@puddleglum__ The 21 works well on me sometimes, I think like dead of winter, but I turn red so easily in the sun that as soon as it’s not cloudy out the 21 looks grey :(((
I love the texture and coverage of this…more than a normal BB cream but not heavy like a foundation it’s soooo good
English
@prttyvanilla I love the Missha BB Cream. I’m a 21. I have weird undertones and I’ve had good luck with a few K-Beauty BB creams.
I just wish the fragrance wasn’t there.

I think you’re just gatekeeping the term curly for no reason. It means nothing, REALLY, it’s a word! If most people, besides certain bitter women, and you—seemingly—think that hair like that in the picture is curly, then that hair is curly. Words are defined heavily by consensus. Why on earth do you need to insist that it isn’t? what for? why do you care?
Most people consider wavy hair as much less texture/voluminous/loopy than this, nobody cares about the root…
It’s also ofc dependent on demographics, a predominantly white population isn’t comparing the curl of their hair to black hair and coming to the conclusion that it must, then, be wavy…they just see soft, loose, S shaped hair as waves and things more intense than that as curls.
Even this random MA thesis on curly hair, which is clearly oriented to racialising curly hair and insisting that white people couldn’t care for it because of inherent racism, refers to wavy hair as curly—curls as an umbrella and standard term, and waves/coils/kinks as subtypes or denoting the degree of curl.
The blonde in the picture is BARELY in type 2; she maybe has a few 2c strands but mostly 3a and even some 3b…
I’m just not sure why, besides clinging to injustices of the past, people are so hellbent on insisting that most white people don’t actually have curly hair and just have reeeaalllyyy wavy waves
English
@prttyvanilla @puddleglum__ @23skiddsy @mixxedtrash @babooshke I don’t think you’ve actually seen people with curly hair before lol. This goes back to my point about white people thinking any bend in their hair is a curl😂
English
No one taught us how to style it and when we did wear it naturally we’d get bullied 😭

What’s up with all the white people having curly hair nowadays
English
You have to sort the children. Teachers cannot teach 3-8 differently ability levels parallel to eachother…you can’t have skilled students suffer just so less skilled students don’t feel left out???
You want engaging and active teaching, but then expect teachers to just hand out differentiated worksheets without hinting at who has what or verballing engaging w the content in any way
English
What I'm arguing is that you can match a book to a child without putting that child in a named group their classmates can rank for the next three years. The book doesn't need a label on it. The child doesn't need to be a Butterfly. Differentiate the reading. Don't sort the children
English
When a child is put in the lowest reading group, they usually know it.
The name of the group doesn't fool anyone.
The Butterflies. The Robins. The Stars.
Children are very good at working out which group has the hardest books.
And they carry the information about which one they're in for years.
We designed a system that sorts children in plain sight and then wondered why some of them stopped trying.
English
@blushdee4 @puddleglum__ @23skiddsy @mixxedtrash @babooshke wait babe you’re out of your kind if you think her hair is WAVY.
I wasn’t in any fight with you to win, but I can see you’re defending this w your ego and not your mind so I’d advise anyone else engaging w you to just stop now lolll
English
I have no skin in the game anymore but they clearly ARENT. They’re literally just saying that a) it’s not straight hair and b) it’s a subset of curly hair (which it is!).
People ignored wavy hair, saying it’s not curly, and wavy haired people are the ones returning to the curly products etc (which is how they’re labeled, barely any bottles say “for wavy hair!”) to heal their hair after years of treating it like it’s straight, this is a very true point.
This is partly also true that people love to gatekeep the term “curly hair”, acting like the hair in the pic on the OG post is wavy and slamming white girls for using curly products or trying the “curly girl method”, saying they’re forcing their curls etc etc.
English
@puddleglum__ @23skiddsy @prttyvanilla @mixxedtrash @babooshke Why are you so opposed to calling wavy hair wavy?
English

I have my theory about it!!! I think the 90s heroin chic skinny slim serious everything influenced hair changes a lot

yeah idk why people think straight hair is a white thing, naturally straight hair is more of an East Asian thing, I think…but ofc there’s variation across the entire population. I am also skeptical that, given how many people actually have curly/wavy hair, that the “hatred” of it among white people is entirely about race. I’ve never seen curly hair as exclusively a black thing and I can’t imagine that more than half of the white population would be dismissed just to say “this feature is ugly bc black people have it”. I haven’t done research on this, but we see curly hair in portraits, photographs, and trends all the way up until the late 90s. My uneducated guess is that it came out of the whole “slimming down” in fashion and media… models were skinnier, clothes were slim fitting to show off tiny frames, and having big curly or textured hair (even slightly, proportional to the body) would not fit the ethos of the aesthetic. As I said before, I’m sure race played SOME role—maybe even retroactively, as normal black women continued to defy the “standard” since their hair may be harder to just straighten, but I don’t think it’s a simple race thing here
English
@prttyvanilla @mixxedtrash @babooshke It was very specific to a certain time frame starting in the mid 90s to very recently, when people went absolutely nuts for straightening irons. You just look back to the early 90s sex symbols like Farrah Fawcett to see how different it was before.
English
Of course I mention the definition bc most statistics of this nature are self-report, so just ticking about box of how you’d define your hair texture, for example, and not like an actual “experiment” with a curly hair scale and strong operationalised definitions or consisten tearing

@kelly_owl @taybelovedxo No? This is how it showed up for me in the replies.
English
@prttyvanilla @taybelovedxo Is this fake?

what stans of “vocalists” refuse to acknowledge about taylor is that her range is huge, her tone is stunning and unique, and she sings the songs with such emotion it’s as if she’s reliving them. good singers are more than just the highest note they can hit
Taylor Swift FR@TSwiftNewsFR
D’ailleurs, la note la plus basse de toute sa discographie s’entend dans Carolina (B2) et c’est remarquable venant d’une artiste à la tessiture plutôt aiguë.
English
@titobombardiero @WateryLn @JakeArkwright Is this what you mean? Or like the tilted windows that also open in a little without needing to go all the way? Bc I mean the former. Genuinely asking hehe
English
@prttyvanilla @WateryLn @JakeArkwright I’ve never been at anyone’s place here in Poland where the windows were NOT shutters, a lot people keep it tilted or (mostly) on microvent most of the day so that you can get some air without fully exposing yourself to the weather conditions
English
Why would you want a window to open inwards? It renders alot of shelf and windowsill space useless surely?
Terrible Maps@TerribleMaps
Which way do windows open in Europe
English
English
…curly hair is indigenous to Europe as much as anywhere else. I wouldn’t say it’s a community thing, at most it was a media thing. The connotation was that curly hair was free and boho at best and messy at worst, we can debate where that came from and I’m sure race is a part of it but this isn’t a white thing, it was maybe an American thing, but, as said, most likely it was just a media thing.
English
@babooshke bc anything thats not straight hair & euro features isnt widely accepted in white communities . so just imagine being black😭
English
I didn’t want a single black girl’s curly hair routine back in the day but I did watch plenty of other white and Latina girls, or even Asian, do their on 2010s beauty YouTube. Why do you assume everything is about race? and why do you forget that as CHILDREN we were all subjected to the same beauty standards, magazines, and media that showed curly hair as the before…
Does a child/teen internalising The Princess Diaries’ hair scene make that child/teen racist? Can it even be called internalised racism at that point??? When the self-hate is so separate from race and any notion of it that? (Don’t answer, I’m sure you’ll say yes bc race is fundamental to your identity).
This wasn’t ABOUT YOU.
English
@FlowerTower87 @babooshke why are you gatekeeping a hair texture? So unnecessary and MEAN. Nobody is doing 3 hour routine, and even IF, the same could be said about all the preservation that goes into black hair…????
English
@babooshke Yall be havin a 3 hour routine to “define your curls”. Your hair is straight 😂😂
English
@flownepp @prttyvanilla @WateryLn @JakeArkwright Roller shutters are much more common than traditional shutters. That’s why you don’t always notice them right away.
English
English
I never knew/noticed this! Cool :)
I said elsewhere that “Of course, convention and history influences design but we’re really falling victim to the north-American mindset of Europe as a single homogenous blob…different cases in different places I’d guess” and I think it’s veryyyy true. I’m not sure what the catalyst was but I think almost anything we apply to explain the inward windows would just be a post-hoc assessment haha
English
@prttyvanilla @WateryLn @JakeArkwright Most private homes in Germany have shutters. Don't know about other countries.
