I look forward for when my ear infection is gone. And to continue developing a body and hair ritual out of love.

#i have had an ear infection since Saturday. it was diagnosed on Monday and I was given ear drops.#Plot twist: the ear drops could not reach the infection. so the infection worsened. I went to a walk in again on Wednesday to have this #revealed. there is so much pus in my ear that my ear drum cannot be visualized. So I got a sick note for the rest of the week (doctor was #pretty insistent that I should not take just one day off #but the rest of the week!#anyway I look forward to feeling better. i want to be sure I take care of my hair as it gets longer.#so I have my tried and true jack59 citrus curly hair shampoo and conditioner bar (conditioner can be left as a leave in)#then I alternate a hair mask once a week. one is hair strengthening. one is hair softening.#i also have my satya for psoriasis but once a month I have to use a clarifying shampoo because satya has beeswax and leads to build up #I have two other hair/scalp oils that I use as pre treatment until I can figure out the minimal amount of oil to be useful #also during showering I have a scalp brush to really get my shampoo in my scalp and a playlist explicitly for showering #there are other things I plan to get like a silk bonnet abd microfibre towel from curle shopp #and I may try the LOC method for my hair as it gets longer #I have slowly been adding other techniques for my hair too #and then for my body I made a vody e #a body exfoliant that's more like a body polish and looks like ground beef #and then of course soap and a body balm that has calendula and other stuff #not to mention some face care. Alas #my face does best with NOTHING but skin cancer does not give a shit about that thus I must clean my face after sunscreen #I look forward to having energy again to do proper self care things. such and paying attention to thinks and cleaning dishes and cooking too #my post

"- I have a lot of problems with Biden. He is clearly the better of the two options, which I recognize is a very low bar. Being better than Trump cannot be the standard, because Donald Trump is the absence of a standard.

"But the truth is, even if Trump looses, that won't be the end of this. The people who cooked up Project 2025 will just move onto Project 2029 instead, because for them, this is so much more than just one election, or indeed, one candidate. Project 2025 is born from impulse as old as America. It's an impulse that says one class of Americans is entitled to lead, and the rest of us are lucky to be allowed to serve- that thinks there should be a limited government when it comes to rules they have to live by, but also a unitary executive to keep the rest of us in line. These are old, old ideas that have been shouted from podiums-... but have now been placed into a new handbook for an only too willing president to use on day one.

"And in a perfect world, I would love if we had an opposing party better able to articulate a strong defense of our country's ideals and that also consistently lived up to them. People are entitled to hope for more from the next four years than someone just not being Trump (and for at least two supreme court justices to die)-...

"And for anyone tempted to think, 'Well, we survived Trump's first term,' first, not everyone did, and it should hopefully be very clear by now a second Trump term really does promise to be far, far worse, because if Trump's first term was defined by chaos, his second could be defined by ruthless efficiency. That should be troubling to absolutely everyone because Project 2025 is a movement who's members joke about wanting a white homeland and insist women have to have more babies to uphold western society.-

"We need to be better than this."

-John Oliver, June 19th of 2024

#Youtube #john oliver #last week tonight #LWT #biden #trump #2024 elections #I also cannot stress this enough- if you are only voting on how America is treating the rest of the world #in light of the Palistinian genocide- know that Trump has pledged even more money and military support to Israel #That Trump has pledged supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine #and that Trump also wishes to have closer ties with North Korea #If America's treatment of all other nationalities and parties is your primary issue - then please also consider these #(And not voting at all does not absolve you of your part in this election)#(choosing not to participate is still making a choice- and does not absolve you of your contributions to the outcome)
