lol me when i fuck up the eyeliner

me at Sephora lmao

(i have makeup at home)

i didn’t get the pun at first and thought this was just an aggressive dunk on hummus haha

instructions unclear, the corvids have now opened a beak salon and are gluing rhinestones to their beak extensions

infuriating. i hope you’re able to ultimately navigate it, though i wish you didn’t have to

ignore the horde of assholes mindlessly downvoting. it’s good that you’ve found improvement from prayer. i hope it continues to bring you what you were looking for.

it depends. some people need more frequent than average washing, some need less. it’s worth switching up your routine to see if it causes improvement. good luck!

even if it’s rooted in ignorance, it’s not the worst strategy for healthy eating. things that contain harmless but “chemical-sounding” things like carageenan, EDTA, methylcellulose, etc. tend to be junk foods engineered to be hyperpalatable calorie bombs.

if “I’ll stick to ingredients I know” means someone starts eating more fruits and vegetables, beans, whole grains, etc. they’re most likely going to start feeling better.

good results can come from flawed strategies, and people who use flawed strategies are probably more likely to want to learn stuff when they’re not being attacked (not that I’m a complete saint in that department I’m still working on being less judgmental myself)

you do sound genuinely drinks-mindful. a rare but real skill! i used to have it, then kinda lost it (and my tolerance cuz I’m not 25 anymore ☹️), and decided eh fuck it i’d rather just quit than put in the effort to determine what risk level I’m still cool with lol

self awareness is absolutely applicable to drinking and imho moderate ethanol is one of the best ways to nuke the suck level of chores :)

Raising the head of my mattress ≥30° improved my sleep so much that I’ve made more life progress in the last 2 years than I have in decades.

I’ve had sleep problems my whole life (even as an infant). Did a home sleep test for obstructive sleep apnea, was negative so was sent to the in-person sleep lab. Got wires glued all over my head and did the full night + several naps the next day of testing. Nothing. No cycle dysregulation, no narcolepsy. Resigned myself to “guess I just suck at sleeping.”

A few months later I get an awful ear infection and go to an ENT. Something I mention (I forget what) leads him to check for a deviated septum (don’t have that either). BUT! He noticed acid damage in the back of my throat.

I have nighttime acid reflux that was not bad enough to notice, but just bad enough to disrupt my sleep.

Propping up my torso slightly and minor dietary changes were all it took to stop my stomach from slightly drowning me in acid every single night. FUCK I wish I had figured this out sooner.

currently doing my damndest to floss every day myself 😭

do absolutely everything you possibly can to protect your dental health

teeth do not grow back

whatever you’re facing in life, facing it with dental issues is going to make it so so so much worse

& if you’re already brushing twice a day and flossing once a day or anywhere close, be extremely proud of that and don’t ever let anything make you give it up

no matter who you are or what you’ve done you deserve a healthy mouth
