it depends on your body weight and the amount ingested but it can indeed send you into a coma!! it's toxic and really effective on pimples

well duly noted, i am not going to fuck around with my tea tree oil

that sounds scary, i knew these were strong chemicals but i didn't know they could numb half your body

i posted about this on the fempire as it happened, and essentially, i am really careless.

to treat cystic acne, ie to dry the hell out of it, i would dab tea tree oil onto my face but i'd use a drenched cotton swab or tissue. and i'd do it while my face was still wet. and i'd use it right above my mouth and under my nose. so that one time, a slightly diluted drop of tea tea oil got into my mouth and then i experienced numbness from the waist down and light headedness for half an hour.

i tried using the fempire as poison control (i emailed the local poison authority too, they responded to me a whole month later lol) while panicking but it was luckily not that bad. unfortunately i did not learn because i had minor repeats of this until the tea tree oil expired and my mom threw it out. i'm currently considering buying a bottle again!

tell me what happened. how did this happen. hypothetically, as someone who just poisoned themselves recently and would like to avoid it but also owns tea tree oil

Lmao

even if the us were to begin a process of balkanization, the irs is how the federal government extracts value from its citizens, so i imagine it'll be the last to go. in many empires, one of the last bodies to stick around has been the tax collecting arm, long after any actually useful offices are closed.

even the ottoman empire, whos dissolution was pretty fast, took about ten years from what is considered the start of its dissolution. the mongol empire, considered to have begun collapsing after kublai khan's death, stuck around for several decades, and that was also considered relatively quick

awh man

i thought i really found a lifehack

also if you vastly underpay for witholdings they'll charge you a penalty, depending on how much by.

awesome autocorrect behavior with "paperworm"

update: awh man it seems like i can't actually do this without a lot of annoying paperworm

keep it that way

not seen the first one

I learned yesterday that my cat has gingivitis. Gotta start brushing her teeth!

great as a reminder to floss

i didn't know my insomnia had an account here

I frequently do! And then I go back to sleep for a few more hours lol

but you're still awake at 4 am

l'ésprit de la douche

i did that a few times, it was great. i keep thinking "i'm gonna do that again" but then not.

It’s 9pm somewhere

but i did not ...'perhaps tomorrow'

I shoveled my elderly neighbor's driveway and she was very thankful, love her

Being nice to random strangers is very fun to me.

One of my favorite parts of day to day life after transition is the exchange of compliments. Being nice to people feels good, and it feels good to have that reciprocated.

My partner and their family got nearly their whole neighborhood in on a mutual aid thing which is so nice

This is what I want to do next. Not sure how to get there but we will figure it out.

Being nice to random strangers is very fun to me. The drivers on my bus route always seem really happy to see me since I am always saying good day and thank you and suchlike. Some have checked in on me after I was gone for a long while.

I should talk more to my neighbors, we've never done proper introductions or anything. I've only seen a few of them since moving in.

My partner and their family got nearly their whole neighborhood in on a mutual aid thing which is so nice. Been doing it for decades now.

My neighbours are all old ladies who are gossiping behind my back :(
