Just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who contributed so far. You helped make rent possible for us last month and we can't thank you enough!
We're still shy of our goal and rent is around the corner again. If you're able and would like to help, it would be wholeheartedly appreciated. 💖

As we begin to leave my favourite season behind us, I am thinking of all the beautiful tones of autumn that we saw this year.

I forgot what it's like when you start a new job and you're having to constantly reach out to people for help/guidance and I feel like I'm being so very annoying 🫠

ch18 s1 is done. two more scenes to write...at some point (time to get up for day job now).
then it's back to the drawing board to figure out what the hell comes next.

I went to MCM London maybe...6, 7 years ago? and got chatting to a Trekkie who denigrated me to my face when I said I liked DS9, lmao
as shown in this thread, there have always been and will always be fans who are Like That

Today I was looking at it for the first time in a while and came across one that REALLY resonated. Now DS9 is widely praised and used to attack all the new shows. People say the new shows aren't "what Trek is all about."
Let's see what people thought of that in the 90s...

on a more positive note, I saw a buzzard on my way to the fair! it was eating its kill by the roadside as I drove past. so cool 🤩
just went to a craft fair, saw a stall selling really nice handmade metal bookmarks. was in the process of talking myself into buying one.
then saw that the pages each bookmark were displayed on were taken from Harry Potter.
I don't think I've ever walked away from a stall so fast 🙃

A tiny bit of shameless self-promotion because the gifting season is creeping up on us. If you’re after something delicious, handcrafted, and ethical, my chocolate boxes, bars, and treats make really lovely gifts. Treat yourself, treat someone else, or both, I won’t judge! Reshares appreciated! 🍫✨
