ahahahaha

it's "elegant gothic lolita" (which was an outdated name for just "lolita"), a japanese street fashion style

vitamin C + hyaluronic acid serum + moisturizer (+ sunscreen) in the morning and eye area "peptides" + different composite hyaluronic acid serum + nighttime moisturizer at night

random brands tbh. nothing elaborate. just..... Something is better than nothing

/cgl/ probably worked so well because it was an anonymous offshoot of the cosplay and EGL communities on livejournal, there was already a pre-established network and high trust buying and selling of clothing/accessories/etc

4chan's /cgl/ and /lit/ boards. the former allowed "tripfagging", held meet-ups, organized secret santas (that worked without issue most of the time), and after larger anime conventions there was usually a thread where people re connected with those they met irl. it felt like a real community

oh uploading gifs works here! nice

skin looks better after getting nicer skin care products and using them every day

aeeeeeee

the term "luddite" is over 200 years old and technology enthusiasts are still as stubborn about reality as those they so proudly point fingers to

standing athwart those standing athwart history screaming “stop.” and screaming “stop.”

for some reason my cat does not understand the location of my main bedroom, so whenever I do go there, she roams the entire apartment meowing desperately and incessantly because she knows i'm home but can't figure out where exactly

did you survive

why is this app in dark mode.. what are we mourning

there was a rock with cool water driping down along the way and i leaned my entire upper body against it and got a wonderful spray on my face and shoulders and it was the most wonderful thing ever

wish id taken more pics, hiking frens should have some of me but i extremely look like i just climbed 700 meters in less than two hours

if you hike up all the 700+ meters to the christ redeemer statue you unlock a dopamine reward every time you see it standing all the way up there – "i climbed that shit with my own two legs"

and then now I'm just gonna spam my emotional slop there without a care because nothing in that site matters

lost them at the beach :( again

i'm not seeing much political signaling to be honest, just some cool posts that are much lower temperature and frequency than twitter

hmmm that sounds a little played out

for posting positively or negatively or at all? I thought AI hate was an integral part of this place

i also got locked outside my apartment and spent an extra several hours dealing with that 🙃

i was on the beach and don't have anything but twitter on the burner phone 😭

hoping for some fun that does not require things like "doing numbers"

what are some good characters to play, for someone just starting playing characters on bsky?

it's the new place to be i swear !!!

Nikita handing out socks to all the twitter house elves. thank you so much master Nikita

imagine the possibilities..

not much arguing when only one side even gets to be heard

i can physically hear the algorithm say "tss tss bad user! wrong opinion!" for several hours after liking/replying/posting anything even remotely musk-disapproved. they really fine tuned the algo on both form and content to maximally please the forum owner

he'll yea, good to have some guide on follows, it was one of the things keeping me from here
