i sit down to write and suddenly i am the most distracted human alive. the chair is uncomfortable. my coffee is too hot. my playlist isn't quite the vibe. i need to research what victorian houses smelled like in 1872 for exactly 45 minutes even though my story takes place in space. and yet the moment i'm trying to fall asleep? every single sentence i've ever needed just lines up perfectly in my brain like some kind of creative parade i'll never get back.

had a shower to relax and just argued with myself in my head the whole time 😊💕

While trying to figure out how to travel as compact as I can (with chemical sensitivities), I've run into one single item that is extra difficult to get ahold of in travel size: fragrance free deodorant. The existing brands that would make travel size + fragrance free deodorant also tend to be aluminum free (personally I like the antiperspirant properties of the stuff).

I've tried buying empty solid travel deodorant tubes off amazon and melting my solid deodorant into them (they never re-solidify properly, even after going in the freezer), emptying a travel gel deodorant tube and putting my own in (it wasn't designed to be taken apart and broke), and now I'm going to try ordering a brand of roll on deodorant I've never tried before, but appears smaller.

I'm probably overthinking it, but this feels like it should be a solvable challenge. I wonder if someone would consider making a 3D printable model for a travel gel deodorant tube? It would probably be an expensive thing to get printed, but also it would be nice to not have to think about this issue again.

so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”

but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.

ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.

if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

discord servers replacing forums and similar niche communities primarily sucks for being a black hole of information but a close second is that it discourages lurking. maybe i want to anonymously observe a community to see what people are like and if i would fit in before i start interacting! maybe i don't want to immediately jump in to a spammed chorus of animated greeting stickers on an account tied to several other elements of my online identity! let me lurk!!!

last night i dreamt tumblr added like a billion buttons to the mobile app so instead of this

we got this

and everyone just rolled with it but sometimes the wide naruto got too wide and blocked off all the other buttons and people would just post "got naruto'd again :/" and the only way to reset him was to log out and log back in

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

Mentioned a thing at a routine dermatologist appointment and ended up getting cryotherapy for the first time. My body helpfully made nature’s bubble wrap (aka a big old blister) within a couple of hours, perhaps a mistake as it’s partially disabled my left hand for now and I’m home alone for a few days (I’m sure it’ll be fine but I have moments of ow. I shouldn’t have grabbed the doorknob like that).
