i looked at the weather forecast yesterday and briefly thought about moving my gym session from tonight and did not, and, long story short, i wish i'd listened to past me.

taking notes on everyone's responses to this for absolutely no reason

pronouns: she/her height: 5’8” zodiac: ♏️ / 🐖 smoke: no tattoos: 5 piercings: 8 fav colour: blue/purple fav drink: scotch, diet coke (not together) need to change a couple of those numbers…

i am now on my last package of blackcurrant sweets because it has been that kind of a week

i've been home from england for over a month and i'm only just cracking into my hoarded blackcurrant sweets, which is pretty darn good.

soooooo tiiiiiired send cute animal pics

nightmares: not helping my attempt to actually catch up on sleep

so many exciting books crowding my netgalley for review at the @lesbrary.bsky.social 👀

‘There’s only one bed’, ‘fake dating’ and ‘opposites attract’: how tropes took over romance

star trek and salad for dinner at 9pm. nutrition of champions!!

cbc gem broke right in the middle of ice dance 😭 (yes, i’m going into a meeting, but i was going to mute it!)

friends who like stories about men: what are big boyslash fandoms right now? besides, you know, the queer hockey show. even i know about that one.

ONE WHOLE DEGREE OUTSIDE the first time we've been above freezing in three weeks ! i'm so happy!

might be time to cut down on caffeine for work anxiety reasons (she says over a latte)

it’s so cold here that my hair stylist just asked if i wanted to skip buzzing my undercut for the warmth 🥶

every time i see a skater chain a jump combo together with a euler, i think they've fallen out of their first jump. it's just such an odd move to my eyes!

the temperature has dropped four degrees and the windchill has dropped TWENTY in the last five hours 🥶

i know i'm getting older because i watch some of the olympic events and i just think: landing those jumps puts HOW much pressure on their joints???

six women and one man in the gym tonight but guess who was making the place smell like sweaty rotten onions

honestly how do people remember the courses they took in undergrad. half the time i don't even remember the courses i taught to undergrads.

writing win of the week: my local café now gives me free coffee and cookies.

It’s time to tap into your internal lesbian anger! Even if you’re straight. Now is the time to fight for your 1st Amendment rights! Let’s go!

trying this prestige tv thing and it just seems to be a whole lot of mostly white dudes talking to each - WHOOPS a woman with a ponytail just walked by 👀

so stupid a day at work that i'm still too keyed up to sleep at 2.30am, which is going to be SO HELPFUL going into tomorrow

started writing something new, got 500 words in, and realised i probably need to do a bunch of reading in a new genre to write it properly. so glad i do this as a hobby.

underrated part of my recent vacation: watching @alwaystheocean.bsky.social discover and process in real time that ryans reynolds and gosling are two different people

love the YuriBus! Here are my thoughts on the importance of ... whatever they are serving us 🌈 #pluribus #stursia #carolsturka #zosia #thankyouvincegilligan

kate fleetwood’s cheekbones (that’s it, that’s the post)

delighted that I appear to have found the one semi-warm reading room in the british library (because boy, maps was not cutting it)

london snow! 🌨️

Every now and then I accept that I’ll never draw anything ever again. Then another queer 'hag show' turns up and I am, regrettably, quite inspired. #Pluribus #Fanart #CarolSturka #BurnoutOnHold

happy new year from londontown! may 2026 be good to us all.

minus side: fliiiight delaaaaayyyyy plus side: might get my overdue @lesbrary.bsky.social review written before takeoff

i try to leave more comments at yuletide but man, this feels like a low-comment year. i've left more than one first comment and the archive's been open for two days! go comment! (i would normally prompt guesses for my two fics, but not this year with the anon glitch, alas.)

i know i've curated my life properly because 90% of what i see about the gay canadian hockey show is on my professional feeds and not my personal ones

#Pluribus Thank u vince and crew..

what an excellent time to have a tv show ask whether a miserable depressed grieving bitch of a lesbian can find love and happiness again

baseboards cleaned: flat is now guest-appropriate. (HOW can i, as one human person, generate SO much dust.) time for flight delay bingo!

sure if i used ai i wouldn't need to spend twenty minutes researching the geologic formations of new mexico, but also then i'd never learn about weird shit like this! why would you ever give that up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Lun...

just had my fic brand described as 'the saddest porn I’ve ever read' and do you know what, i'm not mad about it

dear planet earth, iou one (1) ambulance xoxo, manousos (i love everything #pluribus chooses to be)

mentally i am hauling my empty carcass over the broken glass of the year's last two workdays physically i am also not so great

i want to go to the gym but today has been SO. LONG. that i'm actually not sure i can get off the couch.

i need AA batteries to finish the cleaning i wanted to do tonight but you know what, i refuse to be the woman going to the corner store at 10pm and just buying batteries. not tonight.

i love a grumpy lesbian. it's so nice to see myself represented on mainstream tv. #pluribus

i have long since quit sp*tify, but apple music informs me that three different versions of the ballad of the witches' road were in my top ten and frankly i don't think i need any more information

pulled a muscle washing my hair which really is just emblematic of today.

after FIVE! YEARS! of a makeshift kitchen table setup i finally just bought a fucking laptop stand because i'm a goddamned adult and i feel SO much better about it

yuletide assignment AND yuletide treat written before december, i am a golden god, etc etc

wicked was the last film i watched with my mother and i can't decide if i feel worse not watching the new one than i would if i watched it. (and it's not like i didn't see this coming at the time, but, what? i was gonna tell her no?)
