I did my nails last night for the first time in like... months. Felt nice even if it was ignoring everything else.

Lemon Drop nail art, inspired by Golden Hour: pt 3/Ateez

A white person's hand, holding a bottle of yellow nail polish in order to display the nail art. Looks like lemon slices and 70s inspired yellow/white/orange curvy stripes.

I know I te hnically volunteered to stay so it's my fault but HOOOOO BOYYYY 11 hours on a Wednesday fucking sucks, my guy.

I know this article is kinda old now but every time I see one like it I genuinely have to ask... was anyone surprised?
I know we need to find the facts and make them accessible but I really don't think anyone is surprised.

The Trump administration knew that the vast majority of the 230+ Venezuelan immigrants it sent to El Salvador in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S. before it labeled them as terrorists and deported them, according to Homeland Security data.

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes

Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

This is my Grandma Light. She has lived an incredibly difficult life. My earliest memories are of making tortillas with her and her mother, my Ya-Ya. I am always proud of my Mexican heritage and grateful for the strength of those women.

I waited too long deciding.... There was a Princess Bride themed yarn advent calendar made by an indie dyer and I SHOULDVE JUST GOTTEN IT but alas... I held the tab too long for nothing. It is now sold out.

I made the "Itallian Penicillin" soup that was semi viral (or at least all over my FYP this month) with what I had and it turned out so fucking good. 10/10 will do again. (carrots, onions, bell peppers, lentils, mushroom bullion).

The construction at work has been non stop for 3 ish years and this week is right behind our area in the cleanroom which is very distracting with their power tools shaking everything....

I was never really a follower of his but he just continues to dig such a gross hole for himself and it's fine he can just sit there and rot.

"This is something you should discuss with the team at large, being prepared is always an advantage in emergencies!" No SHIT, Mr. I've been head of security less than a year & didn't know our plant emergency policies in an actual emergency. Some of us pay attention!
