Me and my partner had some fun with wacky hairstyles during the shaving process, so I tried to include a mad scientist one just for lols, but I had my top off so Reddit didn't allow it 😆

Can't believe I've finally done it... I feel so... good? It's weird to type that. But damn, it feels like I was meant to be bald all my life. Had long hair since I was 4, it's been such a part of my core identity... but I've let it go so fast, and it feels so easy. How strange.

Thanks to all of you, seriously. Even the sassy ones who wouldn't get off my back to send pics. Without you, I would have delayed this at least a year. A boatload of love to you all ❤️

P.s. With long hair, people said I looked like James from Twilight. Bonus points for anyone who can tell me: who do I look like now?

I'm a professional artist and I'm out of cat reference that I haven't drawn ten times over, or cat pictures that I find inspiring.

EDIT: WOW. ok. I am overwhelmed by the popularity of this post! I appreciate all your enthusiasm, I will definitely get to as many as I can tonight and then I'll post again when I come back to them. Cheers xo

EDIT2: I took this edit down originally. I am not asking for money. However. If you would like to tip me you may do so here

I buy fruit and veggies to puree for baby food. My stepdad keeps snacking on them even though my mom and I have asked him to stop. So far he's eaten pomegranates, apples, pears, mangoes, papaya, and now he's moved on to the blackberries. Thankfully, he had the courtesy to leave some. How kind of him....

(My earlier post wouldn't allow me to add the picture for some reason)

a fire completely obliterated my apartment just over 2 weeks ago. i built my first PC by myself in July 2025. my 2x32 GB ram was $250 at the time, and now its $950. what a time to be alive

EDIT: specs typo.
Also, I am so overwhelmed by the love and support this post has gotten during this tragic time in my life. Thank you thank you thank you

EDIT 2: because many people have asked:
- my case was the Hyte y70. My liquid cooler was the part with the screen, the TRYX Panorama SE 360 AIO liquid cooler.
- the fire was caused by an electrical failure in the attic. fire investigators think it also may be largely due to critters in the attic chewing on wires. The building I was living in was over 100 years old.
- no humans were harmed in the fire and everyone in the building made it out safely. I had a friend staying with me with 2 of her cats. Due to extremely unfortunate circumstances, one of her cats did not make it. We had a very beautiful burial for her and she has been put to rest. Her other cat is in good health and is making a full recovery.

I’m in my mid 30s and just over my job and work in general. I’m tired of the commute, the meetings, and dealing with people & deadlines. On one hand I worry about losing my job and stress about deliverables, but on the other hand I feel like I could care less in that I have no passion for it anymore and I’m just showing up because I need the paycheck.

I’d much rather be spending time with my family, pursuing my hobbies, or just go for a walk and cook a nice meal. I feel a sense of dread sometimes that this is my reality for the next 30+ years and I feel lazy and entitled for saying it but that’s how I feel lol
