If you see this, post a concert photo that you took. Harry Styles at the Masonic on the first show of his Live on Tour, uh, tour in 2017. ( @hllangel.bsky.social and I got on line at 9 a.m. to be this close and even so we were like 200th in line...)

Sorry to hear about this. My dishes are from Denby and they're wonderful, no stains or chips after 12+ years (one cracked plate due to a dishwasher mishap, but still usable, you can barely tell). Look better in person than they do in photos, too. Hope the company finds a way to keep going.

The difference between cucumbers and pickles is jarring.

My most kudosed fic is Sherlock omegaverse posted shortly after S2 aired, so we are not surprised 😂 The very close #2 (before a sharp dropoff) is Harry/Draco mpreg. That's the fic that once got recced with a warning(!) for switching, which some of you have heard me rant about before lol

This is why I keep pitching Octopus Jeopardy, a 100% all-octopus spinoff. Everyone tells me it’s a terrible idea but I think it has legs.

The first sentence of this sounds like it comes from a very particular kind of poem 😂 (It's actually about how physical forces may play a role in biological development)

The true fantasy of a Holmes/Watson dynamic is not being an eccentric supergenius, it's having an allistic friend who handles all your social and financial and administrative bullshit and asks for nothing in exchange but to admire you while you do your special interest stuff.

We used to drive from the Midwest to my mom's extended family in Florida every other Christmas. One time we left home when it was many degrees below freezing. When we arrived in sunny FL, my (mechanic) grandfather went to check out the car. Came back inside. "Did you know your tires are at 50 PSI?"

never a bad time to remind everyone that Farscape exists and is free to watch and is easily one of the top five space shows ever made. Has been described as "one American astronaut's introduction to the Australian kink scene, with muppets" and that's only like 1/5th of it but I got a character limit

Remembering the ancient ways

Writing process: (1) “I have the best argument in the world”; (2) start writing, think “oh no, this is a terrible argument, I’m going to lose”; (3) keep writing, think “this is pretty good, I think we have a good chance”; (4) proofread multiple times; (5) file; (6) find typo.

"I again emphasize that the Court has read every word of the allegedly infringed and infringing works..." Your Honor, by this point, no one has any doubt.

We got to go to a Wonder Bread factory & Living History Farms (Living History Farms is awesome, btw, definitely check it out if you're near Des Moines with a car)

astronomy is so funny because it's this fairly niche interest for a small community of nerds and also it's 99.9999% of everything that exists

I've been going through a directory of independent clothing stores that, it turns out, has a very loose definition of "plus size", such that I've clicked on a lot more storefronts for non-plus sizes than I usually do

90s Captain Ahab: Thar she blows. Thar she blows again.

the most difficult thing abt this website aside from the time limit is you can't tell someone they're the funniest motherfucker alive

Spring in the Midwest: small chance of tornados on Tuesday, moderate chance of snow on Wednesday

I've hung out with a wolf in a computer lab.

My grandmothers' mothers are very interesting, actually! One divorced her alcoholic husband in the 1930s, moved in with her sister, and worked as a secretary/bookkeeper while raising my grandma. The other was widowed when my grandma was 6, moved in with her sister, and worked as a seamstress.

My daughter: in the TLC song “No Scrubs,” what do they mean by “scrub”? Me: Honey this is the one and only pop song in history that opens up with a dictionary and thesaurus entry.

Shared this one earlier, so--

That bird stole my prom dress!

ME: pack a bag, we’re flying to kansas MY WAYWARD SON: what kind of bag

I just found a shirt that is so exactly in the center of the Venn diagram of things I love in clothing that I'm going to buy it even though it's got *viscose* in the fiber blend. local woman with strong opinions on clothing composition & light intensity is definitely neurotypical,

I don't understand online stores that sell lamps but don't tell you? how bright? the bulbs are?? it is meant to illuminate things??? I need to know if it will illuminate them?????

An infinite number of mathematicians enter a bar. The 1st orders a beer. The next says: "I'll have 1/2 of what he ordered" The next says: "I'll have 1/2 of that..." The bartender stops them, pours two beers and says: "I get it, but you need to know your limits."

I have. No more meetings today? That seems wrong.

Had a delightful conversation with my very gay psychiatrist today where I was talking about accidentally two hours of Lego last night when I meant to be sleeping and he was like, yeah, I don't even really like Bridgerton but there were new episodes so I watched that way later than I should've

Harry Potter, ff dot net, 18 I also read some other fandoms. And within a couple of weeks I was finding LotRiPS (and backing away slowly tbh -- but the stuff I found was badly written), then Yahoo! Groups, and then LJ.

It's very possible that part of the reason I complain about hockey so much is because I love it enough to write things like this...... (A m/m hockey romance novella! By me! All free!!) #StephWritesAboutHockey

I grew up in a heavily Dutch area, which didn't strike me as weird at the time, but now I watch this and I have all the sympathy for the refs in other states who had to read out all the girls' names before our soccer games 😂

I guess on Mondays we wear red

This is later than middle ages, but it reminds me of one very eye opening but of history for me. Years back, I had just bought the best laptop I had ever owned. I’d saved up for it, as it had cost a fair amount, but I was LIVING out of it. (This will make sense, I promise)

#olympics somehow I only just realized that all these Alpine skiing events are taking place...in the Alps

I didn't really have a tantrum, but I remain annoyed by the time I got a yellow card in a soccer game because a much smaller girl tried to muscle me off the ball (a foul in itself!) and instead bounced off me and fell over.

imagine if you were a vampire that lived for 100s of years but you just had a regular guy's memory. Like a normal person. "What was Venice like in the 14th century" Ahhh, I don't...I don't fucking remember. There was a guy, Vincenzo? Maybe that was the 15th century. Wait, did I live in Venice?

And then I uh got back into vidding? And made a short porny Heated Rivalry vid? AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/79701091 Tumblr: goseaward.tumblr.com/post/8087552...

Now I’m worried IKEA have found a source of sapient pearwood…

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it, And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done. And then to look the other way. To let her steal it. I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday - Crime.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them
