@LuminousCorvid alas! the exact opposite problem i face. electrolysis is probably it, then :(

i will say i remember from my time doing it that numbing lotion beforehand (especially if you do saran wrap on top to kinda hold it in) helps immensely pain-wise :)

@Ivafakename okay that's very valid

offer your doll-disabling services for money then, you can probably at least get ten bucks for it

this.... this shoe upsets me on a visceral level

also, ouch ouch ouch, ouch, diggity dang ouch, if my teres major and pec minor muscles could PLEASE simmer down, holy shit, please, i will bribe you two with muscle relaxers and ice packs and more cbd oil!!!!

the worst part is that i know part of this is stuff that would be helped by nerve flossing but Oh My God I Hate Nerve Flossing

i can't tell if these shoes are actually adorable, or just so hideous they're tricking me into thinking they're adorable? either way i'm sorely tempted because all the reviews are talking about how comfortable they are

@cosmicrose@queer.party have you considered:

1. jays, which come in many interesting pretty colors?

2. magpies, which are good at stealing things, such as flowers, springlike symbols, and the sun?

:>

@Ivafakename that's when said friend needs to get in league with parental units and say that they can just "happen" to "break" the doll by removing the batteries when sibling is distracted, bringing peace and quiet to the home. might even be able to arrange payment from parental units for the service, perhaps in the form of a fake lecture with the "punishment" of "go to your room (where your computer is) and think about what you've done (play video games) for a few hours"

@LuminousCorvid even tho i only have pcos, this is a big mood ugh.

do you have light hair or darker hair? if you have darker, thicker hair, electrolysis will probably be less effective, but it does mean that you can look for the at-home laser treatment things (and end of year sales might be a pretty decent time to see if you can snag a deal on them). (i say as i am reminded i should actually be using mine whoops.) (also apologies for this being a rather late reply)

@boisdevache@guineapig.party she did punch a paparazzi once though, as well as...

[ camera slowly pans over to a good 3/4 of bjork's actions, which may be solidly in the realm of inexplicable, and/or qualify as evidence that extraterrestrials or fae walk among us ]

anyway you can make your own jokes here about me saying the beatles are overrated and anyone who says the beatles are their fav is like someone saying their fav beer is bud lite

when my fav musician is bjork.

which, continuing this metaphor, means it's like i'm saying my favourite drink is something incredibly obscure that will make the weary bartender hate me whenever i order it because it's fucking pretentious and overcomplicated to all hell

@ghostlings that is an excellent him

please pet this him for me

so in conclusion, the beatles are all overrated, and if you meet someone who says the beatles are their favourite band, that's like meeting someone who says bud lite is their favourite beer

so sympathetically pat their arm and order them the equivalent of a good microbrew to help them through that difficult time in their life

want to discuss psychedelic music and how the hippie movement really impacted the entire musical landscape? good news, jimi hendrix is RIGHT THERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsI15ei76bg and let's be real, that's better music than 'yellow submarine'. it also goes a whole lot harder so historically you can talk about how this style flowed into what we now think of as classic rock. and you can give credit to those non-white-dude artists too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdOkQ6THDVw

you want to talk about 60's boy bands? go listen to the monkees instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcXpKiY2MXE (which i think is a better bop anyway)

you want to talk about the development of rock music? MOTOWN IS RIGHT THERE, and again, you'll end up listening to much better music lol, while giving credit to the non-white, non-male artists who defined the musical scene - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPBkiBbO4_4 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C_3eYj-pOM

they get mentioned a lot because i think they functioned as an aggregate of styles, often making those styles accessible/palatable to their audiences - sometimes by virtue of being white/middle class enough - but when you look at basically every single phase of style the beatles went through, you can find other artists who did it better and who you should really be paying attention to instead. if i were teaching a class on this, i would basically never mention the beatles for this very reason.

probably my spiciest take yet on mastodon:

the beatles are severely overrated

@legendaryjoeb joke's on you I CONSIDER THAT A LEGIT BOP

honestly, carry me to the hallowed halls of Whamhalla over that. i bravely welcome the blow to be struck down by LAST CHRISTMAS~ I GAVE YOU MY HEART~ over this

i am hoping now that the christmas season is over, as much as i enjoyed it, maybe i can get SIIIIIMPLY. HAAAAAAAVING. A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIIIIME. out of my head
