I'm PushingUpRoses: spooky woman, mental health advocate, and professional abstract artist. I have a channel where I talk about pop culture - emphasis on retro media, horror, and murder mystery:
You can view my art here:

Was watching some tattoo TikToks, and a heavily tattoo’d woman just said “You know why conservative men don’t like women with tattoos? Because they know they aren’t minors.”
And…. ooo girl. (continued)
My landlord just tried to convince me that damage that has been on my floor since I moved here is my cat’s fault, really went at me. Then pressed me as to why I’d rent with such damage: This is Chicago. You take some hits for a good price.
Guess who had pictures with dates.
Guess whose cat was NOT THERE during the time I moved in.
His responses are now “I’ll check the videos” and “We’ll figure it out.”
Will we? Sounds like a you problem.
The handy man is an angel. He was here fixing my heater and looked at the damage and KNOWS it isn’t my fault; has my back. :D Also his name is literally Angel.
Oh, but it gets better. I just found out that I moved in on the 5th of June a couple years ago. Got receipts and all that. The pics I showed him with damage? From the 1st of June, when I collected the keys.
More damning evidence: I looked up the Zillow listing I originally saw when I found this place. The pictures are of two of my neighbors apartments, not mine. Floors look amazing because it’s literally not my apartment.
Even if people still support you and your bank account is still bringing in money, you will always have a tainted legacy,
@jk_rowling
. People won’t remember you for your work. They will remember you for being hateful, unhinged, and bigoted. Have fun with that.
Guy I met at the wedding earlier: What do you do?
Me: (hesitant) I'm a YouTuber, I guess. I discuss video games.
Guy: Shit, that has to be hard with all of the harassment.
I was then speechless because it was the first time someone in real life acknowledged that.
I don’t even know what to say. I’m devastated at the passing of Angela Lansbury. I started my show on Murder, She Wrote to help me manage my depression and it’s been the highlight of my time on YouTube. RIP to a legend.
Hey. I’m gonna say this as politely as I can. When someone is expressing love and enjoyment for something very harmless, this might not be the BEST time to write them a critical essay on why it’s bad.
Halloween isn't cancelled. Halloween is never cancelled. Dress up, get some horror movies, and decorate your house in creepy candles. We're gonna have an safe, indoor Halloween extravaganza.
I get cat called in Chicago when I'm wearing a huge black winter coat that goes to my ankles. Just wear whatever you want, people. Whatever you feel good in, whatever makes your feel comfy, sexy, whatever. Men being creepy and weird is their problem, not yours.
Social Media has convinced women that they need to be wearing skimpy workout clothes.
99% of the women wouldn't get a second look from men if they just put on some clothes.
In some amazingly good news: I just paid off my college loan. I...paid it. It's gone. It's gone forever. No more college loan payments, EVER. I PAID IT. (excitement intensifies)
The internet attacks good, valuable people if they post a bad take or two (sometimes even “bad take” is debatable) on Twitter, while legitimately awful people who bring nothing to the table get chance after chance. It’s shit.
I got hit on in an especially egregious way at the gas station today. I would to share my interaction with you.
Guy: hey baby, looking GOOD. *blows kisses*
Me: I collect mouse skulls.
Guy: what?
Me: I collect human skulls too.
Guy: oh fuck no. *Walks away, mumbling*
My cat found my crying in the bathtub and despite her fear of water, she hopped up on the ledge, tip toed over to me, and booped my nose. If that isn’t love, I don’t know what is. That’s a BOND.
Hbomb’s new video reminded me of when a certain, VERY popular gaming publication lifted one of my videos and put it into article form. Could do absolutely nothing about it. Then to add another layer of insult, my video got flagged for inappropriate content. 🙃

@GOGcom
, I'm very unhappy with your social media, lately. This is not the first time you've posted something extremely dismissive in regards to an important issue. I cannot continue to be partnered unless your social media manager changes, and you offer a sincere apology.
I’m not in costume this year but I did upset an old lady yesterday with my body mods so. That counts for something. And my shirt has crows on it and shit.
Shout out to the guy who yelled “ugly!” To me from across the street then began running away when I stopped, locked eyes with him, and started stomping his way.
A little girl started staring at me outside the coffee shop; I'm wearing my witch sun hat. She beamed to her mom, "LOOK SHE HAS A WITCHES HAT!!" So I waved and smiled at her and now I'm pretty sure this kid thinks I'm a friendly witch.
8 years ago I could barely edit or compose myself on camera. I am very honored to have gotten this far, and I am proud of the hard work I put into my content. Thank you all so much for encouraging me, and helping me to get to this amazing milestone. I am moved by your support. 💀
@MrPhallicFruit
Not sure what kind of shit artists are doing that; in most states you *have* to be 18, parent can’t sign off like a piercing. Though stick and pokes… yeah that maybe proves to me you ARE a minor. XD XD
I'm starting really difficult exposure therapy for Body Dysmorphic Disorder soon, and I'm scared. But I want to feel better. Guess I'll start by posting what my brain perceives as a bad photo of myself. (No compliments are necessary, I'm posting it because it's difficult.)
Amazing news: After weeks of being consistent with my thoughts on the Lizzie McGuire eating disorder episode and continually telling YouTube that speaking about mental illness is NOT controversial and shouldn't be considered unsuitable... I won. I got the flag cleared. 🖤😁🖤😁🖤
I’m sorry, heavy news. My brother in law of 25 years has less than a year to live due to renal failure. I offered myself as a kidney transplant option, but they won’t even consider it because his health is so poor. We’re in a bad way, over here. Might just take a few months off.
I bought a car today. I've never bought anything like this for myself; we had money trouble growing up and a lot of my money went to mental health treatment. It was hard. I worked hard on art and videos, saved my money, and in a total baller move, bought the car with cash.
What is wrong with you? Firstly, this tweet doesn't make sense, and secondly, why would you send a massive amount harassment to Jessie just because she doesn't want to continue to buy work connected to you? You can't handle that?
Deeply disappointed
@jessiegender
doesn't realise purethink is incompatible with owning ANYTHING connected with me, in ANY form. The truly righteous wouldn't just burn their books and movies but the local library, anything with an owl on it and their own pet dogs.

What in the fuck is wrong with you? It's strange to think that you're posting about a young women's eggs then ending it with a smile emoji as though it's a totally normal tweet.
I can’t believe Taylor Swift is about to turn 30 - she still looks so young!
It’s strange to think that 90% of her eggs are already gone - 97% by the time she turns 40 - so I hope she thinks about having kids before it’s too late!
She’d be a fun mom. :)
Good news everyone! I’ve been selected to compete for a feature in Inked Magazine. Voting starts in a couple weeks (on the 21st). Look for me around then. <3
About a month ago, I had a plan and an unsuccessful suicide attempt; I was in major crisis. Thanks to some very caring people in my life I was able to start feeling better, but I wanted to talk about how it manifested now that some of the more severe thoughts have quelled.
I have no sympathy for Trump. I'm typically a very sympathetic person; I lost my father to illness, but my father wasn't a bigot and morally corrupt asshole. He is *unsalvageable.* People died due to his incompetence and hatred. He stole my sense of safety. He can rot away.
Hi Katy: My family threatened to never talk to me again if I didn't vote Trump 4 years ago. This isn't about disagreement. I can't show empathy when none was given to me in the first place.
the first thing I did when the presidency was called is text and call my family members who do not agree and tell them I love them and am here for them.
#FamilyFirst
. Call your family today. Happy Sunday. ♥️
Love it when men find pictures of me with my tattoos exposed then go to a VIDEO on my channel to comment, “Aren’t you worried about what you’ll look like when you’re 80?” Sir, this is a Murder, She Wrote video. Please stay on topic.
RIP Betty White, who with the other Golden Girls, made my days so much brighter and filled with laughter when I was young and depressed. She's a legend, an outstanding actress and comedian. I'm desperately sad at her passing, but happy she led a full life.
Graham Linehan is really holding onto his lil "Don't give anorexic people liposuction" as some kind of comparison to gender dysphoria thing, huh?
I had an ED for 12 years. 1) They are not comparable to what he's saying. Not even a little. 2) Graham Linehan is a piece of shit.
Tired of hearing about that game. Franchise sucks, creator sucks, if you want to revisit a childhood thing for comfort then there’s a million games on GOG/Steam, etc. Streaming it would personally hurt some of my very good friends, so fuck that. I got hidden object games.
Reminder: It's okay if you're feeling mentally exhausted right now. It is okay if you don't have the energy to engage in everything happening online (or offline). Take a moment, even if it's just to acknowledge that you're not feeling your best. You'll be okay.
I grew up Catholic and I am Bi. I was taught love and acceptance by my Catholic parents, one of whom suffered abuse at a Catholic school from nuns. My parents's teachings were anything BUT harmful to me as a child. You aren't teaching morals, you're teaching hate and bullshit.
No, it's selfish to impose this disconnected, religious fear mongering on those who are suffering. You can't scare people out of feeling suicidal, and posting a hotline alongside a shit comment like this doesn't absolve you of your ignorance. THIS is what selfish looks like.
Someone just decided to alert me to their choice to unsubscribe to my channel due to the fact that I am in fact, bisexual. Not that I want this type of person in my fanbase, but they are gonna miss out on the dog episode of Murder, She Wrote. Is that really worth it?
Ugh. I'm in a very conservative area in the burbs and a mom walking by with her family just...shielded? her kids eyes when I passed. I'm sorry I look like a monster?
