Can confirm: small female cats are the most vicious killers you’ll ever meet

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

When we got infested in North Portland, poison wound up being the only thing that worked in the end. They wise up to traps. It really sucks, and it definitely wasn’t what we wanted.

This is probably the one I’m most pleased with so far, form-wise

First try making one of these out of porcelain instead of stoneware 😬

Still at it with the boats, got 2 follow up posts, with the two newest forms. I feel like they are getting more robust and full as forms, the more confident I get about making them

I can listen to books while working in the studio or while driving. Things I do without active brain work, if that makes sense. I have to be physically doing something, though, or I’ll fall asleep

Other times I try to lean a little harder into my own flaws, because anything worth doing is worth overdoing, right? (3/3)

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

For the most part I’ve accepted it: most of my work is a little kooky and off-kilter, just like me. I think of a friend’s dog I once knew who was born with a slightly bent snout, and she joked that he could smell around a corner before he could see. Flaws can lead to unexpected boons. (2/3)

Experiment with exaggerated asymmetry. I’ll probably revisit this. I’m cursed with Perfectionist Desire: I want to be a perfectionist but I’m actually terrible at it due to a particular chronic variety of laziness. (1/3)

Almost as if its massive show of confidence was all overinflated bluster trying to hide the truth.

Nobody gets a free pass to be an asshole. And yes, one of the bigger lies about autism is the notion that we can’t feel or express empathy. There are other words for that: psychopath and sociopath

Amazon isn’t too hard for me, though I didn’t know they owned Goodreads. Imma have to think about that one, because it’s an excellent tracker for books. Meta would be harder, I still have active fb, ig, and fbm acciunts and check them daily.

This is a potential way to wean off systematically and collectively This particular one is nearly over, but I hope this kind of organization is where the trend is heading on boycott strategy. (2/2)

000

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Continuous rolling boycotts, lasting a week at a time, are potentially more effective than one-day blanket boycotts. This week Amazon, next week Meta, then X, then Target, rinse and repeat in organized cycles. Quitting all the evil corps at once isn’t possible: they’re too pervasive (1/2)

I think it’s more likely that he’s looking to barely comply with court orders: yes, it’s their job to hire and fire, but Musk will be the one telling them when and who. Trump Is like dealing with the Fae: he’ll find a way to obey the letter of a law but manipulate its meaning to the end of the line

And so she goes on the radio, as asked, and instead spends her hour exhaustively describing the affair in question to the public. It’s the only lesson I really took to heart from the whole 1000+ pages of that stupid book. If they legit have something on you, then own your shit and you’re free

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

This has nothing to do with the deadly train, so sorry to be off topic. I have a “the one part of AS I loved” too: after they successfully blackmail Reardon because of his affair with Dagny, they try to do the same with Dagny: go on the radio and agree with us whole hog, or we expose your affair

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Tested my threshold for tedium on this one, not sure whether I’ll push that boundary again

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

I hardly have the following to start the rallying cry, but something to think about in terms of structure: have rolling week-long stints of targeted boycotts: this week we boycott Amazon, next week Target & Walmart, next week Meta, rinse & repeat. It’s very difficult to quit all these corps at once

Also I wish he had said “I did thank President Biden……”

I hope it helps in your case. I know different people have different methods of dealing, so worth asking around more, too

Also on the preventative front, I’ve found that my number one trigger for them is if I wait too long to eat, get too hungry. The migraine will usually hit the next day. Stock up on snack food so you always have something to grab if you get hungry and can’t stop for a full meal

Take D and Calcium in the morning, Magnesium at night. It will improve your sleep quality like you wouldn’t believe

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Also I’m so sorry. I started getting them a few years ago, and I’m sure they’re connected to my cycle Oh! If you don’t already take Vitamin D, Calcium, and Magnesium daily, start taking them. They will help. Wouldn’t hurt to get a blood panel done on your metabolic rates, see what all you’re low on

Mandy Stigant (she/her) @mandystigant.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

At night take Tylenol PM. It will knock you out For the nausea take Pepto. Keep Gatorade on hand, and pound them at will when the migraine starts. Often you need electrolytes. Also try to eat, though the nausea can make this hard Lie Down with a sleep mask on so you’re in the dark

“Shitfuck bananas” is my new favorite phrase and I’m about to shamelessly rip it off from you I’m glad your parents are coming around, if a bit late, and I hope enough more follow suit before we enter into widespread Mad Max territory. Not holding my breath though.

The one that got me irritated the other week was I woke up swearing I heard the specific way my ex used to knock on my bedroom door when he wanted to come in. I was all, Thanks brain, I needed that.

That happens to me too. It’s possible you were dreaming, or there was a real sound that your sleepy brain translated

I usually use my kiln as a giant space heater when that happens. Fire it up to 1000F and let it soak for about 6 hours, it’ll make things very comfy
