From 2021–2025, whilst(!) my studio was open, I gave $54/month to @realrentduwamish.bsky.social, totaling $2,484. 100% supports Duwamish Tribal Services and the Duwamish Longhouse. As I close this chapter, I’m grateful: small, steady contributions do add up. #perfumesky

At “DYSPHORIANA” by VIN + OMI for #LondonFashionWeek, you’ll find my Filigree & Shadow fragrance samples in your bag: Notget, Blume, and an exclusive, We Are the Earth Intruders, using UK invasive species. Perfume is art—and art can change the world, if you let it. #perfumesky

I finally remembered to do something with the purple carrots Justin bought! Ingredients • Carrots (I had 5) • 3 Tbsp olive oil • 1 Tbsp lemon juice • 1 Tbsp liquid smoke • 1 tsp salt • 1 tsp pepper. Preheat oven to 355° F (180° C) 1.

A fun (fun? sure, let’s go with that) problem to have: bottles but no boxes. Currently waiting for my printer to ship my box reorder. 🤞 But I did finish all of my orders and am walking them to the post office, so mayhaps I will treat myself with a chai. #perfumesky

💥 BOOM: JJ in DC noted that he’s been struck by just how opaque the process is. DHS contracts with CSI Aviation, which works with subcontractors including GlobalX, Avelo & Eastern Air Express. Those firms work with FBOs like Signature Aviation. www.huffpost.com/entry/bill-g...

The last bottle of Laughing with a Mouthful of Blood has been sold.

My restock of note cards arrived! Thank you, everyone, who looked the other way at my use of extra envelopes as interim stationery.

I dreamt that I couldn’t solve 9^3 and I kept trying to work it out as 9 x 9 x 3 instead of 9 x 9 x 9. When my alarm woke me up, I immediately knew the answer was 729. I also wanted to call out sick, but I couldn’t remember the name of my employer. In reality, I’m self-employed. Anxiety, man.

Just another day in #Seattle. Those of you familiar with local goss on TikTok will understand this text exchange with my husband.

I have 31 bottles remaining. FYI (btw).

James Dobson is dead.

Since the launch of Laughing with a Mouthful of Blood, we’ve donated a combined total of $3,552.50 to @brigidalliance.bsky.social and $2,462.25 to Just Us at Oasis Center. And we’ll keep donating with every bottle sold. #perfumesky

I wish I had used more swear words.

And THIS motherf—lovely human being came by my studio to interview me for some god unknown reason. Please enjoy. Or don’t. You have free will, after all. #perfumesky

Bad news bears, kids: my fragrance studio will close Tuesday, September 30th. If you love a fragrance (or more) of mine, stock up now. #perfumesky

NO WORDS.

A friend of a friend was able to procure this for me. In case you’re wondering, there is no safety net for Coloradans who are losing their access to #SNAP and #Medicaid. What we’re about to experience after a Cassandra predicament is normalcy bias, followed by a massive shift in the Overton Window.

Because of your generosity, so far we’ve donated $1,911 to Anera, directly helping people in Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan. #perfumesky #palestine

You can’t schedule posts on Bluesky – wait, can you? No, you cannot – so I’m letting all of you know all day Saturday, and half of Sunday, I’ll be doing a Buy One Get One promotion for my 51st birthday: buy a bottle at full price, get one for 50% off. No limit. Okay bye. #perfumesky

Gorl, you’re not intolerant to wheat, you’re intolerant to mediocre white men.

I’m going to bed now, so that’s it for discovery sets.

Wearing Brume by @miskeoparfums.bsky.social today because I am yearning for foggy weather. #perfumesky

I turn 51 on Saturday, so I go to bed early—as a TikTok creator recently called me, I am an “an old man.” When I tell you today is the last day you can buy a discovery set on my site, this does not mean you have until midnight tonight. I’m pulling the plug before I go to bed around 9:30pm.

It’s true: one mustn't dawdle!

I switched to AppleCare One for my iPhone, and that allowed me to add my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro (both expired) for coverage. My AirPods are under AppleCare+ for $1.49/month. 4 devices, 2 with expired coverage, now covered for $21.48 per month (plus taxes & fees (I’m assuming)). But does it math?

Me updating my studio policies to specify “Children are not allowed in the studio” to mean adults 21+ only.

Pudge wants you to know he’s ready for dinner, even if it’s thirty minutes beforehand. #catsky

Dupes are to perfume what autotune is to pop music.

Colorado librarians: Have you heard of any programs in Colorado that are available for people who might be losing their access to Medicaid? I’m not entirely sure what keywords to use for a successful search of the topic. #coloradosky #librariansky

Once during a session, my therapist asked me, “Why do you have to forgive?” I think about that question all the time.

Waiting to leave Chicago. Family of 11 on the flight trying to switch seats with passengers as everyone is trying to board. The flight attendants are NOT having it. Us in first class: 🍸 👀 👂 #deltasky

July 24, 2025 at 9:49 AM Central Time I WAS RIGHT!

A complicated kindness

July 31st is the last day for discovery sets. After that, only full-size bottles remain, waiting for their forever homes. Consider this your gentle nudge (with elbows).

Internal Me: “Should I get a smart watch?” Matryoshka Me: “You walk into walls all the time. Every Swatch watch you owned had its crystal scratched—even with the crystal protection band. You are absolutely not getting yourself a smart watch!” Internal Me: 👀

New episode of Goth Fragrance Dialogues just dropped with the brilliant @immortalperfumes.bsky.social We talk gothic inspirations, and how storytelling lives inside every bottle. Full interview now on YouTube. #GothFragranceDialogues #ImmortalPerfumes #FragranceCommunity #perfumesky

Living in an apartment building after being a homeowner has cemented my belief that people stopped giving a shit about others a long time ago.

“I love em dashes and AI is making them suspicious and I hate it.” I feel SO SEEN.

I am honoured to be on ADL’s list. And look forward to continuing to piss off the right people. It’s almost 13 yrs now since this www.feministgiant.com/p/the-wonder...

Immortal Perfumes is thirteen. A number rich with symbolism—mystery, transformation, the threshold between worlds. What began as a whisper of an idea has grown into a cabinet of fragrant curiosities, and I’m endlessly grateful to you for walking this scented path with me. (Continued ⬇️ )

This is from the middle of my story, “Looking for Bigfoot,” which was published by Little Fiction (they’ve been on hiatus a long time, but their archives are still up—check them out at www.littlefiction.com/beta/Home.html). #1LineWed #QueerWriterSky

I stated this elsewhere but it bears repeating: when perfumers asked influencers to stop promoting dupes of their fragrances, and words fell on deaf ears, seeing an AI-generated perfume influencer draw ire is some next-level hubris.

@filigreeandshadow.co - The Purest Blue (2021) Yes, I blind tested this directly on my skin. Yes, I gasped when I read this is only one accord (Mysore Sandalwood). Yes, I am blown away right now. No, I have no regrets about my decisions. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Look at me, using my Patreon! I wrote a little something to kickstart my series on emigrating to Belgium.

Fun fact: I keep a lock of Hegel’s hair in a locket.

The evil king watches as his decisions crumble our plans. He's too stupid to realize his tower is crumbling, too. Gunet by @filigreeandshadow.co is the resinous smoke of burning battle plans, now rendered useless. #SotD #Nonbinary #PerfumeSky #tarot

No employees here to open the gym, but someone left the elevators unlocked. The doors were opened for everyone standing outside, and folks checked themselves in save for a few that are worried about trespassing. This will no doubt be studied for years.
