Posting this here is preaching to the choir because most of us have left. Still, the point that posting normally there makes the N*zi CSAM social media platform seem normal is particularly salient imo. Posting your normal content there is providing the site with its disguise of normalcy.

X is the platform this particular mass murderer uses to seed his most poisonous ideas. A couple of months ago, he used the platform to egg on the Belfast pogrom.
Those who continue to post on X-in particular those X users who are not racist psychopaths-are enhancing the site's usefulness to him as a propaganda tool by drawing more eyes to the platform and making it look like an ideologically diverse
"marketplace of ideas" instead of what it is: a delivery vehicle for bringing fascism into the mainstream of global politics. Oh, and perhaps the Internet's leading destination for those in search of child sexual abuse material.

"Musk’s meddling in the site’s algorithm to suppress certain kinds of posts and elevate others is well documented. So if your anti-fascist posts on X are still getting views, it’s either because these posts are so toothless as to escape Musk’s notice, or because they are in fact useful to him."

After a couple weeks of using both I’d say they have similar levels of effectiveness, but the Old Spice goes on clear (you have to pay even more if you want a women’s stick like that) and was cheaper, so. I might be an Old Spice girlie now. (That said it really does not smell like Palm or Coconut.)

One of these is almost half the price of the other even though it contains more product (I know I know we all know the pink tax is a thing but still)

Two kinds of deodorant

My place doesn’t have AC so on cool summer mornings, I get out of bed as soon as I wake up, open all my windows and doors, and then get back in bed and listen to the birds while the cool air flows in. It’s one of my favorite things about summer.

A fun thing about having curly/wavy hair is that you’ll think you have your products and your routine down and then one day your hair will just decide it doesn’t want to cooperate with that routine and those products anymore
