so i havent made an Original Post in quite a while but i really dislike most beardcare advice, cause it's usually all about "taming" the beard, and that's just not gonna work.

The amount of times where I've seen advice that has "use a straightener" as like tip number 5 in their list, is Too Many.

Also every time I see some kinda company go "don't use normal hair shampoo and conditioner on your beard! it's got bad stuff! use our product instead!" and then you look up the ingredients of their product and it's Literally Worse. i am Begging curly beard folks to look up the curly girl method Please

Anyways,, should i make a Full Post with Proper beard care advice? cause it pains me to see those "my face is scratchy as hell but i look cool" memes (if this is your situation i'm so sorry for you, your facial hair is probably drier than a desert)

my credentials: i have a Full beard, my face is not scratchy, my partners (claim to) enjoy messing with it and it has not yet been a kiss deterrent, i get compliments from strangers about how fancy the curls in my beard look

There’s something neat about sitting down and reading someone’s meta for a show you have no intention of watching at length. It’s like hot cocoa. Yes, please tell me the true meaning of this multiseason TV show I’ve seen 1.5 episodes of. I’ll happily take all the spoilers to watch the care and joy people put into dissecting media.

it may be the aroace in me talking but i think its kind of ridiculous how people think romantic partners should always come before friends no matter what

My The Locked Tomb hot take: I don't think perfect lyctorhood is possible. I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect lyctorhood that's inherently perfectly balanced. I think lyctorhoods are about relationships (in a series explicitly about the "horrors of love") and about codependency and about relationships shaped by empire.

Like I generally think we're going to get a bittersweet, hopeful ending for Gideon and Harrow and their relationship but I don't think it'll be in a perfect lyctorhood. To me, that would be equivalent of them having a perfect relationship where they never hurt each other in mundane ways.

I sometimes wonder if they'll break the soul-bond and start afresh but I tend to lean towards "mutually choosing exactly how to eat parts of each other in exchange" just because I feel like that's better at literalizing the emotional codependency.

have you ever wished your cat was stupider and hungrier?

sickening that when i’m in bed every morning i have to get up. unfair. eunuchs should be feeding me grapes instead i think

every time i see the "bees have 3 genders" post i get a little bit closer to becoming the joker. that explanation makes no goddamn sense and i'm saying this as a beekeeper.

not gonna go do a full rant here but ive seen it way too many times to not make this grumbly post.

bees dont work like that! drones literally are males! workers and queens are both females! that's how their whole internal system is set up! the queen just got special food and also a whole spermatheca from her "bridal trip"! that's the difference! she still started out the same way as a worker larva!

okay grumbles are over for now, if you ask me about this be prepared for a powerpoint that i Will make. because i have too many beekeeping resources and also opinions

Look at this gremlin we found on the basement
