Did you know?

In the Victorian era, Britain considered soft toilet paper an outrageous luxury and viewed Americans as shockingly extravagant for using it.

British households relied on newspapers and old letters rather than pay for something as “frivolous” as soft paper.

"The Adventure of the Dying Detective" in miniature. Claimed by someone on Tumblr. Shame on Holmes for terrorizing Watson and Mrs. Hudson, but I love this story. #SherlockHolmes #art #miniatures #booksky #victorian #dollhouse

Access to AO3 keeps cutting in and out.
Lost it, had access again, and lost it again.

Cloudflare is having issues. If you have access to AO3, recommend downloading fic you want to read while it is still up.

Who’s the 2025 Best Blackguard of the Sherlock Holmes Blackguard’s Halloween Banquet? ME, it turns out ‘cause I won the most games! I’m a scoundrel and don’t you forget it.

Had a lot of fun with a makeup demo and games like Pin the Wound on Watson. 🤣

I don't normally go for angst fic. Angst with a happy ending is the most I can handle. This is a really really good fic: archiveofourown.org/works/204648

Read it recently, had a good cry, and it helped. It's a wonderful fic.

Trektober 30 - The women of Star Trek fandom!

Star Trek has a long history of fandom (One of the first!) and women are such an integral part of it that I thought I would highlight some of them!

This is what the Democrats have been raising hell about.
Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Scumbags can just be scumbags. That is why it's important as a writer not to listen to what's being told, and write the scumbag, evil POS as it appears in all its shitty glory.
I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been
