I'm sad, so some gratitudes: 1) I made a giant batch of food at lunch that will last me the next few days 2) My Korean letters are starrrting to improve 3) Almost to the end of SKKS with @amesville.bsky.social and WHOA NELLIE the drama! 4) I did two big things today to reduce my pre-surgery anxiety

#uspoli O RLY

JFC, someone has already sold my personal cell number and company name/job title to the highest bidder; I was irritated enough with spam emails at work, but spam texts to my phone is just gross.

Another podfic! Fall Like Morning Glory by @ninamonday.bsky.social, a gift for @fardimensions.bsky.social for FTH 2025. 🎭 BTS, T, 53 min/7.4K words 🎭 jinkook 🎭 inspired by Fake Love MV 🎭 AU, mutant powers, coming of age 🎭 see tags and author's notes for warnings archiveofourown.org/works/71189356

#crafting Also worked on my crochet this week, granny squares for the HYYH hanging. You can see how I'm tracking them, lol, it helps me plan my crafting time!

#crafting This week's progress on @araleith.bsky.social's black and white JK! Super glad to see the other side of those jeans, lol. You can't really tell from the picture but I'm working on the shirt now.

We did it! I don't think I'll fully believe it until it's over, but we found someone who wants Dr Tweets. Sadly, he and Quincy have to be separated, but I'm just glad they both have a place to go. Details in the thread. (Also, if you have a few bucks to spare to help with costs, info is there, too.)

I hesitate to be too optimistic about it, lol, but I just wrote for my 25th day in a row! \o/

#kpop felt like we needed a nice thing so: Jin during the Happy concert! I am going to embroider him in this sweater someday.

If you looked at bsky's new rules and threw your hands up in horror...I'm not going anywhere for the foreseeable future but I am also on mastodon and can rec this guide if you want to try it out. (Not advocating for one over the other/trying to start an argument. I'm just offering resources.)

I deleted my last post because if I saw new replies come in I would continue to be anxious but thank you all so much!

SOMEBODY slept through her autofeeder going off and then tried to nag/convince me it was feeding time 90 min later. I led her into the kitchen, closer and closer, and finally had to pick her up and put her almost on top of the food bowl to get her to notice it. BUDDY.

#kpop if you've ever wondered why I have so many namkook feels

@martamoon.bsky.social FYI if you straight repost instead of quote repost my meme, people will only be able to ask me not you! :(

Any fandom we share!

#uspoli it's probably too much to hope they turn into the next Target, but I can dream

I'm always amazed at the English rules native speakers absorb growing up. If I were an English learner, I would read this and cry. I haven't even managed the order of where/when in Korean sentences.

Me with my tongue between my teeth: "bus-i-ness" every time - yes, I AM an accountant, thanks for asking. (There's a ton more but that's the funniest.)

Cute cats! If you're anywhere in the area and can help, please do.

#kids Eldest Niece asked me to come to her cross country meet 🥹 but it's during work hours 🥺 so I'm going to nerve up and ask my boss for time to go 😬 (I just feel bad with surgery coming up)

#food I made this salad I saw on YouTube, with some subs, and it's so easy/nutritious/delicious! Cucumbers Chickpeas Black beans Artichoke hearts Onions & peppers (frozen) Feta I think that's all? It made SO MUCH and it's SO GOOD. I put Ranch on it but you could probly eat it without.

What a name! Anapodotons!

C8T0: hiiii purrrrr Me: are you here because you love me or because you haven't gotten your morning snacks yet? C8T0: yes #PetPics

A very early (my time) #wipwednesday #BtsFic - slowly but surely chipping away (I typed "shipping away," lol) at sentinel/guide speed dating!

Ugh, I have to get up super early for me because past!me was a sadist when she scheduled my annual boobsquish, and I keep waking uuuup. 😩🥺😭 This is my 3rd time tonight? 4th? I'm going to be absolute garbage in the AM.

#kpop SJ: Rope It (pleeeeease) YG: SDL HS: Equal Sign NJ: uhgood JM: Letter TH: Slow Dancing JK: Shot Glass of Tears

I remain amused by the Soulmate Goose tag getting canonized because I wrote a two story series in CM RPF that I referred to as the White House Soulmate Goose Cinematic Universe and I feel as my brilliance is being appreciated (lol).

SC and adjacent friends?

Me: I'll break down all my fandom stuff step by step so I'll feel less overwhelmed! Also me: (help)

LRP: I'M not yelling YOU'RE yelling

If you saw a wipwednesday, no you didn't, lol

No lie, I read this as the Yoonjin FISH Exchange and was very intrigued!

I did All The Things (non-benadryl antihistamine, ice, and finally after work got Benadryl itch cream from the pharmacy and it worrrrked thank you so much!

I got lucky and didn't have major side effects after my shingles vax (unlike everyone I know, uh, sorry!) but the injection site is itching like FUCK today. Any suggestions before I call my pharmacist and ask?

omg how is it #ITPE time already? I haven't finished my FTH podfics for the year! So many commitments, maybe I'll wait to sign up til I'm sure I can do everything. *pouts*

I woke up with crystal clear memory of a stupid and boring dream (something about asking a fest runner nonsensical questions), but it wasn't a work dream and/or a nightmare so I guess that's fine?

If you read this and were like, hey, what now? here's a couple of Fanlore links for you: The Sentinel (TV): fanlore.org/wiki/The_Sen... Sentinels and Guides (trope) fanlore.org/wiki/Sentine...

I wish I could do polls but I can't, so: at what point did you realize the Sentinel/Guide AU was (somewhat) based on an actual television show? And if you didn't know until right this second, how do you feel about that? *puts microphone in your face*

Buck felt like he should be worrying a little bit less about Eddie on top of him, one knee very close to Buck’s groin, and more about the fact that Eddie was there because they had been kidnapped and were in the trunk of a moving car. And yet. And yet.

#food I made two giant things of food and my laundry is in the washer and dryer. So I need to get it together to portion out the food, wash the dishes I just dirtied, and fold the laundry headed my way. Just waiting for my back to calm down a little. *winces*

My cat let me go, and now I'm at my sister's to do laundry and cook a bunch of stuff for both of us for the week. I have a load in the washer and ground beef quick-thawing and I might reward myself with a fic from the Namkook Virgo Exchange (thank you @poetaureate.bsky.social!)

#PetPics it is fall, which makes it lap blanket time! Ergo, lap cat time! (I mean, I have someplace to be, but...)

#BtsRecs I genuinely can't get over this fic, I love it so much. I loved it as a standalone PWP and then it got this amazing second chapter of pining while fucking! My FAVORITE! JK is so great in this and Namjoon (and his deep voice) are amazing through Jungkook's not quite reliable eyes.

#kpop bonk! *giggles*

Middleman!!! Also idk if it was going to go anywhere I wanted it to but I did love Sports Night.

Fine, thanks, and you? don't look at the posting time on this don't look at the posting time on this DON'T LOOK--

Sean Austin was just elected president of SAG-AFTRA, and I'm having a lot of feelings because a) had a GINORMOUS crush on him in my youth (Goonies), and b) I was super into his mom (the late Patty Duke)'s autobiography and story about being bipolar long before I was myself diagnosed with it.

Omg, the vaccination nurse was SO SUPER NICE and is ALSO an identical twin! We had a lovely chat. She also gave me some good advice on lowering side effects, so 🤞

This is the last day for the Murderbot + Witch King and my other fantasy Humble Book Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/martha... We've raised $89,000 in donations for World Central Kitchen so far!
