Yeah, no I wasn't commenting on it one way or another -- just meant that there was a way to get the gist without reading the whole article about Chuck and his book, etc.

Hec, I'm looking at microblading myself: my brows are basically gone, and I look so washed out without them.

My SIL has a person who does this in her salon and she has been encouraging me. My biggest issue is that I have had blond brows that can only be seen close up all my life and it would take some real adjustment to not be startled by the change. I don't wear glasses anymore to frame my eyes, but the bangs are probably going to be here forever.

Add me to the micro-bladers. I’ve had it done twice. Am probably due again, but the person who did mine was in tx and it’s not really in the budget right now so I’m back to powder when I bother.

ETA microbladders is a whole different thing, although that may also apply.

Schumer’s book tour is postponed for “security reasons.” Coward. I was looking forward to yelling at him tonight at the Pratt.

I'm not sure we can afford to count on long term strategizing if the short term is going to just discard the rule of law entirely. Personally.

I don't know what microblading is but it sounds like something I don't need to know about, so that's ok. I wish you all success with your brow management process of choice!

Laura, my color was totally custom. So they can do a shade darker than your natural if you don't want to be Too Dark.

SO MUCH THIS.

"Assigned (Male or Female) At Bit"

This is cracking me up

Why is soda bread so fucking good?

I was hoping someone I knew would get the chance to do that, Lisa. Because I kind of figured someone might, cause it's Baltimore...it might be nice to feel represented for a change!(Although it's nice for once to feel like the Senators from AZ did the right thing...that doesn't happen every day, to put that mildly.) And I know, as someone who's always had to bring her own seat to the table and reads the word "institution" as an automatic "No, thanks,"(I know--not the same ones.)I start out critical of guys like Schumer, but when we see him, it's usually bad. Why is it so hard for him to get that the wheeler-dealer, horse-trader era(or fundraising skills, because whatever boosted him is not skill at explaining Democratic values to the public, I'd stake what remains of my life on that) but it's a different era now. As much as I, personally, think Bernie Sanders is bomb, the people showing up in Nebraska might or might not. What they want is an assignment of sorts. Bernie is a bit of a hard grader, and has really scaled up a vision of a "group project"--Back when, maybe that would be Chuck's job, though.(or at least, he could have talked to some machine guy once, and not had to herd a million donkeys.)
