Sure thing! Dead Man’s Dust is one of my magic powder recipes. Despite what the name would have you think, it does not contain any human remains. It is made of chili pepper (or powder), salt, basil, garlic, dill, and lemon peel. The current batch I have for sale also has a little bit of willow bark and angelica root for extra punch.

St. Joseph presents an image of masculinity that is often overlooked - caring, protective, gentle in his manner regardless of circumstances, quiet and humble, doing everything he can for the good of his family.

Both those things are very, very high in histamine, unfortunately, as they’re both delicious and I enjoy them very much. Having worked in kitchens for a good solid 10+ years of my life and hearing just about every old wive’s tale for burn remedies, I can also say they’re not recommended to be applied to fresh burns, as you risk bacterial infection. Especially with things like ketchup which contain citric acid in the ingredients, which can worsen burns/skin irritation. So while I don’t doubt it’s perhaps helped you with minor burns, it’s also something I’d be wary of, along with the myth about applying mustard to burns:

It was something I chose. I've been interested in textiles and sewing for a long time, and took a 2 year college course on sewing & pattern drafting, so getting a job sewing things seemed a logical choice.

Right now I’m working as a part time alterations tailor for a suit store, which is boring work, but I’m good at it and it’s usually not too rushed. I’m terribly underpaid, but I guess... I’m glad I can at least be an underpaid tailor in a backroom instead of an underpaid retail worker interacting with the customers?

I made lye soap for a science project in 4th grade! Ik anxiety is what it is, but I just wanted you to know that if a little kid can do it, you can ��

Yeah, I think my main anxiety with lye isn’t me getting hurt, it’s someone else getting hurt. Like, if I don’t clean up enough afterwards or I don’t incorporate the lye properly and didn’t notice.

Echoing upyrica, I've read several times that t-shirts are actually less damaging for drying hair than towels (and obviously would be lighter weight)

apart from being, so far, unable to find a t-shirt big enough - unfortunately - it needs to be said that I do absolutely not dry my hair with the towel. I only ever wrap my hair so I do not leave puddles on the floor while wandering around the apartment. 

in this house we only use the room’s air and time to dry our hair.

A) Aaaa, I’m so glad to hear it!! I had a lot of fun with Theo’s stimming. I so rarely see it represented in a way I relate to, so writing Theo was such a great experience.

B) Fun facts: parts of Theo and Alexis’ relationship are very much inspired by mine and @wodneswynn​‘s relationship. They’re not exactly the same, of course, but the little things are there.

C) AAAAAAA THANK YOUUUUUUU <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Well. @thebibliosphere​ is the Adopted Internet Mom of several thousand people, and we joke sometimes that we were sisters separated at birth, and I know things about plants.
