#this is timely

You're welcome to watch the whole ep (it's the Monkees, who wouldn't want to?) but the interview is VERY interesting, esp a remark Micky makes regarding the media skewing stories to fit a narrative:

"There haven't really been riots. They've been, in actuality, since I was there, there've been demonstrations. A lot of people--journalists--don't know how to spell demonstrations, so they use the word riot 'cause it only has four letters."

Skip to 21:45 for just the interview.

Well, so far so good. Garnet was at least grateful for that much. Really, though, she knew she probably didn’t have to worry about talking with Peridot. Her friend usually was pretty happy to see her. A part of her did feel bad that she’d interrupted what would have been a meep morp session, but it sounded like Peridot hadn’t been making much headway there. Therefore it was fine.

“Too bad about your meep morp inspiration. I’m sure you’ll come up with something good for one soon, though,” she said. “And I’d love to sit. It’s probably going to be a bit of a long conversation.” Probably. The length all had to do with how well the conversation initially went.

After taking a seat on the offered spot beside Peridot, Garnet took a moment to collect her thoughts again. The issue was an old one. She would never have even thought of it again if she hadn’t been talking with Steven.

“I know this is a bit out of the blue. Steven and I were just talking earlier about how far all of us have come since we were dealing with the Cluster so long ago, That got me thinking about what happened on the moon base,” she explained. Her head ducked down a bit for a moment. Truthfully, she wasn’t even sure if Peridot held this against her. She didn’t seem to. That was partly why Garnet still wanted to cover the topic at all. She wanted to make sure things were okay.

“Specifically how I reacted to your mistake. Peridot, I... I overreacted back then. And I realized I never apologized for that,” she said. She lifted her head again and looked straight at Peridot, then raised one hand to remove her visor. In her heart, Garnet knew she should have apologized much sooner than this. Peridot deserved that, and yet... she’d never done it.

okay, so if we are literally asking, which would you choose to wear, if you could only wear one, I’d have to go with shoes because I want to keep feet and I’m soon going to have 4 miles of walking as part of my daily commute. But I’m going to assume you mean ... recreationally, would I choose to continue getting really fun/flashy shoes (a newer bad behavior) or expand my nail polish collection (which is ridiculous and probably pushing 2500 bottles), and that’s a lot harder. (I’m not including expensive but ultimately pretty staid work shoes bc well made and comfortable plain black heels that stand up to 8 hours of teaching cost $$, at least in my experience *clings to dansko bett*). 

Little by little, the nail polish is certainly more expensive as a whole but in individual purchases feels less indulgent. On the other hand, though I have fewer fancy shoes, I wear them as a whole less often than polish, which I’ve worn every day but maybe 2 for the last 8 years or so. 

something WHAT???
