I don't know why this suddenly started getting notes, but every time I see my notifications now I laugh again "another W for the glorious hog"

release @ushitenchan.bsky.social from free speech jail

You can make stuff that kind of sucks, yknow? You can remain incredibly mid forever, it's allowed! You're not stuck deciding between super intense honing your craft vs. never drawing again. It's fine to be just ok at stuff!

The Summer Hikaru Died is making me want to write again, but I'm not sure it's possible to write anything hornier than actual canon...

dimitri fire emblem

been listening to d4n c4rlin talk about vikings, might go back to my thorki era next

@kimmu.bsky.social we're clearly really good at using this site lol

good time to feel crushed under the weight of my own life choices 🫡

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

練習殿下

once again trying to browse different social medias but I'm overwhelmed with just wanting it to be SMALLER...

so Oshi no Ko is wild on its own, but watching it through the lens of it being a series that MY favorite idols were really into is a bit of a trip

trying not to cry while sorting through my souvenirs and scraps from Sydney, like you do...

being old is just perpetually announcing what day of the work week it is in the group chat with varying degrees of woe/enthusiasm

this week's mood

I wonder what it's like to be totally ready for travel the day before and like get to sleep instead of staying up all night doing panic things and then showing up looking like hell

finally decided to change all my age declarations on socials to "40+" and it feels bad because I'm still, y'know, Not a Grownup, but now that I'm a few years into this decade I guess I have to admit it.

looking at my followers list here like "OH HI I MISSED YOU" (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

This is great! But Bluesky is an open firehose - just because they are not using your work to train a generative AI model does not mean that others aren't. Continue to use anti-AI tools to protect your creations when posting them here, because anyone can see (and therefore scrape) what you post.

there is a weird vibe when people try to identify themselves as part of the community of the platform they're using. But that's the PROBLEM these days. I want to be part of a fandom community, not fandom + THE REST OF THE WORLD all at once. 🙃

I love skz but I hate fandom, you know what I mean?

back to try this again and see what's new... @janebuzjane.bsky.social mentioned it a few times on our recent Australian adventures ^^

me: I'm sad, I wish I had a fic to read the 37 ao3 tabs open on my phone:

might just try crossposting a bit here...

I really think if you're past a certain completion percentage on an audiobook, the library should give you at least one grace period renewal even if "other people are waiting" the fake limits publishers put on them are so stupid... it's like they WANT me to 🏴‍☠️🦜

stuck obsessively checking my email forever now because I sent a request for a tattoo that there's a near-zero chance I'll get an appointment for, and yet 😭

looking at weird medieval creature drawings + editing an article about d4ta qu4lity = once again thinking about how we're too GOOD at things now, like, generally (which people have probably also been complaining about for centuries 🤷🏻‍♀️)

looking at this timeline for the first time in a while and it really hit me how much I just want a "local" social media platform for fandoms without having to see the news or famous people talk about stuff or normal folks interact with them

the struggle of having favorite shirts but then never wanting to wear them because that will make them disintegrate eventually

Me trying to find old Twitter mutuals on every new social media

what's the best thing you've read recently, writing style wise? (book or fic, fandom/ship not important) I continue to feel burnt out about many aspects of writing and I need to find... something.

i hope this email does not find you

thought id post my magnum opus here

Side eyeing the random posts I come across complaining about the furry and porn artists setting up shop here. My friend that's how you know a site is thriving. These are encouraging signs of life, nature is healing etc etc

it was really impressive of t swift to write so many dmlx songs even years before fe3h was released

it's been over a year since I got the skz brainworms and I'm STILL having moments of confusion over which Felix someone is posting about

have to get re-used to the idea that I can post things and people I actually know might actually see them

Ohh My Engagement is SHIT! My numbers are ZERO

stumbled across an invite, now creeping around to find people who were already here without me (it's fine, I'm always late to everything)
