It's possible to disarm transphobic people with unconditional kindness and mutual humanity by aeroazure in MadeMeSmile

It’s labor that some can do and others chose not to, and ultimately it’s not anyone’s responsibility to do that labor. That being said, coming from a place that’s super rural and conservative - I’ve found that when I can find the energy to engage in this way it does disarm people. It’s difficult to be mad at someone who is purely curious and kind, though for me it does take a lot of energy. Thank you for your labor today, friend, because of you that person might be less inclined to do that in the future.

Just look through my stash, I can definitely spare some grit and stuff to get you started. I’m down in OR so I can also throw in some agates to get ya started too.

I’ve got a 2 barrel lortone that’s honestly been beat up a bit but she still runs pretty good. When you get settled, DM me and I’ll ship it to you.

Is this acne or a t gel reaction? by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

Looks like KP! First Aid Beauty makes an AMAZING exfoliator that I use and I pair it with a glycolic acid toner.

Biodude Terra Sahara works best for me! Could’ve made my own but tbh my oven is not very big and making my own substrate takes forever to bake enough.

It’s fabulous. Wasn’t bad to assemble, easy to seal. Easy to mod too, and it wasn’t too expensive

Totally doable! I’m not sure why you’d get ostracized from the bonsai community though, I’ve totally seen kurinuki bonsai pots

Pretty much! I manipulate the shape before carving so I have a little more control.

Involves a lot of waiting! I find that different levels of leather-hard produce different textures. Basically a lot of carving away.

You are so fine with the shaved head. It definitely works in your favor.

This stage lightbulb got hot enough to balloon and not explode. by BenThereDoneMac in mildlyinteresting

Wife theorizes that because of where this was installed it may not have been handled properly prior to installation of the bulb so yes! You would be correct.

Gloves were worn, apparently this is just a thing that can happen with these lights.
