I want more women to feel empowered to do this.
Scars from breast cancer can be both hard to hide and embarrassing for some women. I wish they werenât, because scars mean youâre a fighter and a bad ass.
Women have told me after their mastectomy they felt self conscious about someone seeing their chest. My grandmother wore her false breast (she had only one boob removed) around even the house for a long time. (Of course, now when we were taking about the procedure she asked âwant to see my boob?â And had to go fetch it from the other room. It was an interesting conversation to say the least.)
Anyway, breast reconstruction can be expensive, and some women either donât want it or canât have it done for various reasons.
But you know what, chest tattoos are easily accessible. There are even tattoo shops that give discounts to women covering up breast cancer scars. And women who no longer have a nipple? You can get a bad ass tattoo
Check out
P.ink [www.p-ink.org] provides tattoo ideas, inspirations and artist info to mastectomy patients.
Their site starts like this:
They host pink day:
Check out some of the work on their site:
You can donate to the organization, or if you know a tattoo artist you can let them know they accept volunteers to be a part of their community of artists.
Here is another badass lady and her bad ass tattoo (found on pinterest)
I am sharing this again because @staff might decide this is âadult contentâ.
These are cancer survivors reclaiming their bodies.
Banning all âfemale presentingâ nipples ignores a commuity of women who are total bad asses who said âfuck youâ to their cancer scars and turned them into art.
Not every image of a female nipple should be sexualized. This is not porn, this is courage and strength.
Are the new regulations going to delete this post. Does a post supporting a cancer survivors violate Tumblrâs community guidelines?
If it does, maybe the guidelines are wrong, and not the post.
Hey @staff, per your guidelines this isnât explicit content.
Yet this post was flagged. Maybe figure out an appeal process.
I asked for a review and they responded:
So women reclaiming their bodies after breast cancer is âsensitive contentâ and should be hidden from minors.
Tumblr has some messed up morals.
Spreading the word! Messed up morals is putting it nicely. Gonna find more nipples to post.Â
I want to tell a story about a Santa and a fiddling Christmas Tree.
So I make costumes. Not your average fitted attire. I mean I do that too, but not just that. I make BIG costumes. Like with metal and shit. So about October-ish, I contacted a costume making studio that does work with a convention called âDickens-fairâ. Maybe Youâve heard of it. It is a Christmas fair that turns the whole center into a replica of Dickensâ London, complete with actors who represent his characters. I had always wanted to go and was just trying to think of ways to help out.
I contacted the head person for costumes for the actors and I told her I make period pieces and I specialize in weird stuff, but also in turning old thrift store items into period attire. She emailed me back and was like âCome meet meâ and so I did. I came out to her studio and was sitting with her folks, showing her pictures of all the stuff Iâd done I was proud of. Then she saysâŚâWaitâŚI have an idea.â
She tells me that every year, Dickens-fair has this one performer who is a fiddling Christmas tree. Like What? yes. A treeâŚthat fiddles. Apparently itâs like the fucking Mickey of Dickens-fair. Only, her outfit was made a few years back from fabric, and kind of looked like a dunce cap with streamers. She told me that this year, the Fiddling Tree wanted a new costume. She says âCan you make a Christmas tree that can fiddle?â
Iâm likeâŚno. âIf she can fiddle and wear a tree, then I can build a tree that can be worn by a fiddler. Hell yeah.â
And sheâs likeâŚâIt canât touch her shoulders, and it has to fit over her normal costume, and it has to be period accurate, so all period ornaments.âÂ
And Iâm likeâŚbitch, âI got this.âÂ
She says âCome back in a week and meet her and give us your idea.â
So I designedâŚbecause I make costumes and I have Christmas in my blood. My mom always tells this story about how when I was like 4, I was with her at the train station in LA and I saw this man sitting on a bench. Now this man wore blue denim overalls, with a long sleeved red shirt, had a white beard, and carried a wooden cane carved with Rudolph, who had a gemstone noseâŚHe was fucking Santa. Admit it. And 4 year old me was likeâŚâŚSANTA? My mom always says I stared at him hard and then tried to climb in his lap, like for real Tim Allen from Santa Clause style, but he was cool, and pulled me into his lap and had a whole conversation with me about whether or not I was being goodâŚin July. According to my mom, he told her he was a professional Santa and this was something he always got from kids, and that he loved it. He then got picked up by a woman in a convertible and drove away.
My mom has been telling me this story since I was five.Â
So this year, about 3 years ago, I was likeâŚA Christmas tree that fiddlesâŚI got this.
I mean, I drew this shit. I went to hardware stores and craft shops and I priced out this shit. There were emails about what I could expect to be the substructure. I made a barbie doll scale model with pipe cleaners. I came in with a fucking Plan.
And they laughed and said⌠âWe love the barbieâŚOK.â
So I had a budget. I had an idea. And I went with it. I made measurements and all sorts of stuff. Let me tell you about this costumeâŚ
This woman is 6â˛2âł. She fiddles. She wears, beneath the tree, a full period costume. This means a bell hoop skirt and a corset. I made sure they had a hoop for her that was carved from fucking PVC pipe and a steel boned corset, and I went to work. I had framesâŚon fucking chainsâŚfrom MY CEILING. I had the whole thing mapped out.
A lightweight metal skirt in a grid pattern made from chain, linked together in a mesh. gathered at the waist and clipped like a belt. Over the head, a cone-like structure carved out of mesh, mounted on braces that were lashed to the torso with straps bolted into the metal cross-braces. A light aluminum frame. And over thisâŚa cape, made from long dangling chains. Every inch of chain was coated in weatherproofing green paint. Every few linksâŚa limb hacked off a fake plastic Christmas tree. Woven amidst these? A series of handmade and donated ornaments, including fake cookies made from clay, fake candles with a remote control that controlled the flicker. I had paper ornaments, streamers, instruments made of brass, birds, candies made from plasticâŚI mean I had everything, and all to period. I worked and worked on this for months and had numerous fittings.
The aluminum headpiece came along. I was stressed. I didnât know exactly how I was going to make this fucking cone mount on her chest so her shoulders would be free. I mean I had ideas - like a cone, but with a back and front piece that came down her torso and to which, straps were fixed that clipped at the sides. This would distribute weight evenly through the corset and allow for freedom of the shoulders. But! I didnât have a firm plan. I went to the hardware store.
Me. Three months pregnant. All cute and glowy and shit.
And I walked into the section where all the plumbing and flashing is. Now I know my way around. I hate going here because Iâm usually hassled by a dude who thinks girls canât know shit about hardware. But this timeâŚthis time it was a nice old man with a snowy white beard, wearing a red shirt and a green apron. Iâm likeâŚheâs a SantaâŚthis is fate.
He comes over and says âWhat can I help you with today?â
And so I tell him the whole story. About the tree, and the odd parameters, the physics, the complexities. I tell him what Iâm trying to create, this cone of metal lashed to the chest, and heâŚ
Smiles.Â
He tells me, âIâm a Santa. I do it every year. I love this project! I want to help!â
As we are brain storming, and heâs showing me all the products that might work, he mentions to me that he isnât the first Santa in his family.
âMy dad did it for most of his life.â
âMan, I have such respect for Santas. My mom always tells this story about me meeting this man who looked like a Santa at a train station and trying to sit on his knee.â
The man got very quiet. âAt a train station?â
âYeah, like he was wearing overalls and a red shirt and had this carved caneâŚâ
âI remember that cane,â he says.
I turn to himâŚÂ âThe one with Rudolph?â
âWith a ruby nose. Yeah. After he died I looked everywhere for it, but I couldnât find it.â
I stopped. Like straight up stopped moving, with like my limbs all cold as snow. âWait a minute? What? Are you telling me you know that Santa?â
âI think that was my dad. He is exactly as you say. He worked on the railroad as a conductor for most of his life, and when he retired they gave him free travel. He was always taking trips, and he always went as Santa, because after he retired, he did that full time.â
âDid your mom own a convertible? Like a sleek one?â
âYup.â
I lost it. Iâm in the middle of fucking Ace Hardware, talking to Santa, about my Santa, the one I canât remember, but always knew existed, and that man is this Santaâs daddy. And here I amâŚshopping for parts to a fiddling Christmas tree. I cried like a little kid. He hugged me. I apologized and told him I was in my first trimester. He said it was fine. He gave me his card. Told me he was glad to hear his father had had such an impact on kids. He helped me pick out my tree pieces and then checked me out.
I built the best fucking tree you ever saw. I wove metal. I bent aluminum. I used riveters. I worked with saws, and vices, and paint, and glue, and fucking plastic clay. I did everything wearing gloves and a mask because of baby. I did it all like I had a fire under me, because fuck thatâŚIâm not letting Santas down.
And this is what I made.
This was the dry fitting, the trial run. We fluffed it out with more limbs, added bits here and there, or planned for more. I strung this fucking thing from my rafters on a mannequin and we had a tree decorating party, putting ornaments on it like it was a real tree. Then we had her put on the whole thing, and we watched her play âO Tannenbaumâ
And it was the best Christmas moment ever, for me.Â
That year, I had free tickets to Dickens-fair. I went and caught sight of my Christmas tree fiddling around, playing songs for kids and spreading the spirit. Then later I saw the fiddler dancing in Fezziwigâs ball, with her tree skirt still on over her dress. It was awesome, seeing this 7.5Ⲡtall tree gliding around, this thing I made, with help from My Santaâs Son.
I was Santa that year. It made my holiday.
So the next time you meet a Santa⌠it might not be the real guy⌠but you needed to meet him. And if you are a Santa⌠this is what you do. This is your legacy.
Keep it up.
Hi! Person who works the Great Dickens Christmas Fair here. I have seen this tree about in our fake London and I was always so in awe of it. I canât stress this, the women who wears this literally looks like a Christmas tree and itâs magical and I was always like âthatâs crazy and definitely Fair, I love itâ. Youâre a joy and always welcome at the Fair :) I would love to give you tickets for this year and/or future years. Youâve made our fake London more magical and for that I canât thank you enough.
Wow thatâs so sweet!!!!
Unfortunately, Iâm not going to be there this year as Iâm traveling literally the entire time the fair is on, but I might just take you up on this in future years if youâre game! I love going to this fair and wearing my period costume I made. Really a fun fair. Thank you so much for the offer.
Ah bell hoopsâŚ
Are you wearing bloomers also?
That is a very fine gown.
True Story: Iâm dating the Fiddling Christmas Tree.
oh my god every single part of this was magical but then i get to the end and THE TREE IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND this is the best thing ever.
why do we have 567898475 hallmark christmas movies about some bland woman being shown the magic of christmas by falling for an equally bland man when we could have generational santa magic inspiring intrepid costumers to bring fiddling trees to life? a Travesty
Hey if you wanna reach out to Lifetime network, thatâs totally fine with me.
Touched By A⌠No. Let me think through this again.
Hereâs a little trick Iâve used in D&D games where the premise of your campaign calls for the party to have access to lots of Stuff, but you donât want to do a whole bunch of bookkeeping: the Wagon.
In a nutshell, the party has a horse-drawn wagon that they use to get around between â and often during â adventures. This doesnât come out of any individual player characterâs starting budget; itâs just provided as part of the campaign premise.
Before setting out from a town or other place of rest, the party has to decide how many gold pieces they want to spend on supplies. These funds arenât spent on anything in particular, and form a running total that represents how much Stuff is in the wagon.
Any time a player character needs something in the way of supplies during a journey or adventure, one of two things can happen:
1. If itâs something that any fool would have packed for the trip and itâs something that could reasonably have been obtained at one of the partyâs recent stopovers (e.g., rations, spare clothing, fifty feet of rope, etc.), then the wagon contains as much of it as they reasonably need. Just deduct the Playerâs Handbook list price for the item(s) in question from the wagonâs total.
2. If itâs something where having packed it would take some explaining, or if itâs something thatâs unlikely to have been available for purchase at any of the partyâs recent stopovers (e.g., a telescope, a barrel of fine wine, a book of dwarven erotic poetry, etc.), the player in need makes a retroactive Intelligence or Wisdom check, versus a DC set by the GM, to see if they somehow anticipated the need for the item(s) in question. Proficiency may apply to this check, depending on whatâs needed. The results are read as follows:
Success: You find what youâre looking for, more or less. If the group is amenable, you can narrate a brief flashback explaining the circumstances of its acquisition. Deduct its list price (or a price set by the GM, if itâs not on the list) from the wagonâs total.
Failure by 5 points or less: You find something sort of close to what youâre looking for. The GM decides exactly what; it wonât ever be useless for the purpose at hand, but depending on her current level of whimsy, it may simply be a lesser version of what you were looking for, or it may be something creatively off the mark. Deduct and optionally flash back as above.
Failure by more than 5 points: You come up empty-handed, and canât try again for that item or anything closely resembling it until after your next stopover.
As an incidental benefit, all the junk the wagon is carrying acts as a sort of ablative armour. If the wagon or its horses would ever take damage, instead subtract a number of gold pieces from its total equal to the number of hit points of damage it would have suffered. The GM is encouraged to describe whatâs been destroyed in lurid detail.

twitter etiquette for new users
replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. donât make rude jokes if youâre not friends already though!
quote retweeting is a no-no. when you âretweet with a commentâ itâs not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they donât get the likes and retweets they would get if youâd just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with âLRTâ which stands for âlast retweetâ (itâs fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)
you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content. you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. itâs a good way to keep things separate.
what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, youâll be able to see it.Â
you can mute people you follow. (and those you donât, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. itâs a good way to keep the peace!
you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option youâve selected.)
miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it wonât show up in their notifications as long as itâs within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. donât be lame. donât be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom youâre in. use the mute tools at your disposal and donât be a spoiler. you wonât come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.
thatâs it! happy tweeting!!
how do i keep all my content together on twitter?
threads are your best friend!! you make a tweet with your commission info and links and so on and pin it to the top of your page. then reply to that tweet with a copy and pasted link to the tweet where you posted the art/fic/etc you want to not lose. reply to that new tweet with the next piece of artwork and so on. you can also make a unique hashtag for your content to use when you post, so that when you search that hashtag later youâre able to see just your art. good luck!
Reblog to show your support for NSFW Artists, who deserve better than having their art censored/removed because of a badly thoughtout idea
I donât reblog much, but this is too well said not to.
This always gets a reblog.
I remember seeing this shortly after I first came out and it just filled me with so much hope.
Everyone reblog this as much as possible over the next two weeks for good luck
REBLOG IF NAZIS OFFEND YOU MORE THAN NIPPLES.
TIME MANAGEMENT STUFF / TERM 7Â
Iâve got a lot of questions about this during my Art Center time, so I drew it ! This system came from when I had to manage my time during art high school (8am-5pm everyday) with 2 waitress jobs. Everybody has different working method, but I will be more than happy if anyone gets new idea from it !Â

If you think your art blog is going to be deleted:
You can save all your posts with these instructions Iâll do it too just to be safe, I honestly donât remember what Iâve posted here over the years.
You can also import a copy of your blog into wordpress. YMMV if you have a huge amount of posts.
Oh thanks!! This is also a good one!! In case the first doesnât work or you donât have the memory for a whole zip of your blog~
