*at this point. whoops

but my hair is so unfussy right now that if I spray it with water and brush it back it (quickly) air dries into a nice shape 90% of the time. maybe a little dry shampoo as needed. long hair will not cooperate with me like that even if I go for a boring un-layered cut -_-

other factors considered I feel like longer hair might actually move the needle closer to Peak Androgyny at this (which is ironic because I used to have dysphoria nightmares about accidentally growing my hair out lol) but the maintenance... is that worth it...

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

It doesn't make any sense to conceive of due process as a right that individual people can have or not have at all tbh. Bad framing from the start. Due process is a restriction on the government's actions, and by definition it applies to either everyone or no one.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

"interesting, technically impressive, and thematically complicated" getting telephone'd into "acceptable" is really something lol

haunted by a short story I read a few days ago that described someone as having "hair swept back like bowie"... that could mean like twelve different hairstyles

it does not help how many people seem to use their personal websites mostly for talking about the process of making and maintaining a personal website

they make froot loops with marshmallows now but that just feels wrong to me. part of the deal you make with lucky charms is that you'll eat so many plain oats in exchange for the sugary bits mixed in. it's a delicate ecosystem

also I forgot I threw "Erwartungskonformität" on the pile which is obviously not an english word but it tickled me enough to write it down. translates to "expectation conformity," referring to a principle of user design, which I guess means it's gotta be german

a few years ago I started writing down every word or phrase I encounter while reading that I either don't know the definition of or haven't seen before. now I have roughly 3000 entries and no idea what to do with them lol
