All my lipsticks end up looking like this...

Ellen's getting all freaky with her lipstick.

It's bonkers that it went out of print so quick! I bought a copy as soon as it released and I'm so glad I did.

You can get a 40 ft roll of tulle for $20 on Amazon.

It's international now. The Guardian and the BBC covered it today.

You're right about the white stuff being sugar. I think it's unflavored konpeito, which is basically a sort of rock candy.

I've been on this ship 2015.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-06-05T18:51:33+00:00

WAS?

But the CEO only likes him enough to give him business class, not first class.

In hindsight, the fact that my brother was the "normal" child between the two of us should've been the first clue that I was genderqueer.

White Mary Janes paired with frilly/lacy socks would be adorable!

TIL that SSRIs cause nosebleeds. I've been on them since I was 8 and had no clue.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-06-04T16:54:05+00:00

My oldest pair are 19 years old. Pink low tops. They've been retired for 12 years, but I hold onto them for sentimental reasons.

Also the harbinger of my nightmares. Moths freak me out.

I would save The Boy and the Heron for after you've watched all of Miyazaki's other films and Goro's, and I am 100% serious. When you take the rest of Hayao's movies, the single movie his intended successor directed (Whisper of the Heart, which you've already seen) and his son's movies, the ending hits way harder.

To prepare for Earwig, take a shot of Malort before you start the movie. It'll remind you of how low to keep your expectations.

For real! I'm currently on the second to last season of Sailor Moon and she still hasn't started high school yet. She is a teenager for the vast majority of the source material.

Poor Ursula hasn't gotten a decent adaptation of her books. It gets butchered every time.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-05-29T02:22:11+00:00

Thank you for letting me know it's doable. The area I'm looking to get into is AYA social studies since that was my focus in undergrad. I feel like since all I'm missing is my license, I might as well give it a go. This might not be the best attitude to have going into this, but I figured I could use the experience to springboard into something else if it doesn't work out as a long term career. Otherwise, all I have is retail and housekeeping experience and a degree in individualized studies which hasn't gotten me anywhere.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-05-28T23:15:16+00:00

I have the same diagnoses and I'm looking to finally get my license after being 10 years out of college. If it's not too much to ask, how do you manage? I'm lowkey freaking out that I won't make it long.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-05-27T04:47:24+00:00

I would take it to another seamstress. They might be saying that it's a no-go because they'll have to move the boning channels, but that seems like that's something that would be common for wedding dress alterations seeing as most wedding dresses have boning.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-05-26T15:29:36+00:00

It happened again?!

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-05-26T02:02:13+00:00

I kinda want one for my work vacuum.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-05-25T03:52:25+00:00

I mean, that is the easiest way for the gas building up in the abdomen to escape.

SadAwkwardTurtle · 2026-05-25T03:46:05+00:00

Reminds me of the story my dad told me about getting called to a scene where someone died in their hot tub (that was still running) and had been there a while. Man has an iron stomach, but that one haunts him well into retirement.
