SOTD: The Alloy Studio Hypnotic Nectar. Smells like a possibly-magical (???) mushroom soup with basil and rosemary, made by a witch who seems friendly, but you’re not sure what to think of her yet. Good for days when you want to go “goblin mode.” (Some savory gourmands seem good for “goblin mode”?)

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

I know it just released but can we get a silksong sequel thay takes place inside RFK Jr.'s brain?

SOTD: DedCool Sunlit Blooms. Why do I not wear this one more often? It seems so perfect for typical Bay Area weather, especially when transitioning from summer to fall! The salty vanilla almost feels caramel-y, but it’s not too heavy for warmer weather imo? I think the florals help it feel lighter?

My toxic trait is I make SOTD posts without scrolling through other people’s posts, a lot of the time. For some reason, I like to cross-post my Bluesky posts (as screenshots) to my Instagram stories. (I do engage more with other people’s content on IG, so y’all might want to follow me there too?)

SOTD: Eauso Vert Fruto Oscuro. Yes, it is still warm enough outside to wear shorts. But it’s September, damn it! I must wear the fall scents now! This is my first full wear test of Fruto Oscuro. It smells like juicy, dark red fruits, it’s spicy, it’s woody… What’s not to like? Might be a new fave!

okay this is it this is the one that finally broke me

when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work

i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there

Hey Firefox users.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Omg even if it's not real just let me Have this

It's like staying up late to see if Santa is real but we're hoping Santa's dead

SOTN: Ledda 16 Scenic Rose. I wanted to pick something as close to VS Strawberries & Champagne as possible, since my inner child needs comfort today 😭 This is like if S&C quit drinking and switched to matcha lattes. Kinda makes me want to try a matcha latte & see if it tastes like grass to me?

I just realized this is literally Pokemon Go to the Polls

SOTD: Studio Tanaïs Nymphaea + Le Monde Gourmand Lait de Coco. To people who aren’t “fragheads,” the idea of a “creamy” fragrance might sound gross, but I am admitting to myself (+ the world, I guess) that some “creamy” fragrances are good 🫣 I do like the creamy, coconut-y, floral vibe of this combo

Just counting the days until The Announcement

JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH! This gave me old Google back! It killed the AI results dead!

Y'all need to stop using Duolingo. Your library probably gives you free access to Mango or other language learning programs which haven't been sloppified.

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell. It's all about AI. They very much want to use AI. They very much want to use your art to train AI. They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

Did a hair animation with the help of a video tutorial by @sharyap.com I'll link the tutorial in the comments, go check it out!

SOTD: J-Scent Ramune. Of course, it smells like Ramune, but it also smells like those scented markers from the ‘90s/early 2000s. Maybe like a combo of the purplish-pink, purple (grape), and light green (I think? Whichever one was minty?) markers? Very fun, fruity, and nostalgic in multiple ways!

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act. If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification. Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is. Spread this pls. Link: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... #screenact #badinternetbills #stopkosa

#SaveSpeech its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well! PHASE 2: START MAILING PHYSICAL LETTERS imgur: imgur.com/a/3pVupWQ more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

I found her gofundme! She's already raised 41.5k of her 45k goal for gas, vehicle maintenance, phone/internet costs (for posting the videos), food and supply drives for the community, and emergency funds in case she gets into legal trouble:

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms? If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on: 1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player. 2. Click "Report Playback Issue". 3. Select this option. Hopefully this will work!

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

SOTD: Studio Tanaïs Lovers Rock. For some reason, it reminds me of the 2000s? That’s the case for a lot of my favorite fragrances lol. Somehow, it simultaneously reminds me of cinnamon gum, clove cigarettes, cozy homes with warm color schemes, and dance parties? Might need a full bottle of this!

'Hello human, nice to meet you'

⭐ [US] Bipartisan bill S.1993 was introduced to protect artists and limit generative AI training. If you want to ask your senator to cosponsor, here's a link to the text of the bill: www.congress.gov/bill/118th-c...

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word. action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

SOTD: Maya Njie Les Fleurs. I’m being kinda “bad” because my travel spray of Les Fleurs is out for delivery right now, but I didn’t finish my sample first lol. Anyway, to me, it somehow smells both artificial and natural? Like it’s sweet/bubblegum-y to me, yet also kinda minty/green? Hard to explain

SOTD: Maya Njie Nordic Cedar + Studio Tanaïs Lovers Rock. It’s a weirdly foggy, cool day for late July in the Bay Area, so I wanted something cozy that suited the vibe. I’m not used to layering fragrances (yet?), but I think I did a pretty good job with this spicy, sweet, woody combo?

Just got my package from @sydbotanica.bsky.social, which includes 2 additional samples I didn’t order! (I ordered a travel spray of Suspended Water Lily + samples of Butterfly Tamer, Honey Body, Liminal Creatures, and Meteorite. Syd also threw in Protean Desire and Ribbon Dance.) Thank you, Syd! 💖💖💖

My first perfume swap haul! I had so much fun 💖🧡💛

SOTD: @linentutu.bsky.social Lavender Cookie body oil. 1st time wearing it. Need it as an EDP! It’s so good!!! I smell pretty much every note, although the lemon peel note is the least prominent on my skin? On me, it smells like a lavender-y, candied ginger sugar cookie, with maybe a hint of lemon?

SOTD: @sydbotanica.bsky.social Suspended Water Lily. 2nd day in a row wearing it. Trying to get through my sample so I can justify upgrading to a travel spray for my birthday. My sample is finally almost empty! It’s an ethereal, aquatic, indolic white floral, with some sweetness from a melon note

SOTD: Room 1015 Jasmine Freak. One of my faves. Hoping I didn’t make a mistake by wearing it on a day of triggering fireworks in a fascist country, while I’m dealing with on-and-off headaches. I just wanted something comforting, and I thought that a nostalgic fruity-floral would work well for that

•US Intel confirmed Iran has 0 nukes •Iran never attacked USA •Iran offered to revive nuclear deal •Iran is a signature to NPT •Iran allows full IAEA inspections And ALL notwithstanding •Trump had no approval from Congress Trump has violated his Oath. If Congress had a spine they’d impeach him

"AI Chatbot, show me examples of psychological projection."

Announcing the war on social media is crazy work.

Hhhhgh. 🙃

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting against Trump's war on Iran for Israel, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
