Congrats, Aiden!

Also yes, I know I'm an award-nominated designer. These were done in 5 days for fun, NOT stage or screen, and two other costumes were made but not pictured. It's healing to remember how to have fun even when there are imperfections.

Starting to research next year already.

The excuses... sharing that his friend (a mother of a trans child) sent him articles explaining the issues and he still's like, "yeah, I'm still doing it." True colors....

I'm not even sure. Which is the worst part!

It's just... meh. I don't enjoy it.

NO.

I'm a huge mental health advocate, I love my husband and my cats, I'm a DC Comics nerd, especially anything Batfam and Green Lantern. "Justice League: War" is still my favorite animated DC movie because "Who the hell is Bruce Wayne?" and I like it when Superman's a jerk.

I'm pretty socially awkward and usually non-confrontational at all, but I am a petty Scorpio from NJ so I have a breaking point. People who defend piracy and laugh about it to my face when I explain real world repercussions go on that shit list immediately.

Also the pirate who claimed they had no ID... you need a SSN for SNAP/EBT as well as tax returns. You can get a library card easily with those. But if you did have "food stamps," you absolutely can have a library card...

Sorry, this is really upsetting because it's adding to the stigma.
