Prepping decants of Luctor et Emergo for @porsupah and @pmosetc and now my whole apartment smells like boy-repelling heaven.

@shoutcacophony This is actually a client who continues to call me "queen," like in the drag performer/femme hip hop artist sense, and I am extremely confused, because like...

I'm staunchly anti-monarchist!

But also, I am staunchly for being referred to (however undeservedly) as on the level with High Femme greatness!

I literally received a business email this morning that began “Good morning queen” and like...

Actually, I don’t even know.

@rjt You have it, too?

WE EXIST! WE EXIST!

@Indigopenn Thank you! I really wish I had any connection to Florida that they would care at all if I called, but sadly I don't.

@naugeleh It was SO good for me.

Though it was sadly harder than I thought it would be...

@bedap Do they even *grow* here? Usually, you get frozen ones in the US, which means they don't really have a very strong flavor.

@denikombucha As a very angry heart attack.

JFC, I HATE WHEN THE PEOPLE SPEAK AND THE ELECTED "REPRESENTATIVES" ENTIRELY DISMISS THEM.

I mean, generally I hate this, but it's even worse when they spoke DIRECTLY.

The Florida legislature and governor are trying to pass a law that would essentially overturn the *amendment to the state constitution* that was passed by a *supermajority* of FL voters giving ex-felons the right to vote.

Despite the fact that the amendment is self-executing, the republican controlled government is trying to take this right away.

Call, protest, scream, do SOMETHING, please, FL.

@porsupah OMG, don't tempt me! There are so many other perfume writers out there who are excellent, but I am always thinking about starting to do it.

Which... even if I only had one reader, might be worth it!

For reference, this color is MBA Cosmetics' Aquatic, and I believe they may have reformulated it since I bought it like 6 years ago.

You can now buy it in a tube, but they also do samples (which is all I have, because how often do I wear teal lipstick, really?).

I also love Violet Riot (a pure, perfect purple), Breathless (a *killer* navy), and Virus (acid/lime green), as well as the more traditional hot pink/fuchsias Lovespell and V.I.Pink.

@stackingstones Yeah, see, when it's explained this way (and I remember reading this a few months ago when you posted it initially), it's so obvious!

Literally even NT people can relate to this-- sometimes you're exhausted and overworked and hungry and stressed and you start sobbing over a TV show; sometimes you're well rested and fed and happy, and you relate but don't lose your shit.

This is, dare I say it, *just human*.

@stackingstones "Fluid adaptation" = the color spectrum that David Mitchell (the author who has an autistic son who decided to forgo ABA and just, you know, let his kid be autistic) was talking about? Like, "Today this component is this color, that component is that color," thing?

@stackingstones This would be considered actual torture.

And yet "quiet hands" and all that other bullshit is just forced on someone with no explanation for purposes of... what, exactly? Just tell your kid, "Hey, you're autistic, this is what that means, as far as we understand, but let's talk it out, and if these things don't make you feel better, let's talk it out!"
