i love the fun polishes! iridescent, multichrome, holographic etc. im trying to grow my nails out!

my gf has a nail product collection she’s been building for years so we do: strengthener, base coat, polish (1-2 coats), top coat. it’s so fun and it turns out great. i could prob keep it close to pristine for a week

its hard to adjust having an outwardly fem presentation for the first time ever, other than long hair

congrats!!

having nail polish on all week has made me feel great! gonna do this all the time!!

ah makes sense. i also have a pretty big swap file so i think that helps a bit when im doing other ram intensive stuff

i remember not using firefox for a rlly long time bc i heard it’s ram usage with multiple tabs open was a lot less efficient than other browsers. idk if that’s true but i use firefox w 4 windows with 20+ tabs each and have never had a problem

yay!

make sure not to break ur pledge

it has its origin in anti-labor actions taken during the first stages of chattel slavery. terms like black sheep and black market are similarly racially charged. black eye is just abt the color of the injury tho. and the “brown” in brown nose is abt getting shit on ur nose from ass kissing im p sure.

i aced my blood test! 3 months into hrt and my trough levels are 260 pg/mL for E2 and 30 ng/dL for T! i can def afford to down titrate, my T might be too low at my peak since it’s already rlly low at the trough. but i feel good! diy is so easy, who needs a doctor?

i want to go to there
