So hard to resist! He will allow you to gently smoosh his paws, though, which I love and find oddly relaxing.

I too am generally woefully bad with eyeliner, but I swear, the Fenty Flyliner has been a small miracle for me. You do have to be careful not to be heavy-handed (it goes on very easy, and very solid black, so a light touch is perfect), but it has been very, very kind to me and my general fumbling! Perfect consistency…

And that lip combo sounds NICE.

Ooh, that looks like a nice area to explore! Sorry about the obnoxiousness along the way, though. No one who ever is that sure their dogs are trained enough to just wander around is ever correct in that assumption, I swear.

I know, he has such a soft coat with all that sheen! (And doesn’t shed much, thank goodness, though of course I do still give him a good brushing every day. Until he starts to attack the brush, which he seems determined to someday kill.)

I have! The one I have is super dark (I think Ma’damn?), and if you pair it with the Stunna Lip Paint (which I do), you look ready to kill a man, which I enjoy very much. I actually will add a touch of the OG Gloss Bomb to all that just to soften the crazy deep punch of red a bit.

What a week! I feel like I wasted most of it sleeping in late, since my work schedule got fucked with (i.e. more night shifts), and it just threw me and my overall energy off completely. Hopefully will feel more normal next week, I always just feel like a sloth who never fully wakes up when I sleep for more than 6-7…

I haven’t tried it yet, but I just indulged in a tube of the new Fenty diamond lip gloss last night, and am v excited to do so. None of the Fenty stuff has let me down yet (also, Flyliner is MY SHIT, best eyeliner ever).

Haha I looked back at their posting history and noticed that! And then I laughed a lot about it for a few minutes, because it’s truly pathetic, even as far as the most tired of sad little Bernie bros goes. Imagine spending actual minutes of your life doing that! Several times over!

Awesome! You’re welcome, and hope you enjoy!

...is this supposed to mean anything to me?

I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly (I might have even said “FUCK NO!” out loud, at work!), but I especially like the delivery. Always one of my favorite older Archer jokes, which I occasionally have to use on my sloppy roommates.

I’m glad posting here helped, and you absolutely will be! You’re clearly primed for loving a(nother) very lucky kitty. This one was already lucky to be found by you.

Maybe your kitty will come back to you in another kitty body.

Oh no, I am so, so sorry. I get attached to basically every cat and kitten I encounter, anywhere, and I feel your pain. (Last October, actually, I came upon a black kitten who’d been hit by a car and just left in the road, on my walk in to work, and I absolutely could not bear just leaving him out there. I stopped at…

That movie is so great, and she is (of course) so great in it!

YES. I just adore her. It’s a rare post from her that doesn’t make me laugh (and if it doesn’t, it’s probably one of her occasional 100% sincere posts about a dear friend or something, which is just a different kind of delightful).

I do wonder how many people are actually using that as a shortened form of Eleanor, though, and how many are just straight up naming babies Ellie? Because I’ve run into far more of the latter than the former, funnily enough.

Last I heard, that Canadian chain may end up buying them out, so that at least the retail stores (or at least whatever’s left once they’re done shuttering all the ones with upcoming expiring leases) can remain... Hopefully something like that! I don’t want a wasteland, either.

Completely honest question: do y’all jump ship before the company fully goes under (likely within the next 18-24 months, given what I’ve heard from higher ups), or ride it out and see what they do (or don’t) offer at the very end?
