Aw, I love this.

I've always really liked my hair - I actually never got teased as a kid in the 90s. I only noticed it as I got older and the "ginger" thing came to North America (I think via southpark in the mid-2000s?) and it became really funny for people to tease redheads.

Mine is toastpost! I'm still exchanging letters with one of my original matches every six months or so and it's so nice.

I'm following you all (I'd rather not post my real name here) just so you know who the random redhead following you is!

Yah. My sibling is going to compete, and he and his partner are really ready for kids, and I think is a little devastated by the possibility that they'll have to wait. It's so heartbreaking from that perspective - you give up your whole life for something (for 8 years, in his case) and then you realize you have this horrible risk as soon as that dream comes true.

Right? And it feels especially hurtful somehow coming from a lesbian - like yah, straight people are probably gonna be biphobic but I somehow expected better from someone who has experienced the utter shittiness of homophobia and doubt firsthand.

IKEA has some great art, actually! Or nice-to-look-at art, at least. I also am a fan of just wandering around my parents' and grandparents' houses and adopting unloved photos/art/empty frames.

Oh, I feel like you're overthinking it! My read of that (and knowing my mom has done the same thing to my brother) is just that she likes you and wants you to be part of the family (even more than you already are).
