it's ridiculous how people are so quick to throw trans women under the bus that when a bunch of guys from KillAllTrannies.com who have been harassing a trans woman in the public eye for years dig up all her personal info and find something problematic that she said YEARS ago that she probably doesn't even agree with today (and btw the guys who found it are definitely saying worse on a daily basis in the forums on KillAllTrannies.com, as stated previously), people will instantly go to attacking the trans woman for the thing she said years ago rather than questioning why they're siding with the people who are, again, collecting this information about her on KillAllTrannies.com

Documenting the Damage: 100 Harmful Policies from the First 100 Days of Trump's Second Term

The second Trump administration has had the busiest first 100 days of any US presidency in nearly a century. Since January, I've been keeping a spreadsheet documenting 900+ policy changes and political developments. I then bundled many of the most important changes into 100 topics areas and wrote a summary of each of them, providing a semi-comprehensive account of the tremendous changes to US politics which have occurred.

Do you ever think about how, like, KPop Demon Hunters is just...Perfect?

I don't mean like with its story, characters, animation, and themes (Except those ARE perfect too). I mean in the concept alone, it's on the same level of brilliance as something like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Such an OUT THERE idea that wears its insanity upon its sleeve and knows exactly what audience it's aiming for and leaves them wanting MORE. It is simply a story about a KPop band that kills demons, but is strengthened by its lore, characters, and the trio's complex relationships with each other and other people in their lives. All while being equal parts funny, epic, and heavily dramatic in a way that feels earned and NOT AT ALL forced.

Like, this is absolutely something that could get sequels, spin offs, TV shows, potential comic runs, and possible reboots, with this being the ONLY time fans actually WANTING it because, gosh dang it, the concept is SO PERFECT that it'd be STUPID not to go all the way with it. THAT'S how you know something is perfect: When an audience is BEGGING Hollywood to build a franchise off of something.

(Though, maybe DON'T turn this into a cash cow to milk dry. Just, you know...give us MORE. Please, for the love of all that is holy, give us MORE!)

Here's some summer advice from a guy who worked in skincare:

-you need to wear sunscreen if youre going out in the sun. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. You don't need the expensive designer stuff but please just wear sun protection.

-you still need sunscreen if you are black or dark-skinned. Not only can you still sunburn, but direct UV light exposure also increases your risk of skin cancer, no matter how much melanin you have. There's tons of brands out there that are made for darker skin tones that don't leave that ashy finish behind, you just need to know the terms to look for. Look for the words "tinted, matte, mattifying," and shea butter-based sunscreens. There's also lots of brands that are formulated with your skin tone in mind. I don't have any to recommend unfortunately because I don't have experience needing that, but I know they are out there.

-if youre very hairy and cream sunscreens get caught in your body hair and glob up, get a spray sunscreen instead. It'll get in all the nooks and crannies instead of getting caught in your hair. Spray sunscreens are also good for those who have troubles with the effort and time it takes to put on sunscreen. Just make sure you spray it in a well ventilated area or, better yet, under cover outside, like on a porch or balcony.

-dont believe the fearmongering about chemical sunscreens. They're much more reliably protective than mineral sunscreens are. Thats because theyre chemically formulated in lab settings to be consistently protective and keep on shelves for long periods of time, while mineral sunscreens have a bad habit of ingredient separation and uneven formula mixes. Really, unless youre swimming directly in the great barrier reef or you have a specific skin condition or allergy to the ingredients in chemical sunscreens (the only customer i actually recommended our mineral sunscreen to over our chemical one was a regular who had skin cancer), you don't need a mineral sunscreen. Your wallet will also suffer less.

-you might have to double cleanse in the shower to get all sunscreen residue off your skin. Thats a good thing actually, it means your sunscreen is really good at barrier protection, but its also annoying. The way to do this without drying out your skin too much is by doing one quick cleanse of your skin with about half the soap you's typically use just to loosen up that residue and dirt, and then another deep, proper clean like you usually would that will get it all off. While leftover residue isn't really a health risk at all, it can clog your pores over time and cause uncomfortable acne breakouts, as well as trap dust and dirt under all the gunk. It can also get on your bedsheets.

-if you double cleanse, I recommend moisturizing after because it does dry you out a bit. You don't need a big fancy designer moisturizer either, just go to the drug store and get their basic pump bottle of body lotion, and separate facial moisturizer (the separation matters, the skin on your face is a lot more thin and delicate than the skin on your body). The main thing you want to look for with any product is that you arent allergic or sensitive to the active ingredients and avoid anything that uses alcohol as a binding ingredient.

-hats, hats, hats!! They keep the sun out of your eyes and your face!! You cant put sunscreen on your eyeballs!! Wear hats!!

-go have fun!! You can have your beach days and sun fun without cancer risks!!
