I cannot find my favorite hijab and I’m not very happy about that ugh Also my hair is growing in from the buzzcut I’ve had for seven years and it’s at the stage where it doesn’t know whether it wants to stick up everywhere or flop older and it keeps peaking through

I honestly don’t trust anyone who is a career politician. Like those old white men who have never done anything else. IMO being in office is a public service and if that’s how you’re making the majority of you income idk I feel it’s wrong

I haven’t been active very much lately due to a combination of severe GI issues and dislocated ribs and costochondritis causing a fuckton of pain for months but I’m starting to heal finally so I’ll try to be more active That being said don’t dislocate your ribs. It hurts like nothing else.
