I took a walk today.

Man I’ll never forget January. 0/10.

Not a single bad day in April! claiming it and receiving it! 🎀

i did the math to see where I could go on vacation and according to my budget i'm going to work

Working five days a week is wrecking my life. I hate squeezing my entire life into a two-day weekend because I’m too exhausted to do anything after work. I can’t believe this is considered “normal.”

The science behind this is wild. Your face has over 300 tiny filters sitting just under your skin. They’re called lymph nodes. Your entire body only has 400 to 800 total. And the drainage system connecting them has no pump at all, which is why a brush can do what you just watched. I looked into this. Your lymphatic system is your body’s sewage network. It collects about 3 liters of leaked fluid from your blood vessels every single day and routes it back through those nodes for cleaning. But unlike blood, which has the heart forcing it around, lymph fluid moves using muscle contractions and breathing. That’s it. No backup system. Because the vessels sit right under your skin, even light pressure from a brush or your fingertips can physically shove fluid toward the nearest node. So the de-puffing in this video is real. You’re watching fluid get pushed out of tissue in real time. But the research gets weird. A 2025 study out of Seoul put 34 women on gua sha or facial rollers for 8 weeks. Both tools visibly slimmed the face by over 2mm (the point where you can actually tell with your eyes). The two tools work through totally different biology, which I didn’t expect. Gua sha loosens up tense facial muscles. The roller makes the skin itself bouncier, about 8.6% more elastic. Same visible result, two completely different paths to get there. A Japanese team in 2022 took CT scans of 5 people before and after 2 weeks of daily facial massage. The cheek tissue got thinner and shifted upward on the scans. Wild result. But 5 people and no control group, so I’d slow down before calling that proof of anything. The honest part. UCLA Health looked at all the evidence in January 2026 and concluded: if your lymphatic system already works fine, there’s no real proof this helps it work better. An anatomist at the Medical University of Innsbruck told National Geographic the same thing. Healthy lymph nodes don’t need the help. That sculpted jawline you see in before-and-after clips lasts 1 to 8 hours, according to a certified lymph specialist. It’s a temporary fluid shift, and the fluid comes right back. The brush is also doing nothing your own hands can’t do. A lymphatic therapist told National Geographic straight up: you don’t need any tools, just your fingers. The unsexy answer to long-term lymphatic health is exercise and drinking water. Your muscles are the pump this system was built to run on.

I learned today that the brain eats itself when it’s sleep-starved.

This is the same nonsense Veekee James was using her platform to endorse and promote. All the men saying "wait till you marry" "you're not ready to marry". If you can sleep with an angry person, who isn't participating, just lying down and doing it out of "duty", then you can also rape. You know, it becomes clearer from the mindset a good number of you have towards sex with women, that you don't even see rape as a crime, let alone a grievous one. You show your hands everyday in these conversations, you joke about raping women, you even joke about women raping you. Consensual or not, participatory or not, she should just lie down and "give" you what belongs to you. You show us that at your core, what you really see sex as, is something to "take", forcefully even. We see you, we see you all.

We’re living similar lives.

When I accidentally become important at work and now it's ruining my gym schedule

So depressing.

They pay you salary in this country and you already have delayed bills so you pay them and then move the remaining ones that the salary can’t cover to the next month. This is typically the life of a Nigerian youth living in Nigeria.

Got my salary. Paid the bills. Send money to my parents. Get my favorite food as a reward. Broke again. Waiting for next paycheck

Omo Tony Stark pass my street today I no see anything sell to am

More than the minimum wage. What ever economics this is , it simply does not make sense.

Sigh mehn

It’s me & the hair caterers fl.

@_SlaveInUtero You’ve put me on a mission.

@Ritacroft_ put in water until they develop strong roots and then transfer to soil (or leave them there)
