i schwear to god ur not gonna find someone who enjoys working in the grocery store against their better judgement more than me, i am so fucking autistic about this job and everyone knows how good i am at it all, but nothing kills it like the dumb corporate overlord bs. the work can be grueling, the customers can be horrific, but i have got to serve- even the irritating mystery shopper score can be coped with- but when you start picking on me about the stupidest dress code shit that’s when you lose me. like now a new manager is saying they may force us all to wear those chunky nonslip shoes within the year. i have a pair but man they hurt my fucking feet. i cant do that shit every day thats why i wear converse. i said these are nonslip man they used to play basketball in these. he said “lets spill oil on the floor and see how you do” ok girl yes! try me!

(( I see this mistake a lot and I just want to remind people — Miranda’s nose crest is basically all bone! There’s sinus inside of it, so there are tunnels and holes wound through it, but it’s pretty dense and reinforced bone without a lot of meat on top of it.
In comparison, these are the squishiest/softest parts of Miranda’s face. Most of this is her huge jaw muscles to open and close her jaws, with a little bit of the muscle and soft tissue around her lips. They aren’t as pliable and soft as mammalian lips, closer to something like the lips of monitor lizards.
Thus, these are the hardest parts of Miranda’s face. This is where there’s very minimal tissue between the skin and the bone, so they don’t have a lot of cushioning in comparison. This is not to say they’re totally immobile, some movements of Miranda’s face can tug on the skin and make the scales bunch up over her nose crest or the like, but there’s not a lot of movement going on regardless.
