happy pride! here's one of my favorite scenes from If You'll Have Me, my sapphic graphic novel 🌈💕✨ (1/6)
page 51 of If You'll Have Me, starring Momo and PG. Momo is a short girl with curly brown hair, dark skin, and glasses, and PG is a tall girl with short black hair and tan skin. Momo opens the exit door of a night club, which was propped open by a rock. She turns her head to see PG in the alleyway outside, sitting on a wooden crate with her back to the brick wall. "Um... Hi," Momo says hesitantly. PG glances away with a moody expression. page 52: "You're Lea's friend, right?" PG asks suddenly. "Uh—a friend of a friend," Momo clarifies, caught off guard. "Right," PG says, with an unreadable look. There's an awkward beat of silence as Momo holds the door open, unsure of how to proceed. "So?" PG says at last. "Who did I sleep with this time?" Momo turns towards her in surprise. "E-excuse me?" page 53: "Was it an ex? A crush?" PG looks up at her with a cool glare. "If you have a problem with me...you can say it to my face." Momo steps forward in a hurry. "Oh, no. It's—I'm sorry, I just wanted to check on you because—" The panel shows a brief flashback of a blond girl in a red dress, her hand raised to strike. Momo twists her fingers anxiously. "I saw what happened back there, and... She was wearing a ring. I thought it might have..."

A year or so ago the bipolar community here contributed to some infographics I put together. I just made some updates to the “Mania for Normies” handout; more feedback is always welcome, these are living docs!

I’d love for folks to share it with anyone who could benefit 😃

🙌 thank you carry on
An infographic titled “Stages of Mania in Bipolar I–II” from “one impossible thing at a time” by Luke Steuber. It is divided into five sections, each describing a different stage of mania, accompanied by blue and yellow illustrations. 1. Euthymia (yellow background): Quote: “Is this happiness? Is my bipolar cured?” • Stable phase called “normal.” • Responsible, focused, confident. • Worries about depression, may delay tasks. • Often diagnosed as cyclothymia. Illustration: Person holding balanced scales. 2. Hypomania (blue background): Quote: “Sorry to ghost you! I swear it won’t happen again!” • Easier social interactions, active on social media. • Starts projects like writing a business plan, overspending. • Rapid profile picture changes. • Thoughts speeding up. • Considered the limit of Bipolar II. Illustration: Person raising a hand with a light bulb above, standing in front of a crowd. 3. Mania (Manic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “I’m not manic, listen, I think we can sell this.” • No need to eat, drink, or sleep. • Starts many projects impulsively. • Makes others uncomfortable. • Experiences “time dilation.” • Hypersexual, emotional, dehydrated. Illustration: Crowned figure standing above a group of smaller figures. 4. Mania (Mixed Episode) (blue background): Quote: “Maybe if I finish this one last thing I will matter.” • Energetic yet deeply sad. • Risk for substance abuse and self-harm. • Associated with creativity. • Quick but fixated thoughts. Illustration: Person surrounded by icons of droplets, flames, and hearts, representing intense emotions. 5. Psychosis (Psychotic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “No time to discuss mania; bugs in the mattress.” • Psychosis is a state, not a condition. • More common in formal thought disorders. • Most likely in Bipolar I mania. • Important to have a plan; warn emergency services if necessary. Illustration: Person with question marks over their head and bugs around them.

Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

Reminder that Disney are a bunch of rat-faced cowards.

An episode from ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’ Season 2B will reportedly not make it to air on Disney Channel due to the current political climate in the US, according to crew members.

The episode is speculated to focus on Brooklyn, a transgender character in the show.

You either die an Ernie or live long enough to see yourself become a Bert.

Things have got to change for the better.

I can't keep crashing every time I'm reminded of an old friend or crush.

Hey @bsky.app can we please please please have the ability to remove followers and to not allow follows until we approve them, now that the site is open?
Please, not having that control is dangerous and I had hoped we'd get it before this

I'm debating what to use this app/account for.

My personal life (to an extent)
My writing/creative projects.
My alter ego (I'll explain later if I choose this)
