Dear Usamerican High Schoolers Looking For A Way To Resist Fascism: Sit Through The Pledge Of Allegiance.

Actually though....accurate...

writing? oh, i’m definitely writing. in my head. during the most inconvenient times. like in the shower or when i’m about to fall asleep. actual typing? no, no, we don’t do that here.

Some of the fruits of my previous sorting party. Some very sparkly dragons! Been in a diamond art kick, probably going to do some more today.

sharing a gofundme shared with me!

I feel like witches are sedentary and wizards are migratory. A witch has a home, a cauldron, herbs, you go to them with your problem. A wizard wanders, disappears, shows up at inconvenient times to fix nothing. am i making sense

Some super cute ghosties haunting my store <3

Last post of the year! Someone inspired me to make Mighty Nein ducks and since I'm meeting the #CriticalRole crew in April, I'll be making more. Enjoy Jester, Caleb, Nott, and Caduceus ducks. And stay tuned for an update on what's coming in the new year!

"your love is like loneliness - angsty dialogue for a dying couple

a prompt list by @novelbear

"there's someone else, isn't there?"

"so what, that's it? you're just going to walk away?"

"whatever, do what you want."

"i can't believe i wasted five years of my life on you. on this."

"i don't need this."

"when was the last time we had a proper conversation?"

"everyone is noticing..."

"you always have something to say, don't you?"

"go! see if i care!"

"aren't you tired of fighting?"

"there's no helping this."

"don't you walk away from me!"

"you hang up and it's over."

"enough with the empty threats. you're bluffing."

"i hate the person you're turning me into."

"i never have these problems with anyone else." "then go talk to everyone else! why are you still here?"

"we're not happy. look at us."

"has it ever occurred to you that maybe we're just not meant for each other?"

"you wouldn't fight for us?" "what is there to fight for?"

"i don't understand why you always have a problem with me."

"oh go to hell."

"now you care?"

"no. i got it. i'll do it myself."

This lowers your capacity for emotional regulation.

You’ll cry more easily. Get dragged into low moods more easily. Simple little things where you’re like ‘dang, that shouldn’t hit so hard,’ will wallop you.

This will trick you into thinking you’re weak and can’t handle life. A loser.

Not so my friend.

It’s a signal that you need a nap, need to allow for more sleep at night, need to prioritize and scale back on what you can accomplish in a day, need to take a mental health day or even a leave.

Something’s got to give.

But!

It’s not your self worth.

Yahaha! He needs to find his friend!

Help! He needs to find his friend!

I finally finished the Woodland Traveler pattern by @i-crochet-things! I learned so much. This is only the second amigurumi I’ve ever finished and the third crochet thing I’ve ever made.

Anyway, his name is Forklift (if you know, you know) and he enjoys piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. He is also OSHA forklift certified.
