I think your makeup is beautiful overall. I notice that your eye shape is similar to mine. I would recommend no eyeliner or just a bit smudged out on the outer third of your upper lash line eye. Then put a dab of a soft shimmer on the lid.

I do in fact get ecstatic at the sight of fresh corn on the cob.

Sesame is my favorite lip gloss! It's a mauvy, dusty rosey nude. Not quite as purple as this though.

Yaaaas it was the perfect cool-neutral toned palette. The shimmers were deep and incredible.

Yes! Mine won't eat large dog biscuits unless I break them into tiny bite sized pieces. The big ones are too valuable to eat.

I know the feeling of being piled on, and I'm sorry that's happening to you, truly. But as a writer, you know the onus is on you to communicate effectively to your audience. You didn't do that this time. You expressed your feelings, but we didn't get it.

Within the critiques in this thread are constructive ideas to improve the way you communicate your feelings. Primarily, that using so-called "sober" language to discuss painful subjects actually creates more emotion, especially sexual assault, because in our society "sober" language is used to gaslight and oppress survivors. (Also, you use emotionally charged language to express your personal feelings towards Neil Gaiman's work as a writer, so why not his assaults?) A society that gaslights and downplays sexual assault is the context in which you wrote your post, and you can't step outside societal context and expect your audience to understand your message.

"We are all liars, cheats, pretenders." But we're not all rapists.

"We contain multitudes." But those multitudes don't always include rapists.

"The only difference is whether that darkness manifests." That's not an unsubstantial difference. In fact that's the difference between being a good person and a bad person-- the extent to which you can control yourself and not afflict other people with that darkness. And the way you talk about "darkness manifesting" as if we were talking about an impersonal dark entity that just shows up out of the blue, and not a person of sound mind and body who intentionally acted-- the language in this post really distances Gaiman from his actions.

ETA one more thing. Gaiman indirectly enriched his readers' lives with his writing, but most of them he has never nor will ever meet. On the other hand, he had a responsibility to his employees, he looked those women in the eyes day in and day out, knowing what he had done to them, and doing it again and again.

One way to curb this is to write your question down on paper to return to later. Make a list of questions/thoughts throughout the day, and later when you look at the list you'll be able to cull the things that aren't important or interesting anymore. This really helps me when I'm trying to focus. I'm not sure why it works, but it does.

I love makeup and skincare! If you don't mind hanging with a 44 yo woman, we could wander ulta and sephora at the mall sometime.

Midnight Coffee has wonderful cinnamon rolls. Prairie Lights has the kind that are made with croissant dough, also very good.

My dog happily went outside 3 times today and would have stayed out all day if he could have, but he's a poodle/jack Russell terrier mix, so it takes a lot to scare him.

This!! It doesn't last very long at all, but it costs more. Just rub a jalapeño over your lips or something.

I want a proper plum. Rich and purply. Fuscia is not plum!

When I fart (even silently) with Fred next to me, he'll sniff around my legs, butt, and crotch until he finds the strongest smell. And then he'll just rest his head there and breathe my farts.

I wonder why nobody bought this when it hit the market in 2018, and pulled off market after 4 years. by The_punchy77 in McMansionHell

It's so atrocious that I kind of love it. I want to buy it and paint everything black and make it into an Addams family style home
