also this story contains the sentence "There is no suggestion that Veronika’s skills are evidence of the evolution of an ominous new species of super-cow," surely an early front-runner for sentence of the year

Intrusive thoughts about Canadian fictional characters : at one point Wolverine and Anne of green gables were alive at the same time

I got lobster mac and cheese at a little popup restaurant in a deserted corner of SFO that was so good I practically cried

So, #HeatedRivalry is getting pretty popular on AO3 😂 (I collect data roughly weekly on how many fics are in each fandom. This is the average posting rate of *net new* fics for the last three months or so for the 5 hottest fandoms as of my last data collection, excluding all-RPF and Original Work)

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

I made a playlist like "here are a bunch of songs that I like so much even the opening notes make me happy" and yet I'm always surprised when it lifts my mood 😂

TIL that Sheetz is named Sheetz bc the guy who started it was named Sheetz (it's as great as you've heard)

Apparently I used to frequent the same coffee shop as Joseph Gordon-Levitt for like 3 years and never once saw him

yuna (saying goodbye after learning ilya’s fucking her son and wanting to make him feel at home): and ilya, i just want to say, i’ve talked a lot of shit about you over the years, and … you should know i’m not sorry. about any of it shane: MOM, GOD ilya (through tears): thank you. that means a lot

Just got a push notification from a certain food delivery app service offering to bring me pizza from Chuck E. Cheese's and gonna be honest, if you'd asked me, I would have said that that pizza disappears when you carry it out the door like fairy food

Even in these difficult times we must continue making art. That's why I will always post things such as "The ass is the window to the soul"

Fine-tuning a song in my chorus, the director says, "If you're breathing...stop doing that" 😂

Leaving aside my feelings about the franchise now, a friend and I went to a secret pre-release movie viewing that we realized at the last minute was the last Harry Potter movie. We were the last people they let in the door. The effects shots weren't even finished yet. I was so happy!

LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HOW SMALL HE IS BEING

Wrote about Heated Rivalry for Smart Bitches: smartbitchestrashybooks.com/2025/12/heat... I was thinking more about the quality of the acting we're getting in this show--how the two leads completely disappear into their characters, and how rare a gift that is. So few actors achieve this!

there was a “write an uplifting message to give to a queer youth” table at yesterday’s craft fair so i made this

Oh no. The scam/phishing text people have finally figured me out.

Our resident fan of both romance and real-life hockey has all the thoughts you need on #HeatedRivalry, the new hockey romance series on HBO. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2025/12/heat...

Y'all this past week I've seen some baffling takes on Heated Rivalry by people who have zero knowledge or enjoyment of romance novels, romance narratives, or sex scenes as a storytelling device. "Uh where's the romance? Why are they boning so much???"

Heated Rivalry feels like (and i do NOT mean this as a criticism) a propaganda film for the concept of twunks.

I'm not sure about the current job, but in the old one (astrophysics), anything at all to do with astrology...

yes, it's that marvel of the arctic; the wonderful snowshoe hare!

Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

sent the typo "midwets" and I think that's my new name for the Great Lakes tbh

One of the odd things about the current Internet is that people I knew as bloggers 20 years ago are now doing video content and so I'm finally learning what they all look like...

One of my favorite things that has ever happened to me is that I wrote a pretty disturbing fic bc I couldn't get the idea out of my head. I posted it anonymously on AO3. And some lovely soul read it, ALSO couldn't get the idea out of their head, and wrote a much longer achingly beautiful sequel...

#lrp I don't really hockey but I enjoy a very silly static

I'm eating a quiche for breakfast and it's still funny to me for like ten year old RPF reasons.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”
