So if you need something entirely marvelous to keep you company there’s yet another chapter of the podfic for A Little Restraint. I promised @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and @amuseoffyre.bsky.social to cheerlead it because I love it so much 🥰. There’s almost 6 hours recorded thus far and they’re fab⬇️

An absolute hero of mine, Torch Song Trilogy changed everything. His quilts are magnificent. It’s a joy to watch him find a new way to express himself later in life, very Ed & Stede💖. And lots of us. Also, he once called me Madam DeFarge in Dublin, but that’s a story for another day.

Well the crud that is going around Seattle got me. Feeling grateful for my flu, covid, and pneumonia for old people jabs, hoping it stays mild. Any sick-fic recommendations would be quite welcome. Especially under the radar fics. Thanks all. Commission from @neslee.bsky.social because it’s adorable

Oh @lumiilys.bsky.social Thank you for the love and care you put into the auction Gentlebeard zine. Three of the most lovely moments and I can carry them with me. With a bonus drawing. 🥹. I love us.

Found this super baggy sweatshirt from back in the plague and it’s exactly how I feel about mostly everything these days. Truly my emotional support gents.

Reposting this because this story is remarkable. @flagmeanssteph.bsky.social thank you for this special story.

Moya Brennan, one of my favorite singers, has passed. An unaccompanied song in Irish is one of the most beautiful things you could ever be lucky to hear. I found this perfect song to share. May her memory be a blessing. youtu.be/0BT7ErpWNR8?...

So good 🎉 youtu.be/qW3x-gP-MS4?...

youtube.com/shorts/ZT0e0... Taskmaster in half an hour! 🎉🥰

This is beautiful. Just the perfect amount of poignant 🥹🏴‍☠️💖

This and it’s companion story are perfect little bites of our innkeeper gents. 🏴‍☠️💖

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows this glorious story is complete and is absolutely magical. @flagmeanssteph.bsky.social has done something remarkable with this story. archiveofourown.org/works/607296...

Without saying your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned 18. No contest 💕

4 years ago, having just taken a papercutting class, I made my first piece of OFMD art. I had never been so compelled to capture a moment. I didn’t know anyone who’d watched the show. That piece of red silk still has my heart and I have joyfully cosplayed it. Grateful for it all, and you all.

@robertaseaport.bsky.social Have you seen this? If I remember correctly Robin Hood is your favorite ❤️

Update. There was lemon curd hiding inside😯. So delicious and made me appreciate why Rhys chose a pavlova as a proud symbol of his quirky marvelous homeland. If you’ve never watched Rhys in Japan and you need some joy, it’s all on YouTube. He takes a lot of his clothes off, if that’s a draw.

Amazing!

Oh my goodness I met the lovely Pabu-Chan a few years ago but this is the first time I’ve ever found one since to eat. I squealed with delight. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch Rhys in Japan for absolute joy.

Have some after Easter discounted grocery store roses. If you look closely there are some beads I made that fused to their mandrels in between the blooms. In the spirit of Miss Rumphius 💐

You may not know @taskmaster.tv. It's hilarious & joyful. I begged to do it, worked out my schedule a year ahead of time to make it happen & got to do the best show on TV w/ the loveliest ppl. Ep 1 is out &, trust me, you need this joy. All seasons free on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRfH...

Found this lurking in my long ago photos. It’s us, isn’t it?

Fab! 💖

Feeling this way right now. Got my craft fair items to the post office, sent kind words over to Kristian, congratulated a friend on their fic being #40,000, saw that two of my favorite people got teamed up to double pod, still smiling about recent time with a lovely pirate friend. Crew for life🏴‍☠️💖

Yay!🎉

Seven to go! 39,993 is such an elegant number ☺️

My face hurts from smiling.

Happy Taskmaster Day to those who celebrate!🎉 youtu.be/oRfHA2d3DhM?...

Only 10 more🥰

13 more until 40,000 stories! From nine hours of television. The talent on this ship! Why are we even pirates?

New chapter of this gorgeous podfic! @kninjaknitter.bsky.social is doing such a marvelous job with @amuseoffyre.bsky.social ‘s words💕 archiveofourown.org/works/820228...

Felt like reassuring this poster that life’s still good after your 40s so I popped this in.I truly think no one would ever say I’ve slayed,because I’ve never tried to. But over these last days 750+ people have taken a moment to like it and the comments made me misty.It’s been surprisingly emotional

This one is extra sweet. 💜🏳️‍🌈

I flipping love New Orleans. Thank you @valkyrieeleison.bsky.social for the marvelous company and bringing me to your favorite places. I’ll be dreaming of those charbroiled oysters.

Five shows to get to know me Our Flag Means Death Ghosts (BBC) Would I Lie To You Doctor Who (CE & DT years especially) The Muppet Show

Just danced for the first time in ages, even with only one knee that bends. The band in the hotel bar was lead by Lena Prima, Louis Prima’s daughter. My father loved him, and she put on a great show. New Orleans is a special place and I feel lucky to have spent a few days here.

Here’s another lovely chapter of the podfic of A Little Restraint. @amuseoffyre.bsky.social has given us such a marvelous pairing,and @kninjaknitter.bsky.social ‘s podfic is making me fall even more in love with them. archiveofourown.org/works/820228... I will never get over the talent on this ship

Au, free to a good home. 🤭

Twenty chandeliers? That’s overkill. 🏴‍☠️💖

Delighted to see the second chapter of the podfic of this marvelous story by @amuseoffyre.bsky.social is up, read fabulously by @kninjaknitter.bsky.social. Trust me on this one💖 archiveofourown.org/works/820228...

Swamp tour. Alligators and Spanish Moss, which isn’t Spanish or moss. Guide fed the alligators marshmallows. This one was almost 14 ft long!

I’ve never been more pleased to leave first kudos. These boys have all of my heart 💜. What a dream team. I am so chuffed to hear @kninjaknitter.bsky.social read @amuseoffyre.bsky.social’s gorgeous story.

Spent the evening with @valkyrieeleison.bsky.social and pirate friends are simply the best people. Aren’t we lucky to have people we can be ourselves with 🏴‍☠️💖

Oy vey, FB (don’t yell at me I’m old and have some longtime friends that’s the only place they go) has figured out that I’m in New Orleans and keeps pushing a donut tasting tour on me and I’m lucky it’s overpriced or I would fold like a turnover.

Seen in New Orleans. This is not that long ago. I was 11 when this happened. Queer history is tough but important.

I came down to the hotel bar, the loudest place I’ve been in ages. Sitting by myself feeling invisible, just wanting an Old Fashioned. Came close to puddling up, when finally the sweetest waitress came by and I got to order. She just came back with a big smile and my drink and turned it all around.🥰

Just wanted to thank @kalansphantomff.bsky.social for We Were Lovers Only Dreaming. It came up once when they were doing the give me a number and I’ll give you a fic game, but I was daunted by the word count. Recently started it and loving it. Gonna pause for a bit as I’m at the end of 16.

Ok, we’re back in the air and I forgot to say that I get to have dinner with the lovely @valkyrieeleison.bsky.social tomorrow which is marvelous. I splurged on wifi so I can lose myself in fanfic but feel free to continue to show me more dashing pirates.
