despite the goofus title, the content of this article is sensational.

i agree, generally. i grew up tanned and sunburned in the southwest desert. i do not wear sunscreen for a variety of reasons, mainly because of the carcinogenic chemicals in it which are heat activated (which seems...counterproductive). i have, at 40, already had skin cancer removed, so i am much more careful about too much sun. plus: i live in oregon.

circuitously returning to the title, i don't cosplay skin color for online use: it causes real-world actual racism and creates circumstances where skin color is an in-person joke because of flipped narratives. i'm a white liberal jewish woman and i don't discuss pronouns. i know that's confusing.

Genuine question: is it possible that you got skin cancer because you didn't wear sunscreen?

genuine answer: i wore sunblock as a child, as did most people. adult choice to cease after researching. i also grew up in the desert - sun exposure is intense and frequent. biology imbalances and cellular degradation in tcells due to toxic exposures manifest in a variety of ways - including carcinoma/melanoma/basal cell irregularity. it's not just one cause.

metaphorically, before i got fried, i was so far underground it was the complete opposite problem.

doesn't matter anymore now. all burned.

too late. 🎈
