I think it must be for the lack of going outside of your room on this website that debates about personal presentation and appearance literally never have any material analysis. sorry it's counterrevolutionary to shave my legs or wear makeup or a bra or style my hair in certain ways or "worry" about visible signs of aging but have some of you just never encountered real world situations where those things caused measurable problems dealing with other people, jobs, money, respectability, access to resources, or the ability to influence important situations? this starts happening when you go outside a lot. there's a debate on my dash rn about balding and finasteride in which not a single person has mentioned the potential negative social outcomes of losing your hair and how that can affect socioeconomic status and personal risk. maybe someone doesn't need to be "vain" to care about keeping their hair and consider the risks of medication for it. maybe they've seen how bald people get treated and referred to and made a cost benefit calculation that they can't afford, sometimes literally, to eat that cost, with everything else they've got going on. maybe I wear makeup when I have to go talk to doctors and other gatekeepers because people make assumptions about your class and mental status when you have "bad skin" and "eye bags". maybe a lot of women who wear uncomfortable restrictive bras and shave whatever and buy skin products and do gua sha have already been sharply punished when someone saw leg hair or a mustache or puffy greasy skin or god forbid their nipple through their shirt. not everyone can just say "fuck it, I can afford to eat one more social cost that will measurably impact my ability to get medical treatment or pay rent". sorry this sounds like an economics lecture, that's because it is

if you are about to tell me a long story about how you personally have not been affected by perceptions of your appearance actually so you can conclude it never happens at all, please don't. sometimes you get lucky, that's it. and on this website I think it's less likely that you're lucky and more likely that you're oblivious

as someone who also has white people fine-and-curly hair i'd like to express my sincerest condolences to rockstat who i know has the mother of all tangles that forms at the back of his neck after every single show and who probably cries blood every time he has to brush his hair based on the state of those curls in his interview clips.

A little first post:

🌟 I'm leaving instagram and meta and coming back to tumblr because, very explicitly, fuck anti lgbtq+ and racist garbage. This is my side blog about my hair, natural hair in general and other fun hobby things I want to put here. I have a little past hip length 4c hair with fine to medium strands and thicker than a bowl of oatmeal density. I have been growing out my hair since June 2018, from an 1/8" inch buzzcut so currently It's been6 1/2 years of really learning and growing out my hair. I like haircare based on science and evidence and I do what works for me. Also I like sheep 🐑
