It rained today

disappointed_lesbianI got to take my first walk in my new rain boots this evening. I've had them since spring of this year, when I bought them with my stimulus money, but I hadn't taken but a few steps with them in my living room because the rainy season was over at that point.
The boots weren't very comfortable, but they weren't terribly uncomfortable either. I finished my three-hour walk without much trouble, but I'm not looking forward to doing that again. I guess I'll just not go walking on rainy days. Predicting rain can be difficult when one is going to be out for three hours, however. All my other shoes are very vulnerable to even slight wetness on the ground. Before I got the books, I'd wrap my other shoes in plastic bags before going out on a wet day, even if the rain had already stopped.
The skin I treated with TCA has gotten very dark, so I was worried that I'd given myself more hyperpigmentation, but I noticed today that it's already beginning to peel, and the darkness resembles the burned look my skin had before it peeled in the past, so I'm hopeful that things will turn out all right. I admit that I got a bit impatient with my new skin peel trials, that I treated one or two unacceptably visible parts of my face instead of spots on the underside of my chin or behind my ear, but...well, it's done now. If I was too confident, I'll pay the price for it. And the spots I treated are not large stretches of skin.
I noticed condensation on the windows in my living room today; I suspect that the rain has helped with the humidity in my apartment because there's been no condensation before now despite my running the humidifier all day every day for the past couple of weeks. Maybe the combination of the rain and the humidifier is what's helping my skin peel; maybe it won't peel when there's no rain. That would be kind of funny since the first peels I had, the excellent ones, took place during the summer.
I was just watching an Invidious video of a woman (I assume she's a woman) who said that she didn't want a chest tattoo because chest tattoos aren't "feminine." Ugh. Women who chase femininity repulse me. Brainwashed and lacking feminist consciousness. I mean simply wanting to look a certain way is fine, but to deliberately try to fit oneself into a gender role, a major tool for oppressing women, is just awful. The whole point of gender roles is to box people in...yet people think they are expressing themselves if they try to fit themselves into gender roles. Human beings are such shit animals. I guess maybe it's the ones who are so susceptible to acculturation that are shitty with respect to this particular topic. But they are shitty for other reasons as well, and I'll go into those some day on this blog.
I guess gender roles wouldn't exist if some critical mass of people couldn't be brainwashed into adhering to and valuing them.
