I felt cold all out of proportion with the weather (bc tired, as i didn’t sleep last night) so I wanted to add another comforter to my luxurious silk-filled duvet (well hot enough the season) A flash of genius made me grab the weighted blanket: more warmth and! soothing pressure for frayed nerves 👍🏼

Ok the situash is dire: I actually filled a cart of fabric (45€) AND THEN I broke the nib of one of my fave Jinhao shark fountain pen (the red one) WTFF so umm I went to my shopping app & filled a cart with fountain pens + assorted paraphernalia (30€) Now all I have to do is not click & go to bed.

Taliesin in is doing an Irish accent for Molly, right? I don’t think I noticed the first time bc it was my first campaign and I didn’t know them at all yet. There were simply too many things happening at once for my brain at the time I think

Related to the makes-me-pike topic of the day, if any one of you has an idea of *what* kind of creative thing you think I’d be interestingly middling to good at, I’ll gladly take your suggestions! I have a patr*on account burning a hole in my pocket but no self confidence in my ideas, so.

Oh wow, that's much faster than expected!

I did some visible mending on one of my softest hand knit sweater and I feel better now.

Anyway 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This pressure to perform as ‘one of the good ones’ who of course understands this whole thing is complex & toxic, that the state has no €€ & they’re gonna crack down on me if I can keep asking for welfare, so he’ll help me & then I can stop asking (he doesn’t help except telling me to drop out tho)

Gov agent came ; we had ourselves a grand old 1hr play: he made all his veiled threats rolled up in a congenial wink lemme tell you how you should drop out eventually I respect you so much I’ll mansplain this whole thing, and I played my part of the dutifully hoodwinked willing goose. So exhausting

I mean I love Caleb & Beau and the others too but JESTER is a shot in the arm for these troubling times honestly

I finished campaign one, woo! (My first watch) And I immediately started a rewatch of CR2 - I think it’s my fav? - bc I knew Jester would be a great infusion of joy to my heart I wasn’t wrong. I love her sooo much 😍

Cutest lil fang!

I’ve just spent over three hours browsing my favorite discount deadstock fabric web shop and imagining what I might sew, though I haven’t yet started sewing clothes with my substantial stash - you know things are truly meh when I turn to fantasy shopping

(Me, normally I give a shit, but I’m just so furious at this government agent from social services coming tomorrow for my signature on their bullshit contract for welfare dough, who’s trying to convince me to renounce my right to this help bc he’s pressured to decrease his case load!!!!!!!!!!)

After an anxious day and a fun dinner where I ate differently than my normal I’m now hungry again and revenging bedtiming procrastinating BIG TIME, super wired and shit. I’m gonna get out of bed and have a snack hmm? And maybe stay up all night since it’s already 4am. Who gives a shit after all?

Hear ye hear ye

Welp I made all the progress i could on as many of my issues as I could and sadly the feeling of doom persists. I’m invited to a Mabon feast potluck (3ppl total only) and I need to leave in 15mn but i still want to curl into a ball :((

this whole piece is deeply worth reading and sharing, especially with the centrist dems and liberals in your life, but this penultimate graf really sums it up. you just can't play these kinds of games with people's lives.

CRCampaign 1 ep 112 is making me tense and annoyed in turn. True DnD, but arghh also I’m neck deep in anxiety inducing admin (forms for welfare payments & emails to clients for late payments etc, joy!) so probably that makes things worse

Read the thread. She saw it ALL coming.

I just … saw a Disney ad for a Mandalorian&Grogu movie in 2026? Wut? I had no clue, did we already know this was coming?!

It got colder a lil while back but today’s the first day where inside the house is winter temp (the heating kicked off sluggishly yesterday) and sudden 19°C feels very cold :( Time to get the woolens out! Good thing I’m almost done knitting a new sweater, too, but I’m gonna need more winter pants.

And windows can’t be opened in classrooms

Joy

Haha there’s a no beta we die like Vax tag of course

I meant Exandria based (or AU) but as usual I’ll take RPF too if you have it, I’m all in :))

Do any of my critter friends have favorite critrole fics? I haven’t felt the need to search the tags but if you guys have recs I’m ripe for trying to read some :)

I love you guys 🧡🧡🧡 & I have a big smoothie for breakfast now :)

Mais PUTAIN DE MERDE quoi

Ow fuck that’s all of Friday for me :( Ima go download a few things I guess…

I will cease the inane scrolling and turn off the lights at 4:30am, at least it’s 2 hrs earlier than last night, right? Yes good Also Pls Remind me tomorrow that my reward for this should be a frozen fruit / almond milk : protein smoothie to use the almond milk before it turns bad :)

Also we settled this the other day, the only meaningful difference is whether you gave dog or cat energy, so let’s put it to bed already :))

I heard it was #BiVisibilityDay so here's a link to my books, all of which have visible bisexuals! They come in various genders and relationship configurations, as bisexuals do

things it IS helpful to send your trans/nonbinary friends rn: a funny animal video. a joke you saw about anything other than politics. twenty dollars. a coffee/meal/small, heartening gift. an invitation to talk that you really mean. an invitation to a gathering of chill people. twenty more dollars

Featured: a woman goes mad over the colour yellow, another is trapped under the escalators at Bank / Monument tube station, and another faces a gothic irruption of London's working-class past in a cursed new-build apartment. Should you like that kind of thing.

Looking forward to reading this!

An actual good way to disperse your excess cash instead of buying me weird saddles is to help out my friend and brother Mohamed, who is trying to keep his family alive in Al Mawasi camp in Gaza. If you've got a couple dollars to share with with him I'd be grateful. chuffed.org/project/help...

Whoops I thought I’d course corrected my sleep phase issue (the most recent one) but nope, I’m still up at 6am Sigh

good (depressing) life/social skills advice for weird people (I don’t think I’m autistic but I was a friendless child and learned social skills late - a lot of social advice for autistic people resonates with me, whatever that means)

What movie do you consider perfect?

It’s the aristocracy, it takes different forms depending on is social context, but it’s always the aristocracy, and you must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

Sometimes I just have to go back the end of Divergence to see Matt lose it when the penny drops 🧡

I finally remembered there's a Murderbot ebook (14 books!) humblebundle running (16hrs left) so I got them! (I haven't read MB yet) I adjusted their rates tho bc now they take a lot more & leave little for charity. Then I remembered we're meant to humblebundle them I think ? I forgot why though :(
