so if you've never heard it before, i would urge you to take a moment and listen to the Hammond Song by the Roches
it's folk-ish but there's something... oddly beautifully transcendent about it
also while i'm sad my feet got ouchy and scuffed, at least i have cream to use up to put on them
so pro life tip: put hand cream you don't like on your feet, then put some socks on so it soaks in
but also the burt's bees orange blossom and pistachio is a severe disappointment. apparently "orange blossom and pistachio" to their scent team means "bad fakey orange candy scent, not the good stuff, but like the orange fruit flavored tootsie rolls that are bullshit"
honestly foley work makes the best trivia, especially for star wars
ben burtt does not get as much recognition as he should for tying it all together to really make star wars - forgive me for this overdone word choice though i would argue it actually applies here - truly iconic
and you can learn trivia like jabba the hutt's slurping is actually ben burtt fondling some mac and cheese! who doesn't love such trivia?!
@genderlessmenace666@queer.party I KNOW RIGHT? MOVIE IS NOW EVEN MORE DELIGHTFUL https://www.cinemablend.com/new/How-Cat-Named-Pork-Chop-Helped-Star-Wars-Force-Awakens-Nail-An-Intense-Scene-119017.html
the cat being named porkchop is really just the cherry on top of the sundae
@genderlessmenace666@queer.party incredibly valid, because i for one think that enjoyment of the recent star wars movies is increased by a thousandfold once you know that the sound effect rumble of kylo ren using the force is actually a cat named Porkchop purring (and then mushed about on a computer)
@PrinceOfTheIronFist@mastodon.social probably, but i feel like way too many people on DA make a game of "well it's not a common fetish, and all bits are covered, so i don't have to disclose that this is fetish art at all"
one of the reasons i stopped posting there was the integral DA experience of getting a notification of a fav and realizing that your normal, nonsexualized drawing was now in somebody's very specific wank bank folder, and being very uncomfortable with it lol
man there's a flap in the comments over on a slate article about whether or not all clear heels are "stripper heels"
and like
momentarily putting aside the misogyny and disdain for sex workers and performers there
IF YOU THINK THESE SHOES ARE 'STRIPPER HEELS' YOU'VE ONLY SEEN SOME REAL BORING-ASS STRIPPERS.
politics
anyway that's enough glancing at the news, if i keep this up i will remember all the politicians going "oh yes well trump did a very bad thing, and it was bad, but we can now all move on past it without any consequences given to him" and explosively hulk out in rage
politics
christ, trump actually is taking a position i agree with
even a broken clock is right twice a day i suppose
he's still an absolutely abominable human being but i hope this makes another sliver of his loonies decide they can't remain in the trump cult now that he's flip-flopped to vaccines good actually

Skin Care Question
@baronvonjace that makes total sense! i admit i'm a bit of a perfume fiend but i've been trying to be a bit more mindful due to other people's sensitivities when i'm out and about. (but like... smell-goods... is nice................)
i think the only other tip is maybe look at getting some baby washcloths if you feel like your face is still getting scratchy/irritated - i love mine, they're much finer and softer than regular ones, but i have a very easily set off face LOL
happy lesbian day to all wuluws out there!

if you need to smile at wacky science today, please remember these brave lads who went around disney world with a box full of pee and stones to determine that riding rollercoasters might actually be useful for passing kidney stones https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/science/roller-coaster-kidney-stones.html
Skin Care Question
@baronvonjace i'm deffo banging on about calming skin stuff/non-irritating skin stuff because my skin is super super stupidly sensitive unless i feed it chamomile and happy thoughts lol. but also because when your skin gets irritated, it thinks shit's out to get it, and often produces a lot more oil and such, and this will absolutely clog up ya pores tae fook. so a lot of skincare that works ends up being "shhhh. SHHHH. CALM DOWN. caaalllmmm dooowwwwnnnn." lol
