Got fed up with subscription price hikes in the middle of cartoonish corporate evil and quit Spotify, but I'm not really feeling Tidal so far. What are y'all using?

a real part of my personal development is going from the kind of person who made "sportsball" jokes, to thinking that they're pretty cringe and mostly (at least in my case) reflected insecurity about not being in on the group activity

she would’ve loved ao3

Realising I haven't read any standout poetry collections this year; this is an open call for recs The last three collections which truly knocked me off my feet were: "Pilgrim Bell," by Kaven Akbar "You Better Be Lightning," by Andrea Gibson "The Book of Nightmares," by Galway Kinnell

80% of the way through the audiobook and I had to. Stop. For a minute. And sit down on the floor, dinner still frying on the stove Man. MAN

Y'all need to read this book

The Spear Cuts Through Water hands down the best book I've read this year and I'm not even halfway through

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to have a brain that doesn't start blasting Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)" full volume from 11pm to 3am every weeknight

Meditating on the extent to which antisocial behaviour can be balanced by commitment to the bit.

trying to write while in the slump after hyperfixation like i used to words but i forgor :(

Rewatching the Untamed with a friend (her first time); just got to episode 10 and thrilled to report that seeing the Yi City crew together still hits me like a sledgehammer to the stomach

I have made the mistake of making chitchat (once) with the bouncer who works next door to my flat so now we have to do a chat every time I come home. Introvert nightmare scenario

The desire for partnership versus the desire to have a bedroom all to yourself

Guess which bitch just got her citizenship approved

Watching baseball at a bar; went to the gym three times last week. Beginning to suspect I have some stain of new and previously undiscovered lime disease

The piquant savour of victory that comes when a man sits next to you on the train and starts overflowing his seat at you and you refuse to move, arm pressed against his encroaching arm, swaying into him with every rock of the train until he gets uncomfortable enough to move to another seat

I don't think I could ever leave the city. Where else am I gonna go to buy groceries at 1am and apologise for squeezing past a random woman and she compliments my earrings and then I end up buying her beer while she tells me her entire life story? Truly I will settle for no less from this life.

AAAAAAAAAAHHH

Every time I log on here to scream this account is already waiting on my TL, saying it all more eloquently than I could ever dream

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

1950s AU where Viktor is stored in a terrible jello recipe

*barreling into the tl* Did you know you can sharpen a kitchen knife on the underside of a mug???

This is the plot of Ancillary Justice (Seivarden Vendaai is the water bottle)

Please rank the following on a scale from "rad" to "you need help": Shower tea Shower coffee Shower beer Shower wine Shower hot toddy

Putting on my guillotine earrings, pirate skirt, and harlequin eyeliner to go run my Monday night errands. Yes I AM going to be the hottest goth in the grocery store even if I have to bathe this Tesco Express in blood to do it thank you ever so

Hmmmmmm, time for a MCtNA rewatch? 🤔🤔🤔

Nightmares? Pffft. Baby shit. Waking up from a soft and tender dream of how things used to be to find the world has become the nightmare? That's the real stuff

Have just received the worst haircut of my life, including when I was fifteen and got drunk and let some friends cut it from shoulder blade length to pixie, and it is now so short there's no way to fix it except shave it all off entirely, or wait for it to grow 😩😭

This is my favourite account that I follow. Never not a mood

Receiving 55 kudos in one night on a WIP that hasn't updated in almost 3 years like where tf did this get recced

Fuck yeah

On the power of language, via @arablit.bsky.social

Resisting the urge to look up John McClane/Hans Gruber slashfic at the Christmas Party

Been seven years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

2 more shifts until Christmas season is over and I am no longer constantly, relentlessly exhausted

LOOK AT THIS TIT

Here’s Lin Shu conflating oral sex with fealty tho archiveofourown.org/works/29117781

Counterpoint: if you have an ounce of power you should endeavor to live your life in such away that when you die the overwhelming response isn’t apathy/vitriol. “Don’t speak ill of the dead” is for your Aunt Denise, whose alcoholism destroyed her life. Not powerful elites who made others miserable.

i love when artists are extremely big only within a hyperspecific demographic, like how only people with an AO3 account know about Vienna Teng, or how LP sings at a frequency audible only to people who have eaten at least one pussy

Also give me a number between 1 and 100 I'll give you the corresponding song from my Spotify wrapped

WHAT a day, time for shower wine

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

I'm currently on 144 books read so far this year, and honestly do not expect to have such a book-heavy reading year again in my foreseeable future. I'm aiming for a round 160; with that goal in mind, please give me your best recommendations under... let's say 250 pages

#NirvanaInFire But. Jingyan knows that everyone in his life he considers an ally & on whom he’d rely when he becomes Emperor (except Zhanying, Shen Zhui & Cai Quan) will lie to him if they deem it necessary to ‘protect’ him. He now knows he can never quite fully trust them. That’s not fair to him.

The unparalleled joy of getting a gay little haircut and then jump scaring yourself in the mirror with it

thinking of how Vou'a appears as a very old man bc his mortal husband is a very old man and just. man, the romance of it, of being a god married to a mortal and choosing to age alongside him

Rereading Monstrous Regiment and if anything the gender of it hits even more profoundly than it did when I last read it. Sergeant Jack Jackrum character of all time

You had kept an obsessive count of all the hours it had been since you became Emperor. (Fourteen years, four months, four days, seventeen hours, and then the Fall.)
