if ur not a good liar you really should practice with your friends immediately and naturally giving a fake name, fake hometown, job, school major, etc. so when random men hit you up about your fucking memoir on public transit you can give them nothing to be anxious about I’m serious

Having a fallback identity in case of People You Don’t Want To Know Your Name (which includes creeps on public transit, missionaries, Greenpeace, door-to-door salespeople, The person from your past that hasn’t reconized you yet, and that one neighbor), and practicing with your friends and/or significant other is important too, so they don’t blow your cover and so you have a subtle way of telling them you are uncomfortable with this person.

For instance, my Finace knows if I introduce myself as “Anna” something’s wrong and to not contradict me/possibly we will be leaving suddenly.

raptor_rehab_of_kentucky A.J., one of our educational Barn Owls, likes to supervise while we clean his mew enclosure. He is doing something called “Toe Dusting”. It is a territorial and sometimes defensive dance to make sure we know that this is his territory. 

I’m writing a short story with a non binary protagonist. But I’m not sure which sentence is correct, grammatically. “They couldn’t bring themselves to enter town” vs “They couldn’t bring theirself to enter town” got any tips? I’m iffy on the diffy.

glumshoe:

I use “themself”.

“Themself” technically isn’t a word, but neither is “them” technically applicable to a single person. Languages and grammar are malleable. Use “themself”. 

PSA: Don’t put fucking bergamot on your skin or in your soap.

I’ve been seeing a lot of this shit lately.

Apparently bergamot is getting popular. I figure now’s a good time to address the issue.

Bergamot is a citrus fruit that smells amazing, so a lot of people like to make essential oils out of it and put it in candles and stuff.

However, this should NEVER go on your skin. It has the same effects as Giant Hogweed (& some other wild carrots like Queen Anne’s Lace) and will give you nasty rashes and chemically hyper-boosted sunburns by making skin highly reactive to sunlight.

Remember this?

I personally have had friends who were seriously hurt by putting bergamot essential oils on their skin. It sucks.

In case you don’t want to look it up yourself:

image

Don’t use or make bergamot soap.
Don’t use or make bergamot lotion.
Don’t use or make bergamot anything that goes on your skin.

Just don’t put bergamot on your skin.

Stay safe beautiful! ❤ And please signal boost this!

The bergamot in Earl Grey tea is the best thing in the world. Bergamot on your skin isn’t.
