I struggle with both acne and dermatillomania (fun combo). The thing which best stops me from picking at my face is pimple patches, and this in turn helps my skin so much. They are usually super overpriced for the cute ones, but in Australia you can get these ones for like $8 for 36 which is pretty cool.

I was gifted a box of these pimple patches by @julie_schott and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Not to mention it was the Hello Kitty collab. I’ve suffered from dermatillomania (skin picking disorder) since middle school which falls under the umbrella of OCD. I used to have trichotillomania (hair pulling) but that just wasn’t visceral enough for me. It’s still a pretty intense source of shame for me but these are so fucking cute that it overrides my brain’s compulsion to rip them off my skin and eat them. That's on behaviour modification purrrrr.

I’m purging after a chemical peel and the most hideous pustule has sprouted forth from my face. Whenever I get a zit here and there I feel so intensely grateful because my skin was terrible as a kid and young adult and I never thought it would be possible to have clear skin! 💌 it really puts things into perspective for me and reminds me of how far I’ve come

Sometimes I recommend being a hater. I’m not here to talk about the numerous quality uses of AI, how often it is actually used nor am I here to critique AI without strawmanning it. I don’t care if I strawman an account of AI because I genuinely despise the way most people use AI. I think AI generated images are ugly. I think that AI cannot hold a half decent conversation. I’m completely avoidant when it comes to showing AI my writing; I’ve never done it and I refuse to. I hate when you go to that one poetry website and there is AI “analysis” there, because its not real textual analysis and it upholds a certain contextualised intentionalist framework of reading a text reinforced in high school English. I hate that the meta AI will influence what products will be advertised to you. I don’t care if it’s the future. I genuinely love being called a dinosaur because I hate AI.

When we let go of the fear we hold towards the smallest creatures of our environment, and learn how to immerse ourself in an instance of nature rather than making an instance of nature our own, we learn to truly be alive. Bugs are great because you can’t own them, but you can admire their beauty. #bugnation2024
