Guys, I was warned about mixing liquor and beer. Nobody told me that it was bad to have a vanilla martini, 3 tacos, some fries, a seven layer bar and a chai tea latte with a shot of espresso...im gonna barf. Nausea aside, I had a fantastic birthday with my favorite person in the whole earth. ❤ thank you https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmp7qpWO4QN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you so so so so much 🖤 Another DHSN live stream for the books! Despite all of the technical difficulties, you far surpassed my expectations once again. And honestly, I dont think I would have continued doing this if it hadnt gone well. I have been working day and night to get everything together for you guys and it was incredible! Thank you again so much. I'm still going to keep working diligently but at a more relaxed pace so I dont completely burn out before the end of the year. And apparently instagram only likes reels now, so I'm gonna have to cave in to doing that soon. Anyway, I'm rambling. Thank you thank you thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/ClwaOykO9cS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sex workers deserve the same legal protections as anybody else. They should be able to maintain their livelihood without fear of violence or arrest, access health care and other services without discrimination, and seek justice when they are harmed. Decriminalization would help bring sex workers out of the dangerous margins and into the light where people are protected — not targeted — by the law. The ACLU’s Research Brief, “Is Sex Work Decriminalization the Answer? What the Research Tells Us,” reviews existing empirical research on the impacts of decriminalization — and conversely criminalization — of sex work to inform recommendations for policy and practice.

Make a lil krampus with me at @wolfbaitchicago on December 10th! Or tag someone who might be interested so I'm not stuck talking to myself, drunk and making Krampus ornaments alone while the staff reconsiders why they even allowed me to enter their establishment in the first place.

Requests for smiles may seem harmless to some, but they’re often considered to be in line with catcalling, unwelcome gestures and other kinds of harassment, says Kimberly Fairchild, an associate professor of psychology at Manhattan College who researches street harassment. In the worst cases, commands to smile can escalate into scarier situations. But even when a command to smile is just that, Fairchild says there can be a “cumulative effect” if it happens often, as it can in urban areas. “Those things can accumulate in terms of more self-objectification. They can accumulate in terms of making women feel uncomfortable and unsafe being out in public places.” Source Maloy, A. (2021, May 22). Masks are off - which means men will start telling women to 'smile!' again.

December 14, 2021 — Researchers at The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people, today published a new peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Adolescent Health that found gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is significantly related to lower rates of depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts among transgender and nonbinary youth. These findings underscore the need to expand access to best-practice, gender-affirming medical care, as is currently prescribed by doctors across the country and recommended by the major medical and mental health associations. If you or someone you know needs help or support, The Trevor Project’s trained crisis counselors are available 24/7 at 1-866-488-7386, via chat at TheTrevorProject.org/Get-Help, or by texting START to 678678.  Source Weaver, B., & Weaver, J.

Join the Darling Homebody Society before December 1st to get Lil’ Krampus in your mailbox. Link in bio. Thought to be appropriated from pagans by christians and originating from either Bavaria or Germany. Krampus is a cute lil devil guy who is out to teach bad kids a valuable lesson by putting them in his adorable basket so that he can either drown them, eat them or bring them to hell (depending on who you ask). A thankless job if you ask me. In all seriousness, if you love horror and you love the holiday season I highly recommend watching the movie Krampus from 2015. It’s easily one of my favorite movies. Its got comedy, its got family, its got a disgusting jack in the box monster which I hate/love, its got a portal to hell and the most important of all its got holiday *magic*. Awe how wholesome. Shout out to Louise (James’ sister) for playing it in the background while we opened presents and unknowingly introducing me to this gem. #krampus #krampusmovie #darlinghomebodysociety #darlinghomebody #cryptid #holidayhorror #christmashorror #krampusnacht #cutecryptid #cryptidcore #cryptidart #chicagoartist #letitsnow #snowflake #sleighbells https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckll3NvuFDn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In production! Hopefully I get them in time for the next Darling Homebody Shopping Network event. If not, I'll at least have them available for preorder. So this is a mockup photo for enamel pins. They'll have white glitter enamel with rainbow metal and a raised back stamp. They wont be literally rainbow like in the photos, they will look more like the black enamel ones that ive tagged. I also reverted back to the original design because I just like it better, its a lot cleaner and less busy looking. Anyway, get pumped and the release date for the next DHSN will be anounced soon. . . #darlinghomebody #rainbow #magicalgirl #magicalboy #magicalthey #nonbinary #sailormoon #sailorscout #rainbowenamelpin #glitterenamelpin #kawaii #decora https://www.instagram.com/p/CkTZEZjuxll/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Part 1 of 2 testing out an LED base for the translucent mini figures. Let me know what you think! Maybe I'll get out the camera to get better footage instead of using my phone.

Sign up before November 1st!  Meet Marmalade and her adorable farmers market stall, selling Jams ‘n Such. Using what she grows in the community garden, she makes all kinds of seasonal homemade jams. Her personal favorite is tomato jam, hands down. Slather it on a grilled cheese sandwich and she’s in heaven. Just don’t tell her that its basically bland salsa because that is a hill she is willing to die on, “there’s a difference okay?!”  Inspired by @yaboi_toby_toad (second photo) . . #toad #jamsnsuch #frog #farmersmarket #tomatojam #homemadejam #froggo #frogsofinstagram #toadsofinstagram #frogart #frogsticker #chibi #kawaii #chicagoartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CjLY8JHuBte/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
