Sharing again bc I'm proud of it! Check out my OFMD AU set in Minneapolis, starting with an Ed/Izzy fic in the 80s, an Ed/Stede SMAU set now, and ending currently with a Steddyhands get-together fic (there is also a WIP where they figure their shit out).

I'm so underwater at work I have to go in today but my body is screaming no at me and also my brain. I was not prepared for the tunnel of despair that is finishing a book manuscript for good. It is a singularly lonely feeling

This breakdown is interesting. The fact that Green Lake and Lake City are the same district blows my mind each time I think about it. Also Harrell campaigned HARD in Lake City especially after our FM closed
If you were wondering about Seattle mayor results by district...

Sculptural/collage-y soaps really fascinate me. I chopped up this orange/pink/green batch I did and added some additional shapes I molded and piped yesterday. I wanted to have them sticking out of the soap but then I realized I would not enjoy using a poky soap

I am working with an autistic student who I am having so many disability conflicts (in this sense, his stuff clashing with my own) and it's very eye opening. I have not thought critically about how some of the aspects of autism do not mesh well with some of the commonplaces of FYW

Up late thinking about the history of English departments, which made me angry, so then I started thinking about the history of women's studies, which made me angrier

A thing a lot of people don't remember about canon Ed/Stede is they don't have a meet cute. Ed has Stede followed around for a long ass time (by Izzy) and then dramatically reveals himself to Stede

Izzy is washing Ed's hair, giving him a nice head massage, and Stede is watching. He wants Izzy to wash his hair but he doesn't know how to ask. Well. Besides blurting out the question, which he will do in approximately five minutes

One of the things that never made sense to me with TLOU lore is Ellie's immunity requiring killing her; in the show we see her mother get bit shortly before she is born, but then her mother doesn't nurse her. Idk just have some weird headcanons about it

Fun collage tip: you can make a transculent sticker from most printed paper by putting clear packing tape on the front, soaking it in water, and then gently rubbing off the back

This article is about much more than Gaines's rhetoric -- it's about her choice to profit off of being a "firebrand" at the expense of her teammates rather than actually doing anything about supporting women in sports or speaking out against actual sexual assault and harassment

I'm really mad bc I'm too crazy and under too much pressure to just go off my meds. It always has a ripple effect and ruins me for weeks. I did everything right and my NP fucked it up *twice*
