Today's manicure was a first for me! I've been getting more comfortable with glitter placement manicures so I thought I'd up the difficulty by trying to incorporate these polymer clay charms. I am really happy with how this turned out. It has been tricky getting used to how far these charms stick up from the nail, but aside from that I had an absolute blast with this one. This is also a matching mani as well! Thanks for doing this with me again @lesmotsdemoi! 🤩♥️😁 This is Something in Between from Polished for Days with Candy Pie glitters from dumbblondeglitters on Etsy.
i don’t remember if i posted these here or not but the lighting in my dentist’s bathroom was really good which made me take these decent no filter selfies the other day
For me, August was and will always be the odd one. Where the season changes and the air is not so humid or hot. Like half cold tea or stepping inside after one day being out and about.
August is where I never mind about how many days until weekend or how many days until it ends. August is where I never count, because if I do, then I grow up faster.
For me living through August is both scary and exciting. In a way little kids knows her birthday is coming around the corner, but also the 20th, 21st, 22nd birthday and the number is the scary part.
For now, August is where I lay down and count my blessings before another year passed and I'm forced to be something that I'm not ready to be, someone that I'm not used to be.

You know those aesthetic image posts that float around tumblr? I'm . . . starting to see a lot on my dash that are obviously ai-generated. Are non-artists having trouble telling the difference between AI images and real photos, or are people starting to stop care about the stolen art that gets fed into those programs?
Personally, it's always a bit wild to me to see commentators interact with the Hunger Games franchise as if Collins were writing science fiction stories instead of essays with faces. She's just not that interested in fleshing out side characters or digging into the details of the worldbuilding. These characters are concepts and symbols before they're people. There's an almost mathematical precision to who and what she explores and how deeply she does it. This is a step or two away from pure allegory. If she were writing a couple of centuries ago, she'd have named her characters things like Innocence and Anger and Watch-Carefully-Your-Soul-Lest-Ye-Be-Damned, but since she's writing for modern audiences, she has to settle for puns and allusions. If she has another essay to write, she'll assign some faces to it; she's not going to look into backstories or other eras just for the sake of storytelling, and it's not a failing as a writer that she doesn't.
