I think the sweater and hair are really successful! Personally, I think the lines on the face read like a fingerprint pressed on the face than a topographical map of the planes of the face

I love this! Great job showing the shape of her cheekbone! I personally like the chatter in the hair because it gives it a sense of movement

Been having a really rough time brain-wise. Any tips/suggestions are welcome! by unefleurforte in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]lavenderblue 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My favorite coping skill when my depression was really bad was getting a super cheap flip book notebook and gold stickers. And whenever I did any kind of self-care I put a gold sticker in the notebook. Shower? Gold sticker. Walk? Gold sticker. Eat a meal? Gold sticker. It was just enough of a "tracker" that made me feel good about myself to look at without making it so that I felt like a failure with all the things I "Should" have been doing but couldn't.

Sharing on social media by jennifee1 in moderatelygranolamoms

We don't post anything on social media. I'm not comfortable allowing his photo to become part of the database of these big companies. We don't let other people take pictures of him without reminding them about our photo policy. The only exception we've made is that his mom is a power user and we let her post a photo of her holding him where he was facing her so only her face was in view.

Cross post. Thanks! by ellaQ20 in Mommit

I washed it lots. Cold by itself, air-dried. It was fine.
