Gorgeous painting. I've seen you post a lot of your work and I really admire your style. I don't know that I can quite put into words what it is about your style I enjoy (I'll edit if I think of it). Keep creating.

I think there's a certain brightness. Like the sun is shining bright. It gives a certain optimism.

Breastfeeding is beautiful. But because men sexualize breasts, breastfeeding becomes sexual in their minds, and according to their "morality" you can't do sexual acts in public and therefore... NSFW.

It's all about men fearing their own ability to control their penis. I say this as a dude.

Reply to Does anyone have a recommendation for a good (women’s) coat for winter weather in RVA? by [deleted]

I would actually advise not getting down - you’ll probably roast. Stores really crank up the heat here. So say you’re out running errands on a winter day - you go from warm car to brief outside walk in sunny 40 degree weather, than into a sauna store. Or if you’re longer outside, you’re usually walking, so again, you’ll be warmer. All that being said, I’ve been happiest in a fleece jacket, something like this: https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/120713?productId=1678613&attrValue_0=Arctic%20Blue&sku=1000102190&pla1=0&qs=3156271&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgIqb4e64-wIVzODICh2sbAoFEAQYASABEgItC_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Yeah, much better that someone that cares about it gets that little piece of history. I couldn't justify spending that much for a collector piece or I would be all over it. I have a knife collection, but I collect knives the same way I collect coins, which is to naturally come across something cool and add it to the collection. The only knives I have ever bought are my pocket knife, my skinning knife and my kitchen knives and that is only because they all get used and abused and I would never subject my collection knives to that.

Haha, same here! I mostly collect cooking and pocket knives, but after helping my mom with some painting she told me she found it in some old boxes her dad left her when he died and she gave it to me also not knowing what it was. I thought it was some cheap, whatever knife until I looked it up. I could probably find a better price elsewhere, but I'd rather someone who actually wants it for its history gets it first.

Any interest in these cards? I'd prefer to sell all/most of it as a lot as I don't have the patience to sell separate lots. No idea how they would rate on conditions. Many of them have been part of decks so I doubt they would rate super high. Even the ones that weren't played have been stored and moved several times over the past 20ish years. I've also got several hundred (maybe thousand?) Japanese cards from the same era, but I haven't gone through them. I also have most of the Gameboy games (Red/Blue, Gold (maybe silver), TCG and Pinball) but I am not sure if I could part with them.. Are people actually interested in them?
