Please do not follow if you are under 18. While this blog is not mainly NSFW, sometimes I post things that I'd rather not have minors interact with. Do with that information what you will.

I'm 23 years old. I like gardening but I don't have any land right now so everything is in pots indoors. I just moved to a place with a garden bed outside, but it's buried under snow at the moment. Watch out for updates on that. I try to keep a sort of, photojournal? of my plants on here, but I get behind often.

Primarily, besides garden stuff, I reblog artwork from my favorite fandoms and a few sparse other things. Every so often I'll also crash out in a very personal way. Sorry in advance.

I'm also an artist! I have a focus in 2D digital painting, especially landscapes/environment art. I'd like to say I'm at an intermediate level. Previously I've mostly done natural landscapes but I'm branching into more urban scenes. Below my artwork is a list of tags. I am bad at tagging and WILL forget to tag appropriately sometimes.

#gardenblr -> garden stuff

#art appreciation tag -> reposting someone's art (usually with relevant fandom tagged: nier/sonic/etc)

#fav -> my favorite posts/post hall of fame

#saving for later -> usually a guide of some sort I intend on returning to

#text post -> posts which are exclusively text

Honestly I haven't settled on a tag for my own artwork, I think it changes, but you can try #digital art, #my art, and #original artwork

Fandom tags

#nier -> nier automata etc

#ryan gosling -> tbh I'm about to start putting this on phm and fall guy and Barbie stuff bc this man is blorbo

#phm -> project hail mary (movie)

#sonic -> sonic the hedgehog etc

#the fall guy -> the fall guy movie

#maximum ride -> some bullshit James patterson wrote in the 2000s-2010s that had a chokehold on me in middle school and I still routinely think about

happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw

This is a perfect time to read the brilliant and unforgettable graphic novel(s) Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, about growing up in Iran during and after the Iranian Revolution, and the rise of the oppressive theocracy that persists to this day.

Both graphic novels are available free online (Persepolis vol. 1, Persepolis vol. 2)

It also was adapted to a wonderful film (co-directed and co-written by the author) which is available to watch for free on Sundance Now (sign up for the free trial)

this. I’ve had this conversation multiple times with my guy and he’s… still kinda repeating it. Like yes, a cookie sounds great but also… I could just have that cookie now.

main thing lately has been schedule. I do work significantly better under schedules and structure but omg is sticking to one a living hell. And like… I choose to just… not do the thing one day. Yep. All gone. unless I have reminders at every hour telling me what to do, I’m gonna forget or just not to do it. And be actively aware I’m not doing it and accuse myself of faking it to myself and… yeah it’s always a thing.

what I hear too a lot is, allow two hours for you time! Do the fun things then! but like… why the fuck would I do that?? Only two hours a day I can have whimsy?? I’m gonna explode

My son's tattoo hurt me deeply

When Tess Morgan's son came home with a tattoo, she was griefstricken. She knew her reaction was OTT (he's 21) but it signalled a change in their relationship

This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read

[brawlcloud]

This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so

He says, “I’m still the same person.”

I look at him, sitting there, my 21-year-old son. I feel I’m being interviewed for a job I don’t even want. I say, “But you’re not. You’re different. I will never look at you in the same way again. It’s a visceral feeling. Maybe because I’m your mother. All those years of looking after your body – taking you to the dentist and making you drink milk and worrying about green leafy vegetables and sunscreen and cancer from mobile phones. And then you let some stranger inject ink under your skin. To me, it seems like self-mutilation. If you’d lost your arm in a car accident, I would have understood. I would have done everything to make you feel better. But this – this is desecration. And I hate it.”

[quasi-normalcy]

Also just the classism of her associating tattoos with “vest tops, dogs on chains, broken beer glasses”; like, just say you hate poor people

My 1 single cinnamon bite I made at work today and the tiny side box I made for it. Yes I put it in the oven like that.

"Nobody finds it difficult to-" I assure you there's at least one disability that exists that make that particular task difficult.

There is one very important thing I need people without major dietary restrictions to understand: the distress caused by allergies, celiac disease, and other food restrictions is largely not about the food.

Do I miss some foods I can't eat anymore without getting sick? Sure, but that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is being excluded from a huge portion of human social life of which food is a crucial component. What bothers me is the stress and social stigma of trying to figure out what I can safely eat. What bothers me is the amount of extra work and cost that is required of me to identify, obtain, and prepare safe foods. What bothers me is people treating my needs like a nuisance, as though I chose to be like this - as though their brief inconvenience to check an ingredients list is unreasonable, when I deal with this every day of my life forever.

I don't miss the food that much. I miss not having to worry about what I eat. I miss freedom. I miss when trying new foods and new restaurants was fun instead of a minefield. I miss not having to plan my entire life around the need for safe foods.

Food is such a basic human need, and a lot of people don't really need to think about it. When your danger foods can be anywhere and everywhere, suddenly your entire life revolves around avoiding them, and it massively sucks. You get used to it and it's not a big deal most of the time, but then you go to a new restaurant, or your office has a potluck, or you've been invited to a party and suddenly it feels just as miserable and exhausting as it ever has.

"christian characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are atheist" "atheist characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are christian" stop fighting. all human experience is poorly written in movies because the writers are californian

On my period, third time in 40 days . Bleeding is heavier than I'm used to since I quit the junel. I feel like falling over. I'm so tired, and cramping, and struggling.
