I have finally finished the Orgasms Papyrus, inspired by a real ancient Egyptian one! Here's a video; the music track is called "The Pharaoh is Coming" (thought it appropriate). If printed, the papyrus would be 14 feet long. More info to follow. #OFMD #OFMDnsfw

I was definitely disappointed. The Rudyard Kipling poem recording from the trailer was what got me interested but those were not the vibes of the movie. It’s a big deal if a zombie movie doesn’t scare me. I was scared watching Shaun of the Dead 😂 Or maybe I’m immune to horror now 🤔

Oh…it wasn’t actually scary 🫤

Oh yay another one! Stede is tending the pumpkin plant and very excited and hopeful about this pumpkin bud. #OFMDollsAutumn

Happy birthday! What a view to wake up to 😂

Dr. Briana Jackson 🏴‍☠️ @baladria.bsky.social · 12h

Gotta give yourself that space to enjoy being epically cringe and loud about your thing 😂

Dr. Briana Jackson 🏴‍☠️ @baladria.bsky.social · 14h

I didn’t experience the show with anyone 😢

But I am pretty sure I had no problems talking out loud to myself about it, and in ultra high pitched squeals.

Lastly, I have my garlic bulbs I’ll be planting soon for next year! I’ve got straw to put on top of them too. And I hope the blasted squirrels that keep killing my turnips won’t dig up the garlic!

The beets are having a glorious time (turnips and Swiss chard are not 😂) and the carrots are workin it! Two parsnips are doing well. The others are mere seedlings still 😞. Somehow these eggplants are still making my life hard…

Sadly 6 butternut squash buds and three pumpkin buds don’t make it. However, these last two squashes are growing and I’m holding out hope for this third pumpkin bud!

Garden update! Each day brings us closer to the end here in zone 5b. I’ve pulled up several plants already but many are still growing! Even though they’re being attacked by whiteflies 😡. This kale won’t quit! And neither will these marigolds! Strawberries are still going too!

Please Let Me Hold You readers! So sorry for the delay! Stress-induced writer's block has been unforgiving. Here's a BIG WIP I know you'll love because you have been DREAMING of this moment, and I want to treat you to a promise it will happen... #OFMD

Excerpt from an OFMD fic Please Let Me Hold You.

“There’s something I want to talk about,” Ed said, drawing his face into a serious expression.

Immediately tensing, Stede said, “All right.”

“It’s nothing bad!” Ed said quickly, noting Stede’s discomfort. “It’s about my streams. Here, let’s sit.” Guiding Stede by his arms, he drew him onto the couch where he sat facing him with his legs crossed. “Right, so. Fuck, how do I even say this? Look, it’s not that I’m trying to hide, I just want you know that off the bat.”

“Okay,” Stede responded tentatively, not entirely convinced he shouldn’t worry.

“Yeah. Okay. Uh. So my streams. As you know, the chat are pretty invested in us—”

“They are?”

While Stede sat blinking in surprise, Ed cocked an eyebrow and grinned as though Stede had said something truly perplexing. “You serious, mate? They’ve been nuts about us as a couple since you first showed up in the stream last spring!”

Stede was genuinely shocked to learn about it. “How could they possibly have guessed?”

Ed laughed wildly into his hands before raking his fingers down his face. “Oblivious. Utterly oblivious, I don’t believe it. They knew because they know me, I guess. I can’t exactly hide my emotions, and lots of them have been following me since the beginning. It was the way we talked with each other, the way we looked at each other in the Bob Ross stream where they saw you for the first time. The fucking PowerPoint presentation.”

“The PowerPoint? About why you deserved to carve the turkey?”

“Mate, really? It was basically a fucking love letter.”

Stede took a moment to think back on the presentation and when Ed shared it on his stream, the way the chat poured out their own adoration of it, when they pointed out that it was a show of love. Remembering that he had translated that as loving his friend, Stede burst into laughter. “I hadn’t thought they meant I was in love with you. But I suppose it can’t have really been interpreted any other way, could it?”

Excerpt from an OFMD fic Please Let Me Hold You. Text reads:

Ed shook his head almost imperceptibly. “It really couldn’t.”

“Christ, Ed,” Stede said apologetically, his face crumpling into an expression of guilt. “I really put you through it, didn’t I?”

“Doesn’t matter now, babe. But getting back to the viewers. They’re invested in us, and I’d like to announce us…eventually. Not yet, because I kinda just want to make sure about us. Just, you know, take it slow for the next few weeks. I’m sorry if that sounds bad—”

“It doesn’t,” Stede assured him.

Ed smiled. “Okay. Yeah. But…but maybe the first Friday in February? When we do the Stitch n’ Bitch on Twitch thing, only no crafts. I bring you on and we make the announcement. And maybe then do crafts, I dunno. But it’s up to you, if you want to announce it. I’ll understand if you don’t want to be part of it, because of the publicity and shit. And, yeah, uh. You might get people in your business on social media, so I kinda want to get ahead of that. Frenchie will handle all of that, I promise. And Izzy. He’s good at managing in general. I guess it’s a good thing you’re not really on social media, but also I just want you to know we’ll protect you and your family and—”

Stede pressed a finger to Ed’s lips to silence him, and then tenderly drew his finger across before cupping Ed’s cheeks in both his hands to calm him. “I trust you entirely. I know you will never put my family in danger. And I’m happy to join you in announcing us. I’d kind of love to scream it from the top of Bonnet Enterprises. I can do that. I own the building.”

“Fuck, we’re a power couple aren’t we?”

“You bet we are!”
