Bumping because it's awesome news! CONfab 2026 will be held in-person in Chicago, IL at the Springhill Suites Chicago O'Hare from October 22-25, 2026! More information about pricing, registration, and programming to come. We're really looking forward to seeing you in Chicago this fall!

I finished this book last night and enjoyed the shit out of it. Dudes learning how to romance women by reading romance novels. I cracked up laughing multiple times and it was SO nice just having men talk to each other about their relationships and feelings! app.thestorygraph.com/books/fc677d...

Hair is dyed.

Time to re-red my hair. Looking classy and splotched. Also, I find it incredibly appropriate that I got read all over my My Chem T-shirt.

My nephew just told me he’s listening to “oldies”. He’s listening to Talking in Your Sleep by the Romantics. I am old.

I texted the guys in my office that I'd be driving my personal car to our job instead of meeting them at the lot since we only have one vehicle and there aren't enough seat belts for everyone. I got back "Parking personal vehicles near *** building is highly discouraged." Really Bro?

My stinking lungs are not happy about something. Stupid asthma.

Looking cool at my dermatologist appointment. Yearly skin check. Why yes I am a party animal.

I submitted my survey response and said not to use AI created books. You go to your profile and scroll to the bottom.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Happy bisexual morning to those who celebrate.

Read 3 great books this weekend while working on my quilt. The Wedding People by Alison Espach White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan

No YOU stayed up until nearly 3am crying on the couch reading a romance novel.

I don’t understand why Apple Music has decided that Imagine Dragons and Halsey need to be played all the time.

LOL. #HeatedRivalry #dadjokes

Working on finishing my first #englishpaperpiecing quilt. I know I’m doing this wrong putting together the back, quilted portion, and the batting. I do not care. It will eventually be done.

Lmao!!!! #heatedrivalry

Today is Artoo’s 6th birthday. We celebrated by getting him a pup cup and going to the park for a sniff heavy walk. Now we are cuddled on the couch. Happy birthday sweet boy.

Yeah, don’t mind me like tearing up in my freaking car listening to Golden and thinking of how perfect it would be to vid #heatedrivalry after they come out and start playing together. #kpopdemonhunters

Hudson on the Tonight Show was a gift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfLq... #heatedrivalry

I got pulled in my boss's office for a talking to for not doing something yesterday. Luckily I was actually working on something else and wasn't able to work on the other thing. I feel VINDICATED because I can tell that one of my coworkers complained. It brings me joy to thwart high school babies.

So I took Tylenol, tramadol, and gabapentin to hopefully help with the pain. Still feel so much pain and am so barfy.

So how fun would it be to get my IUD replaced today?! Zero. Zero funs.

Carter Vaughn in Sochi is just such good people. 😍 #HeatedRivalry

Things at work are tense today. I don't know what happened but some people came back from their leave CRANKY and it's giving me stomach problems.

Just finished this audiobook. It’s inspired by Hozier and is a really good romance novel. I laughed out loud several times. I also cried. Musical theater kid here just loved so much of this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jon Stewart made a #HeatedRivalry joke on the Daily Show last night and I listened to it at work and giggled like a tiny child. :D Thanks show.

I’ve been watching a lot of The Repair Shop on YouTube. I’m of the mind that Dom is the LBD of this show.

#HeatedRivalry Connor Storrie for Behind The Blinds: Too Big To Contain What?

Rombutan fan art of Scott and Kip from #HeatedRivalry. So. Happy.

I went to get an audiobook out from my library and it is only available in German. As is the rest of the series. We aren’t a big German language area and it seems an odd choice. It’s also only available on audible which is disappointing.

Drinking peppermint tea and trying not to murder people this Monday morning.

Has anyone talked to @girlphenom.bsky.social recently?

Went for a short short walk with Artoo because it is so cold out and his poor little paws couldn’t handle it. We are snuggled on the couch watching Repair Shop while I sew. There’s something so lovely and calm about all of these things together.

End of year. Jeezy Creezy!

December roundup

It makes me laugh every time I bring up my phone. #heatedrivalry

Just this baby boy snuggling in front of the heater.

One Direction and #heatedrivalry LOL.

I’m like still crying after the end of that episode and I finished it like 20 minutes ago. #heatedrivalry

OMG. I just. I can’t believe the season is over. #heatedrivalry

Shane’s face when they’re talking about Svetlana 😭 #heatedrivalry

Scott’s speech. My heart. I’m weeping. #heatedrivalry

I love Connor as Ilya but after rereading #heatedrivalry again I do miss how much bigger than Shane Ilya is. Size difference FTW.

#heatedrivalry I. Cannnnnnnnot.

I've been having more joint pain lately and I think it's to do with muscle loss due to my GLP-1. I've started doing seated resistance band workouts to hopefully help with that. My nutritionist said that even if you do something for 1 minute it helps. So lots of one minute workouts...
