Watching YGO Zexal with the kids and as a Haikyuu! fan, I screamed, Kenma! seeing this monster. #haikyuu # yu-gi-oh zexal

Loving the live action for Therapy Game. One of my favorite authors/series. Two episodes in and it's sticking to the canon and doing so well at recreating the story. #therapygame

I have 1210 fics at AO3 and still post a new one with fear, trembling and a certainty the universe is pointing a finger and snickering. Of course, the proper reaction to that is, hey, my hits went up at least! #AO3

I'm enjoying Yu-Gi-Oh 5 D's a lot but WHY THE APOSTROPHE, WHY? Five Dragons = 5 Ds #yu-gi-oh

Takato doesn't want to take off his Halloween costume #dakaichi

"Fifa has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on 5 December in Washington." I can't imagine who will get it... /s #fifa

Look what I found in Value Village!

It does have a lovely illustration pasted into the front though.

It's a pretty awful, insanely racist book from the 1920s with a Mary Sue heroine but this one line from 'Her Father's Daughter' by Gene Stratton Porter sent me into hysterics: "She had been initiated into the thrillingly absorbing feminine accomplishment of making sport handkerchiefs." #books

First year in Canada we were clueless about H'ween and woefully unprepared for the candy seeking hordes. I hand it out lavishly now, 30 years later, but feel we are still known as that place where we got mini boxes of raisins (we panicked when we ran out of sweets). #halloween

I am still watching Yu-Gi-Oh with the kids and am now on 5D's, season 2. Yusei looks so damn pretty suffering. I keep making wild assumptions that sometimes leave me looking brilliant and sometimes the opposite. Having so much fun dueling too. AND writing fic! #yu-gi-oh

"This is a nice pumpkin, Takato-san!" #dakaichi

Giving me Spinal Tap/Stonehenge flashbacks. #trump

So you just let your Presidents tear down the White House at will? Huh. Weird. Oh well. I'm sure Trump knows what he's doing. ::sees pix of gaudy monstrosity formerly known as the Oval office.:: Never mind. So sorry. #eastwing

Fox readers are gleeful that Trump's team's on here posting racist memes and "making the libs heads explode". Me; reads posts about books, cats and anime or from my friends. I see no nasty memes. They really don't get how sites work at all. And think the US = All the World. It isn't. #trump

Cake!

Reno hit a bump; Moen bath fixtures in brushed nickel box has black finish faucet inside. No. Rest of bathroom nickel and we live in an area where the water is so hard you hammer chunks out of the tap. The limescale marks on it would appear instantly.

Hosting Thanksgiving on Sunday and decided to do chocolate and cinder toffee cake. Just made my own cinder toffee! It's the inside of a Crunchie bar basically. Very quick and easy.

I just made myself cry reading something I wrote in a fic. I am so silly.

Nice and easy when the murderers confess on Twitter. "Earlier this morning, on President Trump's orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility." #hegseth #trump

It's surreal to discover someone you knew a long time ago has died and you missed it. The sharp shock is the same, though In this case, Jim Gifford, a fellow Heinlein fan and author. Jim; you were a gentleman and a scholar. You made a difference. Thank you. #jamesgifford

I'm absolutely racing through Bon Appetit, Your Majesty (Apothecary Diaries meets Delicious in Dungeon plus time travel) and realized the puppets I found at Value Village a while back from the movie The King and the Clown, is the same king. How coincidental. #bonappetit, #kingandtheclown

Patricia Wentworth has to be public domain. How I wish someone who could capture her style would write The Case of the Poisoned Caterpillars! #Patriciawentworth #vintagebooks

My dream is to have lovely built in shelves in the library (not just long pieces of wood on those metal supports as I have now) and, naturally, a ladder to whizz along.

I made a reckless purchase of FOUR more bookcases to bring order to the seething masses of books in the basement. They are all double-stacked and some are there, some upstairs and some in another room; I am gathering them and sorting them and I cannot wait! I never have enough bookcases. Never.

People are mentioning their long fics for the AO3 downtime. My longest is one I co-wrote with three fab authors and it is stuffed with smut and spankings and angst and romance. Secretary, Wes/Faith AU. My God, it's 21 years old. archiveofourown.org/works/711043... #ao3

As a pro writer, I dutifully eliminated every 'just' and 'sat down' etc. Now I'm old and writing fic for fun, I just don't give a fuck. (I lie; I feel a twinge of guilt and sometimes edit them out. BUT NOT ALWAYS).

The autopen portrait of Biden? Let me tag it. Petty, pointless, disrespectful to the man and office, divisive, petulant, you think you're funny and you're not, could you be more of an asshole, guess not, how much did it cost, get a life, idiot, bet you smirked, you need a minder. #trump

Got a first edition of Noel Streatfeild's The Secret of the Lodge for less than the paperback reprint. Not one of her best maybe but I have not read it. Love the illustrations. #vintage books

"“These past 10 days after Charlie’s assassination, we didn’t see violence." Yes, you did. You saw the US govt threaten and coerce its population into mourning a man not many of them knew or agreed with. You saw a brutal crackdown on free speech. No all violence leaves bruises. #charlie kirk

I just bought a tiny can of premixed espresso martini and the male cashier warned me that it's strong and packs a punch. I can read the label, thank you.

From what I have read of Charlie Kirk's beliefs and words, I would not have liked him if we had met. I am watching the US MAGA crowd ramming him down everyone's throats as the second coming of Jesus and rolling my eyes so hard. And Oklahoma? Mandatory statues? FFS. Do better.

"Earlier, the US president said he “didn’t like” Russia’s jet incursion but said he had not been briefed about it." The hell? Is anyone around him even halfway competent to operate a remote control and change the channel from Fox? #trump

Waiting for Trump to realize that the martyred saint Charlie Kirk (I am being sarcastic there) is getting more headlines/adulation/donations than him and throw a hissy fit. He doesn't like sharing the spotlight. #charliekirk

Can one journalist ask Trump… Why is Kimmel LEGITIMATELY pointing out that the right are desperate to pin this on the left. WORSE THAN Coke Jr tweeting a hammer and underwear in response to Paul Pelosi’s attempted murder? OR Trump retweeting a graphic of Biden hogtied in a car trunk? Anyone?!?

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. This is ridiculous. #jimmykimmel

As a British citizen I would like to express my utter contempt, dismay and disdain at the OTT fawning over Trump on his unnecessary, pointless, divisive visit to the UK. Shouldn't have been invited, shouldn't be allowed in. #trump

Just reminded by some kind f/b that Supernatural first aired twenty years ago today so my fic for it, Reunion, is 20 years old tomorrow. That is...a long time #supernatural #spn #wincest

Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace said she will introduce a resolution “authorizing Charlie Kirk to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda. The US has lost its mind. He doesn't deserve this adulation and worship. It is sickening to see him venerated when he was so full of bigotry.

Killing people is wrong. Charlie Kirk's views were abhorrent. Those two facts/opinions can exist in the same space. I can be sorry he was killed, sorry for those who loved him/were traumatized by watching him die and still feel that his views were appalling. #CharlieKirk

So by boasting about killing suspected drug dealers on a boat in international waters has Trump confessed to wanton, vigilante murder? Arrest him, please. #trump

Always wanted one and just found this in Value Village for $60. It is HEAVY.

"The FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, has gifted Donald Trump the first ticket to the 2026 World Cup’s final match." I was under the impression it was being hosted by Canada and Mexico too. Clearly we don't count. And if you think Trump will turn up if the USA have been knocked out... #fifa

Badly foxed but found this in an antique market today and couldn't resist. #vintagebooks #books

Farewell, Sheila, Bluewolf. You were a friend and a fan and I won't forget you.

Bath time! #dakaichi

I finished watching YGO, Duel Monsters. TEARS. Now the kids have me started on GX which is a whole different show. Having fun! Still duelling myself; building that deck up! #yu-gi-oh

Top of the table! COME ON, YOU POTTERS! #scfc

The part I hate most about writing a fic is reading it over one last time before posting. GAAAAH. I know I'll catch a typo, tweak it better, but GAAAAAH, hate that bit. Don't wanna.
