2 1/2 months on Litfulo. Is this how things progressed with others?
I lost about 75% of my scalp hair, my eyebrows and eyelids, and all my nose hair, over the past couple of years. I started on Litfulo about two and a half months ago. I'm just wondering if my experiences track with others.
Week 2: My mild atopic dermatitis cleared up. I don't feel "grimy" at the end of the day.
Week 4: Velus hair starts to grow back at my eyebrows.
Week 7: Normal eyebrow hair starts to grow back.
Week 8: I caught an ear hair!
Week 9: I'm getting thin gray velus hairs on my scalp, in areas where my hair used to be dark brown. (I'm 60. Before the latest bout with AA, my hair was thick and brown, with gray on the sides.)
Side effect?: My scalp started to feel greasy or oiy.
Week 10: My nose feels tickly. Is hair growing back in deep inside my nose? My eyebrows look kiinda' normal again, but I don't really have eyelashes yet.
Side effect?: Every day, I get maybe two to four small but tough zits, confined mostly to a 1"²/6 cm² area on both cheeks. It takes a lot more pressure to pop them than a "normal" zit. I also found a few little zits on my scalp.

Unsurprisingly, this was the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten.

Does Russia have an equivalent to the American "it city": a trendy 2nd/3rd tier city with a lot of hype and popularity among young adults?
A lot of people aren't familiar with the term "it city". "It" doesn't mean "information technology", but rather, its popularity; a trendy urban center that suddenly captures hype and national attention, gaining a massive influx of new residents, booming tourism, and rapid cultural and economic growth.
American "it cities" in recent years include Seattle, Washington (1990s, coffee culture, grunge rock, Microsoft HQ), Portland, Oregon (2000s, alternative/hippie/"crunchy" subculture, Nike HQ), Austin, Texas (2010s, alternative/"weird" subculture, music scene, growing tech industry, Dell HQ, South by Southwest festival), and more recently, Nashville, Tennessee (2020s, country music, woo girl/Southern girl party subculture). (I've visited all four of these cities, and I lived in Austin for a year.)
Some predict the next "it city" might be Providence, Rhode Island (art and design scene, location in the Northeast Corridor), Buffalo, New York (dense and affordable walkable neighborhoods, quirky local culture, climate change haven), or Columbus, Ohio (economic + population boom, Ohio State University influence, but considered boring by some).
Does Russia have any equivalent to the medium-sized American "it city?" Not Moscow or St. Petersburg, but a 2nd or 3rd tier city or metropolitan area with hype and "buzz" among young adults, entrepreneurs, and so on? A place with an unusual food, art, or music scene, with a growing population of educated or creative young adults?

ICE is bad and I don’t like them.
I know this is a controversial opinion, but I take issue with the agents, administrators, behavior, or the current mission of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security, or whatever federal agency they’re under.
I believe I have seen an unmarked white Ford Transit van somewhere on the 290 within the past few weeks. The man driving it was wearing sunglasses. I could not determine how “tactical” he was, given my vantage point. It might have been ICE.
I also disagree with the vast majority of policies endorsed and promoted by the current president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Found: adorable black cat, Parkside area
Did anybody around Parkside lose a beautiful black cat? He's a big boi, and he makes very loud purr-purrs. He's also very hungry. The poor thing polished off a five pound tub of Temptations treats in about 10 seconds.

Photos of flowers in women's OLD profiles: why?
I thought I'd check out Facebook Dating again.
Swiping through profiles, I noticed that some women have photos of flowers in their profile. Often, they're just stock photos, or bouquets. Sometimes, a profile will have only flower photos; not even faces.
The flower photo phenomenon was around in the early 2010s, when I was last active with online dating. Now, 10-15 years later, looking at profiles of women who are 10-15 years older, the flower photos seem even more prevalent.
I've never seen anyone mention flower photos as an online dating profile peeve.
A question to the women of D50+: what's the deal with flower photos? Do the women with those photos really think it's going to entice more men to swipe right or write?

Dumb question: when you send a message based on someone's profile photo, should it show up in Matches/Conversations?
Messages sent through the text prompt after clicking on someone's photo disappear into the ether, and don't show up on Matches/Conversations. However, outgoing messages to Meet Cute matches do show up in Conversations.
Is that how FBD works, flawed as that might seem?
