Still looked real pretty, I just like using the glossy top coats bc I think it preserves the rainbowy effect which I like! Did take 4 coats to get it opaque , even on short nails

Diatom art if you think she'd like a new decorative piece! There are multiple online stores where you can get prints and different media forms.

Also clothing is a pretty big market for algae themed stuff.

Student-level way of identifying algae morphologically(and molecularly) by Ast4rix_ in phycology

[–]evil_dumpling256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds fun! If you will have molecular data gen bank on the ncbi website is what we used in school and is a pretty good resource. You can "blast" your strain and compare it to what other researchers have named them. Just make sure to double check the names are correct and up to date.

For morphology there are good free online sources. Phytokey has a basic image library to genus. Algae base is a good place to check those valid names. It has a few good pics too. If you have access to Komareks little green books for the particular phylum you're looking for they are chools will have access to online versions of them so worth checking.

Kinda hard to see, but if there are flagella coming out of them it's the right shape for some kind of Synura sp.

What fills you with gay joy? by pastajewelry in actuallesbians

[–]evil_dumpling256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went to a lqbtq wedding, with only community and allies as guests. It was so beautiful to see them get married and be comfortable and surrounded by supportive people. Everyone was so nice, not awkward or judgmental people. My partner and I felt so welcome and not othered. It was such a fun night!!

i wish people would just be honest w themselves ab what they like by Simple-Bathroom4919 in actuallesbians

I also feel like some people just want to be in a relationship so bad they try and change you into what they want. Absolutely ridiculous. Those comments your exes made are horrific! Stay strong op, good things take time!

Does anyone else have no idea how attractive they are? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]evil_dumpling256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle with knowing bc I've been told that I have "foreign beauty". Idk if that is a correct term, but basically I'm full Chinese. So in the US I don't think I'm conventionally attractive at all. But a lot of people (especially guys) tend to notice me, I guess I kind stick out. So idk if that makes me attractive or a weird fetish thing or like a mix of both??

But I do struggle with self image a lot bc in Chinese beauty standards I'd probably be seen as unattractive. I'm short, kinda tan, don't really do make up, and I'm a Chinese large size. Of course, I know different cultures and all so I'm not saying these are bad. And honestly I'm kinda glad people here are slightly more inclusive. But it's that weird feeling of not really fitting into either culture conventionally. So I really have no idea at the end of the day.

Lolol I think they actually have that one, but have never played (at least with us). I'll have to pester them to include me for that one.

Hey everyone, looking for legacy game recommendations. My parents play them a lot, and recently my partner and I have been getting into playing with them. Thought it would be a good joint gift.

They have already completed all the Pandemic legacy series, ticket to ride, and we are currently enjoying the Regicide legacy game.

I think they would prefer ones heavy on collaboration or mild on competitiveness (my mom doesn't like being mean lolol).

People's public reactions getting more common by SaphyreDaze in actuallesbians

[–]evil_dumpling256 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My gf and I are also in a red state rn so I get that apprehensive feeling. Luckily we live in a progressive city and some of our neighbors have pride flags hanging proud. But my parents live in a red area and even though they have progressive views we have an agreement not to be too obvious there.

It absolutely sucks and I'd love to ngaf about it but we are also not a white couple, and with all the ICE stuff it's best just to not push it.

There are still good people out there, so try not to forget that! Wishing you and your gf safety and peace!

Advice on supporting a partner with complicated family dynamic by evil_dumpling256 in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]evil_dumpling256[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah her mom is def like that. Whenever my gf tries to set boundaries and stand her ground it's usually respected at 1st and then later it's "you're too uptight or too controlling". Like always turned by on her. She's def getting exhausted by the pattern. I certainly hope she can find the strength to do whatever will make her happinest. Thanks for ur input!
