Why I'm Broke
I spent wayyyyyy too much money on makeup today and I was both questioning my own judgement and completely content with my decision while I was leaving the store so I guess that’s a good thing…?

hi! this is a list of my favourite makeup products for every step!
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
primer - the porefessional lite primer! its my favourite pore blurring product ever! very light, i can barely feel it there. it also makes my skin very soft and works well over and under makeup!
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
foundation - i typically don't wear foundation, but if i do i like to use the too faced born this way foundation! its very light and not clumpy!
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
concealer - maybelline age eraser concealer is my absolute favourite concealer! it lasts all day without being clumpy! looks very natural.
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
contour - i don't use a lot of contour, because i only contour my nose. i use the fenty beauty match stick in amber suede, its so creamy and goes on smooth!
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
blush - r.e.m. beauty's eclipse blush and lipstick in the shade "audition" is my favourite blush ever! although it isn't the most pigmented, it stays on all day and is really good for on the go makeup application.
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
highlighter - fenty beauty will always have a special place in my heart, and this is the case when it comes to highlighter. their diamond bomb all-over highlighter is AMAZING! its not too dramatic, and it gives your skin a soft glow.
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
setting spray - the porefessional super setter spray is awesome! surprisingly, it makes my makeup last all day with a matteish glow. it smells amazing too.
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
mascara - i know that you've probably heard this sooo many times before, but the too faced better than (the s word 🤭) mascara is the best mascara ive ever used! it can be clumpy when first applied, but when you brush it out with a lash brush it looks so cute! very volumizing and clean looking! also, the packaging is super cute.
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
lip products - to finish off this list, i want to talk about my favourite all in one lip product ever, the epitome of ldr coquette sadgirling, the dior addict lip oil in the shade rosewood. it really pulls the whole look together, and is not too overdramatic.
₊ ୨ ʚ . ɞ ୧ ₊
thanks for reading my silly little ramble about makeup, and i hope you have a good rest of your day

As a fandom we don't exploit the potential of the Far Star crew enough
as the title says. If you think about it the Far Star is literally:
32-year-old banished senator, A+ intuition, clotheshorse, would shag local political officials to continue his mission but disapproves of old man and young hive mind love.
Old man minor historian, nerd, divorced, in love with a woman half his age for some reason and lets her mind-fuck him with global hive mind stuff.
conventionally attractive female that's part of a global collective with overflowing motherly love. Also in love with old historian above.
a 14-year-old child they picked up on some planet.
a computer that the said banished senator is basically in love with (they hold hands mentally)
Seriously no one's doing it like Asimov. What a hell of a crew.
pretend im not a year late to this meme
BLOWS UP!!
Aaaaaaa I love this so much thanks you! I love how everyone looks in your style! Hari looks like an Absolute potat and very squishy, Dors has that Square+Circle in her and the way you rendered her Hair >>>
Raych Is tiny 🤏 and Love Yugo starry clothing! Yugo Amaryll my beloved
And Daneel chilling with Pancak Is the cherry on top!

It should not be any surprise that a majority of the Happiest report countries in the world, also have the highest reported intellect, education and success. One such country, Finland, is consistently praised for various reasons. It has great access to nature (including the Northern Lights) and a clean environment, there is a real sense of community as it is not uncommon for people who have lost their wallet to have it returned and high parental leave for all parents; and there is a great freedom to express oneself as seen with the creativity that has pushed design boundaries, created mobile games and metal music.
While not the only foundation of these achievements, another instrument of this success is the love Finland has for their books and public libraries. Noted as the country that takes out/borrows the most libraries in the world these libraries truly are epicenters of the community where new and established residents may learn, explore, think, question and grow

If you want to read Asimov’s Foundation series, here is some info on the series plus my recommendations!
(The whole shebang is under the cut :3)
There are seven books overall, with The Foundation Trilogy, two Sequels, and two Prequels.
The Foundation Trilogy
Foundation (1951)
Foundation and Empire (1952)
Second Foundation (1953)
Summary: The Galatic Empire has existed for over ten thousand years, and for its Emperor and citizens, there's every confidence it will continue forever. Only mathematician Hari Seldon and his associates know the dire reality: the Empire is dying. Using the advanced mathematics called “psychohistory,” Seldon predicts the Empire's fall and the era of devastating barbarism that will follow. In order to reduce that inevitable dark age from 30,000 years to just 1,000, Seldon establishes two Foundations, guided by psychohistory, at opposite ends of the galaxy.
Sequels
Foundation’s Edge (1982)
Foundation and Earth (1986)
Summary: Former Naval officer and Terminus Council member Golan Trevize, along with his companions, search for the origins of humanity - the planet where humans evolved. (Spoiler/not spoiler - it's Earth)
Prequels
Prelude to Foundation (1988)
Forward the Foundation (1993)
Summary: This is the history of Hari Seldon - leading up to the events of Foundation (1951). With unlikely and unlooked for help, Seldon develops psychohistory to the level needed to enact the Seldon Plan (as it would later be known) and establish the two Foundations.
As with many early SF works, Asimov wrote the content of Foundation as short stories that were published in SF magazines. In 1951, those short stories were compiled and published as the first book in the series, Foundation.
First, Asimov wrote The Foundation Trilogy, and it was hugely popular. About 30 years later, Asimov’s publishers persuaded him to answer the call from fans for more Foundation content (and their own call to make them more delicious money huehuehue). Asimov got to work and produced the two Sequels and then the two Prequels.
Okay so here’s what I recommend:
🔆 Remember, these are only my opinions! Take from them only what you will, and definitely don't take them as rules for how to read the Foundation series, please! 🚀
Read The Foundation Trilogy first. DO NOT start with the Prequels.
If you want to read all seven books, I recommend you read them in the order they were published, which is the order I’ve listed above. (Foundation Trilogy, then Sequels, then Prequels.)
Treat The Foundation Trilogy, the Sequels, and the Prequels as different series.
Technically, all seven books take place in the same universe, however, Asimov wrote the Sequels and Prequels decades after he wrote The Foundation Trilogy. He did a lot of ret-conning. A lot of it was to tie the Foundation series into his Robot and Empire universes and connect them all into one.
Personally, I found a lot of that ret-conning unsatisfying in a way that detracted from the spirit of the original three books.
That being said, I did enjoy them, especially the Sequels, but as separate stories from The Foundation Trilogy.
Again, this is just my view of things, others have found the Sequels and Prequels to be great additions to the original stories. So take this advice with a grain of salt.
The Prequels are optional.
The Prequels describe Hari Seldon’s life and how he developed psychohistory and planned the two Foundations. To me, going into all that detail “ruins the magic.” I really appreciated not knowing too much about Seldon in the original trilogy.
Knowing so much about Seldon clashes with the major theme of the Foundation series: that the course of history is influenced by masses of people, not individuals. (Don't worry, this is said right at the beginning of Foundation, so no spoilers.)
Knowing less about Seldon makes his character more impressive and mysterious, and I liked it that way. (Again, it fits with the overall theme.)
Revealing so much about him was like revealing too many details about the origins of the Xenomorph in the Alien movies - when we get to know too much about the alien, she becomes less scary.
This is a continuation of my recommendation above. Again, other readers have enjoyed the Prequels and maybe you will too! My advice is merely a reflection of my own experience with the books, and it’s up to you to weigh the opinions and info to make your own decision.
Overall, the Foundation series is wonderful. If you decide to read all or part of the series, I really hope you enjoy it!!!
Fun tidbit for anyone who’s starting to read Asimov’s Foundation series:
Hober Mallow is canonically gay. Asimov doesn’t come out and say it but HO BOY does he imply it. See the scene where Mallow and his “friend” Ankor Jael are hanging out naked in a sunroom.
