In my 37 years, I’ve had many hobbies. Before there was cosplay, there was piano, violin, writing short stories, girl scouts, soccer, ballet and tap. After picking up cosplay in high school, …

AI bros: If AI disappeared tomorrow, how would you get any shit done?! It'd be impossible! Dumb. Ridiculous. But replace "AI" with "bidets" and that confusion and frustration would be 100% justified.

Wtf @gamesdonequick.com it is 10:30 in the morning and you're about to make me cry with that segment about the board game room! 😭💙 So wholesome and heartwarming! One day I'll get to experience it myself. Attending irl has become a goal for me since "attending" virtually since SGDQ 2014.

"Sign of the Times" is stuck in my head because of Project Hail Mary but Harry Styles and Phil Collins (via Tarzan) are fighting for melody supremacy for the phrase "stop your crying / it'll be alright"

Update: It actually wasn't that bad. Brain just likes to catastrophize. False alarm.

happy pride month

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

Happy Pride! Remember why we have it.

Black lives matter. No human being is illegal. Abolish the police. Happy Pride.🧱

PRIDE MOTH Made with permission using @/Vespidcreates amazing mothman cosplay

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Gay

happy *quiet, chill* pride

Reminder to be inclusive this Pride (and all the damn time) by adding alt text to your images!

WHAT DAY IS IT

Happy "Every Minor Inconvenience Will Be Dubbed Homophobia" Month to all who celebrate 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

The last 5 months in the pole/burlesque community has done more wonders for my self esteem than the 15+ years I've spent in the cosplay community. Prob bc I'm embracing what *I* look like vs trying to look like someone else. There's a blog post in there somewhere but I have no spoons to draft it.
