the political donor email lists of course get a vehement ‘fuck you’ every fucking time another email lands in my box, that’s just constant.

sharilyn, as much as i understand why you gave the fucking political donor lists my email address instead of yours, I’d almost gotten off all of them and NOW I AM STARTING OVER FROM SCRATCH, so from the bottom of my heart I want to know: fuuuuuck you.

because I swear to fuck half the anti-drug attitudes out there are because people do not understand that “making a tincture” is the EXACT SAME THING as “extracting into solution using a solvent”. literally. l i t e r a l l y those are the SAME. THING.

My first guess would be by way of the woman formerly known as Fluke because the stylised spider reminded you of flukes and it proceeded from there. (I have had my ADHD diagnosis for years now, and have even had it treated for a decade, but you have reminded me to call the dman pharmacy. >_>)

i have absolutely NEVER even considered playing fantasy football for the social aspect because I don't like football, and I just. I cannot comprehend going to that much effort for a social lubrication thing?? you could just... talk about anything else?? the latest movie? your garden? your pets???

honestly, yeah. but I also am absolutely bewildered by it because, like, no one ever even got me to watch Game of Thrones for the social aspect because it is extremely not my thing and i just wasn't gonna, and at least GoT at least has dragons??

Yeah, he was at the Westworld home show! I didn’t actually catch if he’s local but presumably if he does Phoenix home shows he might be at the next one. And he was incredibly reasonably priced; this is everything I bought from him and all of this together cost me less than $100.

To be fair, it does have an adjustable length chain for the clasp, but this is the length it hit the first time I put it on without making any adjustments so I think the point still stands heh

it’s not and has never been the word or phrase itself that’s the fucking problem, people! it’s the fact that lissencephaly doesn’t make you a tedious fucking shithead of a human being any more than any other cognitive impairment actually itself makes you a horrible fucking person!

niqaeli torres, child of disaster @niq.aeli.net · 06/10/2026
as ever: can we fucking stop with making smooth-brained as an insult, internet. insulting cognitive impairment or insinuating that it’s Innately Bad is not okay, no matter WHAT fucking term you use to do so. ‘smooth-brained’ as an insult is literally just a reskin of ‘retarded’ and it’s STILL WRONG

…yeah, with everything I’ve seen so far on my skyline I’m just really not regretting having given this one a pass. I mean I probably would’ve anyway even if my skyline insisted it was genuinely amazing, but gosh am I being validated!

I feel like it’s good to note when I’m okay with people noticing something like that! because it’s NOT something you should comment on w/o a reasonable expectation it’s welcome, so I will make it clear when it is (within reason, there’s still a difference between appreciation and being creepy >_>).

not linking to the artist’s site only because he doesn’t have one; he only sells at crafts and fairs, apparently! Eagle Creations, but you probably won’t even see a sign with that name on it if you find him at a show. he didn’t have one when I bought this on Saturday, just his stuff out on display.

I am very smug and pleased at the length of this necklace being perfect given I didn’t try it on when I bought it

like, getting the estradiol in the first place here is already hard as fuck! if someone has changed their mind, they’re not going to KEEP fighting to get the thing they don’t want anymore?? they’re just going to ghost their endo! what the fuck. I hate so much that it’s like this. TATERTOTLAND, NOW.

niqaeli torres, child of disaster @niq.aeli.net · 06/10/2026
I just… over in the world where there are free estradiol tatertots in cafeterias across the counter, maybe—I emphasise this is very much MAYBE, not a given—we would need someone checking in with people about the course they’re on? but while we live in THIS one, this is fucking insane!

Lest anyone think I am bringing this up because I am actually fan of handwriting, I am not; I actually fucking hate it! It’s painful for me for more than jotting very brief notes, because I have joint problems in my hands. But it still has utility, even if that utility is limited for me personally!

Like, cursive has utility beyond the limits of certain kinds of fountain pens, which would be why it’s been invented several times over in multiple writing systems.

niqaeli torres, child of disaster @niq.aeli.net · 06/10/2026
I mean, it’s also legitimately faster and easier to not lift the pen from the paper if you’re handwriting at length, even if you don’t have to worry about ink splotching.

niqaeli torres, child of disaster @niq.aeli.net · 06/10/2026
man, it WOULD be a much better world if people could take estradiol with potato—which makes everything (except potato allergy and potato dislike) better—and not… any of the actual options thay do exist for taking it.

My favorite part is how there were people who wanted to introduce them into the Mississippi as a meat animal. Because the South didn’t have enough problems, already.

idk you could maybe make a non-profit work for a publishing hous. like, not caring about a profit as such, just Paying Everyone A Fair Wage For Their Labour wouldn’t be a terrible thing for one! but it would probably be a LOT of pain in the ass paperwork.

@thefourthvine.bsky.social hey is there a copy of I Has a Sweet Potato that’s been imported to DW or no? I want to link some family to it but, ehhhh, yeah not thrilled to link to LJ’s servers. (oh, LJ, how far you’ve fallen.)

(No, literally. Before I found socks I could live with, and directly WHY I *had* to, I got Guest Complaints About She Was Barefoot During My Massage at my first massage job. Because people are fucking WEIRD about feet, and I don’t actually mean in the internet fetish way.)

niqaeli torres, child of disaster @niq.aeli.net · 04/10/2026
For values of “sweet spot” that are “I don’t turn into a rage monster if I HAVE to wear them all day”, anyway, lol. And as I work barefoot or as close to it as I can as a massage therapy and people are Weird(TM) about feet, I really did have to find *some* kind of compromise I could live with.

niqaeli torres, child of disaster @niq.aeli.net · 04/10/2026
SAME. I was team swampfoot for the first twenty five years of my life bc of this. These days I wear tabi socks, it’s the compromise position that lets me to tolerate them: no socks/shoes is ideal, ofc; regular socks are hell; toe socks are too MUCH fabric between the toes; tabi are the sweet spot!

on a bathroom counter, you see a bottle of soy lotion. there is a little post-it note on it with a hand-written scrawl that says “sí, tu eres lotion”. it is such a basic-ass, albeit bilingual, pun but it makes me laugh every fucking time I think about it.

I also am very fond of it! It, as well as sake, tends to set my MCAS off less than whiskey and bourbon or tequila.

it is a deep secret of the Ordwr, not so much because it’s that much of a problem if any one person finds out but they really don’t need the issues of it becoming their gods’ general reputation
