Hello girls, let's talk about bone structure 💀

"Maybe lesbians are just straight up chilling"
As you can see she was in fact not straight up chilling

"Maybe lesbians are just straight up chilling"

No , we're worrying about the extinction of the bees

the “do i want to attract women? i guess? i don’t really think about it. isn’t it safer to just secretly fall in love with them while quietly dying inside?” part really hits different now

That “James Charles I know you’re having a rough month right now” line is genius every time I rewatch this vid it’s still true

“I’m not gonna judge another woman for the way she copes with a society that pressures women to be beautiful, while simultaneously belittling them for caring about it.”
GOD. DAMN!

"a society that pressures women to be beautiful while simultaneously belittling them for caring about it."
Wow. so much truth in this video.

I'm a 38 years old gay cis man and we have the same skin care routine. minus the skin care products. i just stare at my face and start crying eventually.

“This woman that used to walk the streets had all this makeup and hair, high heel shoes. I thought she was so beautiful. And everybody used to say, ‘Oh, she ain’t nothin’ but trash.’ And I used to say, ‘Well that’s what I’m gonna be when I grow up—trash!’ And that’s kinda how I look,” Dolly Parton explained. “But I like to think I’m a little more than that.”

"Isn't it safer to just... secretly fall in love with them while quietly dying inside?"
Now that's a lesbian mood

"A Few Millimeters Of Bone" sounds like the saddest porno in history.

At around 15:50 she says ‘if all the men died tomorrow (F) I’d still wear makeup’ and I just had this vision of a male presenting person who didn’t know they would eventually identify as a transgender woman, being left after the men have all died and just being like “... oh.”

That Grad Students and makeup hit preeettty fucking hard for me. I worked so hard to get my skin beautiful after a lifetime of hormonal acne and scarring and then I thought "Yes my reward is feeling like I CAN wear marvelous bold cool makeup without drawing attention to my topographical map skin! But also I was a STEM grad student...and a cis woman... Most of my makeup efforts happened at home at night in my spare time. Because I did a time course biology experiment for my degree (I too rolled out of the PhD with a masters) and I was sleeping in 2 hour chunks, trying to teach and generally lookin' fully diseased with my no makeup face. An old white male professor decided a COMPLIMENT was "well we couldn't trust women in the department back in my day they were all after MRS degrees coming into the lab in full makeup? AND DRESSES? Not you ladies, you're focused on your work" (Mind, when I started as an undergrad researcher I came in in my heels STOCKINGS and 50's retro fantasy looks with hairdos and enough Dermablend to cover the world) My female PI asked if I was going to my poster presentation session "like that" (wearing very light makeup - nude lip, mascara, a little subtle sparkle shadow). Famously at the New Orleans hosted Neuroscience conference a male PI went on a rant about how none of the women were "fuckable" coz they let themselves go/didnt wear makeup/glam. Theres...literally no way to win in STEM when it comes to femme - other WOMEN will keep you in check lest you disgrace the gender in front of the men, and the MEN will try to keep you in check either as that low key "no makeup makeup" or throw a fit because you don't look fuckable to them. So I just do whatever the fuck I want now.

the “isn’t it safer to just secretly fall in love with them while quietly dying inside?” hits different after the newest video, sis was really going through it :(

The production value of that intro felt above YouTube imo

14:45 When I was in all-girls boarding school there was a tremendous black market for 'makeup' & other little luxuries that were prohibited by the strict rules. If you stole perfume samples from a magazine in a doctor's waiting room, or owned even a single bottle of nail polish of your own, you were a queen. And girls would risk severe punishments & humiliation for just 1 day with the chance of getting to wear (forbidden) pink-tinted chapstick. Beauty helped us feel humanised again, our only "attainable" piece of familiar girlhood

"Why is my neck two decades older than the rest of my skin?" As a 47-year-old woman, I felt this on a spiritual level.

"I guess I'd rather think about the Aesthetics than the Apocalypse. And that's the Darkness." God damn, the Contrapoints Cinematic Universe is expanding.

The queen of aesthetics saying she has no style is just objectively wrong.

I love how "James Charles, I know you're having a hard month" can apply to any month you watch this video
