What sounds like a scream could also be an episode of "exploding head syndrome" (the most hilariously dramatically named relatively mundane sleep phenomenon)

I've experienced it a handful of times in my life and it is very startling! Especially the 2 times where it sounded like someone shouting my name from inside my skull. Brains are so weird

I'm sure there were at least a few for whom it was both lol

you can even make money off it if you find the right piss enthusiasts lol

(if you live in the US, don't send it via US Postal Service, as shipping bodily fluids is illegal)

Fortunately I'm not a fabric softener user! :) You're the second person to suggest using a second dry towel however so I'll definitely be trying that. (I just have to find the other towel first, lol)

that's a good point. distract myself with some Necrogoblikon or something. having wet hair makes me feel goblin-y in an angry wet cat sorta way lol

i already listen to metal when I epilate my leg and armpit hair cuz that shit hurts and the metal helps me feel badass enough to deal with it :'D

oh hey it's my lock screen!

that's so lovely of you 🥺 if I ever manage to have a partner someday I will definitely inquire as to whether they'd be up for this! I'd certainly do it for them in return. Blow drying someone else's hair sounds WAY easier

Oh!! I have a rayon sarong that's really absorbent and might work for this. Never thought to introduce a second, dryer head wrap after the initial towel

I'm really curious about what kind of job that could be lol

adult entertainment haha. but all kinds of entertainment industry workers have restricted ability to change their hair length/color/etc. also women who work at religious institutions (e.g. a Christian hospital) may face significant social pressure to have traditionally feminine (long) hairstyles

I forgot about diffusers!! my mom has one and I love using it. definitely worth looking into, thanks for reminding me!!!

 

I have tried:
• air drying (takes too long, extends wet hair misery)
• having short hair (can't have short hair at one of my jobs)
• dryer bonnet (somewhat better cuz at least I can sorta multitask)
• sitting in front of box fan (takes too long)
• paying hairdresser to do it (expensive)

Figured I'd see if you guys know any tips and tricks...

Ones that come to mind for me are Telephone by Lady Gaga and Money by Cardi B

 

I've noticed that rather butch-styled gals often seem to enjoy wearing brightly colored and patterned, feminine Wellies style rain boots

meanwhile the most high femme, wearing-waterproof-full-face-makeup-in-a-downpour girly gals will strap on some duck boots made for stompin'

both of these aesthetic juxtapositions make my lil gay heart melt. that is all

Did you know most consumer inkjet printers use either a piezoelectric crystal or a tiny heating element in each print head to produce small, consistent ink droplets?

I didn't!

So I tried cleaning my mom's printer heads with rubbing alcohol. Which unclogged them! And then promptly set the printer on fire after being ignited by the heat and/or sparks.

My family will never let me live this down.
