I use Matrix, but like a lot of the Fediverse (I know it's technically a different protocol, but still), it's not normie friendly. If it were more plug n play it might take off. I just don't look forward to when they'll have ads or start making us pay. It's so tiring shuffling from platform to platform because of some greedy CEO.

    Thanks~ Best believe though, in October we're going back over it so that way it's obvious that it's burgundy in all lighting, not just when my hair hits the sun. To me, burgundy is still in the red family, but isn't too "out there" of a color (I desperately wish we could just let adults have vibrant hair without fear of being judged).

    This is a case of "faces in things", but I thought it was kinda funny. I didn't add quite enough honey and sugar to the recipe, but it was still moist and enjoyable. Making cornbread from scratch and tweaking online recipes so it doesn't taste like cardboard. I want jiffy mix, without buying jiffy mix and I mostly nailed it...but at a cost of creating evil cornbread. Maybe the next batch won't be evil?

    I got compliments on my hair and it made me feel nice. I wanted my hair to be an "employable burgundy" (as much as in my soul, I deeply wanted as bright of a red as possible), but it came out a little too subtle. Thankfully, when the light is nice, it looks great and I love getting complements.

    I would take the bottom right because if there's one aggressively millennial thing about me, it's skinny jeans. And you'll pry them from my cold, dead hands. They're good all year round, you never have to worry about folding the bottom into winter boots, and they don't drag on the ground when it's winter or rainy outside. Skinny jeans forever!

    It's also kinda gross when it's been revealed that a lot of extensions we use for our hair contain nasty chemicals. So even if you didn't chemically treat your hair, you were still exposed to bad chemicals by other means. Makes me so glad I have microlocs!

    I'd pick top left because I do a lot of walking and also because the boots look durable. While I don't mind heeled boots, I would only wear them to dinner or some other event that calls for dressing a bit nicer and I don't do that often enough. The bottom left is just "eh" so I wouldn't pick it.

    I'm getting the bottom half of my hair dyed burgundy. I can count on one hand the number of times I've gotten my hair professionally done and I'm excited. I love the color red and I'm excited to do something just because I want to.

    I do feel much better after taking a nap in the afternoon, but until I got rest, it was a very bad feeling. Just 4 more weeks left and I'm free!

    Meta exposé tops bestseller chart despite company’s attempt to ban its promotion Sarah Wynn-Williams’s account of her seven years as a Facebook executive is number one on the New York Times bestseller list and has flown off the shelves in the UK

    An exposé by a former employee of Meta has become a bestseller despite the social media company banning the author from promoting the book.

    Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former director of global public policy at Meta’s precursor, Facebook, topped the New York Times bestseller chart and will be fourth on the Sunday Times nonfiction hardback chart this weekend.

    The book “sold a staggering 1,000 hardbacks a day in the first three days on sale in the UK, despite Meta’s legal tactics to silence the book’s author”, said Joanna Prior, CEO of publisher Pan Macmillan. “This early success is a triumph against Meta’s attempt to stop the publication of this book.”

    Hi! I'm newer to the Fediverse and brand new to Beehaw. I've used Reddit for years, but I'm seeking greener shores as big tech has gotten real weird.

    When I'm not reading, attempting to be a guitarist or fooling with fountain pens, I like to paint my nails! Do I color in the lines? No. Do I do a perfect job? Also no. But I pick fun colors and always, always, always add glitter. Did you color your nails? I wanna see!

    (Side bar, I low-key wish the Fediverse had more places for beauty inspo. Let's see pretty nails, hair and outfits, please!)
