Tank Girl was already taken on the usenet forums I was on in the early-mid 90's, Jet Girl didn't resonate (from the comics, not the movie) tankgirl.fandom.com/wiki/Sub_Gir...

Inkygeek is pretty self explanatory.

I need to catch up on my tea drinking (& sleep).

They’re making a bot you can @ into any conversation about Gavin Newsom that will post examples of the horrific shit he’s done and it’s brilliant and I can’t wait to use it.
IT'S HAPPENING! @nora.zone is setting up a Gavin's Priors bot and we need YOUR HELP to populate it. Email or DM me for spreadsheet access so you can contribute!

Today is Friday the 13th, which means Lucky 13 is BACK for one day! 💫 ⁠
This tea has a cult following for good reason. One customer described this as "Cinnamon Toast Crunch Tea" and many others said "I can't stop drinking this!"

I am so tired. Today was a lot. I don't think I'll make it up in 5 hours to attend the bookbinding presentation (it's CET I think) I signed up to attend. Just now getting Roll of 28 up.

The real autistic answer is generally 3-ish (no mushrooms bc of the ostomy) but on any given day & depending on cooking method & current autism food focus/aversion it could be everything is no but 1-2 or I’m ok w/everything. (Except celery)
(Also the list expanded massively after moving to NorCal.)
7 for me how about y’all ?

An outdoor (sorta) day today. Had some stuff to return to Lush (got so many samples! I love samples!) so we went to Bay Street & to check out the new Tokyo Central. The time to go is during the afternoon when it's rainy, apparently.

Why do my blog posts seem to take longer to write as I go? I don't think it's more wordy than the last but jeez. I'm still having fun with them, so I'll keep doing Inkventpocalypse at my own pace.
Day 14! A blue ink I like?! A tea I can't wait to be in stock & more.

Roll of 28 Day 9 didn't help my migraine aura, but if you stare at it long enough, it mimics one, kinda.
(It is packing paper that is embossed/debossed alternately in a way that works like bubble wrap. It's so cool!)

If you use genAI images to market your product/event, in emails or ads, or on your products, I will unsubscribe - not only will I stop supporting you, I will boycott your company or organization.

It is cringeworthy, the uncanny valley images of slim, young, Aryan people that are filling my inbox.

I should probably stay off social media for the next few days (but I won't). They're doing something LOUD in our street (it's pipes related) & even tho I listen to this kind of noise for fun, it's got associated irregularity, beeps & workers yelling that brings my irritation close to the surface.

Paywalled articles that could save lives…

Why even publish them if those who need to see them (& are the subject of the article) can’t pay to read them?

Infuriating.

Accidentally went down a citrus fruit rabbit hole and posted this after midnight, but only just. Here's Roll of 28 Day 8, a real life bergamot citrus fruit. Not the lumpy green thing the internet thinks it is. I really love the smell (& taste!) of bergamot.

Which one of you recommended the Exploremore Girl Scout cookies when I was discussing ordering some earlier this year?

I have a bone to pick with you.

They’re GOOD. (Opened the box I got from the kid down the street today. Holy crap. These are a PROBLEM. TOO GOOD.)
