>> I'm glad I spoke up too, it is something I'm aiming to get better at especially online. <<
That's good to hear.
>> With icons I'd more than likely be making ones with general achievements rather than fandom specific at the I'm not too sure when it'll be because my mojo for icons seems to have disappeared. <<
No problem. Everything is welcome, and there's no pressure.
>> Part of why I struggled with it the first time was that I was trying too hard to make a single line in one attempt and thinking that way stifled my creative process. Since I started using my old prompts, I've found it easier to work on one square at a time and not think about making a line. <<
My mistake was waiting too long to request a new card, trying for blackout. Since I've learned more about how to use bingo cards with my existing projects, now I ask for a new one after I've made one bingo or the card is filling up ... which usually happens around the same time. I don't always try to fill a line; more often I just write fills as I get inspired and so I wind up with lots of random squares until a bingo happens.

I hope the extra links have helped. I find Arial easiest to read, although I do like some of the new dyslexic fonts and I am keeping an eye on that category.
>> Self Injury Awareness Day is the 1st of March, LifeSigns do a lot of work to raise awareness, end stigma and educate people about it. My articles are here and here. <<
Thanks! I have written that down so I can watch for news then. I appreciated reading your posts.
As for stigma, I'm pretty sure that shaming people never helps solve their problems, and that adding insult to injury is just vicious.
