@IrisKalmia any suggestions for how to talk about it (other than the honest “I don’t like it”)?
@Leucrotta @IrisKalmia the honest way seems like a pretty solid tactic -- "nah, I just didn't like it & wanted to see how it looked without" is a full explanation for *most* changes in grooming, and if they try to make it weird there's always "huh, what a strange thing to say!"
basically making it as boring of a topic as possible
@mxsparks @IrisKalmia thanks to all three of you!
@Leucrotta I think thats about the only real option, that or long sleeves as Vy mentioned
