I spent time in NATURE today 😍

Just had one of the best dinners of my LIFE and then realized that Michael C. Hall was in the booth across from us. I always forget he grew up in NC. 😂

Five shows to get to know me: Our Flag Means Death Ghosts (BBC) Stranger Things Gravity Falls Brooklyn 99 Honorable Mentions to Deadloch and most anything Mike Flanigan

CW: disability While things are significantly better than last year, I can see I’ve tried to minimize my disability and leaned into internalized ableism because I am doing so much more on this trip than I should, am in way too much pain, and feel like I can’t say anything bc it will ruin the vibe.

Four years ago today I started watching Our Flag Means Death. The first thing I posted after finishing s1 was "My life is in shambles." and this sketch. I'm a changed person. I was pulled above choppy waters and I'm still here in these beautiful shambles. 🧡🏴‍☠️🧡 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Made it to our destination for the long weekend. My sibling and I are mostly here for their bday, but it strikes me how my idea of a holiday is getting a cabin in the middle of nowhere so I can be one with nature and their’s is a cafe-hopping in a small city. 🫠

Going on a proper holiday for the first time in almost three years. We’re doing vacations! We’re unwinding!

this is weird, isn’t it 😋

Look who arrived from @suffersinfandom.bsky.social !!! These little dudes are going to get up to so many shenanigans. Thank you, friend 💜 #feltcrew #ofmdfandommarket #ofmd

Iconic. Love you, DT 💜

I’m not a f*cking mermaid ⚔️ #ourflagmeansdeath #ourflagmeansdeathfanart

Since it’s TDOV I’ll just give another shoutout to OFMD and this awesome fandom for giving me the courage and language to come out as queer (bi) in 2022 and genderfluid in 2023. Thank you, crew!

I DID IT. It’s outta my hands!!

Happy happy trans day of visibility, y’all.

Watching OFMD ep1 and made the devastating connection when Father Bonnet tells little Stede “this is what a man’s work looks like” when k*lling the goose, then in S2 when Stede saves Ed it’s “This Woman’s Work” playing. Did they do this on purpose??!!! 😭

I much prefer doing my research amidst the flickering lanterns of an old-fashioned library in Prague during a raging thunderstorm with the help of a library ghost, so no, I'm afraid I have no interest in "asking ChatGPT.”

Omg omg omg I only need to write a cover letter and I can send my manuscript proposal off to the editor!! And hopefully he will want to see the full manuscript 🤞

What a delightful interview! HFTW is easily one of my favorite films because of that lovely mix of joy and sadness that Taika wove through it. Joy bomb, indeed!

Am I nuts to want to get in shape just so I can go horseback riding again and learn to barrel race at age ~40?

Fuck this department. I’m only doing the bare minimum today then I’m going to get ice cream.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but one day, you will pull a loose book from a bookshelf and that hidden door will finally open for you.

It’s near impossible not to hear everything that happens in the offices around mine. I just had to listen to a really shitty conversation about me and my work/application for a promotion. It was horrible and now I want to cry.

Bad brain day and another hard therapy session this afternoon. Sooooo fucking tired.

I tried this too and yikes. Get thee away from me satan with that star anise! fridaytea.com/products/pis...

hate a bitch that needs chatgpt to write. what, you never heard of a thesaurus, you imbecile? you fool? you dimwit? you airhead? you absolute simpleton?

I’m so excited that these little guys are coming home with me!

Me looking at who keeps outbidding me:

Just me watching the items I'm winning in the auction as we're down to the last hour.

In the midst of me keeping an eye on bids for the OFMD craft auction, I dropped a glass dish lid, cut my foot, had to clean everything up, nearly tripped over a trash bin, and created a new swear word: “FRUITCAKE!!” 🙃

sure the entire world is on fire and existential dread is inescapable but just put that stuff in the box and lock the box and don’t open it again because it’s FRENCHIE FRIDAY

We were watching season 2 of Last One Laughing and I laughed so hard I nearly blacked out. Yay orthostatic intolerance!

Only just over two days left til the end of the OFMD fandom Craft Fair! Might we see a bit more action on the two items I’ve listed below? Historically, quilts are meant to tell a story. Both of these were inspired by Izzy’s words about belonging in S2. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Latest update for @piratereadingclub.bsky.social — nonfiction: A HAUNTED ROAD ATLAS by Christine Schiefer and Em Schulz of And That’s Why We Drink podcast. I’ve never listened to this podcast, but unfortunately this was a miss for me.

I have a ton of work that needs to be done and can only happen on a computer, but every time I look at the screen I feel a migraine coming on and 🤢

Starting to plan summer travel for archival research because I actually have the time and energy to do so this year! 😌🧳🚗

Saving for when I teach my piracy course again!

“kill them with kindness” wrong, don’t forget your fiddle 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻

Search your camera roll for “hell” Me every day:

Petition to get them their own cooking show

Fellow ofmd crafters: I bought my first skeins of hand-dyed yarn and now I’m at a loss as to how to wind them in balls without tangling everything. Any tips?

BEST CREW ON THE SEVEN SEAS www.32auctions.com/fandommarket...

CW: exercise and disability I’m trying to get back into a gym routine again because I’ve lost a lot of strength over the past few years. I also spent last week’s therapy session sobbing about how I just want to be fit enough to go horseback riding again. So that’s the goal.

There is SO MUCH good stuff on here! Looking forward to hitting that bid button when I take lunch 💸 www.32auctions.com/organization...

This is so awful to see. Sending love to my friends in Glasgow.

Checked another off the @piratereadingclub.bsky.social bing card: a book from a genre I usually avoid (thriller) — JACKAL by Erin E. Adams

Listen to a record. Pet your cat. Have some tea. Do anything to remind yourself that other things exist outside of our current situation. It’ll keep.

I got three hours of sleep. Yay.

Agreed to have coffee with my mom today, who then proceeded to knowingly bring up all the things I’ve asked her not to. And I just feel stupid and small for trying to let her in again.

Me over here watching the items I’m bidding on
