You had me at the ‘what is the best smelling glue’ post

I drove past Penistone the other day, I giggled and pointed out the sign to my bf

I do it every time we pass by…it never gets old

This is something I need to work on, and its more apparent to me after having a conversation with my mother recently.

She said something quite unpleasant to my bf, and when I said how hurtful it was to both of us I was met with her denial, her refusal to see how hurtful it was and it was my fault for being upset, and also that I should just move on and forget about it

If she’d said that it came out wrong, or was sorry to have said something that had landed in a hurtful way etc that’s all I/we would have needed

Unfortunately i can see this attitude in myself, in the fact I find it near impossible to apologise for anything

I think my mother has a lot of her own issues around this, and I have my own ‘version’ because of my issues (my autism, and the fact that she’s my mum)

So I’m now going to do my best to rethink my behaviour and do some self reflection…

I really don’t want to be like my mother at all

I love the fact that you have a 3d printed dachshund trophy for your wife’s trophy wall

What a beautiful experience, you’ve put in words a similar experience I had, but so much better. It triggered a very happy memory and a big smile 🥰

I’ve had a few quite profound experiences, one where I saw all the patterns in the universe, a peak behind the curtain of the maths that creates all natural phenomena. And another where I dissolved and became the northern lights

I also became the mushrooms once, I was in the ground amongst the soil particles existing as the mycelium threads, then decided to grow upwards as the fruiting bodies of the mushrooms above ground

I’ve had some amazing experiences of being other things in nature

I used to have budgies, one of the males used to chat up his (male) friend whilst perched on my head… and then he’d start grinding away while still on my head

Fortunately he never left a deposit

Freaky little (head) fucker

Seconding this, sometimes you just have to sit down and draw/make even if the end result looks like shit, and even then you can rip it up, use it for collage, over paint it and make it into something else

Maybe go on a tangent? Explore colour theory? A different medium? Look at other people’s work for inspiration?

Even a crappy doodle can be the start of something new and interesting 👍

I think old people are just not equipped to survive on the internet

I think its people in general

During lock down when people were at home and having to amuse themselves some made bread and did arts and crafts, whilst others ended up jumping off a cliff into conspiracy theories and right wing bollocks

One guy I know of suggested ivermectin and dog dewormers to treat my bf’s cancer because ‘cancer is caused by parasites… there’s plenty of information on the internet… you can do your own research…etc etc’

I used to think the average person was mostly decent and sensible, but not anymore

I think I’ve got it…

Just like your painting!

I was having trouble uploading it, I’ll have a go later from my computer

They’re really pretty little frogs and look quite ‘lickable’ too

Me and the bf saw one of these today at the zoo!

I hate the fact that most (but not all fragrances) are shoehorned into male/female categories Its a smell! It doesn’t have genitalia, if you love it wear it And as a fragrance nerd I have a lot of supposedly ‘masculine’ scents full of woods, spices, booze etc A (male) truck driver mentioned that he loved wearing Chanel no5 on one of the fragrance sites which I think is fantastic! A man comfortable with himself and wearing what he loves
