there is one single spot in my house she is not allowed and it’s this tiny bed in my office and of course that’s where she ALWAYS goes🙄

I need something stronger than coffee today. Where is the good shit?

Due to a loan from a family member, I’m $200 away from the goal of the high end cost currently (they lent me $400 so I’m at $1,200.) I’m hoping I’ll be at the low end but I can’t aim for that and fall short day of. I won’t know the final price till day of. So I need to get $200 before the 27th.

What’s a killer longfic I haven’t read? Prefer GB pairing for the long ones - maybe there’s something from early days I missed, or something new and delicious? Last 2 longer ones I read were Tarte Tatin and Unknown Number. Angst welcomed. Any spice level🙏🏼

If you're looking for a sign to switch careers: this is the sign.

Nothing. She’s my one and only💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

in other news nobody wants, every time “I’ll believe in anything” comes up, my old-ass goes right to this foundational bit o’ media. Syd Straw’s Future Forties/I Believe. I’ll believe in anything when I’m there. I’m certain I’ve said that before- m.youtube.com/watch?v=AyGW...

is there a way to, like, NOT have bad dreams all night every night? Aside from just not sleeping? Because that would be fantastic…

my local antique shop just got this late 1700s portrait in and if that isn’t a little Stedey Idk what is. If you look closely the jacket is green vines/foliage

Such a great read - I always found it endearing to see Chee had been there whenever I “liked” a Calico #HeatedRivalry post💓

was watching Mastermind last night and who appears (briefly) with good advice for Josh O’Connor but Matthew Maher! Always nice to see crew in the wild

oh my sweet Ed you so aren’t casual💓 This is lovely:

I won’t even ask how intimidating people think I am…

our two-day guests have gone - both professors (I am also a professor but in the same way I am catholic) and it was interesting to watch my kids toss around Proudhon quotes and say “Sino-Soviet war” and “Catalonian Revolution” when my house growing up was all Gretsky&fart jokes🤣

applejack 🍏

if you already have an HBO account and loved Heated Rivalry, may I suggest Our Flag Means Death if you’re looking for more unabashedly queer media.

People are talking on threads (I don’t go there but it spills over) about how #HeatedRivalry made them realize how little joy they’d let into their own lives. Girrrls (gn) have you TRIED our Lord and Savior Stede Bonnet?!? #OurFlagMeansDeath

While I’m in my feels about the Burren, how about a throwback Thursday to my first fic ever, which definitely makes a stop there. And where I became a total Suitcase Junkie😊 m.youtube.com/watch?v=kOeT...

Who on god’s green earth walked past this glorious haven and beloved gathering spot and thought, know what would be better? Glass and metal. 26 floors of overpriced living compartments. I cannot believe my eyes:

Everybody is starved for authenticity. Not focus-grouped, test-audienced, algorithmed "content." Art.

I am at my absolute limit of human interaction and wishing I had a padded panic room to hide in bc people have sensed this and now we are having out of town last-minute guests TONIGHT & TMRW and gang I’m not gonna make it

(cw: babies) When my daughter was born she was covered in the most luxurious coat of black down. Like, her head but right down her back, a baby seal. It only lasted a few days but I used to think of her as my Velouria m.youtube.com/watch?v=X24Y...

footsies forever 😭🥾👢

hey did I ever tell you how much I love Rhys Darby’s Stede Bonnet™️??? I do. I really, really do

Night bump for silly prompt fill I could not resist. What IS a raspberry Danish anyway?!

I don’t think I’ver ever tagged occupation but I have done bar owner, urban forestry (few times), actor, writer, financier, set designer, Innkeeper, chef, landscape architect, racehorse, merman, hotelier, performance artist, fisherman

whenever I get to this part of the winter uglies, the less and less seasonal depresh, I think of that great Josh Ritter line from The Curse: Under miles of stone, the dried fig of his heart Under scarab and bone starts back to its beating dried fig hearts unite m.youtube.com/watch?v=KXBI...

Hey, ya'll writers nervous about writing smut? Want to look in my brain (FEAR IT PEOPLE) here's a random unhinged stream of thought about how I personally write smut of you might find it helpful.

I need a workshop on writing the smut. Which one of you is going to run one? I make a complete mess of it, every attempt.

Reading bits and snippets about what S3 might entail is bittersweet. We have such great fic writers, artists, but hearing from THE creators I feel like I don’t want to read it, I need to experience it. Rhys. Taika. Vico, Samba, Nathan, etc, they add that required element. Irreplaceable😭

gang, we have a new quest…

Watch her. The power, the control. The program gets better as it goes, and when the camera pulls back you can really see it - the speed but also the difficult moves done at LOWER speeds toward the end- mesmerizing m.youtube.com/watch?v=2PVz...

i made an updated version of this, it felt like the right time to share it 🏴‍☠️❤️ #ofmdbts #longliveofmd

I’m way too shy to ever make it to a con, but sooo many of you touched me with your art, your words, your comments, your memes. I think my highlight was being on Ariana’s @neverleftpodcast.bsky.social . What enthusiasm for the writing I think I do in a void lol.An absolute honor and a great time🏴‍☠️

I listen to music when I shower, and about 15 feet away (in another room) my husband has his wfh desk. If he has a meeting I keep it quiet but he has very fancy noise canceling tech. Only two songs pierce those: Pygmy Love Song and I’ll Believe in Anything. Special waves, those😜

cancellation was a dick. BUT…we’re still here for the love, the art, the fic, the fundraisers, the unadulterated whimsy of it all. So. Ha fucking ha MAX🏴‍☠️🦄🏳️‍🌈#LongLiveOFMD
