Hello Hyde

help a cryptid out?

The glamorous life of artist/author is less lucrative than one might thing, ahahaha. ha. Anyway, one of my big projects finally ended last quarter, and I haven't yet been able to replace it for income, so if you have someone (or you!) who would enjoy this stuff for the hols, I'd really, really appreciate your support!

my Patreon, where you get book snippets, art previews, and a lot (a LOT) of cat pics

my ko-fi, where I have stickers, one-page zines (no staples!), and some oversize postcards (with cats!) and obviously eternal gratitude if you just want to donate

my Redbubble, where I have some extremely random art uploaded, including two different memento mori mugs, because that's how I roll

Amyzon, aka where all my books are up on the evil book website. I keep wanting to move them onto other platforms, but the benefits I'd lose would require a lot of energy I don't have to replicate, and this is paying like 1/4 of my bills rn

Commissions are currently closed, but I'm making good progress on the ancient ones I have waiting, so someday you could be a cartoon or get 8-bit fandom porn, lol.

THANK YOU for helping, even if it's just reading this or reblobbing it. You rock!

The Food and Drug Administration is proposing a ban on using formaldehyde as an ingredient in hair relaxers, a huge step in raising awareness about the potential harms such products create for the many Black women who typically use them.  The proposed rule would ban the chemical in hair-smoothing or hair-straightening products, also called relaxers. The FDA currently discourages consumers from using hair-straightening products that contain formaldehyde and similar ingredients, according to a fact sheet from the agency.  The FDA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas that’s used in a wide variety of household products, including medicines and cosmetics, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s highly toxic, and repeated exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, lungs and throat. It is also linked to certain cancers, including myeloid leukemia, a cancer that occurs in the blood and bone marrow, according to the National Cancer Institute.

“(...) the concept of the 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴, a terrifying notion of being as absolute darkness that exists when everything else, including the acts of killing and dying and even the I itself, have disappeared. (...) the rest of his work, painstakingly builds outward from the 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 by contemplating what it means for the I to be with another and to face another. (...) For Levinas, the interpersonal is not a realm without risk, but rather ‘the fearful face-to-face situation of a relationship without intermediary, without mediations’ (...) (...) the cinematic medium may have the potential to foster, rather than evade, the most difficult feats of interpersonal connection. We may need cinema to activate the interpersonal, to teach us what it is and how to access it.” » The Jewish Cronenberg: a cinema of therapeutic disintegration {2017, Adam Lowenstein}

Diogo Alves

The head of Diogo Alves-Portugal’s first serial killer- is preserved in formaldehyde and displayed in the anatomical theater of the University of Lisbon’s Faculty of Medicine. Alves was executed in 1851, making the preserved head 171 years old.

Treatment of a Grignard reagent with formaldehyde (methanal), followed by hydrolysis in aqueous acid, gives a primary alcohol.
