      i think it's more about 'common courtesy that this person who is walking around carrying a fucking 7 pound basketball on her belly might want to sit down more than muscled son of privilege over here' and 'generally respecting pregnant ladies is a nice thing to do since they're carrying on the human race or whatever' and 'it's ridiculous that i am aware of this and leap to my feet for her to sit down and dudebro over here is so enraptured in his own little world that he doesn't even have to notice these things and this is irritating to me and also just pretty rude on his behalf' and less 'obviously women are super fragile and can't stand for themselves on trains and need to be babied'

      i think formspring just is getting boring for people, there are a few dumb questions i've gotten that i don't feel like answering but mostly it's just radio silence

      about twice a week, and whatever, i don't think she's unattractive at all so i'll take it as a compliment.

      MP itself isn't really damaging -- it's semi-permanent and doesn't have ammonia or peroxide or anything, so it's kind of more of a stain? (you can also blend and mix colours easily, or dilute it with conditioner to get pastel/lighter tones, etc. it also doesn't go bad or require mixing, so you can use a little bit and then save the jar pretty much indefinitely for next time. it's literally like if your conditioner had a ton of food dye or something in it.) what is damaging (depending on your hair of course) is the fact that for most of their colours to even show up you have to bleach your hair super-light, or it'll barely even tint it.

      this came out a little bluer than i wanted and i have a bunch of pink at home from doing squirrelfrand's hurr, so i might see if i can get this a little more purple? either way i have like 4 colours at home and it's not like it's expensive and it washes out pretty quickly, so i guess the plan is "keep my hair blonde and add fun colours whenever i get bored, depending on what mood i'm in"

      for some reason it came out bluish when it was supposed to be purple, but i'm pretty okay with that. it's the same blonde but now but the tips are a silvery-purply-blue and a few streaks also, weird mermaid hair NBD

      i just mixed manic panic 'ultraviolet' with conditioner (dilutes it so you get pastel instead of bright neon), mylittleponyhair.tumblr.com has way better tutorials and so on for doing pastel and ombres and so on yourself

      there isn't really criteria or anything, i just do what i feel like, which is pretty much what i think everyone else should do too? you do you, all that jazz. no big deal

      i do, but that doesn't mean i think you need to or really care if anyone does or doesn't, body hair police in either direction ("it's gross if you don't" vs "it's antifeminist if you do") are obnoxious

      i sort of have a faint blonde femmestache problem though, which i don't care about and i bet people talk shit about me for but who cares, i'm not spending the money to get it waxed and end up with a zitstache from the wax instead, you can all deal

      THEYSKEN'S THEORY AND HELMUT LANG BECAUSE I AM PREDICATBLE AND WOULD ALWAYS WEAR EVERYTHING THEY MAKE

      though i'd actually be way into that chanel collection if it wasn't, you know, totally cultural appropriation, i have a conflicted relationship with my bizarre nostalgia for 90s mutliculturalism even though i know it's way not cool. CAN'T I JUST PUT RHINESTONES ON MY FACE SOMEHOW WITHOUT IT BEING RACIST OR A BINDI REFERENCE I JUST WANT TO LOOK LIKE GWEN YOU GUYS GAH COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST MADE IT SPARKLY AND LAYERED KARL, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT

      phew sorry, outburst

      i don't hate anyone really, for the most part i think that if things didn't work out, well then they didn't work out, and i'm happier now and i hope that they are also as obviously i wasn't the right person for them either

      it probably means i was 'conveying awareness of the fact that others in my situation may feel differently or have been affected differently and i am lucky that i didn't end up feeling fucked up or fucked over by' and 'trying to be tactful by reinforcing that obviously my personal experience is not universal' and probably not 'a direct insult to you, anonymous question asker' and probably not something to 'leave me snarky fucking comments about,' the least rude of which was this one

      let's also rehash for the third time today that thing about, again, in the name of tactfulness, it is maybe cooler to save personal or invasive questions for people we know and have respectful personal conversations with, right? cool.

      i don't really feel conflicted about it? i know i am lucky and privileged in this and that it's obviously a complex issue which involves many parties with a lot of very different experiences ranging from wildly traumatizing to very positive, but it's honestly not a huge problem for me personally or something i really think about, despite all the projections that all of you who leave me unbelievably offensive questions on a weekly basis with regards to this seem to put on me. though again: personal life and relationship questions, best reserved for when you actually know the person and can have a genuine and respectful personal, private conversation.

      1. sometimes you do not know everything you think you know about a person or about a relationship

      2. sometimes it also takes people a few mistakes or relationships or years to figure out what they want and who they are and what they need, especially when they are young

      3. sometimes the process of coming out involves trying really, really hard to make it work the 'normal' way and like crying a lot because it doesn't make any sense for you even when you do everything right and you feel really fucked up and keep wanting to date girls even though maybe your boyfriends have all been like really good looking or smart or funny or rich or whatever, and feeling really conflicted about it for a longass time and feeling doubly conflicted because it's not like you don't want to be gay or something but it just seems so scary even though you've been doing it for years just not talking about it, and then feeling bad because you like fucked all those boyfriends over or you know they see it that way and you just have to deal with that because it feels SO MUCH BETTER not being in that place anymore and suddenly you aren't crying and feeling sick all the time anymore so it's worth it and that's what it's like, this is actually really common, so you should also think about this the next time you say something like that to someone else, that maybe it is not this sudden thing of like 'oh cool so like i'm gay now'

      4. having been in a hetero relationship with a cisdude also doesn't negate someone's queerness, in fact i would guess that a majority of queer identified ladies probably have at some point in their past

      5. if you are curious about someone's identity or romantic/sexual history and preferences and politics the best way to do it is to have a respectful and polite personal conversation with them, which i am more than willing to do with most people who are reasonable about it
