the last 2-3 years have become a fuzzy scratch…. with bits and pieces that stick out as positive in a mire of blur. ……… which should be scary or upsetting… but deep down, its p what i was aiming for even if i didnt know it. pouring alcohol over the open wounds to clean the puss… until the wound could heal even with a scar. damaging memory to erase memories of terror, abuse, and stress. like pencil lines pressed too deep into paper… the marks are still there, but the shades have been erased. ….. i should be holding every memory and time in my life, proud, keeping them as part of me changin….. but some things i dont want to hold… some things i dont want to have inside to permanently damage. i should be upset that …. but its really hard to be upset about that… to regret erasing the pain and terror.
Been slowly refinding the joy in my personal art cause was in a slump for a bit; got some new stuff almost done I’m excited to share, but in the meanwhile also got into coloring books? 😛 Been wanting to ages an finally got some momentum for enjoying it~

Apparently boomer Democrats are having meltdowns over a gen-z progressive who is primarying an 80 year old Democrat because she “went on trans podcasts” and wore a Charizard kigurumi
males are always the “normal” or “default” and women are the “other” tbh it feels like they just cant imagine women having inner lives or…. almost like they cant bare reading it and imagning women are complete people or… something. …… at least thats the vibe im getting. shfhhfg didnt they just rant about “if you dont see yourself or what you want to see in media… make it yourself”? tell john a to go write male power fantasies for himself.
I’ve noticed more and more in public bathrooms that people skip the handwash and just take a squirt of hand sanitizer from wall dispensers on the way out. hand sanitizer is NOT effective against most things that come out of your ass. i cannot stress this enough. i’m begging y'all. please. please please please please please use the soap.
i’m out here immunosupressed fighting for my life to not get naturally selected while people around me touch a public toilet handles and walk back to their tables to immediately eat a burger
Thank you for bringing this up! Many hand sanitizers and household cleaners proudly claim to “Kill 99.99% of germs.”
In fact, this does not mean that the product kills 99.99% of all germs known to exist.
It means that, during product testing in a controlled environment, the product killed 99.99% of the germs it was specifically tested against. As you might imagine, Lysol isn’t testing its kitchen disinfectant spray against millions and millions of unique microbes.
In the U.S., labeling laws usually require that companies actually identify somewhere else on the label which germs are being tested and killed. Next time you see a “kills 99.99% of germs” label, check out the rest of the label, and you’ll find the small print which specifies that it kills 99.9% of one type of flu, or Covid, or E. Coli, etc. This is why many labels even include an asterisk, i.e.: “Kills 99.99% of Germs!*” Look for the companion asterisk elsewhere on the label for more info.
The way we kill these germs to prevent infections varies based on the germs’ structure. Essentially, we need different “weapons” (cleaning methods) to fight different microbes. A product that kills Flu Viruses and E. Coli can’t necessarily destroy Norovirus or Giardia.
No product is effective against every type of germ, even common germs which regularly cause illness in households and communities.
Hand washing is effective against more germs, not only because it can destroy germs which hand sanitizer cannot, but because it simply washes them off your hands.
People raising important notes here, like allergies to hand soaps in public toilets or the fact that public toilets often don’t bother to refill their dispensers. My advice is to grab an empty little hand sanitizer bottle and put some hand soap in there. Or cut a small sliver of bar soap and keep it in a durable lil’ ziploc bag. I’m not being funny. If access to soap is prohibitive to handwashing in your day 2 day life, bring the soap with you. You can take your fate into your own (clean) hands.
as a janitor i can vouch. hand sanis are last resort, they are designed for general and kitchen bacteria… bathroom bacteria cared out of your body with your waste is actually easier to break up with soap, and that which doesn’t get decimated, will be surrounded by it and washed away. soap is designed for this job.
