i’ve been a morning tea-instead-of-coffee guy ever since i got covid in 2022 and realized it actually was better on my stomach (rude), but sometimes i like to have a morning cup of coffee anyways, just to feel alive.

i try not to notice when i lose user subscriptions on ao3, but wow, that seems to happen a lot lately. 🥲

i quietly stuck this beauty by @self-induljennt.bsky.social into chapter 2 of night moves last night and now i need you all to see it. archiveofourown.org/works/621553...

i have a zoom meeting at 9 in the morning and was already gonna do that from home, but i think i’m actually gonna just treat myself to a full work from home day tomorrow. i think i deserve that.

(i'm not saying the next few chapters of jamestown ferry are fairly whumptober-friendly, but i'm also not -not- saying that.)

i panicked my way out of my real dinner so i was like, oh, i’ll eat some of the figs i just bought, but nope—moldy— so now i’m making toast and the dogs are barking and my mom is yelling and i’m gonna ~lose it~

not now, sweetie, mommy’s busy opening a can of beans for dinner and then immediately convincing herself it’s contaminated

i hate everything about this and am never agreeing to paint a 3d printed kewpie again if it happens to come up, but can you see where i’m trying to go with this?

i keep feeling ~weird~ and asking myself what my problem is and then remembering that october's a traumatic life event month for me now (and summer's a whole traumatic life event season, really), so i guess it makes sense that my brain feels like tv static.

i only use fb from my work page and i'm one of at least two admins (i'm just the only one who really manages it) and haven't used my own account in ages, so i dunno how to explain this, but our feed is just... full of ai slop about derek hough???

i dunno what came over me, but i just created an inventory spreadsheet for every type of stationery, marketing material, and tabling supply at my org. no one asked and no one cares, and yet!!!

did a cursory peek at my work inbox before really settling in and taking care of business and i’m already over it.

"Ian" sent this vid from where he is harvesting figs in Madera CA. He gets paid $2.15/a bucket. The piece rate pay has not increased significantly in years. He wishes it would go up since his expenses and the price of food for his family has gone up a lot. #WeFeedYou

just did maybe 10-12 minutes of fairly gentle and basic leg workouts and stretches and already know i won’t be able to walk in a day or two.

posting without the meme or whatever for no real reason, but (circa maybeee 2006 or so?):

i really want the $40 pam anderson spicy rose pickles, but i also recognize that i do occasionally need to rein my frivolity in and this is almost definitely one of those times.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

we always ask our board members for a brief bio (just a paragraph or two) and the person who always causes me problems and strife just reworked theirs again and it's still 400 words long.

I just miss them so much 😭 #OurFlagMeansDeath #OFMDfanart

i’ve entered my annual oingo boingo moment

Hey all! If anyone has some change to spare to help me pay for my insulin pump supplies, it would be much appreciated! Being diabetic in the US is unfortunately an intense stress nightmare. ko-fi.com/norskheks/go...

it’s nice that when i go to work events and big meetings and stuff, everyone is like, “thank you so much for everything you do! we have no idea how you do it!” because little do they know, i waltz in at 10:30 or later, work in a frenzy for maybe an hour, then scroll around on bsky all day.

had to check the comments of this morning’s gmm to see if anyone else couldn’t help but think their wardrobe choices were lowkey giving gentlebeard. (just me, i guess.)

forgot to show y’all this cursed thing i saw at grocery outlet

Just a reminder: No matter the fandom, if you sort by Kudos on AO3 and only read the most popular fics, you're going to miss a LOT of amazing fanworks, including the ones still being actively updated. Especially for older fandoms that may be less active now.

just went to the store and bought so much produce, like i don’t know who i am.

‼️go buy some sweet lil guys from Sami‼️ ‼️highly recommend‼️ oh and I have a shop too!!1!

a question i meant to ask the other day: one of my best friends and i discovered the other day that we both had an obsession with woodies (panel cars) when we were kids. is this sort of like being a horse girl (which i also was), or were we alone in this?

my friend’s doing a kewpie art show on thursday and asked me to do one, so naturally, i wanna make this creepy 3d-printed abomination into ed teach. the thing is… i’m already sick of sanding it. any tips for making that less awful??? (i need to go get some different grits, i know.)

love when i get up and stretch every morning and my shoulder jams back into place like i’ve just fired a shotgun

happy birthday to her!!! did i hope it’d get those last few kudos and 600 by now? i mean, yeah. did i know it was unlikely? of course. still, though, i love this fic and loved writing it and can’t believe how easy it was. such a joy, truly, the entire time. archiveofourown.org/works/50393458

my mom’s at a party tonight at a place called memaw’s, in case you still had any questions about why i am the way i am.

Just read the newest chapter of The Jamestown Ferry. Beautiful art that hurt my feelings in the BEST way, and such a beautiful (if not nerve-wracking) conversation between them. 🥺🥺 Thnks, @sweetpotato70.bsky.social and @unfunpleasures.bsky.social for the delicious food!

tbh i wish my own wip was completed just so i could read it.

got a pair of high-rise pleather flares for $10 and can’t wait to make that everyone’s problem.

tragic: i ordered an iced lavender oat latte and was served plain

there’s something so special about driving through about 20 miles of nothing but orchards, vineyards, churches, and taco trucks in ed teach closet cosplay to go to a small-town cosplay event put on by the friends of the library.

okay but what if they are the sweetest and most in love that anyone’s ever been #ofmd

weekend bump!

Kaleb Horton’s piece on the Chowchilla bus kidnapping was one of the best stories in recent years and what a goddamn shame there won’t be more like that. RIP.

after finishing the (fantastic!!!) second part of the davey havok hardlore interview, i decided to revisit crash love for the first time in years and man, this song is so good and has such sing the sorrow vibes. underrated. forgive the afi-posting lately, but it will happen again.

me (after having explicitly talked to people about hanging out in portland): what if no one wants to hang out with me in portland???
