I had a job offer in the UK that was rescinded during the initial hiring freeze (which we are still in btw). I am supposed to be moving next weekend for my new job. My house is packed, my POD arrives tomorrow. I won't ge going anywhere while the government is shut down. Fuck the government.

I had to unexpectedly put my dog to sleep today. I just returned from the vet and I think I'm in shock. I woke up and it was a normal day and now my dog is gone.

Can I talk about some work stuff real quick? I have no one to talk to about this because it's really bitchy and I try not to unleash that side of me to the masses. I found out Friday that my current organization is being absorbed by the org I am transferring to next month and because of this...

can any artists tell me how to get procreate images from one iPad to another? My daughter got a new iPad but wants all her drawings from the old one.

No one is talking about Interwoven by Myinfinite_Love and it is nearly criminal. It is one of my favorite WIPs right now. The story and writing are phenomenal. Seriously, everyone should be reading this. archiveofourown.org/works/596342...

Can I just complain about life real quick? I bought two bras that are super comfortable and make my tits look fantastic, but MY NIPPLES ARE ALWAYS VISIBLE. I'll be in meetings or walking in the halls and I just know they're there.

Does anyone have a link to the Wizarding World WIPs discord server?

It's like the universe knew the end was coming and compelled me to reread. The ending of a WIP you've been following for 2 years is a certified life event.

A Good Prisoner getting better each time I reread it. I can't wait for the final chapter and then to be horribly sad it's over.

Do we think The Fallout Dramione were able to make it work after the war? I kind of think the only way they would be able to stay together would be if they both got tons of therapy and I just don't know if Draco would do that.

I'm sitting at my house while plumbers dig up the sub floor in my bathroom to find a leak. This is probably going to cost me over 10 grand to get my bathroom back in order. Should I reread A Good Prisoner while I sit here to make myself feel better?

according to social media, I've been a part of fandom 3 years today!

I am getting my house ready to sell and decided to do some household repairs my self. I went to Lowes and bought tools and even used a dremel to cut some things. I actually feel super accomplished and am this close to buying myself a tool belt.

I didn't so much lose my car as it got towed for being parked in a reserved spot.

No pressure on the author, but just knowing it's the weekend and there is the potential for a Wreck A Malfoy update has me giddy.

I was offered a job today! It is not my dream location in London, but it is a promotion, within an hour of my family, and gets me the heck out of Florida!

Anyone else reading Wreck A Malfoy by Ramelle_Kammae? Amy anxiety over the ending of that last update is through the roof. Why can't Draco just be totally perfect?

I got a new phone and can't access my Instagram because I can't remember my password from like 10 years ago and it's attached to an email and phone number I no longer have.

My phone is 4 years old, so I want to get a new one. The only thing holding me back is the thought of losing all my TBR tabs.

part of my job means I get to be in charge of the giant scissors ✂️✂️✂️✂️

to complain even more, my stomach has been in knots for days about my ex leaving that I haven't ate more than like 5 pieces of my sons popcorn chicken since Monday morning, which means I am not taking my bi-polar meds with the necessary amount of calories. So it's like a perfect storm for a menty-b.

I just got back from dropping my ex-husband off at the airport. After talking about it for months, he finally moved back to Japan today. I don't know what I am feeling. We divorced for a reason, but he was still probably my best friend and the only family I had where I am besides my two kids.

Why do Viking AUs hit so hard? Is it because we all not so secretly want some feral warrior to steal us from our village and promise to make us a Queen?

If you haven't started following along with this story yet, I promise you are missing out. The humor is brilliant yet subtle. As someone who normally hates Ron, I kind of love him here, or at least how dumb he is. And Draco is just perfect. No angst, pure fun. archiveofourown.org/works/598798...

well. I've calmed down since my early twenties.

everyone read this very cute, very funny Dramione. archiveofourown.org/works/64419169

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.” -Kurt Vonnegut

The offer for my dream job in London was officially pulled yesterday due to the hiring freeze. Due to restructuring, they do not believe the position will actually exist when it's all said and done. To say I am sad is an understatement. My ex husband moves to Japan this month and there is no longer

3 of my favorite WIPs concluded this week, and I am a little bereft. Little Taste of Heaven archiveofourown.org/works/577251... The Internship archiveofourown.org/works/588275... Kiss Me archiveofourown.org/works/602529...

Little Taste of Heaven completed today. I must insist everyone go read it, especially if you are like me and enjoy angst and suffering before the HEA. I say this in the best way, but this story had me in tears so many times. archiveofourown.org/works/577251...

does anyone else get real suspicious when they open a new bottle of medication and it's a different shape?

Heavenly Father by Bon Iver is so war AU - Death Eater Draco Draco - secret relationship coded.

Ahhh I just finished rereading These Selfish Vows, and that ending always gets me.

eeeeeek Ramelle_Kammae has started a new story! Immediately subscribe.

I'm probably getting sucked up by a tornado tonight, and like I honestly, that tracks. Maybe I'll live stream from under the mattress in my closet and get famous.

can someone recommend a sad DHr story? I am so stressed right now, and I really just need to have a good cry.

Does anyone else get emotional listening to Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners?

archiveofourown.org/works/565286... I recommend this feel good story if you are looking for a nice easy read. It just gave me peaceful feelings.

I don't know if anyone is following the same WIPs as me, but all these Sunday night updates have been chef's kiss.

Hey! If you didn't know, dirtymudblood is writing again! She is regularly updating a story from 2021 and it is giving me life. archiveofourown.org/works/296098...

this is now my third Dramione mug and I am not sure how that has happened.

Someone found the story! This person right here? Absolute angel!

HELP!

I'm home with a sick kid today so now I have to decide if I want to do my taxes or finish writing chapter 3 of Boris.

Thanks to Elon Musk and the hiring freeze, my dream of moving to London is paused/delayed/crushed/who knows? But at least my @omniluciestumbra.bsky.social stickers came in. 😆😆😅🤣😭😭😭

Fun fact: I wrote a fic with a minor side plot where Theo had a pet tiger and unleashed it onto his estate after it ate one of Draco's peacocks. The lore behind it is that Theo messed with a time tuner and went into the future and discovered TIger King. I have about 10,000 words written on it.

I wish I had my old one to see if my tastes have changed.

Is there a more universal experience in this world than a group singalong to Wonderwall?

It's weird, I've actually been disappointed every time I've gotten an AO3 email update. I get the email notification on my phone and get excited it's a job offer, and then I'll feel let down when it's a story I love instead.

I feel like this is the only place safe for me to talk about this... I just took this directly from Musk's Twitter. There are over 2 million civilians in the federal workforce. What do they plan to do with that amount of email traffic? I am not checking email this weekend on principle.
