Moment of transparency:
3 years ago, I was the biggest I’d ever been. I just remember stepping on the scale and saying “Damn I’m 14 pounds away from 400 pounds.” In that moment I decided something had to be done. I chose the medical route and later surgery so that I’d be able to maintain. Diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance, so the weight would be impossible to lose and keep off. Don’t let other people’s opinions determine what you need to do for you!!
God I thank You, first and foremost, for opening my eyes and renewing me!! You never gave up on me no matter how many times I questioned Your will for me!!
3 years later, my friend gifted me a boudoir photo shoot. January 2023, this experience jump started my journey to finding myself again. I’m finding myself beyond motherhood, beyond failed relationships, beyond postpartum, beyond the negativity that fueled many of the choices I made. I’m not quite where I want to be but I’m damn near close. I’ve been hesitant on sharing from this experience bc I don’t want to “offend” anyone… for so long no one cared if I was offended, no one cared how their moves affected me, no one cared how their moves made me feel. I’m sharing this today to tell you, especially my ladies… F**K THEIR FEELINGS!!! Do what you need to do for you!! I worked hard for this new era, and I’m coming for what I deserve. Just look close, I got the scars to prove it!!
Have a great day on purpose!!

Gonna throw out something crazy. See what sticks. Maybe nothing, hopefully something:
In about 3 months, the US is getting a total solar eclipse. I am a Librarian at a Public Library hosting an event.
Now, I KNOW every corner of the globe has mythology on this very cool astrological event. Many with neat monsters/creatures to go with. It is difficult to find images of said creatures. Sometimes even difficult to find the mythology from various parts of the world. Almost impossible to find coloring pages.
I live in a tiny town, and I am doing everything I can to expand the horizons of the kiddos who live here, and they go bananas for a good story out loud, especially if they have something to do with their hands while listening, like pictures to color in.
I call on the artists of the internet. If you know of a myth about Solar Eclipse, please add on to this post. Tell me the basic myth, tell me the country/culture of origin, and please please please, add a cool picture I can turn into a coloring page. Artist names will be left on pictures for admirers to go look them up, and I hope artists see this as a fun challenge.
I don’t even know if Tumbler in English language has that much of an international presence but… 🤷🏻♀️ Here’s hoping.

honestly, the way I see it, comic books are like greek mythology. all the stories are true and also none of them are. that character would NEVER do that except in that issue that they did. AND, in that vein, the stories are told and retold in different ways throughout the ages by different people. comic book "canon" is so laughable bc you feasibly argue that character X is the height of morality while on the other hand, in other works, a smarmy author wrote them as a gross asshole. so what is true? whatever needs to be true for the story you're trying to tell. whats not true? whatever you didn't like about them.

okay now that i'm no longer trying to keep a project secret from certain people i can complain publicly about a thing i've been losing my mind about:
why the fuck is the evo wiki like that.
listen. i know. i know fandom wikis being decent entirely relies on whether there are people who both want to obsessively categorize things enough to fill out the wiki, with the free time to do that kind of obsessive categorization, and the desire to manage it all as a wiki. believe me, i know. but please i'm just trying to do research please, please at least bigb's page was just Entirely Empty so i knew i had useless information and just left. why the fuck did the mafia's page, by contrast, have this:
a sentence that is actively LESS USEFUL THAN IF IT WERE NOT THERE.
and then grian's page - GRIAN'S. GRIAN'S. THE ONE PAGE I THOUGHT MIGHT HAVE A SHOT OF BEING FILLED OUT. JOKE'S ON ME I GUESS.
BECAUSE IT HAS THIS????? I'M LOSING MY MIND. WHY ON EARTH IS THE WIKI LIKE THIS. WHY IS IT THIS BAD. PLEASE I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EVERYONE'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH JIMMY AND MARTYN WERE PLEASE,
anyway thankfully i had friends who could help me with their own knowledge and who also found the evo recap but in conclusion i have been being driven mad by this for weeks, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
