Ugh, we created too many fragrances 😓
*keeps creating more fragrances* 🥲
How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
A photo of BPAL's Unquiet Slumbers perfume oil, created in collaboration with the British Library. The bottle sits on a torn scrap of plush red fabric in front of a wooden frame. Text reads: "Wuthering Heights, 5ml perfume oils. Heather and moss whisper against cold earth, entwined in creeping ivy; a soft lament, an uneasy stirring of agonized longing."

Vermont Lunacy is happening soon!
You’d never know know from the front pages of most major news sites that we’re in the midst of the largest and filthiest scandal ever to affect any US presidency.
It’s important for our reps to hear from us this week: WE REMEMBER. There is no hiding from this. Shut it all down.
New rules by the Trump administration attempt to ban gender-affirming health care for trans youth across the country.
Today is the last day to speak up and sign our petition opposing these dangerous policies.
We’re a ways off yet! Enjoy that antici…

DILF in a box on my desk.
My first non-fiction book since coming out is called DILF: DID I LEAVE FEMINISM, and it's out now. Here, it is in a box on my desk, but it CAN be in your hands and brain if you click here: bookshop.org/p/books/dilf...
Hey hey! Ho ho!

NELLY’S TALE is the scent of a fireside chat over a basket of sewing, as snow falls outside Thrushcross Grange: hearthsmoke and smoldering clove-dusted firewood, accented by rivulets of beeswax dribbling into snow flurries.

A 1924 illustration by Percy Tarrant for Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, depicting the servant Nelly sitting on a chair and cradling a young child, her face upturned toward that of an unseen figure. Text reads: “NELLY’S TALE, 4oz Atmosphere & Linen Spray, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab”
Our heights have only just begun to wuther! 📚🕯️
Added to our @britishlibrary.bsky.social #WutheringHeights collaboration this Friday: a CATHERINE hair gloss, a HEATHCLIFF beard oil, and the following atmosphere & linen spray:

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable
I'm going to win.
Absolutely! We have been trying to finalize a date for the next Twin Cities Lunacy.

A photo of four 5ml amber apothecary labels posed on a scrap of red fabric in front of a wooden window frame. In the background, through the window frame, potted plants are visible. The perfume labels read: UNQUIET SLUMBERS, CATHERINE, HEATHCLIFF, and LET ME IN.
Four 5ml perfume oils to launch the series! The CATHERINE and HEATHCLIFF fragrances were formulated to be worn layered with each other, but can also be enjoyed as standalone scents.
WHAT INDEED
And we're live! Partnering with the British Library is lifetime achievement stuff, we're very excited. 🥲

A poster image for BPAL's Wuthering Heights perfume series, featuring one of Percy Tarrant's 1924 illustrations depicting a female character being violently seized by Heathcliff, all faces omitted by the framing and text which reads: "Wuthering Heights: fragrances by black phoenix alchemy lab. An aromatic adaptation created in collaboration with The British Library." A caption on the illustration reads: "IT WAS TOO LATE: HEATHCLIFF HAD ALREADY CAUGHT HOLD OF HER"
We might as well obnoxiously tease this fragrance partnership while we're waiting for it to go live in our shop 🎭

sure you might have seen my name in the big pdf that got released titled “list of draculas currently operating in the united states.” here’s why that’s NOT a big deal:
A screencap from our email unsubscribe reports, including one from someone named Lisa that includes the comment: "Can't take anymore of your political bullshit", but we scribbled in a comma an then added "VALENTINE <3"
And if you like, you may sign up to receive our emails in the future: eepurl.com/CsjP9
We've got plenty of room, now that Lisa has unsubscribed! (We turned her commentary into a Valentine too) 🥰
It's that "silence, brand" meme with a scary crab shooting lasers out of its eyes, but we crossed out "brand" and scribbled in "Valentine", tee-hee
If you're not signed up to receive our emails, then you missed yesterday's unhinged love letter to our perfume fanbase. We even created an anticipatory Valentine in response to it! 💌
Actually tho, you can read it here: us4.campaign-archive.com?u=50266fc02a...
Quite a few (decidedly NSFW) @girthofvenus.bsky.social artworks available as prints here: girthofvenus.bigcartel.com/products
Artwork by Girth of Venus depicting a Nutcracker posing against a winter wonderland backdrop with a castle seen in negative silhouette in the far distance. Despite a wooden nutcracker-style head, the figure has an apparently human body and ballet-style military costume... which is missing a key area, right there in the front. Oh, and there is also a sword!
A few of these are part of the recent Yule series and will be added to the GoV section later on: blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-cate...
