Aw man, this is lovely 💖

Lads, without wanting to curse it, I seem to be writing again (punches air, does forward roll, wolf-whistles at god, etc)

(sighs) lads, I miss writing

you prove love

There’s a new chapter of Constellationism here, freshly posted: archiveofourown.org/works/456174.... It’s got text messages, Venice and little pots of moss.

I’m so tempted to try this

An offering for #wipwednesday: Constellationism Stede is not having a very happy time.

I contain mountainous volumes of unfathomable existential anxiety & also whimsy

I missed #wipwednesday yesterday because some dear friends came round for New Year’s Eve. But I’ve been working on the next chapter of Constellationism, so here’s a late snippet anyway.

An essay by Laura Sackton inspired by Heated Rivalry, reflecting on the complexities of “coming out” as a political/discursive act in a heterosexist world… vs inter-community signaling, recognition, language, intimacy, etc for showing each other who’s family poetryschool.beehiiv.com/p/volume-5-n...

It’s been a little while (ahem), but there’s a new chapter of Constellationism up archiveofourown.org/works/456174...

A little bit of Chapter 22 of Constellationism for #wipwednesday

Goodness me, another chapter of Wingman has appeared. This one has a title; it’s called The Robin and The Man archiveofourown.org/works/622635...

A new chapter of Wingman for a very grey and blustery day archiveofourown.org/works/622635... (Image: not a robin this time, but an accurate picture of me writing this chapter)

Yesterday a skeletal but complete idea for a fic dropped into my head like a penny in a puddle. Go away fic idea! I’m writing other things! But… hitman Ed 😫

Even though he’s not purple he’s still so very Ed to me. Maybe it’s the massive eyes? Anyway, I love this octopus. What a guy.

Highlights from the Bundled Up on Broad auction opening tmow 11/13!! (Buys warm clothes for the families at my synagogue Rodeph Shalom Philly's food pantry, or give directly to our wishlist: bit.ly/bundled25) I HAVE to start with Olivia Waite's beaded octopus www.32auctions.com/organization...

Lindie and boy have done it again, what a beautiful thing

*rings little bell* new chapter of wingman available if that’s the sort of thing you’re into archiveofourown.org/works/622635...

Take a break from all the doomscrolling and ghastliness and look at my latest creation “Beautiful Mouse with a Stitchwort Garland” Maybe this one should be displayed against the skirting board? Available now for purchase should you require such a thing in your life? Painted on 23 C gold leaf

I love this one

It’s only little (like Stede in robin format), but there is a new chapter of Wingman archiveofourown.org/works/622635...

My friend ElapsedSpiral was on a podcast today! It’s a very good listen too.

That’s such a good round bird 💖 This is excellent timing, I’m working on a new Wingman chapter!

Him 🥹

This is my favorite time of year. I am not fall's favorite human though. Low sunlight sads got me hard today. Needed to draw a tiny comfy Ed about it. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

A little while ago I mentioned that I was hoping to finish the first draft of a novel and today… I did it!! Thank you OFMD friends, I truly believe this would never have happened without you 💖

Update: I did not stay on track. But! I think four more writing sessions will do it. And good grief, thank you everybody for the encouragement 💖💖💖

If I stay on track I *think* that by the end of this Friday I will have finished the first draft of a novel?? Please cross your fingers for me! And then I will celebrate by writing some ofmd fic (I miss the various lads)

Grateful to my queer internet besties

This is stunning! Look @shearwater-bird.bsky.social it’s robin Stede!

letter from james schuyler (poet) to john button (painter), 1956. this is IT for me. this is love, it's been captured, it's done, we can all pack it up. "and suddenly everything i'd ever felt about you turned into a diamond or a rose or something"

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

What if they pair him with Johannes??? I might expire, that’s what 💖💖💖

Spent a few hours today in Leake St making a very silly #TheCryptidFactor piece. Super fun to hang out with some Knights and very odd to be asked by a random person for my autograph when I finished!!

A little bit of Wingman for #wipwednesday. Robin!Stede like B&Q a lot.

Gender is a performance and I’ve got stage fright

I wish I wrote faster. Have any #ofmd fic people got any tips for getting out of your own way and writing faster?

🚨people @ fringe!🚨 rhys, dan & buttons are doing a (different, additional) podcast tomorrow! tickets still left!
