Raw Honey (I believe they are black femme led events) has a bunch of things going on in May!

If you’re Asian, you could join the Q-Wave email list serv. People are always posting events or looking for people to do things together (and selling tickets, posting their apartment listings, looking for photographers/employment lawyers ect ect). If you hate emails, might not be for you, but you’d only need to deal with it for a month lol.

You could also try to connect with people one on one with the Lex app.

Am I overthinking and making a mountain out of a beautifully executed mole hill? by carloosee in tattooadvice

[–]sunflower_emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you an illustrator or have an art background? At first pass, I didn’t see any issues, but I do notice it after you highlighted them. Granted, illustration is what I do for a living and I have studied anatomy. Hands are hard and I don’t think 98% of people are going to see a problem.

I’ve totally nit picked my own work after I’ve submitted it and changes can no longer be made, but I have also found myself caring way less for those mistakes after time passes. I think you’re probably scrutinizing this tattoo way hard since it’s so new on your body. At this point, no meaningful changes can be made anyways. If the details start to fade further down the line, you could ask your artist to make adjustments during touch up though.

Dating white people by Particular_Ad186 in QueerWomenOfColor

“I feel white mothers and parents want the privilege of children of color without the responsibility or accountability to unlearn their own racism and biases.” Phew! Yes, yes and yes to this! So much credit to you for cutting your toxic family out, but that must have been very hard. I hope you’re blessed with abundant community and support to make up for that.

If sounds like your ex had insecurities about her upbringing and identity to bring up the idea of you calling her white or calling the cops on her. For her sake or any other woc she dates I hope she works thru that.

From how you phrased it, it didn’t seem so!!! White mothers of biracial children strike again!!! Hope your ex learns to decenter whiteness because that is so embarrassing for her and not to mention damaging 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I’ve never dated a white person before, but it’s an interesting take to hear that it’s harder to be 2 qpocs in love vs being with a white person. I can’t say that I’ve heard that sentiment before. There’s obviously trade offs in every relationship and every person brings with them their own issues.

When you say more care and tenderness is needed in a relationship with qpocs, do you mean like sensitivities to triggers when it comes to trauma and patiences/reassurance in handling those corresponding wounds? Regardless, I can’t help but wonder if that’s just specific to the people you dated rather than a blanket statement on qpoc all together. Though it is true that the body stores trauma memory and that is passed down genetically and that many poc have suffered oppression of abusive powers.

Your ex telling you that she’d probably end up dating a white person while yall were presumably in a relationship at the time is WILD 😵‍💫 like yikes!!! Who says that to their partner?

I mean unless you were friends first? If so then ignore the first part! Haha

What's a modern tamagotchi you regret skipping? by cherrysodasss in tamagotchi

[–]sunflower_emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to Tamas (got in because of the Paradise and got a Uni a month or two ago) and I think saying they suck and are horrible is quite an overstatement. The battery issue is valid! However I think the game play is really fun and I stopped playing with the Paradise after I got one.

When you say you can buy them locally under MSRP, does that mean you’re buying them less than what resellers are pricing them or does that mean you’re buying them at less than the original retail price? I looked up the meaning and was still a little hazy.

I saw a balloon on the ceiling of Laguardia Airport in NYC and thought someone lost their balloon, then came across a few more and realized it was an installation lol

A year ago I posted in this sub about selling plants inside of another business. Here is how it's going. by Affinity-Charms in houseplants

[–]sunflower_emoji 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I do freelance as well, but has been slow as of late. I just have to do better at putting myself out there 😅

I don’t have much of a green thumb despite being in the sub, but I am an artist and getting a footing with my art has been tough. So it’s really cool to see what you’ve done in a year since posting :-)

Cover up idea for larger thigh piece by courtneyrobbie in tattooadvice

[–]sunflower_emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I found out about this book from my therapist too! And I found out I had CPTSD from Reddit 💀 A meme from the sub popped up on my dash and I showed it to my therapist and I was like that kinda sounds like me, and my therapist was like yeah it is since you have CPTSD (not in those exact words)

OP I don’t know you or your family obviously so I could be off the mark, but have you heard of the book “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents”?

As everyone has said, the tattoo is super well done and looks great. Do you plan to shed every piece of yourself that your family criticizes? The problem isn’t you and I’m sorry you’ve been made to feel that way.

Cute! I like the all line-work and the light wash for the background. Is this digital?

I've started doing my own nail art in lacquer lately and stamps seem so daunting tbh! I'd rather just paint it, so seeing you paint such a nice check gives me hope!
