dreading what will happen in the next 4 years because of the election, i will archive this account.

if you'd like to get in better touch with me, i will most likely be more active on blusky (or toyhouse for art/OC specific stuff).

please follow me there instead to keep up with me than any other social media site

Hot take: Actual literary analysis requires at least as much skill as writing itself, with less obvious measures of whether or not you’re shit at it, and nobody is allowed to do any more god damn litcrit until they learn what the terms “show, don’t tell” and “pacing” mean.

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

I won an art competition!!! It’s called Art Wars, and we were given a box of mystery materials and a full sized blank door to create a piece with as many of the materials as we could in 4 hours. I did this same competition in 2022 and won third place, but this year I got first place and I couldn’t be happier about it!!! It was an amazing experience and everyone around me was so kind and supportive.

The piece is called Hold me in Limbo.

The mystery materials I used were linen fabric, nerf darts, orange traffic safety cones, garden gloves, art magazine clippings, a brown paper bag, a moon shaped sticky note, styrofoam plates, blue embroidery floss, and duct tape. See if you can find them all ;) The only materials I used that I brought with me were acrylic paint and a staple gun.

Your periodic reminder that in people who have been subject to threats and punishment for having emotional responses or ‘inappropriate’ facial expressions, panic attacks look different.

They may look like the person has become calmer and less involved, dismissive, even. Some people become intensely subservient and silent. Some become catatonic.

Panic doesn’t always involve screaming, crying, and obvious signs of distress. It involves an extreme form of the person’s fear response – which can be altered by circumstance, ability, and what they’ve learnt to fear.

Which is to say, it’s not your place to decide someone isn’t having a panic attack, when they’ve told you that’s what’s happening.

if you blame addicts or people using drugs recreationally for making ur medicine harder to get instead of blaming the war on drugs and the stigma against people that use drugs then you are a dick and are also directly siding with the people who are making your meds harder to access

The worst thing is that there is so much potential for exploring the horror of psych wards from the angle of medical abuse, ableism, forced treatment/drugging, loss of autonomy, power imbalance, demonization, dehumanization, etc, and YET the horror genre keeps defaulting to "insane asylums and psych wards are scary because there are mentally ill people in there"

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you’re being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don’t waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.
