  • Hmmmm I think skipping hair shampooing/conditioning or not wetting your hair every shower cuts down significantly. Some days when I have low spoons, I only really focus on scrubbing up the essential body parts. Also focusing on exfoliating every other shower or something may help and is probably better for your skin. Also not shaving in the shower, especially if youre shaving legs/pits/etc. I’ll fill the bathroom sink with warm water and shave that way, when I do.

    I’ve never thought to pick loose hairs. When I wash my hair ill try to gather those so I don’t clog the drain but usually once you towel off and dry if there are hairs stuck to you they will kinda fall off.













  • I was literally just thinking about why holidays can be so difficult to let go of for people and I think I vamento a similar conclusion. White Americans are so isolated from one another, and in a lot of ways I think things like Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only way we can normalize communalism because it’s not regularly practiced in our lives. The holidays, for the most part, made me feel like I had a family bc I came from a real dysfunctional background. So it’s kinda precious for me. Sucks that even if people try to divest the meaning from it its still considered problematic. But I guess what would be more important is for us to try and create communalism as an ongoing practice in our lives with friends and family and whatever instead of relying on these days, I suppose.
