Trans Megathread for the Week of 2025-01-06 to 2025-01-12 - Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
(hexbear.net)
Children of Time is a 2015 science fiction novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
In the distant future, humanity seeks to create new habitats for itself on distant planets, terraforming them and seeding them with life. Dr. Avrana Kern is heading one such project, orbiting the tentatively named "Kern's World", where the plan is to release monkeys 
infected with a nanovirus that will accelerate their evolution. Through an act of sabotage from an anti-technology group that has also destroyed much of Earth, the monkeys are never released, and the virus instead infects a species of spider, Portia labiata. The book follows the evolution of the spiders and their eventual civilisation, as well as a remnant of humanity that fled to Kern's World hoping to find paradise.
also children of ruin and children of memory, the sequels, are really good

All this time putting nail polish on you'd think I be good at it, nah just slather on a base coat the polish the top. The polish on my skins falls off day after and it looks like I know what I'm doing
one thing i learned from the 196 matrix beauty room is that you can take a very stiff, thin brush and dip it in acetone and if you get any polish on your skin or cuticle you can just edit it nice and neat right away with the stiff brush. This has dramatically improved the results for me. i usually do 5 coats total and it takes an hour so i don't want it peeling off the next day!
I fr need a stuff brush for this, also respect on the 5 coats
I got base, polish, top, glitter. One more than me
To make sure i get good coverage i tend to do polish, polish, pearlescent, pearlescent, top coat. I use solid color polish and a matching pearlescent to get the shimmer and depth.
How do you add glitter? I have glitter polish i use for my toes but it's a very chonky polish i never tried mixing it in.
Glitter I got two of them one is basically glue with glitter and the other more polish and glitter. Honestly I dab it lightly then spread it as gently as I can to get it smooth. If it too rough I do add another top coat above to smooth it out more though this last time it was smooth enough to my liking
interesting i have some plain fine glitter i wonder if i can put that on before my top coat. i'm going to have to test that out thank you!
Np, while I have your attention can I get your opinion on gel polish. Been meaning to try it but I've no uv lamp
i have a friend with the lamp and they are so nice if you can do them right but you have to be really good about not touching the cuticle or skin and you have to be able to wrap the end of the nail in polish. If you can do those and get a good seal it's amazing!
like if you touch the cuticle or don't wrap the tip (or don't clean and scuff and dry the nail) the whole nail coating just pops right off in one piece. It's trickier then i expected but once you get it down it's so fast.
I have to trap myself to keep from messing regular nails up and i almost never succeed i just get too antsy sitting there.
ok but I do love it when I take the old polish off and can peel it
Big mood I've compromised in teaching myself how to hold a controller without messing my nails otherwise I can't last either
This is how it's done
Never let them see you sweat
(me usually sweaty)
Counterpoint: messy/chipped nail polish and like a messy bun and some kinda worn out punk clothes is a v strong look imo
I haven't actually done my nails in ages lol and "sporty metalhead nerd" is probably more accurate for me but I'll take it
Kinda wanna get some drapery/asymmetrical Rock Owens ass fits tbh, I kinda like that tech/fitness goth kinda look, idk if that's out of vogue or something but I remember it being hot around 2014-ish
If itβs out youβre not unstylish, you are simply bringing it back (Iβd like that look too pls)
Sounds pretty cool still, my fit fell into pile of thrifted clothes and whatever make up I find at the dollar store. I like to thing I make it work
The majority of my clothes are probably thrifted at this point lol
