Happy Sunday, All!

Here's a photo of me, circa 1988. I was attending the Academy of Art in San Francisco. It was my Sophomore year. I was taking a photography class.

I was 19.

I was Autistic.

I wouldn't find out for another 34 years.

I was an introvert.

I was a dreamer.

I wanted to fall in love... but was always too shy to meet anyone.

I wasn't a good student.

I couldn't keep up with the teachings or my peers.

Everyone else was SO much better at art than me.

But art was all I had.

It was the only thing that made me happy.

36 years later...

I'm still Autistic.

I'm still an introvert

I'm still a dreamer.

I've found love.

And... I'm still making art.

If you love art too... please don't give up on it.

Your 55 year old self will thank you for it.

Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥

I love that we all universally as a fandom decided that the sides all live in a mind version of Thomas’ apartment together, and honestly you can pry that head-canon out of my cold dead hands.

and that we all decided remus and roman have a realm called the Imagination they can do whatever the fuck they want in- i’ve seen it used as a plot device so many times and hope it never goes away

im having feelings about the uffington white horse again

so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.

people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.

we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.

the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?

couldn’t agree more we’re best friends now

Although this is the oldest and most abstract, they’re all over the chalk hills because it’s true. Hill DOES look better with horsey

So delicate… so genteel… 💚

i learned that each woman spends approximately $5,600 on her period over her lifetime (x)

this reminded me of the reason why i bought reusable menstrual pads in the first place

im so happy with my collection

where did you get them? theyre so cute I love!

@cerenae i got them here! i recommend 10/10!

Last period was the first time I didn’t use any non reusable products!

REUSABLE???? THERE’S REUSABLE ONES?????

I love reusable ones! Using them almost a year now!

WHAT!!!!

BROOOO

WHATTT

hop aboard the reusable menses product train y’all! boss up your coochie!! all joking aside though, i’ve saved money, no more cramping or inner thigh rashes from the dioxins and other weird chemicals and (pandemic related) fewer reasons to take impromptu trips out of the house. win-win all around.

i bought their trial pack (one of each pad size + pouch) just to see how these pads are like and just a day after using, i bought a starter pack (2 liner, 3 regular,  2 overnight + pouch)

i included a photo below beside my switch for comparison of how big the xl and overnight pads are (i love using both for for nighttime use). daily, i use my regular pads and when working out/post-period, i use the liners.

honestly these are such amazing investments. i cant see myself using commercial pads ever again. they dont stink nor leak and you just have to make sure youre not wearing lace or any flimsy underwear so they’ll stay in place. i totally recommend this!

OMG WHAT THERE ARE REUSABLE ONES????

PSA I JUST SAW THEY NOW HAVE ANIMAL CROSSING PATTERNS IM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW

the amazing part is that it’s 5 LAYERS AND COMES WITH TWO BUTTONS TO SNAP TOGETHER!!

I AM SO IN LOVE!! HERE’S THE LINK IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED!!!!

PS! You bleed on the black bamboo fiber part and not on the villagers 😂

Love these. Game changing. Don’t knock it til you try it.

Requesting others reblog to spread word.

If your blog is specific niche, I ask you Like/heart to bump signal slightly.

I recently ordered from them and I love that the colourful fabrics are water proof. They are worth buying!!

I bought these because of a post I saw about them and did some research. I absolutely love them! I’m probably gonna get more soon cause I only got the trail pack, and am sick being on my period have having to do laundry right that second to have more pads ready. But absolutely 20/10!

i literally stopped having cramps after i started using them

I bought some of these a bit ago. Forever reblog.

I’ve been using the reusable pads for about three months, just about to buy more. They’re amazing!

No one told me there was REUSABLE ONES???

Excuse me NO CRAMPS??? And do these cute little patterns not get stained??

I don’t know about no cramps (I’ve heard that the chemicals in the disposable pads make cramps worse which I wouldn’t doubt but I have no experience) but mine don’t really stain! You are supposed to soak them, which is probably even better, but I just toss mine in the wash as soon as I change them (which encourages me to run a load of laundry lol, I run it with my towels and nothing weird has ever happened). I cannot recommend cloth pads enough I LOVE them.

I used these post partum with all of my kids, and I intend to buy them for my own kids when they start menstruating. I would like to add that they make diapers from the same material that will save you a fortune when you have babies, and it’s so much easier on their skin.

Standing directly in the doorway to achieve peak mental health.
