Coco pics

hey everyone!
i’m a pale ginger graduating college this weekend. I used the coco & eve in medium last sunday for my graduation pics and loved the outcome!!!
I was wondering though- I have 2 events coming up this thursday and friday: nursing pinning and graduation and don’t want my tan from sunday to fade/start blotching. I exfoliated this morning in the hopes that wednesday night I could tan again so it’s ~fresh~ for thursday and friday. however… the tan didn’t really come off! bc I am ginger and usually am more pale, if I apply another layer of tanner, am I going to look DOUBLE tan? or streaky from my previous application?
I appreciate any advice!! usually I am team pale all the way, but school was rough and a tan just felt like a confidence boost. thanks!!

New to the community but not exactly to gardening.
I've got some strawberry plants growing indoors and I'm not sure if they're doing too well.
Pics attached but the first berries that matured were a nice size, but all the ones coming in and maturing now seem stunted or weirdly shaped. Also some of the older leaves are dieing. New growth does look nice and green though.
More details on how I'm growing these: I put 5 individual plants in smaller containers (looking back the pots may have been too small) I had some soils left over from some other projects (coast of main, some worm castings mix, and some others) that I mixed with the original soil and a block of coco coir. Drains excellently and stays moist for 3 or 4 days. Grow tent, LED light on a timer set to 14 hours on. Temperatures are probably around mid 70s during the day and mid 60s at night (Virginia climate) Humidity has been high, but I usually open flaps or turn fan on higher to get to around 60-80% Until they started to flower they exploded in growth. I cut a few of the first flowers off all the runners (only 2 plants grew them, and no more than 2 grew on them each) Started fertilizing maybe 3 or 3 weeks ago, once per week and by what the package recommends: 1/4 tsp per gallon of water.
I planted these at the end of Februrary I think and they're nothing special (home depot stock) but I still love them and want to do right by them!
If I can provide any more pictures or answer anything I haven't covered please let me know!

Why does Nijisanji always have to do this... I've been so busy lately that even the time to write this has been cut down...
You only budgeted less than an hour to write this, you big dumbass
I-
Not only that, you also have to wake up early.
Yes, I kn-
IT IS 3:41 AM LOCAL TIME YOU SHITTY MOD
^{I-I know... please...}
THESE THINGS TAKE HOURS TO DO PROPERLY! YOU ARE SHIT AT SCHEDULING!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is 3:44AM local time when I decided to start writing this. I try to keep a week window to do these so it is really a "weekly" wrap up. Consistency is very important after all. Then I look at how far down I have to go to reach the previous weekly wrap up and I'm just like... "There has to be a better way...."
If I try to write every day on what happen tho and save a draft, it won't flow well and the writing tone will change and stuff. So... I'll just have to do this I guess?... Wait.. I'm already over time... WHAT THE FU-
.... *cough* Anyways.
Do you remember when Fuwa Minato (from Niji JP) suggested to a teen during a radio-callin to "buy followers"? Quite a sh-tty thing to suggest that you artificially inflate your social media followers so you get a fake number to show off. Especially on how much teens take stock on such metrics socially? There is also the question raised on how accurate their own sub counts are now (considering their talent just outright said to buy such things). What bad optics yo.
Nijisanji opens their mouth and "interesting" stuff comes out... Wait.. THAT is the first topic after the last write up? WHAT?!
There was also that picture of the Niji Retirees without Sayu. Link is a direct XTwitter one lol. Tracked down the artist lol.
Also a meme
There is also this post... "If Hell is Forever, then Heaven must be a Lie". Does Vtubing attract those with a different slant mentally or does it cause it? \looks at the mirror* ...* Hmn... At least in this context, a certain company certainly doesn't help at all.
Oh right! Sayu also had her first Honkai Star Rail sponsored stream lol (oh here is also the stream link). Considering things, it is nice that she got a sponsored stream from MiHoYo again. Personally I don't currently play any of their games (I did tho :P) so I have no strong feelings about it one way or another. I just know the lore and... its nice.
Then there is KamiiGOO tweeting on how happy she is. I mean I know that it is being magnified by the context but holy heck is the unsaid parts being echoed out so hard in the background lol
Then there was that post about Black Vtubing companies. I mean, there is certainly to be said about the one that doxxed their own talents. At the same time tho, they are not as big as Nijisanji/AnyColor and how many more people are affected by what they do. Either way, I do wonder how many Vtubing companies have been outed as "Black"... I don't have enough energy to seriously pursue it lol
Then there is that post about Sayu surpassing Zaion. The new surpases the old. Nice
NijiSisters are hypocrites.... HA
The Sky is Blue
The Sun Rises from the East
NijiSisters are hypocrites.
Fact of life folks. This ain't gonna change. They're a bunch of crazies if one is being honest.
\Sees Suisei-sama, have to talk about it**
I... I actually can't talk too much about the thing with Suisei-sama \feels the time pressure right now*. Basically, she turned off SuperChats because she already has a lot of merch that any Hoshiyomis worth their salt would be devouring (\wallet-kun dies a violent death*) so she'd rather save her fans SOME money and go with a merch instead. At least that way, they'll get something for supporting her too!
Iroha-dono must also be suffering quite a bit. As the Hoshiyomi representative, any support for her will no doubt also flow towards partly supporting Suisei-sama too... UGH... The amount of Merch... *hyperventilates* ^h-help...
Oh to be clear, I'm actually not that big of a Hoshiyomi...
That's a f-cking lie you shitty mod.
^{N-No Comment... but I swear! I'm more of a Tako!}
What time is it again...?
^\screams*)
Then there is the Meme that makes Niji Sith.... Heheh... Seeth, Sith... you know?... no? not funny? I-I'm sorry...
Remember the time when (presumably) Niji Management blocked Niji talents from participating from that certain Tekken event because Doki was in it? I believe Vox also expressed interest but it never materialized? I mean... its petty but it still tracks with what Niji Management does y'know? Late addition: One more post?
^{Oh god, I am still at a VERY small portion... I am already past my allocated schedule for this.. I'm cutting into sleep X\}X)
Dokibird hit 700K subscribers! Yay!
There is also that time when Marine-sencho talked about how "Suffocating" it is to be under Holo Management. Here is even a clip of it. To clarify it, she said on how there ARE restrictions and her manager and staff-san are on her case at times. She internally rages about it at the moment (as is normal). However, she also knows that it is because they are also protecting her too. It is not a case of "being restrictive to bully" but "being restrictive because if we don't, there is a real chance of your channel being deleted/sponsors pulling out". To be clear, there is also the fact that viewers have a nice cache of trust on Holo vs Niji that they believe it when a talent says it like this.
Considering who Senchou is and the stuff that DOES get through (for example...), one could only wonder what kind of yabai it is that DOES GET RESTRICTED. Makes one wonder y'know?
Then out of nowhere, a couple of demon guard dogs said "Hold our Bone" then showcased a small spread of their hand-signed postcards for their birthday merch. Looking closely, you can see that they ARE hand-signed. In the context of Niji, this absolutely MAULS and MOGS on a certain someone who got outed that their signature isn't even signed by themselves LOL. Did they even offer hand-signed postcards? Or are they all just stamped? No idea, I never even looked at their merch lol.
Now, to be clear, I did wish Hex Haywire a happy birthday and a very long tenure with Nijisanji (hehe), but damn did Niji Management did him dirty on his stream. Not that I really care nor watch him, but still sucks when they do this.
Oh, and remember, he's the one who f-cked around with the ashes of a friend's dead Grandfather and someone's pet fish. He's not a nice person.
Then there is that Meme about how you avoid Nijisanji without actively avoiding them. Heh.
Oh, this is what I'd like to call "Foreshadowing"?
Apparently Dokibird/Selen is unmarketable? One tweet of many that says otherwise :P Late addition: Marvel Alpha. Really unmarketable huh?
This is also Round 2 of the Transparency post btw. Just a little thing...
There is also this post about Parrot. Damn, it's only May... wait... it's only May... Oh fu-
Oh right, shihomii created the sticky post in regards to making a master timeline of things. Nice.
Remember that Foreshadowing? Well, there has been some posts that popped up on it. To be clear, for a majority of healthy sane adults who knows their stuff,responsible consumption of these mixed drinks wouldn't cause a major problem for them. The Math has been done by various people on it. It SHOULDN'T be that big of a problem. However, it was done while marketing to an obvious younger demographic that might not exactly know when to stop. There is also the fact that NO SANE COMPANY would outright say or even want the messaging NEAR THEM to mix energy drinks + alcohol. Especially on a 1:1 ratio. This is just absolute MADNESS that they said "Oh, yeah, this is fine." and gave the approval. it got even the Japanese government involved. Also, links to posts about this being randomly placed cuz reasons :P late addition: Lamy talking about Mixing Alcohol and Energy drinks. There is even a clip of it! Wild Yagoo appears
There is also a question posted. Why even be in Nijisanji?
Then there is the Comparison meme.
Gotta say that I can't understand Claude Logic. I think I'm better off that way.
Apparently, there has been some Nijisisters who are trying to weaponize the NijiJP fanbase to attack Khyo. Huh...
There is also a post about Polka-sama... Ever Blue huh...
There is also another dokibird W going to AVCon as a guest.
Coco-kaichou mentioned.
So apparently Anime Impulse's M&G tickets are still not sold out. So they increased the limit to 5. Y'know, target the whales :P. It allowed them to sell out on some more talents. Really milking those whales eh?
Artist tries to hide from Vtuber. Wasn't that successful.
So Armchair Expert did a follow-up video. This time analyzing the Zaion situation and how it reflects on what AnyColoNijisanji did to Selen. Obviously people have thoughts on it. To me, it just said the quiet, unsaid parts out loud while also throwing terms that the average person doesn't know about. Things like "Folk Devil". I remember talking on how I personally know about it already and what Armchair Expert's video did is to deliver it in a way that the regular people would understand and digest it. I wonder where I said that... I forgor lol
There has been an update for Kotoka Torahime. For those concerned, here you go!
Grim
^{Halp, I'm losing steam X\}X... my sleep time....)
Crazy Nijisister implies that they and Nijisanji will try to get 4chan shutdown. I remember cackling like mad when i saw this. I was laughing so much that I had to get water. Onee-sama was concerned for me when she saw me barely standing up trying to get water because I was laughing too much. Hmmm~
Remember folks that false flagging is always a thing. Keep an eye out.
Idol Sponsored Dokibird to watch their new gen
So Sayu did a watchalong of Armchair Expert. That was even watched by the mod staff. Thoughts and points were talked about. From both the user base and the mod team. Wild really.
So, Hololive Meet Taipei 2024. Why is this relevant? Well, they also had a Karaoke event (not concert) that can be compared to VR-SG. Pointed out in a reply by OP, it sure looks like Hololive keeps on winning even on a "Karaoke" vs VR-SG. Here is Bae posting some pics (tweet here). FuwaMoco also did one. Here is Gura's own tweet. Here is also some thoughts about it (with pics) and more replies too. This absolutely is just.... I mean.... the Down Under Concert is... a Concert. This is Hololive on a Karaoke!!! VR-SG is a Karaoke (it ain't a concert) so this is the most comparable comparisons. SO THIS JUST PROVES THAT NIJI IS MOGGED HARD BY MOST OBJECTIVE METRICS. Heck, I was recently watching an old hwikky video about AGF and I was struck on how a free DJ event in that convention must have comparable attendance while having A LOT MORE ENERGY to VR-SG. It is just wild really. Late addition: More Screenshots (along with official tweet). Btw, did VR-SG release any "official photos" of their event?
There was also a M&G comparison between Holo and Niji's VR-SG.
Dokibird is also hosting a WrestleTuber event that has HoloStars, Idol EN, and Phase Connect members in it.
Oh, here is a good reminder.
More NijisisteNDF madness. Daymn they crazy.
Dokibird W with AnimeThon bringing her in as a Guest of Honor (that's the tweet). This girl is BUSY. wtf.
Wait, NijiEN is having a *Full 3D concert* at AnimeExpo? Considering how the last one went.. \Are they Sure**?
Bonnivier Pranaja was announced to be graduating Nijisanji. I don't know who this is personally so I can't really say much. However, I don't think his name came up on any predictions at all.
*looks at the time* oh god...
My sleep...
.... *sigh*
Well... I'm all caught up... you are all too... I spent... *checks* ... too long on this... most likely because I wanted to make sure I linked things properly + watched things so its accurate.
I want to sleep.
Ugh.
Thank you very much for reading! I'll see you guys at the next post!
Yours,

Asking for $50 wih $6 for shipping to CONUS.

Hello folks. I would like to give you a heads up and share my experience about this Gibson SG Kirk Douglas 2021 that I almost bought on Reverb.
I live in Egypt and my girlfriend was in New York for a couple of days so I thought why not get me a new guitar (and it's going to be the last one, right?) So I came across this ad by someone called Glenn (Not going to say the last name) and he accepted my offer of $2,200 so I started doing jumping jacks to burn some calories.
But allow me to take you deeper into the adventure As a normal person I went ahead and started a conversation with him to ask about the condition of the guitar and the most critical points as any buyer should, that's when it got weird.
I asked Glenn if there was anything wrong with the guitar and why does the headstock shows deluxe-shaped tuners outlines below the grover ones but he would give me replies like "my technician just inspected the whole guitar if anything was wrong with it he would tell me" then dodge the question which left me confused.
Then I asked Glenn to send me a picture of the headstock of the guitar and he sent me 4 pictures that made no sense to me (attached here) https://i.ibb.co/zhX61Dp/IMG-1588.jpg https://i.ibb.co/F8WXw0f/IMG-1587.jpg https://i.ibb.co/z627qf6/IMG-1573.jpg https://i.ibb.co/9vKTmD3/IMG-1589.jpg as it looks like he has been intentionally trying to show me his face rather than the headstock. (I might be a lover but this wasn't the right time)
Even though Glenn's ability to take a photograph has been tested in the advertisement pictures and it shows no confirmed signs that he has Parkinsons he wasn't able to take a proper picture that shows the serial number
(attached here) https://i.ibb.co/8PkHpdf/IMG-1570.webp https://i.ibb.co/8XM3WXB/IMG-1566.webp https://i.ibb.co/ByW14nN/IMG-1564.webp
My guts kicked in harder than a bachelor night out in Cayo Coco and I started asking more questions about the funny colored knob and the reversed middle 'bucket cover cause who would do that? (Glenn's technician of course) he would reply with the same thing that involved the technician.
So I thought to myself that the best way would be the old-fashioned way and since he had the "Local Pickup" option available this was the right thing to do.
I asked Glenn for his phone number to schedule a meet-up as my girlfriend was going to travel all the way to Delaware to take a look at the guitar and FaceTime me because Glenn can't take a proper freakin' picture but as expected, Glenn refused and insisted on making the whole transaction through "Reverb Messenger" then removed the listing when I insisted and told me that it has been "Sold" what the heck Glenn? I thought we had a deal!
I feel deceived, betrayed and traumatized
tl:dr: Glenn tried selling me a Chongoston
(Pics of the shop attached in the first picture)

i have my little boy on aspen right now and i’m not loving the look of it. i’m considering switching over to cypress mulch, seeming as it’s a little easier to hold a bit of humidity on, but not so much as coco fiber.
wondering if that’s a good option, or if there are better ones out there. does it hold tunnels well?
(included a pic of the baby in question cuz he’s so handsome :D )

So, I redeemed my little Sephora Vacation favorites voucher for Nette Coco Fleur because I love it and have only have tiny bottles so I can add to my travel sizes and first order arrived completely empty having leaked throughout the box. I contacted customer service and received my replacement yesterday. When I opened it, it was 1/4 empty. I contacted cs again and they told me that I could keep the original and the replacement, but I would be unable to get another replacement because that was already sent. Also, I should know that it’s normal for there to be some leaking etc etc. I promptly took pics of the original bottle (empty), replacement bottle (1/4 empty) and an unused Good Fortune travel size which had maybe a couple of centimeters missing to illustrate what a normal amount of leakage is and that there was clearly a packaging issue which is not my problem as the customer. I also noted that I had purchased enough fragrance in the last month to know what a normal amount is. I was given a $15 credit valid for 30 days online, which I will be using on this Danessa Myricks brush I have been wanting. That is if another fragrance doesn’t distract me. Karens do it all day just for kicks. Be firm and get your money back.
