  • idk why people aren’t excited to use new words. we’re speaking a highly mutable and constantly evolving language. every year we get brand new words, others get new meanings, it’s all very exciting!

    but then someone specifically says “i would feel more comfortable if you used this word” and THAT’S a bridge too far. it’s a kind of selfish that i just don’t understand.





  • People online will also upvote blatant racism and 9/11 truthers and shit. I’m eternally grateful communities like this exist where we can talk about how fucken stupid people can be, and all feel a little less crazy. Who the fuck seriously says “hag” anyways? I’m glad I’m not that dummy.

    You’re beautiful by the way, I’d be intimidated to talk to you irl hahaha



  • This is like, the place to go for hair care. Your hair is already really pretty by the way! Getchu some CG approved products (this can help with shopping), find a routine that you can mesh with, and you’ll be surprised by the results ^^

    I wish I could help with other stuff but I’m just a little AMAB eggy boi who gets away with having girl hair. I love helping people with hair tho, it’s such a minor thing but can be SO transformative!

    The lil wavies that are already visible are SUPER promising. You’ve got a beautiful natural curl! As it gets longer it’ll start to drape more regularly under it’s own weight, and it’ll be easier to style once there’s more of it to work with.

    The washing/conditioning methods in the CG doc will help bring out/emphasize your natural curl pattern. I went from kinda wavy hair to actual ringlets, and your hair looks wavier than mine was when I started!

    And the great part about CG is you can tweak your results, there’s no one singular “ideal” end goal! It’s like a community of curl-scientists constantly running experiments and sharing their findings.

    e: i think my instance is fucking up, sorry for the spam!



  • YES, I was hoping that link was the CG doc!! This is the way!

    Also consider asking your barber what kind of hair you have (thick, fine, voluminous, etc.), bc it can make a huge difference on what it needs. For example using conditioner as shampoo (co-washing) does amazing things for some people, but it can cause scalp buildup in thicker hair.

    SheaMoisture is my go-to brand. Their conditioner is so concentrated you almost have to water it down, I keep an empty bottle around and do 50/50.





  • Now, would it be religious discrimination if he were fired for not being able to fulfill the duties of a lifeguard, regardless of religious reasoning? If raising the flag is part of the job, where do you draw the line?

    Obviously people shouldn’t be forced to compromise their religious beliefs for a paycheck, but by that same measure people shouldn’t be paid if they’re not actually doing their job. If your religion prevents you from doing a job effectively, then you shouldn’t in good conscious even seek that job.

    I know raising pride flags isn’t necessarily in the job description for any generic lifeguard, but you get what the fuck I’m saying.
