We are at the beach with my extrovert child and she has adopted herself into another family with two girls her age and another kid from a third family and they’re all burying the dad in the sand.

Anyway this is what I’m working on archiveofourown.org/works/865397...

Who's got two thumbs and went into a fugue state and wrote 5,000 words today? This fuckin guy.

Good news some of them arrived and I looked & felt cute as hell today

Skyline chili is fantastic but you will never catch me ordering a 3-way because they overcook their noodles to death.

Happy pride to the gay ppl who live in my phone!

Bought some clothes while the gender pendulum was at the top of its arc and by the time they get here I know it will have swung back in the other direction

God, I’ve read so many (extremely popular!) fanfics in the past month or so that all use “It’s not X. Not Y. Just Z” as well as “It’s X in the way that X’ is when Y” and at some point it stops being a coincidence, you know?

Recently my child has been petting my hair and murmuring “good baby boy” shortly before she falls asleep. Kids are weird.

Still the thing I’m most proud of writing 💖

I feel like this semester extinguished any creative spark I had. I want to write fiction (fan- or otherwise) but the words just aren't there.

Thinking about the UChicago scav hunt & the lore of the kid who built a nuclear reactor in his dorm room & I just think that Stede Bonnet

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

After a year of being asked, "Oh, you're here for [Kid Who Isn't My Kid But Also Has Two Moms]?" at school pickup, I finally snapped, "Nope, I'm a different lesbian."

Having a real rough one today. Oof.

I thought the indoor waterpark was my sensory nightmare but I had never been to an indoor trampoline/ninja obstacle park

Who needs therapy when you could write 10-20 words in a private discord server 1-2 times per calendar month?

It took me a while before I noticed Buttons’s legs in the background but they’re my very favorite Easter egg

My day at work has been absolutely farcical to the point I am wondering if I am being punk’d.

In case anyone is wondering how my week is going, I just finished getting dressed after the gym including lacing and tying my boots before I realized I had neglected to put my jeans on

Lis inspired me to start donating again after a 10 year hiatus and it is SO EASY and SO IMPORTANT and you get DELICIOUS SNACKS after, and if you donate thru the Red Cross, they tell you where your blood goes!

okay one more craft fair promo on ur feed but... i'll handbind your fanfic into a hardback book!!! we can work together to design the elements of your book and turn your gorgeous words into something you can hold AND admire on your bookshelf 🥹 #FandomMarket www.32auctions.com/organization...

Literally everything, tbh, up to and including the organization and planning that went into making this happen! www.32auctions.com/fandommarket...

This is SO pretty and I keep thinking of fun new color combos! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Told an IRL friend about the craft fair, asked him to guess how much it had raised already. His guess was $40.

I feel like certainly I must have seen every item in the auction by now but then people keep posting new stuff I haven’t seen on any of my *mumble mumble* perusings and this is still only the first drop!

It's my birthday, it's my fundraiser (+team!), and my daughter is SO excited to have contributed... so i'm dropping hers early! My 9 year old learned to cross stitch for last year's auction, and she made this progress pride keychain for this one!! www.32auctions.com/organization... #fandommarket

When Zaslav said the numbers weren’t there he was actually telling the truth once you subtract out all the **** sock puppets

Just saw a guy in a reflective vest that read OUTLAW OPERATIONS MANAGER and I just think that Izzy Hands —

There are so many astoundingly lovely things here and I am in AWE of both the craft talent in this fandom and the organizational wherewithal of the mod team

My Apple Watch logged my primary workout but not the secondary one (trying to wriggle into a new binder when damp from the shower). I think I pulled a muscle in my neck.

#HeatedRivalry #podfic of @nomadsland.bsky.social “trolley problem” is available . The written work is a WIP with 2/? on AO3. This fic explores Ilya getting life lessons from Fred Rodgers while watching children’s TV to improve his English. on.soundcloud.com/xTXox0WzrHfs...

All the headlines like "Heated Rivalry is REAL and ALIVE in WOMEN'S HOCKEY" are so funny to me. Like babe in women's hockey you gotta come out as straight, marrying your opponent is encouraged, actually, if Shane and Ilya were PWHL players the story would be 3 sentences long

It has been more than a year and I thought maybe I was free but the siren song of "maybe a new tattoo would fix you" is REAL loud right now

Looking at the family and work calendars for the next couple months and if anyone needs me I'll just be breathing into a paper bag in the corner.

(The song in question was Mr. Brightside - she misheard "cab" as "cat")

One of my current fav games to play with my kid is to try to guess her song request based on her descriptions. Most recent stumped me for days until we heard it while out and about: “a boy singer who kinda sounds like Cayden. He’s in love with a girl but he’s sad and it’s also about a cat”

The reason Regency cheese Rhys is trying to be so manly is because Taika ran off with Monterey Jack

Just realized that Shane Hollander was canonically in grade 6 when Avril Lavigne’s Let Go was released & I just feel that maybe Sk8er Boi had lasting psychological effects

I've been on a bit of a Heated Rivalry tear and @kninjaknitter.bsky.social has been making truly lovely podfics: archiveofourown.org/works/78539731 and archiveofourown.org/works/78361011.

Every once in a while I click on a post on the dash and realize there's a whooooooooooole other side of fandom there, huh

I'm reading Charlotte's Web to my child and realized that I've never actually moved beyond Wilbur in terms of characters I identify with most. I am and have always been a depressed, socially awkward pig given to existential dread and ennui.

I just think I should be allowed to put my Ao3 stats on my CV -- I can be a prolific writer under the right circumstances

Ope guess i go here now. archiveofourown.org/works/78240556

Here's my WIP list, which is incomplete (YIKE)

O Brother With Big Naturals, Where Art Thou?

Guys it is 2026 and the source material is gay romance/smut, why are we tagging Heated Rivalry fic with Male Homosexuality??? YES AND?????????????
