I am incredibly touched by all the support you’ve shown me for this Holiday OFMD fic mini announcement, thank you so much! 🥹

I’ve outlined another holiday fic, and some lovely friends in Discord have been very encouraging and supportive, so it’s possible there will be some fluffy Ed/Stede happening in December once again.

US based fandom friends, please call if you can. I'm calling my senators, again, to put pressure on their colleagues 🙃

Autumn rain on my dahlias, part 2.

Autumn rain on my dahlias, part 1.

I love when the ornamental grass in my yard plumes in the fall and the setting sun hits it just right.

Taking my kids to see Florence + The Machine in April, and I’m so hyped!!! They are, too!

Haven’t taken my Halloween lights down yet, so enjoy a purple and orange sunset.

Today’s good thing: Found a bumblebee taking a nap on my dahlias this morning.

“The Gentleman Pirate, I presume.”

Went on a lovely walk today and saw loads of wooly bears!

It's finally time! OFMD Big Bang posting starts tomorrow!

Working with faux leather (vinyl) fabric for the first time to make my older son’s Halloween costume, and it SUCKS! Had to redo the belt because it was wider than he wanted originally, and it curled up on me after I cut it down and tried topstitch it again. Still, I think it’s going okay so far.

I love Arsenal so much. 4-0 routing of Athleti tonight. I’m buzzing!!!!!

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The light was hitting this one dahlia in my garden perfectly this afternoon!

Calafiori was pleased with his towel. #Arsenal

Listen, I love football and am a diehard Arsenal fan, but I’m not immune to this insane face. Watch my favorite team AND this absolute worldie?! Yes, please.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

This is great, I’m so glad he posted this.

This is so cute!!! (And a Bellerín sighting!!! Miss you, Hector!)

I feel like two of Calafiori’s least impressive games for Arsenal lately have been when Trossard starts on the left. Just an observation, not trying to start anything.

ARSENAL, YOU BEAUTIES!!!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Calafiori does not play when it comes to Martinelli. 😂

YES, MARTINELLI!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM!!!!!!

Oh, no, not Robert Redford!! The Sting is one of my all-time favorite movies! Damn, this one hurts.

Political violence and threats are not the answer. This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion. We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Question: When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

The admin of the official Champions League Twitter account posting a thirst trap photo of Calafiori is both deeply relevant to my interests and incredibly hilarious.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Our streetlight made some cool light streaks in the fog last night.

Eze coming in at the 60th minute when Liverpool’s legs are starting to wear is gonna hit so hard.

FULLBACK FC!!!!!!! TIMBER GOLDEN BOOT!!!!

The football gods giveth and the football gods taketh away.

No no no no no no no no, not Saka!! Wtf, first Ødegaard and now this?!??

YES, GYÖKERES!!! LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOO!! Pass in was from Calafiori, too. Timber has a goal and an assist, now Cala. Fullback FC.

Sky was so pretty tonight!

I've been wondering where all the anti racist authors and activists who were highly visible a few years ago have gone. Now that there's no money to be made and the work isn't safe, where are they? My latest on the blog. blackgirlinmaine.com/current-even...

The Eze transfer has been the best thing that’s happened to me all week. Ludicrous levels of dopamine right now.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Please let Eze come to Arsenal, PLEASE let Eze come to Arsenal. He and Calafiori are going to cause so much chaos on the left, let’s goooooooo!!!

One thing I love about Calafiori is how he’s always seeming to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy himself. Singing North London Forever before a match, joining in chants for his teammates. I like seeing players appreciating this sort of thing and having fun with the game.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

I saw my boy Gudea at the Cleveland Museum of Art today! My favorite piece in the whole place. I’ve been captivated by the existence of these statues since college, and I’m always so happy to see one. Kind of like the joy of Ea-Nasir memes but Gudea actually was cool.
