This is really my first time ever posting my “art” after some struggles with imposter syndrome.

Last month I had a nice little inpatient stay after “an attempt” and honestly hadn’t touched any of my art supplies (or really anything in my studio) for months so it actually felt nice to get outside again, get messy slinging paint, and just breathe some fresh air (well, aside from spray paint 😂) I had to force myself to do this but I’m glad I did.

I have no idea what I was trying to accomplish as I didn’t think it through before I started (on purpose), but looking back on it I like to think the spots of black symbolize my depression always trying to creep in, yet also maintaining my colorful and expressive personality😊 I refuse to give in now that I’m finally getting some color back in my life.

Years ago I worked as a janitor for a public high school when the school board decided to “censor” a lot of their literature 🤦🏻‍♂️ They did add a Bible class so I guess they balanced it out 🤢 We were tasked with going through EVERY English/Lit class and the library and throwing out the books that were on the list. I tried to save what I could (which is why I have multiples of some) and this is only maybe 50% of what we threw out. As a book lover I was heartbroken!! I also gave away a bunch of them. I had my car LOADED by the end of my shift. I live in a small conservative town in the south so I was honestly shocked that I didn’t get in trouble for “stealing” but they were going to the dump soooo 🤷🏻‍♂️

Granted, there are a few of my own that were mixed in too (ie The Exorcist & Hunger Games 😂) but MOST pictured are from the school.

Hello you beautiful creatures!! I hope you’re having a fabulously amazing day because you deserve it!!! Honestly, I’ve been struggling mentally/emotionally but fashion is one of my outlets so I always feel a little better when I look pretty 😂

Remember, you are stronger than you realize & more capable than you know. Today may suck but tomorrow is a new day. The storm doesnt last forever friends. Love y’all!!

For those who don’t know me, HI! I’m a queer hippie exchristian farmer living in the Bible Belt of rural Tennessee 😊Just here to spread some positivity & kindness while showing off my fun wardrobe! 💜

Yup, I literally bought it back even though I made the damn thing! I made it big enough that it could be used as she grew and figured she’d outgrow it within five years, but she didn’t even keep it for a full year and she KNEW I made it. I made sure it wasn’t too big or heavy for an infant though. I literally looked up measurements and weight suggestions to make sure.

Although, she’s never been sentimental and gets rid of tons of stuff that she’s been given. It took me months to make this bc I was still learning and slow but thought it would be an item she could appreciate. Guess not 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

For context, I’m a queer hippie non-binary ex-Christian farmer living in the south so I kinda get the best of both worlds!! I was gonna post the actual video then realized I couldn’t lol. It was just a generic transition video so I took screenshots instead 😊 Love y’all!!!!!

This was the book that got me into Koontz so maybe that’s why it’s my favorite 😊 I now own a HUGE collection of DK paperbacks but there are a few I haven’t read even though I’m sure they’re great. Watchers is one of those. I recently saw a few “top ten” lists for him and Watchers seemed to be in the top two or three or multiple lists so I thought I’d check it out. Just started it about a week ago but haven’t had time much to get into it. I live on a farm so there’s always lots to do! lol.

What did you think about Phantoms?

I saw this kept popping up a few years back as “recommended” so I finally watched it and I think I’ve seen it maybe four times now 😂

As a queer person, it always makes me roll my eyes at how the “stereotypical” characters are killed off first. Normally because of their own stupidity/lack of common sense. “Let’s split up”, “let’s go investigate the dark basement”, “let me go check out that noise alone w/o a weapon”, etc. Whether it’s the typical stoner, the big boob blonde, the black character, or (rarely even included until recent years) the gay character. Something about this movie just had me cheering for each of them as they fought back!!

The way they wrapped up the horror element with the comedy aspect of it was genius in my opinion. It was scary, but still funny as hell in parts.

I mostly wanted this to be a general discussion, but did use the Spoilers tag just in case so read the comments at your own discretion, but also be mindful that some here may not have seen it yet 😊

What did you think of this film?
