paranoid linux sadgirl with imposter syndrome
A tiny vial of peppermint clove oil. I struggle with sleepiness and lack of focus so after I’ve had an inadvisable amount of caffeine and am still not functional, I dab a bit right under my nostrils to help me wake up and focus a bit better
Also works as mosquito repellent on some species so if I forget bug spray I use some of this instead
LXDE/LXQT because I grew up using potato computers and now I can’t stand it if my DE uses more than 2% of my hardware resources
though I am currently using KDE because for fuck knows what reason, Kubuntu is the only prepackaged Linux I’ve been able to get to boot on my weird Samsung laptop and I haven’t bothered to gut KDE and replace it with LXQT yet
I feel like the only lesbian in the world who genuinely enjoys scissoring even though it’s not the most practical position 😭
the top is the one who has to go get the electrolyte water from the fridge when you’re both out of breath
first time seing a Galaxy Quest gif. 10/10
I would gladly decorate with a real skeleton as they’re biodegradable non-petroleum products but my mom said I’m not allowed
can’t wait for the absolutely bonkers technique arms race between corporate facial recognition tech devs and makeup artist cyberpunks
a novelization of one of my favorite video games
I suffered through it because I love the franchise so much and it wasn’t that long but holy shit, I was the writing quality of a grade schooler but with added unnecessary and gross romance between two children.

Fortunately I’m not a fabric softener user! :) You’re the second person to suggest using a second dry towel however so I’ll definitely be trying that. (I just have to find the other towel first, lol)
that’s a good point. distract myself with some Necrogoblikon or something. having wet hair makes me feel goblin-y in an angry wet cat sorta way lol
i already listen to metal when I epilate my leg and armpit hair cuz that shit hurts and the metal helps me feel badass enough to deal with it :'D
that’s so lovely of you 🥺 if I ever manage to have a partner someday I will definitely inquire as to whether they’d be up for this! I’d certainly do it for them in return. Blow drying someone else’s hair sounds WAY easier
Oh!! I have a rayon sarong that’s really absorbent and might work for this. Never thought to introduce a second, dryer head wrap after the initial towel
I’m really curious about what kind of job that could be lol
adult entertainment haha. but all kinds of entertainment industry workers have restricted ability to change their hair length/color/etc. also women who work at religious institutions (e.g. a Christian hospital) may face significant social pressure to have traditionally feminine (long) hairstyles
I forgot about diffusers!! my mom has one and I love using it. definitely worth looking into, thanks for reminding me!!!
Being John Malkovich
the story is just so out there and it’s excellently acted and directed. chef’s kiss
INDOOR PLUMBING
I live in an apartment complex. The thought of having to share an outhouse (more than 1 if lucky) with hundreds of strangers TERRIFIES ME. And/or use chamberpots. FUCK NO
A BLESSED ETERNAL AFTERLIFE OF BLISS FOR ALL HUMANS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO INDOOR PLUMBING SCIENCE 😩
crispy eggplant semolina torta from Tortaria NYC
legit the best goddamn sandwich i’ve ever had
baking soda and raising the head of my bed have worked wonders for me, hope it does you well 🤞
It’s this stuff:
My former boss’s wife is Thai and empathized with my hatred of mosquito bites, so she gifted it to me. Apparently it’s not uncommon to carry it in your purse over there. I live in the US and have seen it at Asian pharmacies.
Likely any strong herbal extract oil applied under the nose would have the same (I’m assuming mostly psychological) mild stimulating effect. Just make sure whatever it is, it’s safe to apply topically.
