I want an answer to that too!

I think it just depends on your skin. If you're oily/prone to breakouts, probably not good, but otherwise it's probably fine.

I'm generally fine w sheer BB creams, since I have a pretty even skintone and mostly just wanna make my crappy pores look better (without actually making them worse). But can you pair hi/low-lights w BB creams?

I'm not the one who posed the question, but I'd also like to know. I'm kinda olive-y, but my skin varies a lot based on how tan I am (I'm one of those assholes who pretty much never burns). I think I definitely have warm undertones — kind of in the range of Lea Michele? And hair that falls somewhere between 'nut…

Yeah, keeping the name seems like a strange choice. But I'm glad you have such an awesome (and important) job!

Do you? I know it's supposed to be an excellent hospital now, but I only know it through literature prior to 1900...

There are sometimes differences, depending on where your "local" is and what the product is — cultivated blueberries, for example, grown by big companies, are larger, less flavorful, and less nutritious than their wild counterparts, which you can buy from farmers/in grocery stores in places like Maine. But yeah, the…

Art supplies and everything Roland Barthes, apparently.

Yep. I have almost completely stopped using shampoo (dry, curly, verrrrry frizz-prone hair), but when I do it has to be sulfate-free or my hair just hates me.

Scientists think this is a bean's natural defense against male predators. Make a xenoestrogen, mess with a man's hormones, game, set, match.

I'm pretty sure it just sold out (well, I bought one of the remaining five) thanks to you. In that same order, I also bought Frankenstein, and several shades of brown acrylic paint-markers so I can accurately paint my hair (on canvass, not on my head).

By "cuticle oil" do you mean "olive oil or coconut oil or Smith's Rosebud salve depending on what's nearest"?

Yes!!!

What if your nails are always on the short end/tend to be more round-shaped than oval-shaped?

I myself am pretty disillusioned (I assumed that's what you meant? Since you can vote, you're not disenfranchised) with most foreign policy across the board, but Obama has definitely done good things on the national level, like drastically lower unemployment after the fiasco of '08 and also pretty drastically expand…

Honestly if you lived in a swing state and this was election time, I would not have kept my cool. I get that people's ideologies don't fall neatly across the lines. But when people who support marriage equality and reproductive rights and know that both global warming and institutionalized racism are real — in other…

On a related note, the reactions to the #likeagirl Super Bowl commercial are just. Unsurprising but so fucking depressing and exhausting.

Hehe. I don't read a ton of sci-fi, so you could be totally right there. But from I have read, Octavia Butler is fucking AMAZING and like, scary-predictive.

Right? She'd be awesome.

Yeah, the history of the novel is quite long, and very fraught among super-cool academics like myself (the "starting point" of the novel falls anywhere between the late 16th century and the mid-to-late 18th century); people sometimes attribute the start of Sci-Fi to H.G. Wells, but then you've got time travel with…
