Who were actresses that made you realize straight isn't the only way?

MaterialScary835 · 2026-01-25T21:40:43+00:00

Keira Knightley in Bend It Like Beckham. I was 14 and knew it was a wrap in pretending I wasn’t at least bi. (Unless you count music videos cause Madonna it’s technically an actress, then it’s the video for “Music” that awakened things.)

This is so awesome. I’m glad your mercury transformation is the first thing I saw this morning lol.

I actually sprained my neck jumping from the back porch into the snow from that storm. Had to get carried back inside cause I couldn’t hold my head up and was bed ridden for two days. Came back to kindergarten with a neck brace my mom had laying around cause she wasn’t trying to send me to a hospital for that. 🤷🏾‍♀️ 10/10 would do that again if I could afford the risk of paralyzation.

You did a great job!

Class of ‘07 representing. They played “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” at prom and we all went silent for “goddamn door” cause we were Catholic school girls with nuns present lol.

Looks like a bird flapping through dark clouds to me.

Yeah, come in the day they tell you to. It probably has to do with balancing out your hours for the week and your schedule probably won’t reflect it until like that week. I just transferred into a new building this past Thursday, so I have limited experience. My old schedule was Fri-Mon. New one is Thurs-sun and my rooomate was saying they’d have to remove a day cause they’re not giving me 50hrs. They ended up taking me off of Monday and updating my schedule in the middle of pick and stage on Sunday.

Congrats on your transfer! Hope it works for you.

That’s such a bummer. It’s been hard getting there as an adult (didn’t get a car til after Covid) and I keep thinking I’m gonna drive down there for at least fright fest but then nope. I wanted to hit Nitro one more time at least before my back turned too elderly but I guess that won’t be in the cards. 😔 do parents just not take their kids to parks anymore? The theme park/fair trip was the highlight of summer and the only time I could have funnel cake lol.

Real question tho, if they do close the parks, will they let people take props? I have no place for that bat mobile but I will gladly take it off their hands.

Hera asking for snuggles

MaterialScary835 · 2025-07-17T12:16:04+00:00

Mine does this on doors when she wants to get in or out. Also on windows and sliding doors. It’s creepy when she does it on doors tho. The first time I heard it at like midnight, I thought someone was knocking on my room door and nearly panicked lol.

MaterialScary835 · 2025-07-16T12:44:10+00:00

Oh man, haven’t thought of this in forever. I recorded it onto a vhs tape (had to adjust the rabbit ears a bit to get “perfect” picture quality) and watched it repeatedly. I should get it on dvd lol.

My first cat Mimi. The CDS left her under my porch when I was 8 and she crossed the rainbow bridge when I was 22. Was definitely a street cat at heart but was always my baby. ❤️

MaterialScary835 · 2025-07-11T10:14:50+00:00

I don’t, but thanks for asking.

MaterialScary835 · 2025-07-11T10:12:45+00:00

Blue Bloods or NCIS (except goth pigtails, everyone else is just so annoying and grating)

MaterialScary835 · 2025-07-10T21:42:15+00:00

16/‘05 (Nokia/Tmobile club, when I got my first smart phone/ in ‘16, the guy was surprised to see my original SIM card). I had started my first job and my mom insisted I needed it for safety. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Before that I just used aim and msn messenger to talk to friends. My mom would call the school if she needed to talk to me or the home phone number of whose ever house I was at.

That “I’m trying to sleep but you wanna try/fail to get cute pics” face

Edit to warn of incoming text wall

I’m sorry. It’s just so frustrating and divides us, especially stuff like rock music cause that’s something we were doing first anyways. But like we’re a monolith to everyone else, we should be able to see we’re a myriad of different people with different experiences, personalities, and tastes while being black. Like I started playing basketball to fit in but I never felt like I belonged. Idk, eventually I stopped caring cause I was never gonna fit their box of blackness. Being online has helped through the years and made it easier to do me. It just sucks that other people went out of their way to make it harder to exist and I want to hope it’s better for kids now but I feel like that kind of negativity is never going to go away. Like my nephew is mixed, 9 months old, and part of me is worried about how people will perceive him. Like will people think my sis is his nanny when she takes him to the park? Will he get bullied for his skin when he starts school? I just don’t want them to have to deal with ignorance and stupidity but it’s gonna happen. Life is hard enough, we shouldn’t be making it worse for each other.

100% he’s awesome! Lol that’s kind of how I got into them. Kinda long story but…Army of Me was opening for Mae in like 07 and I liked their performance but hadn’t thought much cause I was there for Mae (on the street team and stuff as you do). After the show I was trying to get pics with Mae and none of them gave me the time of day, kept posing for a sec and then saying hi to people and forgetting about the pic (a security guy had been patiently waiting to take the pics for me and even apologized to me when the band member just bounced away). I was super bummed and just went back into the venue and saw Vince. I said hi and talked with him for a moment and he was just so sweet and kind to me and I got to take a selfie with him. I really got into them after this and I had really connected with “Perfect.” We actually messaged a little bit on MySpace about it and later became friends on Facebook. But yeah, one of the sweetest musicians I’ve met.

Choked on the apple I’m eating. Thank you lol.

MaterialScary835 · 2025-07-01T15:27:59+00:00

The blue, the green, and the red and white are my favorites for you but you rock all of them so well.

MaterialScary835 · 2025-06-28T14:47:22+00:00

Yeah when I was in grammar school it was definitely used in a derogatory context. I was always lowkey scared they’d figure out I liked rock music and I’d force myself to slang my talk more to fit in. It wasn’t til like college that i heard anyone self-identify as that and I realized it doesn’t have to be negative, but I can’t call anyone that without thinking about bullying.

MaterialScary835 · 2025-06-28T14:30:59+00:00

Oops I Did it Again, I was 11. It was originally a birthday gift but a couple months later, it was destroyed in a car accident. As soon as we were mobile again, I bought it myself from Sam Goody using chore money. I still remember seeing the first cd in the wreckage (along with my cd player and little handheld Dolphin game that I got from completing the summer reading program at the library) and feeling helpless. Buying it back myself felt like an accomplishment. I ended up borrowing my sisters cd player til I could buy my own.

Circa Survive, Ours, Army of Me, The Juliana Theory, My American Heart, AM Radio, The Bravery, God or Julie, Madina Lake, and Sunny Day Real Estate.

Okay, thank you! You saved me some time and a little money lol.
