cutting your nails

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.

Press on nails

Everyone randomly loves to compliment my press on nails. stops me from biting my nails and i dont have to deal with passive aggressive nail techs scolding me. When they fall off (or i peel them) i just throw on some new ones, nbd. im not pretending they look as good as acrylics but for $8 i do not care

Press on nails

For years I dutifully visited the salon every two weeks to paint and fill long acrylic nails that were difficult to type with, expensive and prone to fungus. Then, COVID hit. I started going to pool parties at my friend Jamie Nelson’s house, saw her luxe red talons, impervious to salon closures, and learned the secret: press on nails. They look like a full set but are cheap, long lasting, easy to apply and easy to remove when you want to do human things like type your novel or pick up a penny. I’ve tried some fun ones on Etsy but find the best quality nails are made by the brand Kiss and are widely available anywhere basic self-care sundries are sold.

The purity of boomers who try to stay up to date w evolving technology

my dad got chatgpt for dummies & has been practicing daily sending my family AI generated texts (side note- English is not his first language so the right prompts are more difficult for him to come up with). seeing this just truly made me melt. he’s observing the world change and making a concerted effort to keep up. just pure
