It depends on the style he's going for! Aesthetic is important.
At the very least, for makeup, I suggest Essence brand. Cheap, but decent, and lots of options for exploring.

LOLL well, to be fair, that's where most of em come from (China, anyhow.)
There's no regulation on what they're made of or their safety because they're labeled as "Novelty" πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚ so if you buy one from Adam and Eve, you can get the same one on Temu most likely. Weird AF tho, I know.

I used to be late to work waiting for Lady Gaga videos to drop, because they always came at 4pm and my shifts often started at 4:15, 4:30. LOL

Lather/rinse/repeat:

-- Trump/MAGA sow fear with manufactured crisis to justify power grab

-- Rational people point out there is no crisis, claims are bullshit, fear is irrational

-- Centrists scold rational people for callously dismissing of "real fears"

-- Trump power grab succeeds

Many songs I'm still working on discovering from my early life. Sometimes 25-30 years before I figure them out. Still more to search.

Totally understand that.
Either way, I think any solution that is reached will be difficult for you. I'm sorry you have to endure that. I hope they will come to understand that being so callous and thoughtless leads to pain not only for you and others, but them as well in the future.

I don't know the entire context, but this feels like a snarky jab rather than a foolish take. Feels disrespectful.

For my grandmother, the love I had for her was endless, but her beliefs were broken. We had to agree to NEVER speak of political matters - PERIOD.

Dude, I just want to say - no joke, you are one of the best artists I've ever seen in my entire life. Your ability to drag your imagination out onto paper is next level. I love it.
Anyway, I will be picking this up for sure!!

A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond.

The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs.

ICE agents are harassing the courthouse volunteers who assist besieged immigrants "They want to be doing this with no witnesses."

β€œThey don’t want anyone to see how they treat people. They want to be doing this”—their deportations—”with no witnesses.”

Anyway, it's all about embracing the things/people/situations I love and tempering despair/anger/pain by allowing myself to feel it, but not letting it control and color everything in my life. Life can be hard and wonderful both.

3. My best friend died in a similar car accident. I got hit on his birthday. The gratitude I felt was so fucking immense.

There's a list of other things, but yeah.

Also one of my favorite songs was playing when I got hit, during the line "If you bend it doesn't mean you have to break."
Bruh.

1. I was T-boned. That car has a terrible side-hit rating and I often worried about it. But I came out completely unscathed. I felt my car had protected me.
2. Only a month previous, I discovered my missing beloved music after 25 years. I went home and listened to those CDs and danced.

My car was totaled by another in July, no fault of mine. I immediately cried my eyes out and felt so hopeless. That car was a gift from my husband when we married (it was my dream car since I was like 16). I STILL mourn that vehicle. The idea that it's going to be scrapped hurts, but...

I often say I practice "Radical Positivity" - which, if you know about toxic positivity, you might think is related. But they are not. Radical Positivity does not ignore pain, sorrow, or harsh truths. It does not deny despair. It simply tries to be stronger than these things. E.g...

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

Why are Senate Democrats acting as though they will be responsible for a government shut down when the Republicans control the White House, Senate and House?

If there is a government shut down, it’s on the Republicans – they have control and they are responsible for this abominable bill.

Paul Tibbets in the Enola Gay,  which dropped the first nuclear weapon used in war on Hiroshima.

The Department of Defense has flagged the removal of photos of the Enola Gay, which dropped the nuclear weapon on Hiroshima, piloted by longtime Columbus OH resident the late Paul Tibbets, because the word "gay" appears in its name.

No kidding.

His granddaughter is understandably upset.
