Aw, thank you! It was a bit intoxicating to be doing the thing finally, to be quite honest. How long have you been in the field?

It doesn’t seem/feel dry. My nose is the most oily place on my face, which is what makes this confusing. Do you think it would be best to up the moisturizer for a bit to see what happens before looking at exfoliating?

I have a dumb questions about skincare. I never use foundation but I had to use some powder yesterday and my nose had this weird texture like it was flakey-peeling after I applied the mineral powder. This means I need to exfoliate more, right? If so, how? I use a (nonelectric) face brush three times a week and use a…

That’s both delightful and depressing.

Whoa, congrats! Have you completed triathlons before?

It was so blatant! But I was too young to get it. It was funny to me because I had been doing the same thing with boy bands to overcompensate, and it made me paranoid that everyone knew that I was gay despite my act.

I remember being a baby lesbian (8 years old or so) and I thought I was the only one. My mom and I were watching Rosie’s show and I said something about how Tom Cruise should date her since she likes him so much. My mom said “Honey, Rosie is so gay. It’s an act.” My tiny brain was blown knowing that 1) there are other…

I was about to be the nicest I’ve ever been to a pope and almost wrote this off as an unfortunate translation issue (concentration as in “a group of something packed together”) that occurred somewhere down the line but nope, apparently he meant it as intended. Ugh. Just stop with Holocaust comparisons, everyone.

Not quite gardening, but I’ve managed to keep my new orchid alive for 1 week! I’ve murdered dozens of plants, mostly by being an anxiety-riddled overly concerned helicopter plant mom, but this one is doing well! I’m very jealous of all you green thumbs.

Sorry, interpreter training program. I’m still in jargon mode after a day of homework.

I’m so sorry. I’m in an ITP right now and I’m shocked and enraged at so many of these commenters, but I’m sure I’m only feeling .1% of your pain. You are valid, your experiences and needs are valid, and I’m sorry that people chose to show their asses on this article. 💙

I’m also in school and my program requires us to make self care plans each term. I usually just make a checklist and then never use it, but this term I made this little list. Feel free to save this if you want so you can quickly refer to it for ideas (ignore “research 1 sign” and “simultaneity”, those are specific to…

I started my theatrical interpreting class and hoo-boy. I only have to translate 11 pages but it is so much work and I’m second-guessing all of my ideas. There are some metaphors that I don’t think will translate to ASL but I’m not finding any equivalent metaphors/idioms in ASL that would work, which is usually the…

I bought a pumpkin/honey glycolic acid mask from Ulta that arrived in the mail today that I’m excited to try. It looks like baby food in the jar and smells interesting, so I hope it doesn’t turn out to be a dud.

The fact that there are multiple accusers makes me feel unlikely that the allegations are false, sadly.

Right?? My spouse is Muslim and struggles with not being able to talk shit. From what I’ve been told the rule is not to backbite or gossip about fellow Muslims, but it seems like all the people I know apply it to everyone. Here’s a link if you’re curious.

I swear that Muslim Arabs are the best at shady shit because of the whole “no backbiting or gossiping” rule. Gotta get creative and subtle!

I’ve been wearing the American Eagle flats from there for like 6 years. Yeah, I have to buy new pairs after six months or so, but they’re so cheap that I don’t feel bad for not wearing the flats socks that are so uncomfortable and fall off my feet constantly and just chuck the shoes when they get smelly.

I feel like you’re right but I don’t remember. I hope someone knows what’s up with this!
