We surveyed more than 100 Texans to find out what they spend on beauty. Suffice it to say, this is not a peer reviewed scientific study, but an earnest attempt at averages. In Texas, it turns out more is more. thebarbedwire.com/2025/02/21/b...

Fell asleep in the middle of working on the Japanese thread and forgot to change something that I copy-and-pasted. I don’t know why ALT text is such a struggle for me; I don’t even write very good ones and usually end up posting the bare minimum.

I’m now officially starting to fall behind on a lot of updates. I’ll get around to them at some point.

I know (I KNOW) I should be posting all the @sunscreen.cc updates on a blog and/or database-style website, and that’s what I initially set out to do, but unfortunately I’m not functioning enough to meet my own standards. Posting on Bluesky is less than ideal, but it’s something for now.

I had one more product ready to be posted on @sunscreen.cc except I needed one more screenshot and Kao’s online store was down for maintenance, so I left the tabs open and forgot about them… and restarted the browser to reflect an update, so I lost everything 💀

Tried the new one on the back of my hand. There might be a slight white cast for some, but it’s virtually unnoticeable on me. I don’t know what shade my hand is exactly, but I think my face is NC15/N12 or thereabouts according to Findation.

I was kind of bummed for a second that r/AB doesn’t seem to be taking part in this (or maybe I missed it when I checked), but then I remembered there weren’t really a lot of links to Twitter on there to start with.

Hundreds of subreddits are considering banning all links to X/Twitter 🔗 www.404media.co/hundreds-of-...

I’m pretty far behind on posting on @sunscreen.cc. Dividing everything up to fit character limits actually takes longer than just writing up a regular post, and I’m so bad at ALT text. More coming up hopefully soon.

I think my face has finally calmed down after months of on-and-off (mostly on) irritation (knock on wood). So now would be the time to try out that mini I bought for a product I’ve never used… But then I would be back to square one if I have an adverse reaction. Hmm

I use this at home in the winter, btw. Not right now because I’m using something else up, but I have an unopened tube lined up to use next.

Changed my handle from @me.sunscreen.cc to @m.sunscreen.cc because (a) it looked kind of weird when @abmuse.net tagged me the other day (I mean, she’s not me) and (b) hey, one character shorter, why not.
