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.
