"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.

big fan of when they let ray toro play guitar on a stage in front of people

that part of vampires will never hurt you makes me feel like one of those werewolf images

please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.

And LISTEN, if you are hesitant. i know sunscreens can be pricey. and theres a lot of fearmongering around cheaper sunscreens. and i know they make your eyes sting. and i know it can feel gross is u have sensory issues. but please hear me out. invest in 1 big tube of cheaper sunscreen and 1 smaller tube of any 'new generation' sunscreen that won't sting (reddit is a great place to look for recs). both at least spf50 and pa+++. use the more expensive one for the UPPER PART OF YOUR FACE. and the cheaper one for the rest of your face and body. apply generously and reaply.

So @shaneholeander mentioned that you SHOULDN'T mix sunscreen with other makeup because it affects the SPF which is something I didn't know! Lol I was raised first with "if you're not white, you don't need sunscreen" advice and then later the foundation trick because every sunscreen made dark skin look weird and ashy. But there's enough of them now that you shouldn't have to do that even if you have darker skin 🙏🏽 so it shouldn't take too much experimentation to find one you can use unadulterated.
