Almost hooome! 24 hours away to see friends and just get out of my apartment was a success!

got some words in my doc on the train, had a lovely time meeting @dimsimkitty.bsky.social and friends, and now tucked up in bed at a dear old friend's place i'm so happy to see again hooray for moving back to the pnw this year :)

*waves to @littlefingies.bsky.social, @amladydragonfly.bsky.social, and @zazzlesthe7th.bsky.social from the train station on my way through town*

Hey #ywmlp friends: if you live near Wilmington DE or Wellesley MA you can grab your cards a little early by stopping by to say hi! Wilmington: Sunday Oct 5 Wellesley: Tuesday Oct 7 Let us know not to mail yours by filling this out: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

plans are solidifying and i will DM folks by next weekend with details. also how the fuck does anyone know how to plan how much food to make and also how to tell people what to pick up to bring when they're in the middle of traveling themselves, i am stressed on your behalf!! (or a control freak!)

can't pack 'til after the farmers' market because i'm using the same backpack for both ahahah this is NOT in line with my overplanning brain so many things happening so soon!!!!!! so many people to see!!!! SO MUCH JOY TO STARE DOWN AS WE WELCOME IT INTO OUR HEARTS FOR A FUCKING SECOND

Alright, guys. Hate to do this but between the background check taking forever and unemployment not kicking in yet, I need a bit of help covering rent. Ko-Fi is linked here and I also do commissions! Any kind of help is appreciated even if it's just a reblog. ko-fi.com/tresdem/goal...

i need to tidy my apartment before @sonorawent.bsky.social gets here next week and i'm just so happy to finally have a space that's mine where that isn't a whole shame-spiral of doom to *get* tidy ('cause it's easy to *keep* tidy)

I'm gonna be in Seattle for a split second this weekend. Haven't been up there in so long. 🥹

THERE IS A NEW NEKO CASE ALBUM YAY

Before ao3 goes down, have you read my heist fic from 2023's big bang? It's the funniest I've ever been and the best I've ever written all of these characters and not to brag, but I wrote a really fun puzzle here 😌

I wrote a very short and silly crossover with The Good Place for this: archiveofourown.org/works/71345161

Chotiner: Your boss asked you to handle this personally? Izzy: He said he wanted this done right. So I had to go into Spanish Jackie’z, which I fucking hate, and find Bonnet. The stupid twat was dressed all in white - Chotiner: What did you tell him your boss wanted?

I might be biased, but I think this might be the best thing I've ever written, and imo it's been criminally under-read. Maybe give it a go while AO3 is down? archiveofourown.org/works/628096...

#wipwednesday from the draft of the third chapter of a thing i haven't started posting yet

looking for things to download to read ahead of the ao3 downtime? here's a few of mine you may have missed: Pro Se (16.7k, M), t4t Ed/Stede w/art @aliassamm.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/67084504 traitorous hearts (9.7k, E) Ed & Stede are the Traitors archiveofourown.org/works/63763225

...I doubt anyone is clamoring for my fics to fill the 20 hours of the Great Planned AO3 Outage, but lmk if you are 🫠

this was a really lovely conversation!!

the game is afoot* *where mods are trying to DM anyone they recognize before blasting out an email reminder which is to say: please remember to complete your donation! let us know if you have any issues!

I wanted to see if "autism" was trending on here but instead I read about horrors. BRING ON THE AUTISTIC MEMES MY NEURODIVERGENT BRETHREN

Quick and easy thing to check, and handy if you don't want to explain a weird username to your mail carrier. (But if you do, have fun!)

Got a fic for a different sci-fi show coming later today, but I couldn't ignore my beloved X Files, so here's a frame by frame recreation of its iconic opening 👽🏴‍☠️ #OFMDTVAU

the new nine one one spin-off was advertised to me and THEY USED "THE CHAIN" IN THE AD. NO SIR. NO!!! if i wasn't already boycotting that channel and their most popular shit, that song is OURS NOW* (*i know it is in fact an extremely well known song older than i am but also it's OURS)

it's raining and i have no plans today except to feed myself and maybe write. one of the best kinds of days. gonna bake something.

*sighs wistfully in West Coast* I can't help with the fulfillment part, but if you're going to be in Portland and want a postcard mod high-five, I can do that 😂

i have seen the star wars burlesque show and lemme tell you how respectfully i was looking at boba fett

Was gonna stop and deal with groceries on my way home but I am TOO TIRED. Tomorrow will be fine. For that. For other things... Well. It's nice to have a thing where I can help people in the community, at any rate.

jfc i'm gonna go to bed tonight at like 7 fucking 30 i swear to god i am so tired. so much for time to keep poking at edits.

Liiiiiiiittle thank you ko-fi doodle of the boys up in a tree house :) #ofmd #ofmdfanart #gentlebeard

there was an *actual power outage* affecting the block. idk how i had *partial* power, but it all came back around 6. still gonna be a long fucking day!!!!

love 2 start the day with a partial power outage (luckily not whatever circuit has my fridge or my internet/workspace setup) and flipping the breakers does nothing. 5am maintenance requests ftw. gonna be a long fucking day.

not sure why that inaccurate pink news article about the craft fair is circling again but if you want to see the only #ofmdcraftfair article that ACTUALLY CONTACTED US... www.them.us/story/our-fl...

woo, another library branch that's an easy bus ride from me had a tech help volunteer slot open up so i'm gonna help folks on thursday afternoons 🎉

The works, ah, they're... progressing. 😅 #WIPWednesday

Bumping for the moots who like homemade vegan food, hanging out with pirates, and being in Portland on Oct. 11 I guess, help me plan a thing?

hey crew......can I crowd source some Jim Jimenez memes? My kid LOVES them so much, and I love sending them a meme while they're at school to find at the end of the day, so...(see: said child as Jim last year) #ofmd

Missed out on the postcard fundraiser? You can still support our work and get the smiling catptain!

Alright so here’s what we can do NOW: CALL your Reps now, and your Senators. Tell them you strongly oppose the HR 5300 dept of state policy provisions act. Tell them it could be used to remove your right to travel, your right to a passport as a citizen. Do it now. www.congress.gov/members/find...

jumping in as the official #ywmlp spreadsheet mod to say you all slammed that buy it now button for a total of 4,933 postcards (not counting the signed items and originals). i'm gonna check my goddamn formulas, but that's a lotta postcards!!
