Being a writer, whenever I'm stuck I surf eyeliners. Right now I'm looking at a marine blue and a landscape green...
I must confess that I am forever in search of the perfect purple eyeliner and I have yet to find it.

So much disappointment.

Blues and greens never disappoint.

High pigment, vivid purple is becoming my elusive and holy grail.
When you have neon yellow (any neon really) hair, your purple either pops or flops!

In search of the pop...

My favourite part of the day: holding a brush in one hand and a pot of eyeliner in the other as I apply the colour of the day around my eyes.

As I hold that brush, I feel like a calligrapher, writing a letter of love to myself. 📷 @rerutled

I consider my handiwork both homage and healing.

Homage because (of course) my people of Egypt - men and women of all social classes - were wearing eyeliner as early as 6000 BC.

Being a writer, I am particularly delighted that the hieroglyphic term for makeup artist derives from the root “sesh,” which translates to write or engrave.

The ancient Egyptian word for “makeup palette” derives from the word meaning “to protect.”

A thread for anyone who has ever menstruated and is now in Perimenopause. Anti-vaxxers: fuck off.

Today is 3wks since I got my 2nd #COVID19 vaccine shot. I was so excited to get vaccinated, I dressed in sparkles! I hope everyone around the world gets vaccines soon. W/ @rerutled Robert wearing a brocade pa...
I had AstraZeneca/Pfizer and knew the side effects would be a bit rough.

About 2 weeks after my 2nd shot I started menstruating heavily. I hadn’t had a period since Oct. 2020.
#CovidVaccine
I’ve read up and I know it could be the impact of the hormonal shifts of perimenopause or it could be post-vaccine side effect. Doctors are unsure.

They think it could be a response of the immune system behaving as it should post-vaccine. The uterus is part of the immune system

It is time for men to learn from women how to play football.
1/ #ItsComingHome #EURO2020 #CopaAmerica
In 2015, I went to the quarter final and the semi final of the women's World Cup in Montreal and saw the US beat France in the former and beat Germany in the latter.

If queer is the opposite of heteronormativity, it was the queerest--and joyously so--sporting environment.
The stands were full of outsiders: women with babies, teenage girls-- a demographic I rarely see in televised men’s games--with their faces painted in the colors of their teams and men there alone. #ItsComingHome #Euros2021 #CopaAmerica2021 📷 @rerutled Mona with red hair and a pa...
