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?????????????

LINDIE @kninjaknitter.bsky.social MADE A PODFIC archiveofourown.org/works/77792631

Ope guess I'm writing Heated Rivalry fic now? archiveofourown.org/works/77781486

Let people like things 2026

Someplace bright and new, a little gift exchange niblet for @515253545.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/77207206 With a truly lovely podfic by @kninjaknitter.bsky.social here: archiveofourown.org/works/77342976

Had a conversation with an IRL friend who is very active in a different fandom and we both agreed that while Heated Rivalry is fucking great it could’ve used a touch more hockey. I am here to learn something via blorbos, ok???

My year in fic has far and away been about collaboration and/or friendship inspo! Starting (and ending!) with water like a stone, my beloved collab with @gaywatson.bsky.social: archiveofourown.org/works/621530...

A guy on the street called me a "Lou-Reed-looking motherfucker"

You can like multiple things at the same time! Liking one thing does not diminish how much you like the other thing!

Survived my first year of graduate school, presented at a conference solo, parented a very stubborn child, didn't give up writing for fun entirely.

Time is a flat circle (I thought this was Teen-Wolf-era Tyler Posey for a full minute)

Tired: “which one of you is the man?” Wired: “which of you smirks smugly behind their coffee cup as presents are opened and which of you handles the trash bag of wrapping paper and packaging?”

What I’m not gonna do is read a bunch of Heated Rivalry fanfic before I watch the actual show because that’s how I got into the OFMD fandom in the first place & two would be too much
