I’m curious, but also dubious. Can it really handle my flow? If I bleed through there’s nothing to catch it but my pants, and... a resounding meh to that.

Hah... That’s exactly what I thought it was. My gut reaction was ‘Gross! You don’t know where that has been!’

Oh, god, no. I have a razor and shave that sucker clean. I tried waxing my upper lip and chin once. The operative word here is ‘tried’.

I’ve had really long, weird nip hairs since I was a teenager, and now I’m in my middle twenties. Chin hairs, too. Where do they come from and how do they suddenly seem to grow out extremely long overnight? Mystery of this world. Personally, though, I get a deep satisfaction out of pulling those suckers out by hand.…

Ehh, I feel what you’re saying, but I shave my face so my foundation doesn’t look weird, it really does make a difference for me. I have a lot of facial hair that’s otherwise reasonably hard to see. If you don’t wear foundation, or even if you do but aren’t especially hirsute, it’s not necessary for most people.

I adore Chella Ivory Lace for this. I got in in my Ipsy a while back. In theory, it’s supposed to be a multiuse stick that functions as, among other things, a highlighter, but it wasn’t my skintone, so I was super baffled about what to do with it until I put it on my waterline, where it went and stayed very easily and…

One of my coworkers is French-American and from Paris. He emigrated alone. He was not okay today. I hope deeply that all of your family and his are both safe.

I mean, I appreciate the spirit of Frankel’s sentiment... but those are definitely not soldiers! Not that I mind much, though, Marine salt is the best salt.

Harry Potter always had the worst fandom. It’s decentralized since LJ lost its English-speaking fanbase, but still.

As best can be told, President Putin can both understand and speak English reasonably well, but appears to prefer his native Russian, no real surprise there. There are very few clips of him speaking English circulating the internet, like this one:

I’m active duty, and oh, man, I feel you. I have a cavity, surprise. I called around the first to make an appointment. I couldn’t get one until the thirteenth. It’s even worse for the retired, who also don’t have the option of walk-in hours (when those even exist), if I recall correctly. In some regions, especially…

TBF, he is a very minor character... But ahahaha, oh man, that’s pretty good. You tried, translator. You tried.

... I’m so damn confused by this.

Okay, but important question here - Who mixes their Play-Dough colors together?! Then you can’t reuse them and you end up with a gross looking multicolor blob eventually and...

I find myself completely okay with all of that.

Except, no, it’s not fictional or made up. Similar whining has happened when book characters were cast with black actors in movies - For example, Rue from the Hunger Games (who is black in canon...), or Cinna from the same (whose race is never specified). Or Blaise Zambini from Harry Potter. Each put the internet in a…

This might be kind of unkind, but his face... makes me really uncomfortable.

There’s a twenty year gap between my father and his next oldest sibling - His mother had him at at least forty four, probably older. It was quite the surprise, because, well, they were Catholic (sufficiently so that my uncle is a priest, in fact), so after all that time with no children... Then she had another…

Jesus, same here. I used to run away when they tried to brush my hair because my scalp is so sensitive. Now I have a very short haircut, not sure what that does to my take-serious level, but it’s not worth the trouble to let my hair grow out.

I’m not sure most of that is new, it’s just out in the open.
