I’ve since relapsed —but as a compulsive nail biter my entire life, I got my first manicure this past winter and for the first time in my life my nails looked presentable. the clear polish is nice like a worry stone for me, satisfying the same urge that biting did—it’s a nice thing to do for yourself every 3 weeks or so I’ve discovered.

I'm bad at keeping track of the cyclical tasks like cutting your nails so I always cut them really short and then let them grow out for weeks until I cut them again. But the transition from long nails to very short is so so satisfying to me. My hands feel so functional and like my own. I like typing without feeling my nails. Being able to do things with my hands without subconsciously worrying / being aware of my nails. It's just a beautiful feeling, childishly joyful in some type of way.

i love doing my nails at home. so much so, i taught myself how to cut my cuticles, file my ridges, and found a good non-toxic no-chip polish to do the trick. there‘s something so relaxing about freshening my hands up on a cold Sunday afternoon.

I swear by these capsules. They’re intense—you take 3 every 3 hours when you’re not feeling tip top. I always have them in my apartment and definitely when I’m on tour. I love to dole them out to my friends like a pharmacist. They will keep you healthy

i love looking into someone’s fridge and seeing batteries where the butter is. reasonable, eccentric and elderly. I’ve been without my bluetooth speaker for some time now so I’ve been exclusively using my battery powered cd player while I do busywork. my 3 cds in (now months) rotation are Ivy’s apartment life, The Prodigy’s fat of the land, and Depeche Mode’s ultra. i’m also currently looking for a few battery powered sconces so i can have light in various places but with no wires.

perhaps it’s overdone to say someone lived “unapologetically” but he really did. This is my favorite autobiography of one of my favorite stars. He was glamorous, extremely smart, funny and talented—Both as a musician and as a reality star during his Big Brother years in the early 00s. The whole book is extremely entertaining and the way he goes in on industry censorship—most glaringly surrounding his gender expression—as well as the blurriness of boundaries in gay mentorship as a young person in the 70s is really compelling. I really connect to it every time I’ve read it (a few times.) Gwen Stefani has been looking a lot like 90s Pete lately and it makes me smile.
