Got my very first manicure ever today. Took my mom to get hers done for her birthday and got mine done along with. Got a nice red color just on my nails, no gel or anything because ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 

The guy who did them told me I had natural oils on my nails which will make it come off fast, which was interesting to find out because normally, I apply nail polish and I’m lucky if I make it 24 hours before chipping even if I double layer it. Guess now I know why! 

Couldn’t quite understand if he told me how long he thinks it will last, so I guess I’ll just wait and see. Haha. 

I’ve been working stretches into my morning evening routines. Nothing big. It probably takes me less than five minutes. I am not a fan of actually doing most of The Things, but my body sure does feel great Afterwards! It’s weird though because that feeling isn’t motivation enough. That’s not why I’m doing it. I’m doing it to try and reduce daily shoulder/hip/wrist pains from my computer work. And still it’s a struggle to get myself to do it every day. It’s rediculous!

LMAO YES 😫

UGH!!!! all too fucking accurate

Shaving your vagina hacks:
1) Don’t use shaving cream. It leaves too much stubble. Use conditioner instead.
2) always use a fresh razor. If one isn’t available you can hone your razor by rubbing it in the opposite direction that you shave in on your jeans or similar fabric. Make sure it’s sharp!
3) To avoid a rash/razor burn, apply unscented stick deodorant in the direction of hair growth after you towel off.

^ god bless you

seconding the deoderant trick, helps with ingrowns too

Im gonna add more onto here bc everyone deserves a shaved coochie that is smooth and non-irritated okay:
– if your hair is really thick or hasn’t been shaved for a while i’d advise trimming it a bit before you start shaving.
– it is suggested that when you shave you go in the direction the hair grows but then wait, that doesn’t actually remove much hair?? So I usually do it sideways going from one side to the other, so you aren’t going against the grain but are still removing the hair.
– deffo use conditioner as it states above, i’ve also heard of people using coconut oil? But i haven’t tried that yet so idk how well it works.
– okay so you shaved your coochie and it looks so cute so the next thing is, as soon as you step out the bath/shower get a wet flannel as cold as you can handle (i usually get this ready in the sink before i get in the bath/shower) and basically just pat the whole area with the cold water (DO NOT RUB) this helps close all the pores straight away and soothes the irritation.
– the next step is to moisurise. Use something really gentle on the skin, unscented is best. I use baby oil but please don’t use that unless you don’t plan on having sex using condoms as ~baby oil erodes condoms~ again some people use coconut oil.
– Don’t ever put any oils, conditioner, moisturiser inside your vagina or like near your vulva like don’t even use any product at all past the external labia please.
– usually if this is the first time you have done it or you haven’t for a while let your skin settle a week or so if not longer as some irritation will likely occur and you don’t want to be shaving over the top of that.
Trust me, I tried to shave at 14 and had no idea how to do it and ended up in a mess.

okaedae FAISHA THIS SHIT SAVED MY VAGINA WHEB I SHAVED SO SQUARE UP

Shaving your vagina hacks: 

Don’t.

That’s it; that’s the hack.

This has been a freaking disturbing recent turn of events in the history of feminism and performed femininity, and it is 100% due to porn made by men for men. 100%. 

There is no GODDAMN reason any woman should be shaving off her pubic hair. But hey–you want to support men’s infantilization of women? By all means, remove all evidence of the fact that you’re not an eight-year-old girl they’re fucking. 

Like, adult women are gross, right? Ew. Let’s totally denude them and make them look like pre-pubescent girls. Much better for men to fuck. Wouldn’t want the sensation of fucking a woman to feel any different to fucking a fleshlight, right? After all, sex is for men to enjoy and women to provide that enjoyment.

Any man who is turned off by a woman’s pubic hair learned everything he knows about sex from online porn made by men. Any man who won’t fuck you if you have pubic hair thinks that sex is for him to fuck you, and not at all for you to enjoy. Sex is for him. Your job is to provide sex as per his previous experience with smooth, plastic blow-up dolls or his own moisturizer-coated, hair-free palm.

Keep that in mind the next time you think it’s a good idea to TAKE A RAZOR TO YOUR LABIA ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE. 

I shave my labia because I like the increased sensation when I masturbate. While I understand that many people with vaginas shave their labia because they feel socially pressured to do so, I have only ever done so for my own physical pleasure. Skin has nerves. Hair follicles don’t. I like how it feels. I don’t care how it looks. I don’t care what anyone else thinks of how it looks.

Also I really hate cleaning dried period blood out of long pubes.

It’s regrettable that modern society socially pressures women to be hairless. I don’t think anybody shold be pressured to shave if they don’t want to. Personally, I never, ever shave my legs and I only occasionally shave my armpits. 

But I wouldn’t say there’s “no goddamn reason any woman” (or person of any other gender) might want to shave off their pubic hair. Plenty of people enjoy having hairless genitals, myself included, independent of patriarchal aesthetics. One of my previous sexual partners had a penis and shaved their genitals for I assume the same reasons I shaved mine.

Do whatever you want to your body, and do it for yourself, not for anybody else.

I feel like I’ve successfully friended this week, and it’s a really good feeling. 

Not to bore with the details, but I supported a friend who called out of the blue because of a major life shift and helped her where others hadn’t. 

Another friend asked for my opinion on something, and she generally trusts me to be honest, so I fought the urge to give her white lies and told her what I actually thought. She was happy that I did, though I changed my mind about the thing when I got better pics and was able to give her the answer (honestly) I’d wished to from the start. 

Took a day off work to help my sister out with her kids (I know she’s my sister but she’s also my friend), and was apparently quite helpful even though I didn’t particularly feel like it. 

Helping another friend out with their pet while they’re gone for the weekend. 

And queued up some longish/detailed-ish reviews for fanfiction on my fandom blog that I hope the writers will enjoy! 

So yay! Good week. Feeling good about myself. And now validating those feelings with a little post (‾̀◡‾́) 

Tumblr’s violating your privacy by default again

Hey guys, a quick note. Tumblr just added a ‘feature’ that shows if you’re online or not. The only place I see it is in the messenger, though it might be elsewhere. It’s showing a friend as online even though they just have a tumblr tab open that they haven’t looked at in hours. It also shows how long ago they were active. I don’t know how it interacts with the app.

I have a few problems with this:

  • I personally don’t like the feeling of being stalked
  • People could actually stalk you
  • Person A could get mad at Person B because it said Person B was online but they weren’t (and thus didn’t respond) – or just wasn’t up to talking
  • Person X could message Person Y and get anxious when person Y doesn’t respond, since it says they’re online

I found the place to turn it off in account settings. There’s a section called “Availability” where you can toggle off the functionality.

Safe browsing, folks. 

@staff why do u want us off the site so badly

Well lovely, so I don’t have the setting yet but apparently people do see me as active. So I can’t opt out? That’s a dick move.

@docholligay, I noticed on my Mobile that Tumblr was doing this to your blog when I was reading fics from your page. I don’t know if you’d care, but since I definitively noticed it on your page, I figured I’d throw the information your way. 

flamethrowing-hurdy-gurdy:

indiasierrabravo:

No but I mean. I hate that I’m so easy to read, I hate that I can’t pretend better to act normal or whatever. I hate myself so much.

That’s bullshit though, you feel uncomfortable because society hates real feelings, they only like clean pretty pretend ones, but if you ask me to choose between someone who shows real feelings and someone who pretends they’re emotionless to look more ‘normal’ or whatever, I’ll take the former, cuz the latter scares me and I distrust them. 

Like ‘mature people contain themselves’ WHO SEZ???

(and I don’t see the point of rules about which ways of showing feelings are correct and which are not. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, it’s all fucking human. )

But I mean I know that feeling, I hate that I can’t hold it in when it’s real bad, but fuck it it’s not my fault other people subscribe to ridiculous standards. I do wish I was better at it too because emotions=danger and vulnerability. AND YET.

As someone who tends to close off when feeling intense emotions, I’m all aboard the ‘society sucks for hating emotions’ train. It’s so fucking unhealthy that displays of true emotion are some sort of weird taboo or ‘immature’ thing. What is more mature than being honest about how you feel? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I’m sorry you all feel that way. That really sucks. I definitely feel like I would too if I wasn’t generally able to hide negative emotions, though I’ve actually been trying to do it a little less with soome success. 

So yeah. Just came here to say society sucks but then rambled. Sorry. 

What Is Face Blindness? – Science Friday

kimbureh:

I did the faceblindness test and scored with amazing 93%, whereas 80% are the average. No faceblindness then. But it makes me wondering, what else it might be? I can look at people I know for years and sometimes they just seem so alien to me. If I see people on the street I have to stare to make sure it’s not person xyz SO DAMN OFTEN. Ugh. But then again I spent literally years drawing nothing but faces, over and over and over again. Nothing else. Just faces. looking back i wonder what kind of obsession that was because I hardly ever drew anything else.

I got a 75% 

I dunno what to think. I work in a place with a lot of employees that I meet randomly. Sometimes once every few months, others every few weeks, and I’m So bad at remembering them. I mean, I suppose I know if it’s a person I saw before, but remembering which names go with what faces, no way. So, maybe it’s not about me not recognizing their faces then? Just remembering the name that goes with… ? 

Cause, it’s not infrequent for me to pick out characters in shows that I have seen elsewhere. I watch things all the time and go ‘Oh, that minor character there played this minor part here! How cool!’ ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 

What Is Face Blindness? – Science Friday

Drugs are the fucking worst.

shakethecobwebs:

While visiting my dad I have fed him, helped him pee, cleaned sores on his thighs, covered him up (especially when his ass was showing because wearing clothes is too hard for him right now), scratched his swollen and scabbed legs, rubbed his swollen and tender feet, given him a haircut (trimming his beard tomorrow), kept conversation with him, and a whole lot more. I’ve done these things because I love him and people deserve to be taken care of, full stop, but especially when they are sick and hurt and dying.

His piece of shit wife came to visit for thrity minutes today to ask for money for drugs.

Just a glimpse into this hell hole.

I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever think that drinking and doing drugs is cute or quirky or no big deal because none of this could ever be cute or quirky or no big deal.

I am so sorry for your situation. I hope you have people in your life to be there for you when you go home. I’m so glad you’re able to get to him finally though! 

And yeah, drugs are terrible. One side of my family are pretty much all drunks, drunks who don’t believe in getting mental health help. Drinking is the ‘reasonable solution,’ and given that my family is generally poor with a lot of trauma in it, this is terrible. A cousin of mine recently committed suicide because of things he’s done while drunk, and just after his mom got done crying into my arms, her husband comes down, and we’re talking, and I mention that I have trouble falling asleep, and he recommends alcohol. 

I was so pissed. I’ve been rather mad at my family since this incident because who knows if his and another life wouldn’t be fucked up terribly if he had been supported in getting counseling years ago instead of ‘just have a beer,’ and they still don’t get it. I just… wtf people. 

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. As callous as it sounds, I’m fortunate for not being super close to that side of my family, but I dread the day it really seriously affects my mom in any sort of way like it’s affecting your father.
