    This is the amazing Maggot Girl.
    And she is amazing – she puts on her own make up but no one knows HOW.

  • Andrea Will Be Okay

    This came from a story related to me by a friend.
    He had not talked to her in a long time, hadn’t really even thought about her.
    He moved on years and years ago.
    And then a friend of hers came up and said, “Andrea will be okay”.
    Like he’d been laying awake all night in bed worrying all this time….
    So, just know, Andrea will be okay. ๐Ÿ˜€

  • Tiny Frog Balancing on a Flower ๐Ÿ™‚

    I was sketching a bright flower and then I thought it should be bending down with a tiny frog on it -just balancing.

  • Outdated Thoughts About Women’s Roles

    I found this excerpt in a book for 1950’s school counselors to control the teens.
    It read, “Until women acquired their present rights and freedoms, their feminine roles were well defined.”
    Let’s hear it for not defining feminine roles!

  • Girls Don’t Take Apart Trucks. Yes, We Do.

    I found this sentence in a book for school counselors to discuss puberty with boys and girls and this particular paragraph was referring to how much easier girls are than boys to discuss this with – because girls don’t do butch things like take apart trucks – I beg to differ.
