loving yourself with Skittles is maybe the best way to. we could all learn something from this wonderful example of self care and I hope to taste the rainbow someday too.

if you mean because people often report seeing problems with their DNA tests or getting results they don't agree with it, it's mostly because people don't understand how genetics works or were told false information about their family history that it's not easy for them to part with.

if you mean because of the sensational fears that your DNA will get sold to insurance companies who will discriminate against you, that's not currently legal for them to do. It's possible it could happen, but it's kind of a far-fetched fear.

I did an ancestry kit and found it extremely fascinating (slightly disappointed there were no big surprises). I will probably do a 23 and Me eventually as well

I saw an youtube video where someone did the 23 and Me thing, there's a lot of spitting involved.

Not much more to say tbh

i mean they falsify the results to please the consumer or affirm what they already believe. hence why you had "no big surprises"

i'm not TOC so i don't know about sensational fears. i just know someone who worked for Ancestry and he admitted they sometimes fudge results when they are confused on how to interpret them or know the customer identifies with a certain region. They are a business first and foremost, and want happy customers.

well considering i have $500 i'd get the highest rated one i can. and i wouldn't answer any questions about my heritage first.

a long-time family friend just did one for christmas. she was adopted so she has no idea what to expect (besides european of course)

nice clothes, like interview-appropriate.

and as far as maid service, nothing spectacular. my apartment is not kept very clean because of laziness/depression so one good deep cleaning to start would be good.

infinity pools are generally safe, but you can almost certainly drown in them

Infinity pools are at their least impressive when you're actually swimming in one.

Truly? I suppose that's true. Have you been in the MBS one? The shitty thing about that one is that it's only available to hotel guests so I'd have to book a room to be disappointed. Dammit.

I bought a bunch of pixies records signed by "black francis" and "frank black" and "charles" at a yard sale next door for 10 bucks. kinda blown away still..some are warped and some have some moisture on the covers but who cares. he lives in town and i've seen him out and about once.

speak in of.self.care, I am thinking of buying a drum machine and just trying to talk myself into it. for my birthday coming up. something nice for myself before I die of old man age.

that and maybe a isolation tank float.

and a nice dinner out.

and maybe flaming hot funyons

maybe buy a movie on vudu

this is a v. good one.

i've been thinking about doing this forever. there's even a place that does this not too far from me. it's just pretty expensive for what it is. like 70$.

is buying catnip and bringing that to the shelter out, too?

option a
100 - catnip, afternoon at the shelter, watch cats go nuts
400 - amtrak weekend. find a place I have never been to and would most def. enjoy seeing, radius a day trip on the train in one direction. hotel room there for one night. drugs to start the train ride properly.

option b
get some monstrous installation artwork that fills half a room. or large format artwork for a wall. investment of joy for life!
(and probably more like 5-10 birthday-money-amounts in one.)

might do it finally this year, only I should treat myself to a home where I can actually put it first.
