"Don't smoke if your life isn't worth anything gasoline is" is absolutely unhinged (Also damn gasoline was expensive)
Imagine going to a "party" where you're pretending to be homeless having to travel to get your basic needs met complete with a cop sweep at the end? 1920s young people had too much time on their hands
"what did people do before social media? They made a giant shadow puppet of a suffragette"
Imagine. Boys night at a church and you're invited to an elaborate fake wedding where all the roles are played by boys
i have very little drawing practice but which felt like a perfect excuse to do something for #makeaterriblecomicday (a conversation between me and my gf when we were moving last year)
My yarrow has flowers! It never flowered in our apartment, it didn't have enough sun. I'm so proud of my little plant child
A patron called me "he" and that felt good because I haven't worn this shirt in years--another one of those "couldn't button around the hips" shirts that also always seemed to emphasize my chest, so it got shoved in the back of my closet
If you've ever felt like you've fucked up at work, just remember you've never put a for sale sign on the wrong property (yes we called them. Yes they promised to remove it today. No they did not)
Enjoying my hair lately. And also this shirt which was one of the first men's shirts I ever bought all the way back in like 2013 & I was so dysphoric in it bc it was too baggy in my shoulders but I couldn't button it around the hips. It keeps fitting better. Thanks testosterone & kettlebell gym
