it’s a permanent scar kinda day

you actually don’t have to make yourself smaller you can just wear the thing

Replying to @sams_siren_scream my mom woke up or i would’ve kept going. i don’t want to fight with mp, you don’t have to pick sides, it’s not them vs me (or anyone). not naming names in her vid wasn’t a kindness, it painted *all* leftists talking about the election/left-leaning issues/project 2025 with the same brush & sowed seeds of doubt about folks’ intentions. i agree that we should all be discerning about where you get our information from. being a contrarian does not an informed opinion make.

clock daddy is messyyyy

Replying to @Madeleine White i appreciate the desire to create a size inclusive line (beyond being the right thing to do, it also makes financial sense as 70% of women wear a size 14+) so in the spirit of learning, here’s a little explainer about the difference between straight and plus sizes — you don’t know till you know! the term “size inclusive” means something different to everyone, but there is no definition where it excludes plus sizes entirely. understanding the difference in how patterns are graded is a great first step.

things that have saved my 42 year old cpap-using side-sleeping face: stop squishing my skin in my sleep & hydrate hydrate hydrate (and if my skin is having trouble with the hydration part because of the aging part, it’s okay to get some hormonal help) ft: a side sleeper skincare pillow (brand unknown), @Alloy Women’s Health m4 (add’l info in m’bio for my 35+ babes) & @Experiment Beauty super saturated (the goat hydrating serum)

i did walk her right over to stylevana to pick up some korean sunscreen (beauty of joseon & isintree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel, if you’re curious) #SkinCare101 #myskincareroutine #beginnerskincare #over30 #over40

Replying to @Taco.and.Nadine if you can’t do enough, do something p.s. in this house, we don’t shame individuals for where they shop - we save that ire for the corporations & the politicians & the system itself.

✨refocusing✨

Replying to @Lindsay Ann i’m a creature of habit, so it takes a lot for something new to earn a spot in the routine (i’ve been using @Alloy Women’s Health M4 for about 7 months, the new @currentbody mask for just over a month consistently, and @Dr. Diamond’s Metacine for a couple weeks — all are having sales right now, codes are in the place you’d expect them to be)

HELP they all have sentimental stories i can’t pick

this is my signature dish of the season & the star of the sides. (but it’s not the main character — it knows its place & is pitch perfect in a supporting role.) despite all the different ingredients, it’s very mellow & begs not to be oversalted. the flavor can vary widely depending on the carrots, so TASTE AND ADJUST AND TASTE AND ADJUST AND TASTE AGAIN. the recipe is a just starting point, make it yours. (jotted down & adapted from a friendsgiving segment i heard on NPR over a decade ago) INGREDIENTS 2 lb. carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 Tbs. butter, cut into 2 pieces
2 Tbs. heavy cream
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1-1/2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp. finely grated orange zest @Josu Salts Spicy Citrus Salt and/or Kosher salt 
Hot sauce to taste DIRECTIONS Put the carrots in a saucepan with enough cool water to cover by at least 1 inch. Add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and cook at a gentle boil until the carrots can be easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Drain well in a colander, letting the steam rise for a few minutes. Heat the butter, cream, oil, mint, orange zest, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a dash of hot sauce in the saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. For a rustic texture, return the carrots to the pan and mash with a potato masher to the consistency you like. For a smooth texture, purée the carrots in a food processor until smooth and then add them to the pan, stirring well to combine. Season to taste with Spicy Citrus salt, more orange zest, mint and/or hot sauce before serving. #sidedish #vegetarianrecipe #plantbased #EasyRecipe

i’m really holding space for the lyrics of defying gravity…and the wizard and i, and i’m not that girl, and no one mourns the wicked, and the whole damn thing — i cannot imagine how obsessed i would’ve been if it came out during my formative years
