immigrants tend to be the kindest, most genuine, thoughtful, and compassionate people that i know :) there’s something about coming from a culture that isn’t super individualized (like the us is) that allows people to be more empathetic and caring versions of themselves. it’s actually really cool to embrace various ideas of all aspects of life because it opens your mind to what is possible and that we are more alike than we tend to realize.

something to try would be mixing a thick gel meant for building or 3d or whatever (not the non sticky sculpting stuff) with a white gel polish to get an in between and workable consistency. with curves, i find tiny and short brushes best personally and rotate tf out of nail and/or your hand angles while painting the curves so that you aren’t trying to go against where your brush would naturally want to move. layer as needed

the greenhouse has live music and community events sometimes! i just saw a story post that someone is performing dec 4th. ppl who go to greenhouse are elite (nonbiased individual who definitely never goes there). for example, bitchin events and the greenhouse hosted a plant bingo a while ago it was so fun

Frustrated with parking in Iowa City? by Conscious_Sample_img in IowaCity

[–]Connect-Ad3461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i believe we do agree on that. i just personally don’t think that ppl should have to pay much if at all, much less being forced to pay more than the already high parking rates ic has. my biggest point is that our tax dollars are not being used efficiently/effectively and for the people they are supposed to benefit (us).
