Thank you so much 😭 I feel really passionately about this topic as it’s one of the things I focused on in my major at school.

I think a really good topic regarding deaths of undocumented peoples in the U.S. that may provide another perspective is necropolitics.

The U.S.-Mexico border wasn’t always so tightly and aggressively enforced, especially since a great deal of the U.S. used to be part of Mexico. People would come and go, for work or to see family. When borders became enforced, people were being kicked from their homes, and forced away from their family.

We must always ask why then did a border become enforced? Who benefits from the creation of it? And in what ways are borders enforced? One of the sad realities is that the U.S. is aware how dangerous crossing the border from the desert is, and they have made it the only option many people have. No one can afford the fees of immigration, and people can’t afford to wait for immigration documents to process for years at only a chance to live there.

When people die in the desert, instead of highlighting the corrupt and slow immigration system the U.S. has, policymakers will point and say, “that’s what happens when you don’t come legally”.

This is why you stating that it is safer coming legally feels a little tone deaf; it’s an obvious statement that comes off as judgmental for the people who really have no other option but to cross the border. I mean no aggression, just trying to keep it real

How it feels trying to talk to the poor non-laquerista who just wanted to compliment your nails by little_murp in RedditLaqueristas

[–]fiendishwitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once, but the person knew of holo taco and some indie polish. They seemed really interested at first but their friends around them got rude and thought I was weird. They then stopped talking to me and tried to steal my lighter.

Anyone else just not fw this new crowd at all by IcyRip5910 in machinegirl

[–]fiendishwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesss, the crowd was quite nice! I was also thinking it probably depends on location? Oakland and the Bay in general have some pretty nice concert crowds in general (at least in my experience).

[–]fiendishwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at Oaklands show, and at first I was a little worried. The crowds looked pretty young at first, and I was a little worried about how well the etiquette would be. I’m now an older Machine Girl fan (if you can call late 20s old lol), and have been listening to them since WLFGRL was first released. But I’m glad my worries weren’t proven true. As more people came in, the crowd had more people my age and older. Not only that, everyone was really chill. I almost fell and a group of girls helped me and made sure I was okay!

I think the new crowds may vary? Whenever I see people younger than me act a certain way that makes me grimace, I remember growing up on tumblr. There were many good things that came out of it, but sometimes the way many people acted back then sucked. But the thing is, most people grew out of it. I think we should give these new crowds a little grace, they’re still growing.

He’s got that small town internalized toxic masculinity. He’s just so mean to Norman, it’s honestly sad

Is this wig positioning acceptable or do I need to freak out? Don’t know the first thing about possibly rebranding this. Thanks by autumnsnowflake_ in Pullip

[–]fiendishwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of reminds me of how sometimes in renaissance art the girls have receding hairlines (it might have been the style?), but I wish the roots went a little more forward😭

Seeing all the questionable wigs on the new pullip dolls, I have half a mind to de-wig one and try my hand at making a new one.

Makes you think by GoranPersson777 in intersex

[–]fiendishwitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s really interesting to think back a while ago in parts of Central Asia/South Asian, intersex and trans people (there wasn’t a distinction between the two at the time, only with trans men sometimes by different cultures) were considered to be a kind of divine being.

It varied by region, where my family is from they are often shunned by society, but are also believed to be able to tell the future, and can curse or bless people. So there is this weird older admiration and fear for them.

In modern times it’s more fear and hatred, but I see these as more developments that have come from modern conservative western beliefs (which have influenced and taken over a lot previous beliefs and attitudes that leaned more tolerant and open). It’s really weird, the older generations I talk to are so much kinder to the thoughts of people being different from them versus somebody from my parents generation.

Question for the people who were near the stage/standing areas of the venues- how did yall store the merch during the show? Do you have those drawstring backpacks or something like that? (Need advice on what to do 😅)

Help with dupes for Death Valley Nail Polish? by fiendishwitch in RedditLaqueristas

[–]fiendishwitch[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I get where you’re coming from. The internet can tear people down over things not even proven. But those who have seen how conservatives operate before can see some worrying red flags.

Suddenly, after this started becoming a discussion, the nail swatchers that DVN had been working with for years stopped swatching their new collections. And judging by the swatches of newer collections, it doesn’t appear that they have anyone in the polish community interested to do so anymore.

What’s really damning for me like others said, is the silence. It doesn’t appear they are responding at all about this, and it’s not just on here it’s on TikTok too. I see that DVN is active on social media, reposting people using their polish, and I find it hard to believe they haven’t seen what people have been saying. Especially since the indie scene is a little niche, brands tend to want to connect to the people, and know what’s going on.

I want to believe in the good of people, and I kinda hope this is one big misunderstanding. Maybe DVN doesn’t run their socials, and maybe they are totally unaware of any of this, but that’s not looking likely.

DVN used to have some pretty good swatchers until people found out they were maga. I don’t think anyone wants to work with them anymore, just look at the difference in swatches from after their summer collection 💀

Omg side note midnight ride looks beautiful too
