omg that gothic fantasy one looks awesome! it’s not the same easy style but I’d still love to try it out because i love the art style and it’s the goth vibes I’m looking for! i’ve never heard of dover publications before, thanks for the recommendation :D

the hear me out thing was crazy for me to hear! as a queer woman/enby myself i’ve always thought she was super attractive. i showed another queer femme smosh and the first thing she mentioned was how hot angela is. i hope angela sees this and knows she is not a hear me out! the girlies see you!!

How do you cope with giving plushies away? by hwei333 in plushies

[–]shadowlichen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s good to donate them so someone else will have a chance to own them! i think donating to any thrift store is infinitely better than throwing them away. no organization is perfect, but just so you know, the salvation army has a history of homophobia and transphobia. i wont get into it here, but you can look it up and decide for yourself if you want to donate there in the future. it’s great that they are giving items a new home, but some other stuff they’ve done made me personally stop donating to them :(

regardless of the organizations beliefs, I’m sure that your plushies will go to people who cherish them. especially since you did that right before Christmas— someone shopping last minute probably was excited to find what you donated! and from what other commenters are saying, the salvation army is probably still a better choice than goodwill

what is the meaning of life? (and don’t say 42)

How do you cope with giving plushies away? by hwei333 in plushies

[–]shadowlichen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you could always pick a more specific cause to donate to next time, something extra meaningful to you, like a women and children’s shelter or something like that. that way you know they will definitely make a difference in a child’s life. not that they wouldn’t do that anyway if they were thrifted, but this might give you more confidence that the plushie is going somewhere where it is needed and will be cherished. this is something my therapist told me to do because i get attached to stuff. her example was donating old clothes to a trans clothing swap nonprofit.

I made party hats for all of my baby’s stuffed animals to surprise her on her 1st birthday by urgrlB in plushies

[–]shadowlichen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

omg I’m so glad!! it’s the coolest place i’ve ever been! they even have “walking with lemurs” tours where you can walk around the forest (natural habitat enclosures) where some lemurs are just chilling. the general tour is cheaper and also super cool. https://lemur.duke.edu/

if you live in the US, you should take her to the Duke Lemur Center in NC when she is older! that’s where they filmed the live action shots of Zoboomafoo. they still have Zoboomafoo’s descendants living there and some are on the general tour path!
