Nail care tips đŸ’…đŸŸ a thread
Keep your nails clean and dry. A clean toothpick works to pick any dirt out, and always keep your hands moisturized, especially after having gotten them wet. Do try to intentionally keep them clean and dry though, ideally with gloves eg when doing dishes, washing hair etc
Have a nail file with you at all times, and file them in such a way that gets rid of the sharp edges, ie keep them rounded, this prevents them from getting caught
Ok they’re not reading anymore. Ladies, please stop entertaining any jokes or comments that cultivate rape culture.
Stop kikikiki’ing anything perverted said to you. You can be told how attractive you are without it being a measure of how badly they want to take you to bed or be alone with you. It’s ignorant disrespect.
If you don’t call someone out, whether it’s another woman or a man, for being a rape apologist or cultivating that culture, you are enabling them. As a fellow woman, you just can’t let things like “What was she wearing” or “She deserved it” slide.
In doing so, one might ask, “Okay, but if SHE is okay with the joke, why aren’t you okay with it? You’re both women.” And hence, the division continues to grow - the division between the fighters and the enablers. And it’s just going to get harder and harder to bridge that gap.
It can’t only matter when it’s happening to you or someone you know. A female friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend is traumatized for life from something that happened to her because a female enabler normalized whatever deed was done.
I know this something that men definitely need to hear too, but the realization that there are women who are comfortable hearing these jokes because they think it could never happen to them is terrifying. For any progress at all to be made, there needs to be solidarity.
Remember that your nails are very delicate and AREN’T to be used as tools. If your nails are particularly weak, your local pharmacy/drug store should have nail hardeners, and they’re usually very reasonably priced.
And finally, acetone-free nail polish remover is also highly recommended as acetone can dry out your skin and nails. Remember to love your nails babiesđŸ„°
