It's my literal Christmas tree this year, too

Thank you! I think the only difference is that I've never had any plastic surgery. Grew it all myself 🤣

Just gonna throw this here cause he's too cute

Thank you! I prefer the design side of cosplay, so when I can get creative, I go all out 😅 Maybe too far out

Thank you! It means a lot to read this!

Thank you so much! As for comfort... it's a literal pain. My hips were COVERED in bruises from holding up the 35lbs of skirt for several hours and multiple days of shooting.

Haha yes it was. I obviously won't post it in this subreddit, but I make Burlesque costumes and content, so this is designed and stitched in a very particular way. I want to make incredible costumes, but learned quickly that people rarely support cosplayers without an adult twist.

Thank you. Cosplay boudoir/burlesque has been my full time job for the last 7 years, so I do design stuff to showcase that side. The bra is separate from the corset on purpose.

Idk if I'm allowed to link to my Instagram, but it's @ShelbyEileenCosplay

It doesn't, luckily. I designed and made an underskirt to protect me. And there's a pvc insulation noodle on top of the chicken wire cage skirt, so the metal didn't cut into me.

His name is Avalanche and he has Resting-Concerned-Face

I got the stuff last January and worked on it for just under a year 😊

I started it last year, but my goal was to finish it for my Patreon, as the holiday set. So basically, just for a few subscribers and social media 😅

He is a medical alert dog for my seizures, so he's all too familiar with my costumes and wearing costumes I make for him.

You made me smile. Thank you!

If you zoom in on the photo on the right, you'll see the star 😊

Most are specially bred to produce specific styles of fresh produce, like bananas, but this was the first company I'd heard of that removed the ability to propagate. (Aside from seedless stuff like watermelon/grapes) You can go to Japan and get one of the hundred dollar strawberries and you could technically keep the seeds. Lettuce, onion, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, berries, bananas, ginger, potatoes, corn; almost everything can grow from leftover cooking scraps. Plants are resilient.

Chopping the top off, is capitalism at its worst. I can understand not allowing another company to sell the genetically modified produce, but cutting off the top lowers the shelf life and makes it impossible to re-grow. It's pure greed... especially when it can take 3+ years for a pineapple to produce more fruit.

This is already happening. There's a company who copyrighted a breed of pineapple. They charge $400 for said pineapple and the company intentionally chops the top completely off, so that it cannot be propagated. Normally, you can take the green part of a pineapple, put it in the ground, and a few years later you'll have a new pineapple. It's ridiculous.

Woot! I've been poor all my life, so I have experience gardening and foraging. I know the difference between poison hemlock and wild carrot, I can identify herbs that can heal, I know how to choose the best trees for food from syrup to bark bread, and I know which fruits and veggies grow best in which area

I'm also a mortician, so went through 4 years of INTENSE medical education, fighting against the students trying to become doctors. (I hate bell curves) I can cleanly dissect a body, know about ailments/diseases/biohazards, I'm not afraid of blood or wounds, can stitch up lacerations, and know which parts of the body to hit and bring an enemy down... probably should have led with that

We took a trip to Chicago and decided to go to Navy Pier. Traffic was basically gridlocked and the car behind us was not happy that my friend didn't break the law and block an intersection. After the light turned green, the idiot took his massive, shiny, brand new, white pickup truck onto the SIDEWALK to cut in front of us.

When we got to the parking garage, there was a HUGE sign saying the clearance was 6ft 3in and tall vehicles needed to go to a different garage. The idiot didn't read it and, even with the windows shut, we heard the screeching and scraping of his roof on the top of the structure.

The best part was watching him back out, hearing more scraping, seeing his surprised pikachu face, and the disappointment on the face of the woman in the passenger seat.

Don't forget that Medicaid and Social Security Disability still have the same $2,000 MAX asset limit (aside from a car and low-value residence). Back in 1974, that was a down payment on a house. Now that isn't enough to rent a place to live, not enough to fix a car, and if you somehow have more than $2k in assets,( (DHS does bank and tax monitoring) they take your medical and food away, despite being disabled. If adjusted for inflation, it would be about $13k. Enough to put a down payment on a small house. A 2k limit enough for people with disabilities is BARBARIC.

I've written to so many politicians about this archaic rule and Lisa McClain told me that it's that low, so that only the truly destitute use it... despite us paying taxes all our lives to protect us from starving. I was told that the disabled weren't as important as older voters who deserve retirement disability.
