It's the color in my profile and it lasts about four months. :/

There's just nothing like it.

To use it and not sell it, I mean. Tried to say both at once.

Kari Dru @karidru.bsky.social · 1h

I'm starting to question my decision not to use it. ;)

I'll miss it so much tho.

I just checked ebay and there are a few bottlws of other colors floating around to the tune of $60 a bottle and I need two. :/

It is GONE. I think i have the last of it. I've been hoarding the last few bottles and trying new brands but none are as good.

Kari Dru @karidru.bsky.social · 2h

Yeah I've never patch tested with this brand before but it seems like a real good time to do so.

Kari Dru @karidru.bsky.social · 2h

Definitely a good plan thank you.

There's no bleach in it. My concern was fermentation or something, where the PH would change and it'd burn my hair off or what have you.

But honestly I'm pretty sure I've used OLD old dye from these folks before because they were always hard to get hold of.

Kari Dru @karidru.bsky.social · 2h

And that seems fixable. But the bottles are shut and I don't think it's changed.

I been meaning to send you the red ones for THREE YEARS NOW sorry. They sure do look like they're supposed to. I'm wanting to use the last of the pimpin purple that probably exists on the planet. :(

They need to sell their freakin recipes.

It's goo in a bottle. It appears to still be goo in a bottle. It's from at least 2020 and may be older... they were always a bit seat-of-pants and they didn't survive losing their facility that year. I bought what all I could as soon as I heard about it. But it's been three years since I dyed.

American politics becomes what it becomes because when people were saying “ Americans don’t protest like the French, Koreans, etc”

Everyone leaves out the context of

How they stopped covering Black protests and no longer mention them

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Yup. (in a panic) "She's going into a negative feedback loop!"

Me: "Oh so her body is compensating naturally and she'll be fine."

Thinking about that sequence in Andor where everyone in town begins ringing bells and banging on things to create an incredibly hostile inescapable environment for the invading forces, a technique inspired by the real life history of people in Ireland doing something similar with trash cans.

No they have completely shit the bed, folk that have been here since the invite days are leaving because of their bigoted bullshit. They hatehateHATE the core community that emerged here and I'm genuinely starting to believe they'd rather the entire thing fail than queers & minorities run the place

Seriously. Is this place a scam, a shitshow, or a complete waste of time? Happy to read any feedback that doesn’t suggest the Bluesky management team haven’t shit the bed on this entire thing.

Due to my watching habits, youtube thinks I am a much younger person, who is in school, and has English as a second language. The constant ads I'm getting are insidious. Just constant "you know you're not good enough on your own. Use this to help".

I can't even be mad at the kids. It's so dog eat dog right now, they think they have to do whatever it takes to get ahead and they're not experienced enough to know what a load of horse puckey they're being sold.
