You body dysmorphia doesn't come from your body fat, your height, your muscle growth, nor how loose or tight your skin is. Nor the teeth in your mouth, nor the hairs on your head. It comes from people who should have loved you better saying that you're can't be good enough just the way you are.

Might start posting shirtless and nudes at some point because I fucking hate how I look and always have, but other people in every size and shape hate how they look too and none of us should have to feel this way. Body dysmorphia robs you of the one thing you should always be able to love. Yourself.

In other news, anyone else seeing black eyed people lately? No exaggerations, my friend took me to a gas station for a quick coffee, and I made it back to the car first. But while sitting there waiting I saw a man walking toward the store. I don't know why I felt like I needed to see his face. -1/3

Witches & magic users (esp. those where the temps are freezing or below), you can do a freezer/trample-on spell on anyone. Take an image, or write the name of a person on a piece of paper, and prepare it any baneful way you see fit. Then wet it, and lay it face down on a freezing, busy sidewalk.

What is a conspiracy theory that you think has real merit?
That this administration is going to start offing its own ice agents and claim protesters did it, so Cheeto supreme can use the insurrection act.

I wasn't happy with the idea of painting a face. New plan is a layered painted paper body. The pic is a digital body edit of me juxtaposed onto my canvas pic as proof of concept, with some white added and color editing (orig canvas next to it). Not sure how it'll look finished, but not hating this.

I couldn't get part two of my series out of my head. Every time I sat to write other things would come out. But, not that. So, I will just have to write it when it's ready to hatch. Hoping it's soon.

I'd really like to change "This not who we are" to "this is how we need to stop being who we are."

A 40-? year old husband who loves giving oral and a first trip to Twin Ponds lodge would heal me...but also a Canadian citizenship that doesn't need proof of being related to someone, about 7 million dollars, and the deed to a cat cafe.

Need to get my mind off of imminent demise. And if we can learn anything from everything that's happening is that life is too short to continue paying rent at Insecurity Village. So posting crappy phone, fat guy in compression pants bulge because I need to feel good about something for a minute.

Mainers, MaineCare does not send reps door to door. They send letters. If someone shows up claiming to be from MaineCare (or any other group/business that would not normally be at your door), they are very likely ICE. Do not open the door. Do not respond to them. Do not indicate that you are home.

Frak-I didn't realize I last wrote more than a week ago.
I'll try to write a part 2 for 'When You Haven't Got A Chanse' sometime either today or Sunday. But reserving the right to not guarantee that. Hard to write when I'm scared I'm going to be murdered for not responding to ss thugs fast enough.

Meltdowns and emotion flashbacks keeping me up. Not good. Gods, I wish I had some brandy. Not for sleep or anything. I could just use a drink (just one; I never really got into drinking much, but it's a nice change now and then).

So, I've been trying to keep it together, but on New Year's my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her treatment starts this week. She tells me she has insurance but since the year rolled over she has to pay a max out of pocket. Anything would help, please share if you can.

There was a confirmed ice sighting yesterday. Two vehicles driving past a home just a few streets from where I live. I haven't seen ice activity yet, but it's just a matter of time. Sleep last night was anxious, at best.
My cat who never kisses gave my arm two kisses today, tho. So, that was nice.

I don't know if anyone needs this information, but some Dollar Tree stores currently carry football whistles. They aren't top of the line, but they should work well enough to help warn people about specific icy conditions.

So...ICE is coming to my city of Lewiston ME in about a week or less. I dont know if they will be on my street or not. I'm not directly downtown, but I'm not all that far from it either, and it's a main one-way road. Trying to figure out how to keep my cat out of the window so they don't shoot him.
