Hey, if you're a #Drinny fan, you miiiiight want to check out Flying Wild, since it looks like there will be updates coming very very soon 👀 archiveofourown.org/works/59811103

One time, my therapist told me that I should write a memoir, and honestly, I feel like that is not a compliment coming from a mental health professional lol

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

Shout out to my husband who kept the kids out of the office for 1.5 hours on Tuesday while I was fighting for my life for Noah Kahan tickets, then popped his head in when I screamed and said "are you winning son?" Anyway, I'll see you bitches at Fenway 🐜🐜🐜

I hope I raise my kids to walk out of their school in protest of literal fucking fascism and genocide. Baby, I'll sign that suspension notification, let's go get some ice cream.

Boosting from an allergy household that can't buy any 🥲 get an extra box on my behalf

If The Great Divide is setting the mood for the next album, I'm gonna need to take a week off to process when it drops.

Halt! This is a bookish checkpoint. Last book: Alone in the Ether with You by Olivie Blake Current: Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Cosby Newest on TBR: The Natural Way of Things by Charlotte Wood Next: Home Before Dark by Riley Sager #booksky

Incarcerating brown people in an old Costco is so fucking dystopian. Everyday I get angrier and angrier.

It can get lower!

Hell yeah 😎

Me just tippy tapping away at my Job™️ while the country implodes. This is not what I envisioned my midlife crisis to entail.

Textually Inaccurate is back! And I'm out here hurting my own feelings lol archiveofourown.org/works/594725...

Books don't tell readers who they personally are or who they are supposed to be. They do show readers a variety of characters. Implicit in that is this: "Here are some ways of being." Kids books aren't altering your kid to be someone new. They are simply showing them parts of humanity.

Ok BUT DID THEY END UP TOGETHER

I might have to drop my claim for a fest because they are due today and I'm not done yet 😭 I literally lost sleep over this last night, I've never dropped before!

I have informed my husband that I will be going to the used bookstore by myself on New years day because they are having a sale and I will not be accepting criticism at this time 👏

I'm tired AF but the hustle must continue. We're going to have a magical Christmas, so help me God

Fucking mood

Dinner on the first night is far fancier than he expects. The dining room is low lit, hushed piano music, fine china, and more forks than he knows what to do with. Hermione glows across from him, and Harry is reminded, once more, that is he in serious trouble. When they planned this getaway, life

It's the only wizarding ski resort in the world. Hermione spins in a circle, eyes on the ceiling where an endless number of enchanted ornaments spin and sparkle. The joy on her face is so pure. Even now, after everything they have been through, she believes in magic. Harry will never get tired of

Harry doesn't remember the first time he saw snow, but he likes to imagine that it had been with his parents. Surely they had brought him out to see it, bundled up against the cold. With scarcely more than a year together, he thought of all the firsts that they had had, not knowing that they would

Christmas lights blinky blink my depression away 🎄

I need a softly yearning fic rec. Not quite angst, and def HEA. Any pairing, no huge age gaps. My nerves are shot and I need some fluff, but not full on tooth rot.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like having an all day panic attack 🦃🥔🥧

Genuinely baffled that cis men just walk through life without ever experiencing the body horror that is being AFAB. The fucking AUDACITY. Bright to you by having flashbacks to my birth trauma while reading a book about menopause 🤘🤘🤘

I'm 66k words into a marriage of convenience fic and I've been stuck for months. After leaving it for a while and doing a reread, I've finally accepted that I need to rework a significant plot point because it just doesn't feel right. Somehow both relieved to be able to move forward and very annoyed

pleased to announce that there seems to be a passive-aggressive conflict roiling the august pages of Cooks Illustrated, Fall Harvest recipes edition. allow me to explain:

No wonder DJT took that shot in the ear so well (allegedly). He spent the 90s taking shots to the back of the throat with Bubba

There is much better coffee out there anyway. Support fair wages and working conditions!!

Mood

I finally posted the epilogue for All The Best, a Drinny marriage law fic!! I had something written but it just didn't feel right, and I sort of wallowed about it for a while before scrapping it. But it is done! archiveofourown.org/works/686361...

Any case that involved a snake or a basilisk was immediately dumped on his desk. The drawback of being one of the only people in the world known to speak parseltongue. Harry had hoped very fervently to have lost the ability once disconnected from Voldemort, but alas. Harry had also hoped to never

Parenting while incredibly sick on a holiday that prominently features sugar is a special kind of hell.

Me with nearly 500k published words on Ao3: "But I'm not like, a REAL writer" My husband: 😒😒😒

I'm going to start a new political party. It's called Shut The Fuck Up and Feed People. "But what if they're on drugs?" Shut The Fuck Up And Feed People "Or not really THAT poor?" Shut The Fuck Up And Feed People "What if they have a phone and nice nails?" SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FEED PEOPLE

Dutch libraries have invented an AI chatbot that can recommend books to you You know what else can recommend books to you ~a fucking librarian~

As a Libro.fm acolyte, it is my duty to inform you that audio that's purchased from your favorite indie bookseller sounds better and is also more emotionally fulfilling than the same audio purchased from a megacorp that's assisting the authoritarian federal regime.

My 3yo turns into Ta Ka from Moana when he's even the slightest bit sick.

As someone who works in a small rural library (not in FL), this is devastating. Small towns cannot fully fund libraries on tax dollars alone, and rely on grants and services like ILL to maintain a fresh and relevant collection for our patrons.

Obligatory post of this list for people to block these scumbag criminals. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Knocking. "Come in." Harry already knows. Doesn't even look up. "Harry…" Broken glass underfoot, caramel on his lips, hands in silky hair, edge of the desk biting at his thighs. Home. archiveofourown.org/works/717419...

Ope I am manifesting again 👀

I'm t.swift ambivalent, but I have very strong Mom Feelings for her fans that are pumped right now. I love that you love things! The world is better when you love things.

Sitting outside an IRL writers group having a little panic attack because I'm a fucking fraud

Wow I hate this epilogue and now I have to scrap the whole thing lol

Damp air and cold stone. No wonder Snape was a miserable bastard. Rumor is he refused to stay in the staff quarters. There is no sunlight in the dungeons. Draco stokes the fire and relishes the smoky smell that lingers in his cloaks. Keeps the room too warm. archiveofourown.org/works/717419...

I am writing 31 days of Drarry drabbles for #hpspicetober2025 Middle aged professors falling in love through alternating POV and experimental grammar. archiveofourown.org/works/717419...

Man, it's been a while since I've been genuinely depressed, but here we are.
