I dip string cheese in mayo as a snack. My brothers think I’m unhinged for it 🤷🏻♀️
And mismatched socks? My mom scolded me for it too, but honestly, it’s twice the fun—you get to enjoy two designs at once. How is that a bad thing?

I completely understand! It was absolutely necessary for me at one point, and it helped me so much while I was doing it.

While visiting for the holidays, my aunt’s cat has expertly trained me to use the sunlight reflecting off my phone as a makeshift laser pointer. Turns out, he’s not a fan of the real thing. 🤷🏻♀️

Weight bias is real. During a mental health crisis, I gained a lot of weight very quickly, and the difference in how I was treated during that time compared to before and after was shocking (though I guess it shouldn’t have been). I’m so sorry you had this experience—you’re not alone. 🫂

Trying to hold onto the small moments of peace after my recent cross-country move. 2024 has been tough, but scrolling through #bluesky after months of isolation has sparked some hope. It’s a different experience here, and I’m hoping it helps me grow braver.

I love this every year, but this year in particular got me through some tough times. Thank you for your art ❤️

My aunt’s Mouse, just borrowing him. He is as disappointed as I am in my choice to eat only leftover broccoli casserole for dinner tonight.
