  • lmao we’ve had opposite experiences! i bought 2 old-ass polaroid land cameras that were perfectly functional, and took probably 50 pictures on each of em before the prices on fp-100c film started creeping above $1 per shot.

    the impossible project continues to make type 100 film, but they currently charge ~$50 for THREE shots. for context the discontinued fp-100c filmpacks come in 10 packs and would run you ~$100 today. upsettingly high, but STILL CHEAPER than the modern replacement :c



  • if you can’t keep your entire music collection in the player, what’s the point?

    you can occasionally find these at goodwills or on ebay for like $70, 90% of the time they just need new belts for the carousel. they even have a special port on the back that lets you daisychain two of em together and share outputs, AND they read home-burned cd-text. it’s a physical media pirate’s dream machine lol








  • People online will also upvote blatant racism and 9/11 truthers and shit. I’m eternally grateful communities like this exist where we can talk about how fucken stupid people can be, and all feel a little less crazy. Who the fuck seriously says “hag” anyways? I’m glad I’m not that dummy.

    You’re beautiful by the way, I’d be intimidated to talk to you irl hahaha



  • This is like, the place to go for hair care. Your hair is already really pretty by the way! Getchu some CG approved products (this can help with shopping), find a routine that you can mesh with, and you’ll be surprised by the results ^^

    I wish I could help with other stuff but I’m just a little AMAB eggy boi who gets away with having girl hair. I love helping people with hair tho, it’s such a minor thing but can be SO transformative!

    The lil wavies that are already visible are SUPER promising. You’ve got a beautiful natural curl! As it gets longer it’ll start to drape more regularly under it’s own weight, and it’ll be easier to style once there’s more of it to work with.

    The washing/conditioning methods in the CG doc will help bring out/emphasize your natural curl pattern. I went from kinda wavy hair to actual ringlets, and your hair looks wavier than mine was when I started!

    And the great part about CG is you can tweak your results, there’s no one singular “ideal” end goal! It’s like a community of curl-scientists constantly running experiments and sharing their findings.

    e: i think my instance is fucking up, sorry for the spam!



  • YES, I was hoping that link was the CG doc!! This is the way!

    Also consider asking your barber what kind of hair you have (thick, fine, voluminous, etc.), bc it can make a huge difference on what it needs. For example using conditioner as shampoo (co-washing) does amazing things for some people, but it can cause scalp buildup in thicker hair.

    SheaMoisture is my go-to brand. Their conditioner is so concentrated you almost have to water it down, I keep an empty bottle around and do 50/50.
