@sydia i have some really bad news for you https://www.tastingtable.com/dine/national/chili-and-cinnamon-rolls

cinnamon rolls as a dessert *after* the chili, i can see, but apparently it's beloved in some schools and most of the kids DUMP THE CHILI ON TOP and that is the exact moment i lose my shit

@sydia Y'ALL APPARENTLY SERVE IT OVER CINNAMON ROLLS

THAT AIN'T RIGHT

(i have no idea what's going on but i'm just still horrified about hearing chili served on top of cinnamon rolls is, like, a regular thing that happens in cincinnati, and i am so terrified of y'all up there now.)

my reasoning is that the statements go one of two ways

1. it's bullshit attention seeking, fishing for "nooo you're so greeeat please stay"

2. it's the truth, which is worse, because if the entire hobby is toxic for this person, keeping them on the server as a gateway back into those toxic behaviors is pretty fucking cruel. at that point it's clearly my onus as mod to cut them off if they're here for digital self-harm.

is 'three strikes you're out' a reasonable policy to have with flouncers

a problem user is now on flounce number two, of the "i'm quitting this hobby forever it's terrible for my mental health" type - statements always get walked back to "except for this server".

tbh if it happens a third time i am leaning towards banhammer. is this bonkers too harsh or too soft?

note it's a hobby server, not srs bzns mental support space. (cont)

@citlali@kitty.town it really is nice and meditative!! i've been doing the same thing, i need to paint mine again after giving them a bit of a break to soak up nail oil. simplynailogical's video about growing long nails/nail care is basically the set of tips i'm following, LOL

i will say also if you don't have any, some liquid latex is amaaazinggg. but i may be biased because i'm bad at actually painting my nails, so it really helps to use it to put up a bit of a barrier

@citlali@kitty.town lol same, they're so easy to do at home now! AND you can use all the little chroming powders n shit. fuck those are so incredibly satisfying to use. if you haven't hit up bornpretty to buy some, 10/10 would recommend it makes you feel like a fuckin WIZARD

unfortunately i got really thin nails so i just can't do them being roughed up to grip for gel :( but i will say china glaze's super adhesion base coat is pretty baller. chipping still happens tho.

YO
YOYOYOYO

GUYS

I DIDNT KNOW MR ROGERS WAS BI

THATS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!

@citlali@kitty.town that's valid, i stopped doing my nails with gel because the entire nail worth of nail polish just likes yeeting itself off my fingernail and then it's a bad time LMAO

i would join the dice discourse and showing off but

i actually don't have any physical dice

reasons:

1. i would lose them constantly

2. pretty ones look like they'd be good to lick but i know they're not going to taste good but Wanna Lick

3. my dog also probably thinks 2 is valid and dice look tasty

@citlali@kitty.town nnnNNNOOOOoo

..................okay yeah i've also done the same thing but also like. at least get you some nail oil plx to immediately help your nails a bit

*shoves nail oil pen through the internet at you*

die discourse?

diescourse?

i really like kbeauty lip tints - peripera water lip tint, etude house dear darling water gel tint, etc. - but holy shit, they have a fucking learning curve

i am NOT USED to something SO PIGMENTED but also WITH THE VISCOSITY OF WATER

someday i'll figure out how to apply 'em without one of my fingertips stained red for the rest of the day as well but today is not that day.

@toomuchbread all the best english papers are horrific stretches.

once you get to the stage of "oh my god... you know this actually works", you know... you have made it. you have done an english paper. it is a beautiful, beautiful thing. you're totally on to something here and i believe in you 100%, GO FORTH AND WRITE

source: have english degree, once wrote paper about how world of warcraft was inherently existentialist, got a 98

@TheGibson the stupidest most bougie shit i've bought lately in that vein that was still totally worth it:

pillow spray.

just like... stuff you spritz on your bed before you go to sleep. i don't really believe in all the aromatherapy woo-woo, but having a clear scent cue for my brain to go "ah yes, this is the sleepy place" has been great.

also worth considering:
-a nice lumbar support pillow for chairs
-new bedsheets that are jersey knit
-one of those mermaid tail blankets

@TheGibson so in that vein:

-laneige's overnight lip sleeping mask is fucking great and actually sinks in to your lips while you sleep and is phenomenal.

-the elizavecca milky piggy carbonated mask is a nice fun time!

-a bottle of jojoba oil and some empty oil brush pens so you can make your own nail and cuticle oil pens to use. i didn't think it would help me tons until it DID and my hands are so much happier

-The Creme Shop x Sanrio handcreams are at CVS and are pretty darn excellent!

@TheGibson i'm going to guess that being a technomancer you probably already know about spudgers, which i think everyone should have, like, fifty of, because they're just so fucking useful

most of my recent under-50 fuck-everyone-needs-this purchases are skincare related i admit, but honestly, a nice chapstick for overnight, some good handcream and foot cream, and nail oil can be both relatively cheap and really nice little splurges that make you feel better.
