Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

I turned 38 on Monday. The closer I get to 40, the more I strive not to give a shit about what others project onto me. I won't waste my time justifying myself to people who either hate me or don't care about me. 🙅‍♀️

Man, it's 2026, and we still haven't solved World Hunger, wars, droughts, universal unity, what the hell is in the abyss, and deeper than that. Instead of working together, we hurt each other, kill each other, think we're above others... It sure is lame to be human right now.

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

I've been to Lake Como Comic Art Festival, and honestly, I have felt like myself again. It was so incredible. I probably cried more than I have fingers in one hand. I also debuted a pink wig ( from the Ginghair), and I had so many compliments. My heart is full. I love comics. Back to working hard!

It's always funny to me to see how many people want me to fail when I go (back) to the gym. Until 2025, I would listen to them and drop the gym after a few months. 2025 saw a fresh new me who now has turned the table on them. I love the Gym now and they can kiss my ass if they want me to give up!

Narcissist parents exhibit #140938984932084298: My mother crocodile-teared when she learned I would not let her plan my wedding. She claimed I was rejecting her because I am childfree and plan to keep it that way, she does not know where I live, and I put some distance between us to protect myself.

I have finally reached the point where I enjoy going to the gym and stick to my new dietary habit. The first couple of months were difficult because I had cravings, but for each night craving something, there was a day I picked where I would cook or bake it instead.

Hey I am going to be honest with you, social media algorithms have completely destroyed my source of income. If you have platform recommendations for TTRPG / Cover art or gamedev gigs, please let me know 💕 You can also share the quoted post, thank you 🌱

So, my dad, the eternal victim, is a narcissistic scumbag. This is nothing new. He cheated on his first wife, kept his mistress, met my mom, and had a child with the mistress somewhere between the moment my twin and I were born and my little sister. And he is here crying like he's been wronged.

Maybe I should start telling some of my dreams. lol When I was a teen, I had a nightmare where I was hunted down by a witch. Every time I tried to tell others, I threw up insects and danced the Macarena. She caught up to me, but I woke up before she killed me.
