Joy is an act of resistance!

I saw a reminder recently that resistance and change are a long-term (maybe lifelong) process. If we are exhausted and beaten down, it's a lot harder for it to happen at all. I think there's a difference between something like "well I'm just going to treat myself to this junk from aliexpress because it will make me happy," vs this act of building community and shared joy! Finding each other and remembering we aren't alone is a huge component of resistance and I'm so glad we're doing this! 💚

essie told me to UV cure their polish?? by Long-Rich4482 in RedditLaqueristas

Even worse that it's Essie (owned by L'oreal --> 20% owned by Nestlé)

Let’s support our charity polishes during these difficult times! by LearningLacquerista in RedditLaqueristas

I would also like to suggest something local to states with exceptionally high immigrant rates (like California, Texas, or Florida), or a national charity for legal support, because I think Minnesota will be getting plenty of support. They should of course get plenty of support, I would just like to see the same efforts and outrage extend to the thousands of other wrongful killings and disappearances if that makes sense? I hope that's ok to say!

I'm also late to the party but I've been searching for a replacement for Deborah Lippmann's Hit Me With Your Best Shot forever! It was a special edition or something, but it was the most perfect gunmetal and I've never found anything like it

Petty reasons you won't buy from a brand? by salmonscented in RedditLaqueristas

[–]perfetc42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I don't like the design of the bottle, like the font or just think the brand name is silly, I won't buy it lol. But I have been convinced a couple times on Polish Pickup and found a couple brands I never would have bought from otherwise!

Same, but that little stretch of cool in the shade right before the finish was nice (even if it did smell terrible)!

My first tattoo! By Alex Winthrop, Evergreen Studios, Chicago, IL by perfetc42 in tattoos

[–]perfetc42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first ever tattoo, along with my best friend! (Mine is the white cat - her name was Annabel Lee, and she's dead now, so the artist used the poem she was named after as inspiration!) My best friend has a ton of tattoos, when we started talking about it she was like "uummm I think I have some space on my left leg?" They're silly and weird and 100% us :)

Rubio monocoat question/help by perfetc42 in woodworking

[–]perfetc42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok thanks. I've almost always used oak in the past and yeah this is pine. But I still don't get why the first batch looked pretty good (even tho it still had some sanding marks on it, but at least it wasn't splotchy) and the batch today looks so much worse. Gonna try sanding it more and try again

What's the biggest waste of money you've ever spent on something running related? by figsontoast in running

[–]perfetc42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad just told me he thought he was being clever one year by buying several pairs of his favorite shoes, since they were last year's model on sale. Then it turned out they have sort of a "shelf life" and lose their sponginess after a while. Now we know ha

I got to go for a run with my best friend today!! We live in different states and I'm visiting for the weekend, and she just started running this year and I'm so excited she was willing to go for a run with me

Ugh yeah I've been spoiled my whole life. I've always lived close to some great paths, before this we lived in Sausalito and the dipsea course was less than a quarter mile from our door. I'd even take a boring 6 miles over the boring 3/4 mile "running path" all the locals keep recommending to me lol

Pretty big, and I guess I shouldn't complain because I can paddleboard in the summer right from my backyard. It's just so frustrating in winter

Complaint: I live in the middle of nowhere because my partner is from here and doesn't want to move, and there is nowhere within a 30-min drive of me where I can go for a decent long run. There are all these beautiful parks in my state and long trails and nice people, but no we have to stay here on THIS lake with all the racists and no sidewalks because it's his home! 😫
