🎵god, turn me into a flower.. 🌷

there was this great meme I saw not too long along the lines of: "15 year old you would think the current you is so cool and so hot, etc" and let me tell you yes to all of that but also the 15 year old version of myself would be so impressed with my manga collection and what I'm now reading! YES!😍

The gentlest of reminders: you are one of God’s favorites if you have a tailor/seamstress/person who does alterations in your area you can help you transform and fix your clothes!

Let's be clear, when mayors say they want to ban masks for "safety", they couldn't care less about public safety. What the mean is they want to see faces for surveillance purposes. They care about criminalizing your right to protest not your health or safety.

Comics are for everyone. Not “every comic is for everyone.” More like “there is a comic for everyone.” And also “every comic is for someone.” What else can I overthink for you?
