Just wanna hang with my pals by the dandelions and clover. Og painting available: nimasprout.shop/products/con...

I’ve become that person who finishes their conference presentation after getting on a plane. It wasn’t my fault! My cats needed snuggles more than an accompanying research site needed building!

Some tears with my morning coffee 😢

Ahhhhhh! It’s here!!

The trials and tribulations of having one boob that’s slightly bigger than the other, amirite friends?

It worked last time, so please send the good vibes my way since I present something tech-related to an entire department today, and I have an hour to figure out what I’m talking about 😅

Finally my time to plug the weird and wonderful world of alchemy. Try out Atalanta Fugiens by Meier, a 1617 treatise in the form of a musical fugue 😍 I made my doctoral seminar colleagues sing it lol digital.sciencehistory.org/works/pc289j...

I’ve said before, I hate telling people what to do, but it baffles me there’s people here that still use it. What is it about the Nazi paedophile site, with its propaganda algorithms and swarming with bots that keep people there? Just let it go. Your life will be better for it.

Share a TV show that raised you

So proud to announce my collaboration on "Pumpkin Spice" a cozy, magical TTRPG, published by #AcheronGames Check it out on BackerKit (link in bio) and discover all the amazing perks of backing! Pour yourself a cup of tea and enjoy the vibe!🪴🍵 #PumpkinSpiceRPG

Explain again, if still actually there, why you’re propping up the white supremacist place?

Oh my god, you ARE determined to make me cry at work!! 😭

SAY WHAT NOW???!! 😍🥳

Determined to make me weep today, I see

Chapter 1 of my haladriel academic AU is up! Thanks for all the support as I go wayyyy out of my Humanities comfort zone to STEM land 😂❤️ I heard her holler, I heard her moan Haladriel Professors AU E, 1/4, 4.5k archiveofourown.org/works/79997431

Nothing like discovering the abstract you were agonizing over and finally perfected was actually due three days ago… 😭

Damn, it would be nice if some of these fandom accounts from Twitter actually said who ran them…

But explain to me why we’ve got honey and yoga and fucking yo-yo’s(?!?) and no Rings of Power merch Somehow, I blame New Line I hate capitalism, but I want an Arondir Funko or whatever haladriel items I can use to become even more obsessed. I have layers, okay?

It went well! I was apparently coherent so all your good vibes worked 😊

One more sleep until Tea’s book birthday! Hopefully getting mine in the mail shortly after 😍

😭❤️ this moment!

Jane Baer has died at 91. A titan, she worked on 'Sleeping Beauty,' co-founded Baer Animation, supervised 'Roger Rabbit,' and advocated for her fellow artists. Few careers trace the evolution of late-20th-century American animation as completely. www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/jane-bae...

Giving a speech at a union event in solidarity with a different branch of the union. It’s only for 2-3 minutes but I have to stop dithering and settle on what to say. All the good vibes would be appreciated!

This gave me life. What a takedown.

Historians will mark this as the moment the “name terrible things after Tolkien” tide turned

I wish I lived my cats’ life where my biggest decisions were just deciding at what point to rotate between the couch and the armchair

I can either preorder Lego Sauron or get a cheap printer so I can print the truly ungodly smut-filled fics I want to bind. I can’t really get both and my inner fangirl is wailing. I mean, Joey at Office Max is great and all, but I’d rather he not catch a glimpse of this particular printout 😅

I can’t believe I might actually watch heated rivalry not because of my frothing carpool buddy who is obsessed with the romance, but because Cesare Borgia is in it?!? I needed tumblr to do its tumblr’ing, apparently, and I am here for any hint of François Arnaud

So excited for Tea, and book ordered through B&N! (I wanted to use my local indie, but it would have taken over a month to get it, alas.) V excited to see what a Tolkien obsessed solitary witch gets out of the experience of reading it 😍

1) I gigged for a long time with an Episcopal cathedral (best music besides the 16th c polyphony at a Catholic one in the early 2000s but without the opposition to women’s rights and gay people) and the main thing I took away was one of the kindest pastor’s phrases of “keeping the appointment”

Anyway, I’ve been painting mice 🐭

PSA: tumblr made me remember that fannish-next-of-kin exists on ao3!! If you’re like me and you worry about what will happen to your fics if/when you die, this should make you feel better archiveofourown.org/faq/fannish-...

The true tragedy of my personal time on this earth is being so sick during the point in my cycle when I typically write my best smut that not a single word was to be had. Damn you, smut demons. I need that sweet sweet hormonal assistance to be truly feral

Sometimes you write something and think huh good thing elves don’t need antibiotics, because [redacted] would give anyone the worst uti of all uti’s but yolo it’s hot and we love grime in this fandom 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beautiful 😍

Elvie barfed on my very first bookbind I’d kept for myself for sentimental purposes 😭 (No Matter How Many Skies Have Fallen by stitchingatthecircuitboard) and on the hardback case for @vuas.bsky.social’s book I was SO CLOSE to being done with My child. You test me.

So excited for this! And absolutely beautiful artwork by Sâmia to boot??

Yeah I’m into LOTR Life Of This Raccoon

Little medieval AU for the prompt Return. Happy Valentines Day everyone 💖

Doing that sweet sweet divorce paperwork on Valentines Day 😂🥰 Feels right.

Update that after getting Elvie’s extensive bloodwork and X-rays back, she is 1000% in the peak of catly health. Peace of mind is worth a lot but that was a little more than I had readily available funds-wise 😭

Seeing Cate Blanchett perform with the LA Phil backing her was absolutely earth-shattering for me. Each word and gesture was filled with so much meaning. And damn was it ever politically crafted for this moment If it turns up online to watch, do it!! (Egmont Overture by Jeremy O. Harris/Beethoven)

At the vet with Elevensies and when it rains it pours.

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

How's drafting book two going? There are so many limbs to keep track of.

Haven’t Tolkien-posted much lately, but my beloved @teawithtolkien.com has a book coming out on the 20th! It’s an earnest exploration of how to bring loving hobbit values into our daily lives, and we NEED more of that

Snip of what I’ve been working on in my free time :) do I know anything about Environmental Science and kelp deforestation? Not nearly enough. But I have hyperfixation research skills and want to put all that academic background to use for some pure haladriel purposes. (j/k it’s dirty as hell)

Glad I wrote this down because I went to check my Instagram today now that my fever broke and was like …wait a minute… At least now I know why I did it (more or less) 😂

I really do think this is an excellent metaphor for the moment.

The Star, a tarot commission ☺️
