whack” and she’d just have to use “extra lubrication.”
Hannah says, “Me being a first-time mom … I just took the suggestion and was like, ‘Okay, it must be normal.’ I suffered with the pain and discomfort for two years.” After moving, she saw a new OB-GYN in preparation for the birth of her second child. During Hannah’s Pap smear, the new OB-GYN examined Hannah before asking if she was having “issues” with anything being inserted in her.

Hannah then explained her problems for the past two years. Hannah says in the video, “She [the OB-GYN] was like, ‘I know why you’re having these problems. It’s clear as day: You were stitched wrong.'” Hannah says that her new OB-GYN explained that the opening to her vagina was much smaller than it should be and there was a lot of scar tissue. While Hannah clarifies that the OB-GYN didn’t specifically tell her that she had a husband stitch, she expresses confusion as to how her issue wasn’t caught before.
Hannah explains that after she saw the video on TikTok and recognized herself in that experience, it became clear to her that she’d been given a husband stitch.
Hannah adds that after she gave birth to her second child and teared again, her new OB-GYN was able to remove the unnecessary scar tissue and stitch her up properly. Hannah adds that she hasn’t had any issues since.
After seeing the original video that made her realize she had previously been given a husband stitch, Hannah says, “[When I] found out that what happened to me has a name and I saw all the horror stories of it happening, just like it happened to me, unknowingly [and] without [my] consent…like, that’s terrifying.”
@hannahhhleigh_ / Via tiktok.com
Hannah’s original video has 2.4 million views, 103,600 likes, and a comments section full of people sharing their own thoughts and feelings about the husband stitch.
I spoke with Hannah, who added that in addition to experiencing discomfort and pain during sex, she had issues with daily activities like inserting a tampon and even sitting down. She said, “It took me a LONG time to heal after birth…I know that can be normal directly after birth, but this went on for quite a while after the fact.”
Hannah said that after being told by her previous doctor that her pain and discomfort were normal, she was actually comforted when the second OB-GYN explained that something was wrong. Hannah said, “I was extremely relieved to finally be given an answer and a solution to the problem.”
Hannah described watching the TikTok video she came across about the husband stitch over and over again and explained, “I, quite frankly, was in total shock. Neither my husband nor myself knew that this was even a thing, let alone that it was common or had a name. I probably watched the video about 10 times, comparing what she was saying to my past situation, in utter disbelief.”
For more context, I spoke with Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a clinical professor in the department of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences at Yale Medical school. Minkin said that while the term “husband stitch” is slang, it’s not necessarily a new term — she’d heard the term as a resident in the late ’70s.
Minkin said that in her experience, the phrase referred to a singular extra stitch made at the top of a vagina, given to a patient after an episiotomy — a surgical cut made at the opening of the vagina to assist with delivery — to tighten the vagina. She said, “It was referred to as the husband stitch because it was felt that after a few kids, the husband wouldn’t be enjoying sex as much. So they would make it a little extra tight for his benefit.”
After a patient’s episiotomy or even after normal tearing during birth, Minkin stressed, the goal is to return the patient’s vagina to as close as possible to the anatomy it had before tearing. She said the purpose was “to put the vagina together and give it good support. You want to make it tight enough for the patient to be comfortable, but not to make anything too tight.”

Since the vagina naturally stretches during childbirth, Minkin said that she has had patients who specifically request to be sewn tighter, typically after they’ve had a few children. However, she added that in the case of the husband stitch, “the primary benefit is for the partner.” Minkin said that it’s important that you tell your doctor if you are feeling pain or discomfort.
Hannah said that she took some time considering whether she should share her experience on TikTok, but ultimately decided, “If I had the opportunity to potentially spread awareness on the subject, I should take it, even if that meant being vulnerable.” She also added that she was stunned by the number of views and comments the video received, and said, “I had such a small platform at the time that it definitely was not expected.”
One of the most common questions that Hannah said she’s received from commentators is whether she ever confronted the doctor who she said gave her the husband stitch in the first place, but Hannah said she’d never considered it. She explained, “This happened in Alaska almost three years ago now. We moved on with our lives. I am just happy it has been fixed and I am no longer suffering with it.”

Hannah also encouraged others who feel they may be struggling with a similar issue to advocate for themselves, and explained, “You are your best advocate because you know your body best. If your OB-GYN, primary care doctor, etc., don’t listen to your concerns, get a second opinion. Heck, get a third, fourth, or fifth if you need to. Pain isn’t normal, and you shouldn’t have to live with it.”

Lilo & Stitch Director Was ‘Frustrated’ by Frozen’s Praise for Its Sisterhood Story
Lilo & Stitch co-director Chris Sanders has admitted that the high praise Frozen earned for its celebration of sisterhood was “frustrating,” considering his movie carried that message first.
Disney’s animated hit Lilo & Stitch was released worldwide in 2002, 11 years before Frozen debuted in 2013. Both movies explored the relationship between two sisters, prioritizing that bond over a romantic storyline, but Sanders told The New York Times that his movie, which came first, didn’t seem to receive as much recognition for that as Frozen.
“To be clear, I think ‘Frozen’s’ great,” Sanders asserted in the interview celebrating Lilo & Stitch’s 20th anniversary, per Variety. “But it was a little bit frustrating for me because people were like, ‘Finally, a nonromantic relationship with these two girls,’ and I thought, ‘We did that! That has absolutely been done before.'”
Lilo & Stitch explores the bond between a young girl and her older sister Nani through the Hawaiian concept of Ohana (family) as they grapple with an outlaw space alien that comes into their lives, while Frozen focuses on the relationship between sisters Anna and Elsa and how their love for one another can help them to overcome the challenges they face.
“When [Lilo & Stitch] came out, that’s what a lot of critics talked about,” Lilo & Stitch producer Clark Spender added, referring to the animated movie’s nuanced depictions of family relationships. “Those moments that were based in reality in a way that people could see themselves in, and it didn’t feel like they were cartoon characters.”
When Lilo & Stitch was released in 2002, it grossed $237 million at the box office on a budget of $80 million. Its success led to video games, sequels, spinoffs, and an animated series. The Disney film is also said to be getting the live-action adaptation treatment, though not much has been said on that since reports circulated that John M. Chu was in talks to direct.
Frozen hit theaters in 2013 and received praise for subverting expectations and telling a much more modern type of Disney story. The movie broke box office records for an animated movie and crossed over the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office. Frozen has since become a franchise of its own, with animated shorts, featurettes, and a feature-length sequel.

Stitch Fix shares jumped more than 17% in extended trading Tuesday after the online shopping and styling service reported a surprise profit for its fiscal fourth quarter.
Sales for the three-month period ended July 31 also came in higher than analysts were expecting, thanks to outsized growth in its women’s and kids’ categories.
Consumers have been splurging on new outfits in recent months, as many head back to school and return to social gatherings. Some have also citied the need for new clothes after either gaining or losing weight during the pandemic.
Here’s how Stitch Fix did compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by Refinitiv:
- Earnings per share: 19 cents vs. a loss of 13 cents expected
- Revenue: $571.2 million vs. $548 million expected
Net income attributable to shareholders was $28 million, or 19 cents per share, in the latest period. A year ago, it posted a net loss of $44.5 million, or 44 cents a share. Analysts had been looking for the company to book a loss of 13 cents per share.
Revenue grew to $571.2 million from $443.4 million a year earlier. That was better than analysts’ expectations for $548 million.
Stitch Fix reported nearly 4.2 million active clients, up 18% from a year earlier. The company said net revenue per active client was $505, surpassing the $500 threshold for the first time ever.
Stitch Fix defines active clients as people who either ordered a “Fix” subscription or bought an item directly from its website in the preceding 52 weeks from the final day of the quarter.
Last month, Stitch Fix finally opened up its direct-buy option, which is now known as “Freestyle,” to the public. This allows people to shop Stitch Fix for individual items of clothing, without needing to sign up for a subscription.
CEO Elizabeth Spaulding said this should help Stitch Fix grow its addressable market in the year ahead.
For its fiscal first quarter, Stitch Fix said it sees sales in a range of $560 million to $575 million. That’s below analysts’ expectations for $588 million.
For the upcoming fiscal year, Stitch Fix anticipates sales rising 15% or more from the prior year. Analysts polled by Refinitiv had been looking for an 18% increase.
As of Tuesday’s market close, Stitch Fix shares have fallen nearly 39% this year. The company has a market cap of $3.8 billion.
