first time seeing one of these four-quadrant charts that i actually enjoyed. not sure if it's a "bisexual perfume," but i really enjoy carlen parfums's "butch femme," which smells like pho (the vietnamese soup) substack.com/home/post/p-...
A screenshot of a Substack post. It says:

"the tasteful twink

i surveyed 12,000 bisexuals—these are the most bisexual perfumes

The notoriously neurotic sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw once described bisexuality as a layover on the way to Gaytown. “When did the sexes get all confused?” she lamented after a bi boy sent her into a self-righteous straight girl spiral. Such a sentiment would surely land Carrie in public relations purgatory today, but this was the early aughts, when sexual fluidity was a foreign concept to everyone except Samantha Jones and every bottle of perfume was assigned a sex at birth."A four-quadrant chart with fem to masc on the x-axis and girl to boy on the y-axis. There are a bunch of fragrances scattered throughout depending on whether people think it's fem-girl, masc-girl, fem-boy, or masc-boy

It’s a fairly standard routine when you get to my age: wake up around 3 am, have a piss, check to see if he’s dead, go back to sleep for a couple of hours, disappointed.

Good gawd, Andy Harris is a piece of work. He’s about to lay the bullshit on REAL THICK about why diesel prices are through the roof, and his town hall audience can’t control their laughter. People know the truth. Even his own constituents are calling him out. #BlueWaveIn20Days

Corgis have the same heat receptors we do, so a sniff or bite of a super hot chili like Satan's Hellfire means sneezing, drooling and a fast retreat. Not deadly, but it irritates.

I suspect Flacid McMango will resign if the Democrats win by a landslide. He's terrified of being impeached a third time, and this time there's a non-zero chance he'll get removed, too. Dog forbid he lose that battle. He'll quit before he's fired. Then on to the sleaziest non-extradition country.

If they faff around for 2 years and don't HAMMER the Republicans for what they've done, reverse the tariffs, impeach some (or all) of the cabinet members, reinstate a proper board at the Kennedy centre, fix the reflecting pool & terminate that fucking ballroom, they'll have a hard time in 2028

I have 2 thoughts about the upcoming midterms. (As a Canadian-Australian on the other side of the world, these thoughts are useless, but here goes.) 1) I expect the polls are wrong, undercooking the Dem approval numbers 2)When the Dems win the House, THEY BETTER FUCKING MOVE THE NEEDLE BEFORE 2028

...when the patio door was open, a blue jay flew in. FIL was carving one and tried to catch the blue jay to get a closer look at the feather colouring. He kinda missed. The poor bird flew around without tail feathers for weeks. The carving was beautiful, tail and all.

My father-in-law was a brilliant artist. Among other things, he'd carve and paint extremely lifelike birds out of tupelo. These are two: an American robin and a peregrine falcon. Both life-sized and both exquisite. We had blue jays in our yard (in Nova Scotia) and one spring day...
