I’ve had good results from Dermalogica’s Special Cleansing Gel. My skin’s on the oily side, and it reduced that without stripping too much moisture. Are you near an Ulta store? Many of them sell Dermalogica facials; you can try the product out before buying and get a consultation while you’re at it.

Happy belated birthday, and wishing you the best as you move forward post-divorce. May the days ahead get better and better!

You can do this. Try to get a quick nap or some stretches and get back in the game! Write a draft, read another chapter. You can always edit/re-write but you can’t get lost studying or writing time back. Take it from me.

I’m going to jump in and make a quick pitch for a diaphragm! Non-hormonal (except for the spermicide) and surprisingly easy (for me, at least) to insert and remove. I’ve used one with two partners - one who was very generously endowed and the other who had a piercing through the head of his penis (called an…

I don’t know what you should do, but your story struck a chord in my heart. Can you sign up with a temp agency? (Even if only for a little while?) What do you do, work-wise, or like to do? Do we have any FL-based Jezzies who might have more specific advice? Please know that this internet stranger is rooting for you.

I’m going to catch Pitchfork’s footage of FKA Twigs

Saimin! Same here! Luckily its nutritional value *can* be boosted with fresh veggie, and one can make it while wearing zoris, so that helps.

I cannot speak to this personally, but on Facebook there is a group called Gallavanteer. It's travel-related, but they opened up to welcome people who had come to Austin for a music festival that was cancelled the day before it was supposed to begin - that's how I got there. This group has several members who travel…

I am following a frankly amazing massage student who is a month away from graduation at the beauty school in Poway. PM me if you want his name. The cons of this situation include that the massage school has very limited appointment dates and times available. The huge pro, though, is that the price of massage is a…

You are very special to me. Enjoy the party!

Hi. Love your name (Heather Mooney, c’est moi). I’m starting to try to conceive - time’s up for me, age-wise. I hope that the tachycardia lets up and that your labor and delivery go well! ✨ That's my wish for you, fellow Internet stranger.

Counterpoint: YASSS.

No. Absolutely not. Drag queens do not “almost always look like shit.” This is unequivocally untrue (except for Christeene, whom I adore, and that’s her deliberate schtick). So maybe you just don’t like drag. OK, fine. But don’t go claiming that queens look like shit because they’re wearing a lot of makeup - the…

NOW we’re talking!

She takes the tragic and turns it into magic 💫

Lucky you! I wanted to see that tour, but it fell on a bad night for me.

I experience similar symptoms but have received no diagnosis yet. Have you seen if any of your meds cause potassium deficiency? That could be a cause of your leg cramps. I strongly advise investigating. I won’t bore you with the reasons why I suggest this, but I can provide the story/reasoning if you want. I hope you…

Has anyone in your healthcare team talked to you about removing future kidney stones via lithotripsy? My parent has had to have two lithotripsy procedures and they helped to break up 4 kidney stones, making their passage a lot easier (still painful but less so). See if you can go that route next time, if you…

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother as well as the means by which she passed. I am the child/caregiver of a parent with chronic pain and depression, so my heart especially goes out to you. The fact that you had online comments regarding her death and the meds involvement is enraging to me. How dare they! They…

Stop, but before you do, look up Unlucky Lingerie on Insta.
