I once again come to the conclusion that I'm not made for social media 🙃
It was like that back when Twitter was still twitter, and now it's the same with bluesky. No matter how much I curate my feed/timeline with uplifting things. But sooner or later I end up doomscrolling and feeling bad.

Time to limit my lurking presence even more. Those who know where to find me will find me elsewhere ❤️

reminds me of a conversation I had with my father when I was a child, and struggling to draw a hand. He said to just do four. I said that's wrong. He drew me a comic figure with four fingers and one with five. The 4-finger version indeed looked better, bc it matched the rest of his cartoonish style.

Happy October. A punk and a cheerleader, a skeleton and an Angel 🎃 #originalcharacters

my characters Caro and Sully kissing in their halloween costumes. Caro is presenting femme and wearing a frilly white dress and wings and pink socks. She has on Sully's black leather jacket with spikes and patches. Her hair is big a floofy and she has on a halo thats actually mostly over sullys head. He's wearing all black with a skull painted face and skeleton painted on his clothes and chunk boots. His hands are behind his back and hes leaning at a 90 degree angle because caro is pulling him down into the kiss.

I know I talk a lot, but deep down, feel like I don't have a lot to offer.

but i wanna share this because the thing my therapist told me regarding my art, really did save me. so i share it in the hopes it helps someone else like it did me.

screenshot that reads:
I realized I was putting my art down before anyone else could so that it'd help dampen the blow if I was made fun of. I also realized I did this because there HAD been a point where I was confident in what I was doing, but discovered through my then spouse, that people in my community I had looked up to were posting my art and making fun of it. This...wounded me. Wounded me but I...agreed but also had friends who vehemently backed me up. One of the things being torn apart was a pose. My friend recreated IRL and even went and defended me. It still wasn't enough for the bloodlust of those wanting to punch down on those they felt below them.

the problem is/was, I knew/know I am. Yeah, I still dog on myself, but I keep it to myself and use it as fuel in my fire to get better. but now i don't do it for them, I do it for me. I do it for what -I- want.

but.

there had been a moment in time where I let it get to me. I'd post art and say "haha, sorry this sucks" or "this was a quickie, i know it's bad."

the thing is, knowing what I know now, people don't often see that as a defense mechanism and they certainly don't know how to respond to it with anything other than taking it to be a guilt trip. Like I was fishing for compliments, and boy, that really pisses people off if you're trying to passive aggressively get them to care. They see it as manipulation if it's presented in a certain way and in reality, it WAS. I was trying to get someone to go "nooo! this isn't bad! it's good!" because on my end, imposter syndrome, the anxiety voices, my self esteem, everything screamed at me to never post it. it wasn't good enough. it'd get torn apart.

but so what?

screenshot that reads:
so what?

that's not rhetorical. Literally ask yourself what your art/writing/whatever means to you? why do YOU share it?

I share it because even if -ONE- person likes it, it's worth sharing and you know what? I count as one person. If I don't love it, then what am I doing it for? Learning to love what I do because others love it didn't teach me anything cause others love it for their own reasons.

why do -I- love it?

Plus, I will pass on to y'all what my therapist as hammered into my head, that your brain not just creates thoughts, it listens to them. If you are letting the automatic negative thoughts affect how you FEEL, your brain will consider that and keep doing the things that make it harder for you to do it because it HURTS you and seriously.

i'm dead serious.

your rational, conscious, part of your brain DOESN'T want you to hurt. but it only knows what it knows.

so consider, if you're hard on yourself, is it because you've only known "tough love" from others? have you only ever been given the "cold hard truth" in order to "encourage" you or in most cases, sway you from something the OTHER person deems worthless?

If yes, then you not only DESERVE the kindness and consideration afforded to you, you owe it to yourself to GIVE yourself that which you've always wanted/needed, but waited for others to give it to you.

you don't need permission to be happy with yourself, your craft, your life. you CAN be happy and it hurts no one and it's free. this is the TRUE meaning of not having to struggle to make it "worth" it. if there's ever a moment where you don't HAVE to struggle and you can give that to yourself, DO IT.

People need to be reminded that a joke is supposed to make the recipient laugh as well. This is way too fucked up and mean-spirit to qualify as a joke.

This was before dickpics counted a sexual harassment, so she could not countersue at that time.

Diluculi @diluculi.bsky.social · Sep 10

Sadly, I saw enough reports about cases where this happened. A tv moderator in my country showed a selection of the dickpics she received on air to illustrate the problem of harassment, and afterwards got hit with several "violations of privacy" lawsuits. Idk what she did next, probably settled

Possibly. A reverse image search shows a similar image credited as Karl Wellert: Die rollende Kugel:

German native speaker here: your software is correct, the article has nothing to do with any movie, it's about gambling.
It's not uncommon for magazines to use pictures from movies to illustrate the article, similar to modern day stock image usage (or AI if they are really cheap).

Diluculi @diluculi.bsky.social · Sep 9

Probably for legal reasons, so they cannot sue the guy who filmed the incident for violating their privacy. The bitter irony
