hello I am at my wits end and I need to know something. Do you talk to your mother every day?

Yes

No

Remaining time: 6 days 6 hours

No nuance. If you don’t have a mother/are no contact etc this is not a poll for you.

You can elaborate as to how often you feel is a regular amount of communication between an adult child and their mother.

Mon cadeau ce soir ...

Yuja Wang apporte sa virtuosité caractéristique à la « Rhapsody in Blue » de Gershwin, interprétée ici aux côtés de Mahler Chamber Orchestra

[curliestofcrowns]

I just saw her at my Chautauqua!! Her hands go so fast and she wears such tall shoes and shiny dresses!

[writrs]

How is it that when I saw the video with the sound off, I knew she was playing Rhapsody in Blue?

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.

Oh, dear. I can't reblog that fast enough.

you ever think about how famous poet conrad aiken used to visit his parents graves (murder-suicide when he was 11) and would boat watch and one time he saw a boat called 'cosmos mariner' and was like holy SHIT that goes HARD and he went to look up where it was going and it just said 'destination unknown' and he was like OH MY GODDDDDDD so he ended up putting "COSMOS MARINER: DESTINATION UNKNOWN" on his grave which is also a bench so you too can sit by his parents graves and look out for boats with cool names?

[snizabelle]

He was so real for this

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

If (when) you repost this on pinterest at least put a link to the original post somewhere..
