Rough week although relieved to finally start on the abusive ex trauma in EMDR today! Woo!

You think your art is amateur, your prose awkward, your dialogue stilted. Your lines scratchy, your colors weak. I don't. Because I don't know the difference. All your mistakes are purposeful style choices to me. All your weaknesses quirks of your personality. I love your art.

"Humane meat" tho! #AnimalRights #Vegan #AnimalCruelty @peta.org #Carnivore

Feeling poorly please send healing thoughts and vibes and prayers my way thanks 🙏

Tonight I made a big load of #vegan sausage & veg casserole with yellow tomatoes - used smoked paprika and it’s spicey! 🥵 😋

Feeling poorly so in bed with pumpkin 🎃 spice coffee ☕️ , vegan donuts 🍩 & playing LOZ skyward sword on switch

I got an Amazon free gift of a game stick with my projector and I’m amazed it’s got so many games from my childhood - nostalgia hit hard!

I say I’m pansexual as I prefer the flag colours 😂 but going by the specific description of sexualities I actually would say I’m omni as I’m not gender blind. vm.tiktok.com/ZNdpDf1dJ/

Sometimes we will dump. It happens and it’s okay to name it. Apologise for the spill, tend to impact, and get support to process the rest. Then keep practising authentic sharing. Skill grows with safety.

Many of us were never taught the difference. We weren’t allowed to be authentic. No safe place for trauma. No models for sharing without shame. When unmasking starts, it blurs. Sometimes the first time we tell the truth, it spills out.

Display of emotion is not trauma dumping. Crying is not dumping. Shaking is not dumping. You can be messy and still be within consent, containment, and context. Authenticity invites connection. Dumping demands holding that wasn’t agreed.

Three checks before sharing. Consent - have people agreed to hold this. Containment - are you sharing from reflection, not collapse. Context - is this the right space, and will there be mutuality. If not, pause or choose a different container.

Trauma dumping is different. It’s offloading raw, intense, unresolved pain onto others without consent, without containment, without context. Often a dysregulated bid to be seen. It can overwhelm people, destabilise spaces, and replicate harm.

There is a difference between speaking honestly and trauma dumping. Authenticity is showing up as your whole self. Telling the truth about how you feel, what you’ve lived, what you need. Authenticity is relational. It builds connection. It doesn’t bypass boundaries. A thread 🧵

Re-evaluating my gender identify, therapy seems to be helping accept myself more as I am now in the body I have… I’m actually WANTING to feel and be more in my feminine energy and expression now.

Our feature tutorial/artist today is this page of notes on how FINGER MOVEMENTS connect, by the talented @kato_anatomy - showing how moving ONE will affect the OTHERS, often DRAWING THEM IN, or PULLING THEM DOWN. Understanding this INTERCONNECTION will improve your HAND POSES!

In the garden 🪴 today 🐈‍⬛

Self identifying as autistic is valid. Stop gatekeeping people and get out of your privileged bubble.

I love 🥰 my projector 📽️ it’s awesome 🤩

I’ll be your idol 🐺🌑

Watching the original Star Trek series which I’ve never actually properly watched before! I became a fan with TNG in the 90’s although I do recall seeing the movies that came before hand.

It’s natural to want connection, but friendships form online just like they do in real life - some people click, some don’t. Nobody (incl. me) is owed replies or attention. We all have jobs, families, lives, and sometimes friends respond to others first. That doesn’t mean it’s personal or “cliquey.”

Well I felt a bit better this morning but then felt worse again and then slept for hours. Le sigh. 😮‍💨 Tomorrow I start the core thread of my trauma in EMDR.

The Sanctuary: Origins is where it all begins… read for 🆓 on comic fury thesanctuaryorigins.thecomicseries.com

Jarod… a vampire made by a past life incarnation of Darkfire who finds her again when Bex finds themselves on Ilea…

Mentally struggling a little with my art / comic stuff … feeling a bit in my wounded / sorry for myself mode I think because of therapy dredging up stuff to be processed and highlighting my abandonment issues and low self worth… ick.

Neuro-physio tomorrow, I start my active sessions. Kinda nervous to see if it’ll help, but hopeful ish and wanting to do the work!

EMDR was interesting today, just a light beginner session but oh boy my brains reeling from it!!!

For those at the back... Allyship is listening, not lecturing. It's learning, not instructing. It's not the friends you have, or the t-shirt you wear, or the meme you share. It's not thinking you know best, but understanding you need to know more. Simply proclaiming allyship isn't enough.

If you excuse or ignore a friend’s harmful behavior for the sake of "loyalty,” you’re enabling abuse. Coercive control, manipulation, and narcissistic abuse thrive when silence shields them. Loyalty shouldn’t come at the cost of someone else’s safety.

Fuuuuck I can’t sleep because of meds I’m on … gonna go eat as sometimes that helps me sleep. That or give me indigestion.

Finally leveled up enough to play War Within expansion on Warcraft …

I love this I totes geeked out!

💄💋 The next page of The Sanctuary: Dark Mirror is up to read now on Comic Fury thesanctuarydarkmirror.thecomicseries.com/comics/#cont...

Some autistic people don't speak, some speak a lot. Some stim, some don't. Some avoid eye contact, some don't. Autism isn’t just one story. It’s a library full of wonderful people.

It’s sooooo cool! 😎 I love it! 🧇

Well I got the screen, just have to wait until it’s dark now 😂

Fuck off with your gen AI shite

New mug 👻 from B&M 😍

Excited for my projector 📽️ screen 📺 to turn up today to watch films in the garden, snuggled up in a blanket on a lounge chair with a hot cocoa topped with marshmallows. Vegan ofc.

I may have bought a projector and screen for watching movies in the garden … after two out of 3 recent cinema experiences I ended up not feeling well during the movie I decided to save money and travelling by setting up my own cinema experience. Plus I can enjoy the movies I want in my own time.
