Finished Queer Georgians. Cried at least a dozen times. Highly recommend.

It's been so long since I finished a Real Actual Novel that now that I'm approaching the end of this one I feel like reality is melting around me 🙃

Picked up a plastic spider on my walk this morning & left it on my open notebook when I came in and have jumpscared myself twice as a result.

I'm three minutes into Queer Georgians and my eyes are already alight with delight as the author explains his approach. So excited for this.

It's too hot to think but handily writing does not involve any thinking and I've still put 800 words into this manuscript while lying down and fantasising about being on the crew of the HMS Terror as a preferable alternative to the heat.

Today I have fallen into the 20ft deep "do I really need [medically necessary thing] or am I just a big ol' faker?" hole and hit the rock-carved sides a dozen times on the way down 🙃

Utterly offensive that spending more time writing is in fact resulting in getting more writing done.

Who could have foreseen the state of the world anyway apropros of nothing whatsoever here's a book about queers fighting a megalomaniac billionaire who wants to kill us all shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/the...

Woman drinking wine with her dog, Persia, 17th century

Amongst the myriad joys of having ADHD is the capacity to become briefly intensely passionate about a new activity. Anyway this week I am learning how to spin yarn and I am already looking into the care and keeping of sheep, perfectly secure in the knowledge that it will not go that far.

Everything is really scary and horrible, and on the utter flipside, we made these really adorable valentines. The dissonance of seeing horror, then posting "hey buy some cute valentines" is making me feel loopy. But also nice things persist despite terror? Ugh idk. Get 'em at SquidFacts.net

This was inevitable I suppose but I've started talking about hydration salt flavours as though they're expensive wines

Highly recommend going through your library app and putting a bunch of stuff on hold as little gifts for future you.

Forgot to show you guys my finished socks. They are imperfect but that does not stop them being warm and cosy 🥰

GenAI is by losers for losers.

Blessed Yule and Happy Solstice! ❤️❄️

I get such a rush returning a book early in the Libby app when it says someone else is waiting for it like YES I get to give a total stranger I'll never know a pleasant little surprise by pressing a single button! I hope they enjoy the book!!

Going though old files frantically searching for a book I know to be ~80% complete and finding an absolutely wild number of books that are anywhere from 30-80% complete. Who wrote all these and put them in my Scrivener folder.

#jamvent day 6 is pear, mandarin, and cinnamon. I can only call it "elevated baby food" but I mean this in a good way

♥️

Baby's first sock 🧦

#jamvent day 5 is pineapple, rum, and vanilla. A microdose of tropical holiday 🏝️

If the way I am coping with the weather today is any indication of how I'll do over the summer: it's been a pleasure knowing you all but I will be shuffling off the mortal coil some time in January

#jamvent day 4 is cherry and violet, tastes like having tea with Mrs. Mole under a big leaf still dripping from a recent sun shower

"I will write a short 15k Christmas novella" I said.

#jamvent day 1: apricots au miel. Tastes like a sunny day on the porch with scones and tea & the sounds of children playing in the street.

10 more days!

Worth braving the cold and rain this morning to see a delightful little cluster of mushrooms

Recent decadence I've been indulging in: making a long black and taking it with me to clasp in my cold hands and sip on a little walk around the neighbourhood while listening to an audiobook. Highly recommended.

AN UNCOMMON BETROTHAL is a 1920s erotic romance between a disabled gentleman classicist and his new butler who's fat, sexy, and covered in tattoos. You ever wish Jeeves and Wooster could be broodier and bitchier and spitroast another man between them? johannestevans.co.uk/product/an-u...

Today's mycological haul is very orange

There is no feeling in the world that compares to a freshly shaved head 🥰

Today's aesthetic: inventing purely hypothetical Ancient Greek roots for words that are 100% absolutely not Greek in origin in order to construct the most grotesque spurious plurals you've ever seen.
