Hey hi sans serif fonts like Calibri are more accessible than Times New Roman so actually it’s not restoring professionalism it’s restoring inaccessibility
Mr. Rubio said switching back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.” Calibri is “informal” when compared to serif typefaces like Times New Roman and “clashes” with the department’s official letterhead. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

Four and a half hours. Base color, full head highlights, cut and quick, not styling, blow dry
Ab to hit hour three of having my hair cut/colored etc. My hair stylist doesn’t get why I don’t come evey 6-8 weeks for this and part of it is the cost (I’m ashamed how much I spend), the bigger part is how long it takes (also not taking care of my hair/toes is how my depression manifests lol)

I usually walk with my eyes down but I’ve been trying to walk eyes up and looking out for any goons trying to kidnap people. And this is the very least we can do: fil them, ask them for their warrant, tell them to suck your dick; call them brown shirts; do whatever to get ppl to pay attention

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.
