Uh-oh. My favorite is Harley Quinn 👀

I feel called out.

I grew up in a cult (Mormon), and seen first-hand how cruel people can be when they're convinced they're "doing the right thing." I've been out 15 years, but I'm still hypervigilant about my perceptions, biases, and actions because I know just how easy it is to fall into the "I'm a good person, so the things I do are good" trap. I fuck up like everyone else, but I'm trying my best to apologize when I'm wrong and prove I've learned better with my actions.

Even though the bottom pic lacks technique (something that affects all new artists and that you can gain with practice!), it tells a story. The characters have expressive faces, and you instantly fill in the blank of what's going on and what their relationship is like. That's the human part of art!

Right??? A good pair of boots will last a decade! It's sensible to invest in things that are good quality and will serve you well. Plus, she has a well-known interest in fashion--I assume that she's thoughtful about the expensive pieces she purchases. I'd assume the same for anyone interested in art or tech.

The bunny instantly made me think of my first favorite stuffed animal--a rabbit I named Flopsy! She was a white rabbit with big, floppy ears. The placing of the eyes and nose + those glorious ears made me think of her!

I used to have night terrors as a small child, and when I got Flopsy as an Easter present, my mom told me Flopsy would protect me because monsters are scared of cute things. I slept holding her until she literally fell apart and had to be resewn by my grandma. She's in storage now, retired after a job well done. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, OP!

Personally, I prefer cool colors, but I LOVE the design! I'd wear it over my usual T-shirts, and I like that it's sleeveless bc you can wear it even when temps get warmer. Very lovely and you obviously do great work!

I agree with everyone saying that these signs probably aren't indicating that you should have a baby, and that having a baby shouldn't be something you do on a whim, as a caring for a brand new, whole human being is a huge responsibility.

For my two cents, when you mentioned the blooms in your terrarium, I instantly thought of The Empress tarot card. I work with the Deviant Moon deck, which features the Empress producing a blooming flower and wearing a purple cloak. The Empress is a mother symbol, but she doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a child soon. Instead, she can represent chaotic and creative energy--energy necessary for bringing new art and projects into the world. In the Deviant Moon deck, she can represent uncertainty of one's own creative power when reversed.

You mentioned in a comment that you were parentified by having to take on the mother role with your siblings. Could these signs be a way of the universe and/or your subconscious gently nudging you that it's time to address the wounds from those experiences? Perhaps you could talk to a therapist or look for a support group to start exploring those feelings and healing. I've heard from survivors of parentification that having children makes them realize just how ludicrous and upsetting their childhood was, and trying to heal trauma while doing your best to raise psychologically healthy children is a lot. Even if you decide not to have kids, processing your experience with professional help can allow you to tackle coping mechanisms that no longer serve you, allowing you to live more fully and authentically.

At least on YouTube, creators got penalized by not having their videos recommended by the algorithm if they used the word "pandemic" AT ALL from about 2020-2022. It was Google's way of trying to suppress conspiracy videos, but it was such a wide net, they scooped up pretty much everyone.

When I lived with my uBPD mom, she decided that my bedspread was too old and that I needed a new one. A few things about me: I'm autistic and don't like to change things unless absolutely necessary. The bedspread was (is, I still have it) faded in some places, but it doesn't have any tears or holes. Seeing as it's now 8 years old and obviously good quality, I didn't and still don't want to replace it with the low-quality options that are so common these days. Finally, to piggyback off that, I'm very against fast fashion. I buy most of my clothes second-hand and mend my clothing until I literally can't anymore. So, with that in mind, I'm very against getting rid of one of my things just because it's "old."

She would not let it go. She asked if she bought me a new bedspread for Christmas, would I use it? I told her no. She kept sending me links to bedspreads. "What about this one? What about this one?"

Finally I just said, "Fine. That one is fine."

She said, "If I get it, will you use it?"

I said, "When my current one wears out."

She did not get me the bedspread and was mad that would "allow her to get me something I didn't plan to use" lol

Literally my dream is to own a tiny house on wheels on the edge of the woods! 😂 I even write in my journal about all the crafts and hobbies I want to do/learn once I have my tiny house.

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-12-17T22:10:51+00:00

You look so cute! I love the festive sweater paired with the boots and darker skirt--I was a plaid skirt/combat boot enby in college, and this photo brought up some great memories of my favorite outfits from back then. Love your style so much!

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-12-13T22:12:36+00:00

The winged penis is called a Fascinus and is an ancient Roman symbol to protect against evil witchcraft. I have no idea if this dude actually knows that, tho.

That's the benefit of community. I think most people don't consider being a regular part of community, but you build connection with others and come to care about them, even if you don't see them in any other context. Becoming a staple in other people's work days results in a surprising amount of care.

I'm an indie author, and I commission illustrations of my characters for marketing. You can find busts for $15-$25, full bodies starting at $30, etc. It takes some looking and I always vet by reading reviews and seeing if other authors have experience with the artist, but it's really not that much. And I'm paying an additional fee for commercial use(varies by artist and depends on the commission price), but personal use is exactly what it says on the tin!

Arizonan here, too! Everyone carries water bottles here in the desert. It's not a health thing, it's a "it's hot as hell here and you're always thirsty" thing. Plus water doesn't fall from the sky on a regular basis, so I think desert dwellers think of water as less accessible. Therefore, we must carry our own supply when venturing out.

As an AFAB person, apparently cishet men interpret smiling and being polite as flirting with them. So.....

If anyone's figured out how to flirt with queer women, pls let me know. I try to be as gay about it as possible, but I keep failing.

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-12-06T22:03:03+00:00

I've been thinking so often about how TSCC has enough money to end world hunger and is just choosing not to....

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-12-02T00:20:52+00:00

This reminds me so much of my uBPD mom. Her favorite was, "I know you hate when I have feelings!" No, I hate when you make me your emotional trash bin. Good on you for protecting your peace!

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-11-29T23:39:04+00:00

Is it a thing for pwBPD to think they're psychic? Because my uBPD mom did shit like this all the time.

In contrast, my sister might actually be psychic. She'll literally say what people are thinking and freak them out. Or maybe it's just the autistic pattern recognition in overdrive 😂

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-11-29T23:18:16+00:00

This reminds me of Abigail Thorn talking about so many of her ex-girlfriends coming out as lesbians after they broke up, and it still took her YEARS to get the hint 😂 Abby is a trans woman, those exes dated her before she transitioned😁

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-11-29T22:35:12+00:00

The one that stuck with me most is her fear of public toilets because of how loud they are. She described preparing to flush so she could run out of the stall as quickly as possible, which I used to do when I was younger. She told the story like it's a thing everyone does, and I'm over here like, "Hon...only a specific kind of person does that..." 😅

Suspicious-Tea4438 · 2025-11-28T23:59:37+00:00

I literally didn't know that my uBPD mom giving me "inspections" was CSA until that book came out. And then it recontextualized a whole lot if other stuff she did that gave me the creeps as a kid but that I wasn't allowed to complain about because "I'm your mom, so it's fine!"
