in many ways, i’ve enjoyed the near-nonstop rain and cloudiness of the past several days, because it’s felt very autumnal and moody and good for creativity and coziness, but lord have mercy, does it make me sleepy!

Chapter 3: steps archiveofourown.org/works/633378...

thinking about them

i finished putting my shelves up, by the way! and i filled an entire grocery bag with trash and got rid of a stack of assorted boxes. my whole body hurts, but my room is marginally less of a disaster. 🎉

watching s2e6 and someone set off fireworks somewhere nearby at the exact same time as gentlebeard were banging, that’s gotta be some kind of omen

one last bump for this chapter. if you're waiting for the angst to resolve, we're almost there-- i think it's safe starting from chapter 16.

just barely got around to showering, so i think i’m gonna treat myself like i’m hungover today (not that i literally ever have been) and go to love’s for a gas station coffee, a sparkling water, and an olipop or something.

i’ve got one anchor halfway in and need to find a screwdriver after i finish my cup of tea. and maybe a level, but one of these shelves is a little wonky. and i tried to mark out where the anchors go, but my walls are too dark and i lost my marks. but we’re getting there!

Two months ago, some pretty wonderful news came out about a clinical trial showing that a gene therapy might be able to delay the progression of Huntington’s Disease. HD is a devastating neurological disease that attacks behavioral, cognitive and motor function. It’s fatal and it’s genetic. 🧵

We are here at the end of an unhinged road. Happy Sexual Sunday - celebrate with the Like I Picture You Boys as they take an important step. In their inimitable style and we close the book on them #ofmdfanfic archiveofourown.org/works/710682...

the time of year where i wake up (often repeatedly) with deep knee and hip aches has apparently arrived.

if this is the kind of thing that floats your boat, i finally updated the last couple months of my fic reading tracker spreadsheet (which also has last year's reading)

i will never own property and my governor’s like a tv villain who tweets, but man, do i love avocado toast made with california sourdough.

beloved fat friends with joint issues: one of my good friends is in need of a knee brace that will fit her leg comfortably and not do any weird rolling or cut off her circulation and the standard drug store options aren’t it. what brands do y’all like?

worked on my frame a bit, read a couple chapters of my book, maybe finished my fic outline. (haven’t written any jamestown because i’m in the middle of some smut and have been surrounded by people lol)

*sees that a new coffee shop has opened, checks their ig, notes that all the baristas look verrrry christian iykwim, finds a reel that mentions "safety" no less than three times when it's located in a pretty affluent area, finds another reel featuring my old boss, immediately navigates away*

pop-up: cancelled!!! 🎉 more time for writing, trying to finish my library book (which i already had to renew once), and working on my frame.

got another diffuser-related injury. curly hair is a curse.

posting my intentions for the day so other people will have seen them and i'll feel bad if i don't follow through: shower, go to work and grab some stuff for tomorrow's pop-up in the rain that literally no one will go to, do NOT go lollygag with friends and instead go to a cafe to read/write/draw.

ao3 seems to be a little testy this morning, but bumping this anyway

Nina update: We went to the gastroenterologist and she prescribed some compounded medications for Nina and some regular ones, changed her food, and we'll repeat the tests in 30 days. Here are the prescriptions without my information. Any help would be very welcomed at this point ❤️‍🩹🐱

just realized that while my non-fandom friends have a cursory knowledge of gentlebeard just because i’m annoying, they probably don’t know a single thing about lupete, and they all literally refuse to watch the show. insane. criminal. they’re only hurting themselves.

big night for my mom: there’s a 20/20 special on a recently-solved fresno murder case she remembers on tv right now

unfortunately for me and my many wips, i have a new 500 word outline. 🥲

got home, put on my slippers, almost immediately stepped in dog shit and had to throw the slippers away because they won’t survive another wash. i’m trying so hard to wanna be alive in this situation and uh… it’s not easy.

let them kiss again

asking is tough, but i'm hanging on by a thread, my housing situation is imploding, and i'm struggling to afford groceries/meds/etc 😓 if anyone is able to contribute, every little bit would be a huge help to this queer trans person rn 🫂🫶 ko-fi.com/patcheschance

i think i would like to know less about rich people. i disliked them plenty without knowing, y'know, all of this.

i was gonna be cheap and make a k-cup at work instead of getting a latte when i get off, but there's no coffee left in the break room, so i guess i have no choice but to spend $8+ on something ten times more delicious, oh no

edward teach in these and little (if anything) else

morning bump!

i knew when i heard him play it in july that i’d wanna eventually make “oh my days” by orville peck everyone’s problem and that remains true now that the song’s actually out. it’s so, so gentlebeard.

finally topped half a million words, btw 🎉

Liz, thank you so much. You actually pushed me to make a better graphic for this. 🧡 🧡

tried to be a real, brave adult and schedule a pelvic exam at the queer health clinic, but they can’t see me without a referral from my primary care doctor and i don’t have one, so i guess i’ll probably just go back to doing nothing about my health for ???????

man, i feel like gaaaarbage, but i have to meet someone at 3 to get a stupid check signed, so i have to just suck it up for two hours whether i want to or not. 🥲

made a cup of coffee almost as soon as i settled into my office today and it was apparently a huge mistake because i have never been more sleepy

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

it’s supposed to rain for the better part of the next week and that’s all well and good, except that it means that because my mother is insane, all 7 dogs will be inside 24/7 and there will be nonstop barking and growling and yelling and piss and shit everywhere and i will wish i was dead.

remember when night moves was originally gonna be three chapters long and then it became five? and then remember when chapter five was over 18,000 words long??? that was wild.

p.s. when i went to jury duty, they asked me to wake my phone when i went through security and this was my lock screen. i hope they loved it.

really going back and forth between “i don’t think i have an ear infection, actually” and “oh, no, i definitely have an ear infection” the past couple days

walking around downtown fresno at sunset and romanticizing the hell out of it because i’m a professional yearner
