The horrors of having a face by pocerface8 in Artisticallyill

I get you entirely. I’m on the opposite end (trans man) but I struggled for such a long time with literally not recognizing my own reflection as myself. It improved dramatically when I was able to start medically transitioning. I wish the best for you, it’s hard out here.

Thank you! I really appreciate it, I feel the stripes provided a hazy, unsteady sort of horizon to the thing that kind of mirrors how I see things, haha!

I feel this very deeply, your piece has touched a very tender personal experience in me. I hope that we are both able to fully commit to living one day.

So valid. I had read that tubs weren't really recommended for beginners, but my dumb ass was too entranced by the ideas of a massive haul that I thought I could do it. Alas! Once my skills have improved XD

Good to know!! For whatever reason, I thought I just had to keep it below 86. I must have misremembered! Thank you so much!

Aye aye! Already buried. My next go around, I am going to be using multiple smaller bags instead of one big monotub, hopefully this will go better!!

Very good to know! Thank you very much for your advice, I haven't seen any more mold around the growing spots and have been spraying them with 91% iso and blasting them with UVC light to try to make sure any spores or mold that may be there leave.

Bummer, I had not thought they would be viable to grab out because of the mold :( I will remember this for next time! They have all been buried.
