My Bones Are Gone

Your 20s are not about getting your life together they're about learning to escape the self imposed torture labyrinth you've built inside your own head

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.

hey white people . if u dont know how to pronounce an ethnic persons name *google it* or if its someone ur talking directly to *ask them*. dont fucking do that "erm i dont know how to pronounce but __" or "im gonna butcher this haha" or "im not even gonna bother trying" . ur not funny. do u know what poc think when they hear u saying that ? u sound like a loser asshole and we dont want to spend time with u . im so fucking tired of watching youtube videos about media from my country and hearing those phrases. im tired of people saying that to my face . i respect someone who clearly looked it up and is tryong but says my name wrong over someone who just goes with whatever bad first guess they had without trying. u have too many resources at ur disposal to keep doing this. for the love of god just Fucking Try. if ur confused Just Try.

I highly recommend Forvo.com, the website where native speakers of a language contribute their time and voices to read words and names in their own language. It is a fantastic way to expand your world, open up your ears, and it's way more likely to nab a hit than just googling.

wow , I didn't know this existed, thanks so much for sharing the resource !! I will absolutely be using it now too 🖤

tumblr has reached the point where every time it goes down i genuinely get scared shes gone forever. i was pressing refresh like a defibrillator. my geriatric social media website where every time she falls over im like oh god please dont let it be today

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

Our age of plastics is collapsing

Amazing moments in Dads: my friend’s dad’s critique of Frankenstein was, “I just don’t think the author had read science fiction before.”
