Hey there! Thanks for taking this over, I've not been able to post much recently but really glad this community is here. I love sharing knitting patterns and tips.

I'm not a huge fan of self promotion posts really, but there is that blurred line where someone is sharing their own WIP/FO from their own design, etc. What about if we have a self promote day a week? Would something like that work?

Lol thank you :)

No I've not seen that I'll check it out!

The bury your gays trope does seem to be dying out now and there are more and more positive/normal representations but you can still catch it. Brokeback Mountain was a classic example of it, but that's quite old now.

Have you heard of the bury your gays trope? It's a pretty common theme with queer characters dying but it's getting better.

Moiras accent is amazing. Goals for sure.

You're right, the representation is so positive and not through the lens of trauma or grief so it's much more real in some ways. Not saying lgbt people don't have trauma but there's other parts of them too!

The current status is that he's really active on lemmy still and will sometimes pop in on these type of posts and answer your questions.

He did do a follow up about how to take a poop when you haven't for three days lol. So he clearly had trouble getting started again but I think he's well now.

Did the cat have to sign with their paw? Please say yes even if it isn't true

Is this real? It's too cute to be real isn't it?

[–] Speckle 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh MrFagtron9000 it does bring up some feels doesn't it?

I just discovered Schitts Creek the other week and had no idea how gay that was. I've not cried like that in years! Have you seen it?

[–] Speckle 3 points 1 year ago

Indeed! I left it on too long perhaps, but the skin there is softer than on legs and arms anyway. I was supposed to scrub off the cream with this sponge and my skin started coming off too 🤮

This was really unhelpful

Thank you for another great update. Can't wait to see how this app ends up 😁

I asked for Mr Peanutbutter doing a photo shoot for Dior and got some cute results, inspired by the other user and their dog pictures.

I found this one where he has full on hands a bit disturbing

Some bonus variations

One, two

 

I've read that uploading all your images/gifs/videos to lemmy will cause big server costs down the line.

I wanted to do my part in keeping the costs low so which site or app or whatever do people recommend to upload your media to for linking in posts? I've tried imgur and I'm not really a fan
