hold up actually. wait a second. i always loved this passage and even referenced it recently on here, but...

it occurred to me (a straight hair-haver) that... while this routine to brush through your hair thoroughly at night would be a good care habit for someone with straight hair, wouldn't it be a bad idea for someone with naturally curly hair to do this? wouldn't brushing her hair dry with a comb (she later puts away the comb in a box), nightly, mess up her hair?

I gotta go out on hair wash day 🙃

Yesterday was a sad day. I didn’t feel like I could post something blithely happy about my ponies without saying something about the election, so I’ve been musing on what to say.

Before 2016, I ran more of a ‘general fandom’ type blog on Tumblr, which skewed more heavily towards politics and activism as the orange demon began to come into the limelight. Surely, we thought, nobody would be stupid enough to vote for a reality TV star with zero credentials and so many crimes surrounding him. The election seemed like a slam dunk, since everyone had working brains.

While I had to watch people I thought I could trust celebrating the downfall of our country’s (and my) future, I realized I couldn’t carry on any kind of activism blog and keep myself alive. I leaned into 100% pony toy blogging, just to try and keep my sanity. Pony blogging became an escape, a safe place that was focused wholly on cute, comforting nostalgia. Worrying about finding the latest pony release was easier than worrying about Prop 8 removing gay marriage rights, or the overturn of Roe v Wade. Even if politics always managed to edge into my life, girls toys at least were a space where women and LGBTQIA (usually) weren’t on the fringes and marginalized.

Which leads me back to today, staring down another brutal four years in a wannabe orange dictatorship. I don’t want to simplify it with “don’t worry, we’ll all make it through again!” because a lot of us didn’t make it. I’m glad that I am in a blue state that’s working to preserve my rights, but so many others don’t have that luxury, and I’m deeply afraid for them, too. I’m scared, and a lot of us are scared, with good reason to be.

Ponies aren’t a cure all, and escapism isn’t a fix. We need to keep fighting, but you can’t fight 24/7. Many of us are already fighting just to exist in a country that doesn’t feel welcoming right now. So I’m going to keep posting about my ponies, who are comforting to me, and do my best to create a space that feels safe for me to return to, when the rest of the world isn’t. If you want to come hide in Ponyland for a little while with me every day, you’re welcome to.

I hope you all stay safe, and find a place or activity that helps you to stay alive, too. Staying alive is doing enough, in a world that wants you dead. Anything else you can do is just gravy.

I will share useful resources when I find them, usually via Insta stories, and I will keep posting ponies. Ponies bring me comfort, and I hope you can find something that comforts you, too. Stay safe, and remember that there is a better future coming. We just have to make it there. 💖

OH and I forgot to mention, I tried to comfort myself by washing some ponies from the recent doll show, hence the photo! They all cleaned up very nicely, even if Yum Yum still has a frizzball tail, LOL!

Ok folks, as a Curly Person I have seen a Lot of curly Jon art, long hair tangled or in perfect eyebsll-laced singlets, but you know what I haven't seen?

Jon trying to get away with using a hairbrush on his curls because he's in a hurry and Tim or Martin has one and his hair goes full goofy frizzball.

Of course I have never, ever done this (she says, with a frizzy mess sticking out of the back of my head in a grotesque parody of a ponytail.

Hair PSA: if anyone is on the fence about trying the curly girl method DO IT!!

I have wavy 2a/2b type hair that is extremely fine and water so hard it is basically a mineral smoothie so it's usually just a frizzball BUT now I have nice bouncy waves.

It's pretty easy to do the routine and I get 3 days out of a wash with all the hair products. Less breakage and split ends too.

Would love product recs if anyone has them!

"Y-Yes! D-Don't worry! I'll get them soon, definitely!" The terrified mother responded. ??? hummed, "You better get them soon, or I'll tell dad" He threatened, then walked away, once again bumping into FrizzBall

Here is a picture of a wash and go that didn’t turn out so hot 😐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted to share this picture because I think transparency is important! My wash and gos are not always defined and instagram perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes they turn out to be a frizzy mess like this one. But honestly I’m okay with that. I still went out with this wash and go and wore my curls proudly! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I did not hide my hair in a hat or stay in the house all day. I understand I am STILL on my natural hair journey. I am STILL learning about my hair and what it needs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have to accept I abused my hair for years and it will not recover overnight. Somedays it will turnout exactly how I want it to and others days not so much.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So just remember to cut your hair some slack and love your curls in every stage (even when it’s a frizzy mess) because your curls will improve if you just give the time and the proper TLC. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . . . #curlculture #curlygirlsdoitbetter #frizzyhair #beautifulmess #trusttheprocess #healthyhairjourney #naturalhairjourney #curlyhairjourney #bighair #frizzball #curlygirl #curlygirlproblems #curlpower #marantapower #naturalhairdaily #naturalhairsistas #texturedhair #transitioninghair #4ahair #4bhair #3chair #4chair #curlfriends_ #curlygirlmethod #washandgo #washngo #naturalista (at Baltimore, Maryland)

trying the curly girl method for the very first time bc ive long suspected my extremely poofy frizzy hair might have been wavy… plus apparently my moms hair is wavy too. i did the condition-shampoo-condition thing, some leave-in condition and some mousse, and now im tying it up in a cotton t shirt

[that-red-dirt-road]

Oh michigan. How I've missed the crazy things you do do my hair, and your weird traffic lights
