I may have to take the suggestions of several people and offer them for sale online. I just have to figure out a price to at least recoup the materials. I'm not all that worried about the time invested as I have enjoyed this - I haven't done any machine sewing in years and had forgotten how much I enjoy having a project.
Maybe Bri can talk me through how to box up any orders I might get.
Since I work in healthcare, wearing the mask each night I’m at work, I’d buy a couple of them from you. PM me.
Also, setting up something on Etsy might be a good idea.

Well, I was thinking how shit this world is/can be and planning for the rest of my life.
I just want something to be done: Seclusion. Srsly this the only thing I'm thinking about right now. I mean living somewhere in northern Canada that nobody is there.
Just wanna do my PhD and run there. No internet No religion No TV nothing anymore to worry about shitz.
Not exactly sure if this the best option for me, I think I should wait a few more years.
But from what I see, it's going to be worse day by day, so this might be my concrete decision.
See what options are around Alaska. Lots people live there in the middle of the frigid cold wilderness with little to no contact with anyone else.

Yeah I've got few options for this. Idk why but after googling a few, I feel alooooooooooot better.
So I got to this point that this should be my no1 priority in my life. A chance to be my true self and live my perfect life.

For this week, I had four movies on hold. Three of them were ready for today, and one is still under "Available soon, " which is frequently as good as ready, in my experience. Unfortunately, when I came out to pick them up today, only two (Go Goa Gone and Dance Girl Dance) were available. And the one that was ready but not available was this week's entry in the Deep Hurting Project, Fishtales, a movie that's halfway between a zero-effort ripoff of Finding Nemo and a slightly-more-effort-than-usual version of one of those video fishbowls. Also Nicholas Roeg's Walkabout.

It's 3am in the morning and I'm lying awake on the couch. I'm too fucking sick to sleep and too worn.out to read.

Accidentally cut myself this morning. Nothing serious, just a drop’s worth. And I put that drop on a piece of paper, took a photo of that piece of paper, and decided to find the exact color the blood was using a color extractor app. Unfortunately, it’s not quite as uniform as one would expect. However, so nobody else has to do so, I did find that, in terms of RGB values, the red is always somewhere between 160 and 175 (out of 256) and the green and blues between 0 and 32.

Blood changes color as platelets break up and oxidization happens. Those values would change over time.

I took the photo as soon as possible, for the record. I didn't time myself, but I'd be surprised if it took more than three minutes between the red, red, kroovy getting untapped and my taking the photo, and gobsmacked if it was more than five. I don't think it changes that radically that quickly, so I guess this is probably pretty damn close to fresh and this mean of A81010 is as close as I'll get to a true value for fresh blood.
And just for the Hell of it, here's the four poles I used to calculate my mean range for fresh blood colour:
A00000 AF0000
A81010
A01111 AF1111
