ugly bag of mostly water
don't keep sweatin' what I do 'cause I'm gonna be just fine
12 minutes to get to Aldi, and when I'm done there, just a few more minutes to get to Giant for the things I don't get at Aldi.
I'm not OP but here's a sweet potato & lentil turkey chili that I make in the crock pot. It's easy and really good!
Any advice about starting tretinoin?
Hey friends. I've recently realized that what I thought were freckles is actually melasma, and my dermatologist has prescribed me tretinoin for it. I have very pale skin, generally normal in the winter and a little oilier in the T-zone during the summer, but it can dry out really badly with things like AHA. From what I've heard, tret is pretty drying. My dermatologist recommended that I start with applying it only two nights a week, and using a pea-sized amount mixed into my moisturizer. I use the Tatcha Water Cream moisturizer, which is pretty light and has been great for me, but with tret I'm wondering if I'll need a heavier moisturizer. I'm also worried that my usual double-cleansing will worsen the dryness from tret. I double-cleanse with an oil balm to remove my mineral sunblock, then with the Tatcha Rice Wash to get rid of the sunblock & oil balm residue. But I'm thinking the rice wash might be irritating because it's got a (mild) physical exfoliant, so maybe I need to find something else for my second cleanse?
Does anyone have any experiences to share about dryness on tret, or just starting tret in general? Anything I should be aware of? I'm weirdly nervous about it!
That's gonna be gorgeous, please post pics when it's done!
Baked chicken breasts with seasoning of your choice (tonight I'm planning to do a blend of smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper)
Salad (mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado; for dressing I do blood orange olive oil with fig balsamic vinegar)
Farro cooked in spiced chicken broth (I use reduced-sodium broth and add paprika and a small amount of onion and garlic powders)
Freshly brewed iced tea with mint
Don't know. A bar I used to go to had a hefeweizen called Wheaty McWheatface, which I thought was funny
I don't want osteoporosis like my mom, so I lift heavy to build bone density. Also it makes me feel like a beast which I love.
I had surgery a year ago to fix a torn labrum in my right hip, plus shave down a bone deformity. There was a significant chance that the surgery might not work - statistically the probability of success goes down the older you are, and I'm in my forties. Anyway I had the one-year follow-up with my surgeon today and he's super happy with how I'm doing. I've noticed a significant decrease in pain and an improvement in functionality, and he says that bodes well for my long-term success. And he said I can increase my weightlifting more aggressively than I have been (I've been a little paranoid about hurting my hip), which was great to hear!
Man I'm always grateful of the work contractors do but they do tend to leave a mess, don't they!

Which one should I go with?
Are gifs broken?
Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?
Edit: solved by user merde alors:
>did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?
Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.
The Visitor
I recently had surgery and while I recover, I've been doing a DS9 rewatch. I just watched The Visitor and I swear, no matter how many times I see this episode, it's always a gut punch. What a beautiful, sad story. Is it even possible to watch it without crying? I almost skipped it because I didn't want to cry today :'(
Update on my favorite lady 💚
A few weeks ago I posted that my greyhound Greta was in the hospital, and so many of you left such nice comments and well wishes - thank you! She's been back home for a couple weeks now and is doing great.
Here she is with her latest bandage (featuring a G💚 decoration because my vet's office is the best!):

Decrease swipe sensitivity, and add vote coloration?
Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?
Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven't voted. Often if I'm reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can't remember if I've voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!
Help me get glass skin in my forties!
I've always had pretty nice, low-maintenance skin but now that I'm in my forties I find it needs extra attention. One thing I'd really like to improve is getting the glassy look. It seems like most women who achieve this are pretty young and/or on tret. I don't want to try tret because I'm very pale and already sun-sensitive. (At this point I've lost count of how many atypical things my dermatologist has lopped off, despite religiously using mineral sunscreen!)
My current skincare routine is here. It's definitely made a difference for me but I'm looking to refine it.
What can I tweak to get glass skin? Or is it even possible at my age without tret?
