Update on the slime mold. Shout out to FartsWithAnAccent for the suggestion to film it.

Let's discuss bisexual erasure. Have you experienced it? How has it affected you?

I've experienced erasure, I prefer feminine energy regardless of gender, as such I've had my sexuality dismissed by 'friends' and colleagues with statements like "that's just straight and horny" or the other end of the spectrum: "you're gay but clinging to social pressures"

I'm in a hetero-presenting relationship which just fuels the presumption of heterosexuality. I've been celebrated for being an ally and immediately dismissed when I suggested that I'm not an ally but a member. Makes seeing myself as a member... difficult.

There's a tension in some LGBTQ communities- lesbian communities in particular (gold star).

I'm interested in your feelings/experiences with erasure.

Snapped a pic of this cutie awhile ago. Beautiful.

I have so many memories of picking blackberries, the smell of the berries filling the warm air, finding that perfect berry that is just the right sweetness. Picking blackberries with friends is something I always look forward to.

Feedback or questions are welcome.

Having fun, started as a study on eyes and turned into the rest of the face on accident. Bob-Ross'd it.

Edit- higher quality in comments. Pretty happy with most of this but there's some elements that I could improve.

Also- what's up with image upload, I had the hardest time getting this to upload, what's the trick here?

Have been struggling to motivate lately, and have not painted anything in a couple months, trying to get back into it.

Still working on loosening up.

Seriously, take a guess, I don't know since she was adopted and the agency didn't know.

Haven't painted in awhile, something loose felt light and the colors blended nicely.
