Just finished Annie Bot by Sierra Greer and liked it! I love how reading fiction males certain concepts click for me, this book worked that way and das still entertaining

Just wrapped up chain-gang all-stars and loved it!

Congratulations, your nails look great & that polish is gorgeous!!

Thank you! Brown nail polish is a surprising favorite for me and this one is gorgeous 😊

Note that my point was that "this is not as bad as this awful other thing I know about" is not really how I would go about qualifying sexual harassment. You have zero clue of my opinion about if musk sexually harassed AOC or not. I, on the other hand, am quite certain you're an entitled asshole lol

I am not sure that harassment is measured on a relative scale though. "There's way worse out there" does not remove from how objectively bad this is

Yeah, that's true, that's the only thing that actually bothers. I've started using the Essie smooth-e base coat which is quite "milky" so it sort of color corrects it enough. I think there's bases that are specifically meant to do this, and you can probably use a sheer polish to achieve the same! All in all with what I hear about the processes to whiten the nail, color correcting is a better long term option I think

Wearing no base coat may be worse, in my experience. I think some colors are just worst offenders than others, like more pigmented cremes versus glitters or jellies. I find that the yellowing sorts itself out if I e.g. wear less-staining polishes for a while, but it's not like I'm tracking it super closely. I also find that wearing blurring base coats or opposite-toned sheers kind of evens out the staining and that's enough for it to not bother me, but honestly. My nails are always painted so it's not like I would even notice it 😅

Nice, that's really good to hear! I read that post too and found it quite compelling. Ty for the update and, well, happy new year!!

Without the flash, for reference! I quite like how these polishes sparkle off of regular overhead light but in pictures I can only get "cartoonishly bright" or "kinda bland white noise-ish" 🤷

On mastodon a lot of instances that have chosen to wait and see have found that there's enough on threads to started defederating; example here.

Yessss 💖

Can't beat these warm almost black polishes 😻 and honestly it looks super neat; these dark creamy finishes show every tiny little flaw!

That's great (and, as someone who started a no buy, also terrible lol)!

Ty for the update! I do think that meta has enough going on in threads for it to fail our ToS (e.g. unmoderated alt-right content) so I am not in full agreement of the "wait and see" approach; and additionally, as you mention, user level blocking doesn't exactly do much for the data harvesting processes they're infamous for. So I'd rather the preemptive block. But I am ok with a wait and see approach as long as we're able to act fast as soon as they inevitably do another war crime or whatever 😅

That's a really nice gift, that set is beautiful! I am sure she will love it!

Omg the compression artifacts are hardcore. But they don't really interfere with the nail polish part of the picture afaict so I'll leave it as is 😅

Hoping that we do defederate!

Lmao if you asked me why I like that movie so much I would basically write the same comment you did

Ty, I did and even before attempting to login I get a timeout so it's clearly not related to this instance. I'll try another app or reach out to jerboa directly!
