opened a drawer I don't look in often and remembered that I have little glass jars of the most obscenely dangerous art supplies ever created just sitting there, and that I willingly packed these to move across the Atlantic knowing that if they broke, everything I owned would become pink toxic sludge. (... I wrapped them in socks.)

(backstory: "Noodler's Inks" is a small-batch art supply run by a mad chemist with bizarre politics. The pink one is the most obscene neon pink conceivable and it will get EVERYWHERE if I open the bottle. Proctor's Ledge was experimental even by his standards and he warned me, as he personally handed me the bottle irl over a decade ago, that it might destroy any pen or paper it touches. The glass eyedropper I used to try it was permanently stained from a few seconds of contact. It's a weird ugly gray.)
