Day 11

“Storytelling is a tool for knowing who we are and what we want.” -Ursula K. Le Guin

Samhain is one of my favorite fragrances, I wear the perfume oil all the time, and I'm now excited for every surface of my apartment to smell like taking a leisurely stroll in your friendly neighborhood haunted woods

Jessica Lee @ninsiana0.bsky.social · 9h

SAMHAIN home & linen spray: "Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein."

I'm contractually obligated to buy any perfume that allows me to smell like a book, and Dark Macadamia smells like rereading your favorite vampire novel in your favorite coffee shop--sweet & comforting & warm.

Jessica Lee @ninsiana0.bsky.social · 9h

DARK MACADAMIA perfume oil: "The warm, nutty richness of roasted macadamia folded into the dry papery musk of time-worn tomes bound in crackled leather; golden drips of beeswax candlelight flicker against polished teakwood shelves, while the smoky warmth of fireplace smoke lingers in the air."

My @bpal.bsky.social Halloween order arrived today, just in time to ease the fatigue & anxiety if the last few weeks.

I'm also waiting on a metric ton of decants, but these two fragrances were so very up my alley & I'm happy they're here.

A 5ml perfume oil bottle of Dark Macadamia, and a bottle of Samhain home & linen spray from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, surrounded by various orange & green gourds.

I want to go to my friend's birthday party, but that will require leaving my apartment (agoraphobia), going to a public bar I've never been to before (PTSD), with people I don't know, and I can't bring my dog (anxiety).

Day Six

In truth, people are more terrifying than any monster our minds can dream of, and capable of so much more cruelty.

I’ve been working on this for 2 years. There have bumps along the way, crazy drama that could be in a soap, but the time is now. Help me build a freedom school. Help me fight fascism:

Day Five

How you respond now, to the horrors happening around you, tells you exactly what kind of person you are.

Any day I wake up not in excruciating pain is a fucking win.

(Physical pain; we don't count the excruciating soul pain).

Don't give up your humanity for the illusion of safety.

It's Halloween perfume season and my Arcana Wildcraft bottles have arrived.

Old Grimoire is currently my favorite because Smelling Like a Book is my entire personality (aside from reading & writing books, and the whole social justice thing).

Photograph of three brown 5 ml perfume oil bottles, from Arcana Wildcraft, with cream labels.

OLD GRIMOIRE The scent of an ancient book of spells, curses, and incantations. Well worn pages yellowed by time, sweet vanilla, cypriol, caramel, salty ambergris, and nagarmotha.

ENCHANTED INK velvety mosses, cedar, wild roots, magical spells, a bit of conifer, a drop of rhubarb, and a tuft of cashmere.

GRAVEYARD DIRT This is geosmin: the lonely essence of petrichor, cool rain on black soil, and the soft desolation of recently turned earth.

Attention: @bpal.bsky.social has brought Snooty Bat back!
