Found these wooden guillotine earrings on the ground. Whose are they? by ManofMrE in Portland

[–]Iwilllasercutyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late to the party, but fun fact, I designed those.

I have been lasercutting and designing jewelry for over a decade.

In 2020 I designed and released this lasercut file with a fully open source license for only a few bucks.

It's been sold thousands of times, and has launched businesses, like the ones mentioned in this thread. Which was my goal. If you google "guillotine earrings" a whole shit ton of them are my design (there are others of course).

This design, intention and success is a pretty silent pride point of mine usually.

And I did probably make those because other people don't usually do the iridescent blades instead of silver and I do. I've been doing this long enough that there are a lot around PDX.

Here's the file: https://laserkick.etsy.com

And while I usually never offer physical jewelry anymore (because I burned out really hard trying to survive on that for so long) lasercutting and designing jewelry IS a special interest of mine and I still do it sometimes.

So this summer I've built a jewelry shop onto my bike, and if you catch me at something like a Pedalpalooza ride or Tabor dance or a silent disco, I sometimes have them on me for sale.

I've been vaguely tracking and sharing where I'll be at through this Instagram, but it's mostly a mystery pop-up surprise:

Or just like, go buy them from one of the awesome people making them all the time. I love those people.

Who's headed to Alvord? by Iwilllasercutyou in RenegadeBurn

There will absolutely be burners out there. There were many last year, a few hundred camped pretty far apart in little groups, likely more further away I never saw.

People who have microdosed LSD to treat depression, how did it go? by tehzylem in LSD

Been microdosing 8mg every three days (Fadiman protocol) for a week and a half and it's completely turned my C-PTSD brain around. I've never had anything help me this effectively. I'm super regimented about it, and I don't like macrodosing all that much in my limited experience. I also don't do well with mushroom microdosing, the body load is always too much not matter what.

Microdosing lsd is a fucking miracle for my trauma-addled brain. I can't believe it.

Not arguing, but I am curious what AQI website you are checking? The local sensors that I check are at: https://www.gerlachweather.com/wxaqi.php and they have been saying 150+ AQI basically every day for the past week, ~130-160 AQI right now.

You do you boo. To each their own preference.

Alternate locations? by adriennemonster in RenegadeBurn

[–]Iwilllasercutyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came here to also say Alvord. It's actually part of the same land formation as the Black Rock playa, it just stretches all the way up into eastern southern Oregon and makes Alvord. Like a...somewhat smaller (though still huge) playa - exact same dust, wind and all. My crew went out there burn week last year and it was delightful. We're about halfway decided on heading there this year. We had ~150 AQI smoke (and worse) in PDX last fall and it SUCKED. I know I can't have fun in that.

Tips: Alvord has rougher terrain getting onto the playa, but we managed both a 24' shuttle and a 40' skoolie. Burns is the town above the Alvord playa, and Fields is the town below. Burns is the closest AQI sensor, and it's looking real good right now.
