The writer, not the city. She/her. Queer. Cats. ADHD treatment is giving me my writing mojo back.

Posted the first Five Things fic. I won’t say I invented it, because it evolved organically, but I kind of sparked the idea? It was cool seeing it take off.
Meanwhile, I keep telling myself I am not superstitious but it’s the year of the snake coming up and that’s my birth year and I am low key spooked about it. I cannot afford to have a bad year! I’m poor enough already!

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

All right I deleted my Twitter, f that guy.

I have been mostly on discord lately but I am going to be more active here, ADHD allowing.

"If nothing we do matters, then the only thing that matters is what we do. … Because, if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world."

fuck Joss Whedon but he was right when he wrote those words
Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

Watching a Gilded Age doc that properly focuses on labor history and 1) I think I have a new hero 2) I hope Jon Hamm plays William Jennings Bryan in the Gilded Age tv show. I think he would crush it. youtu.be/yjpYzFtxfjU?...

I'm so irritated that zombies have bones.

Consider the three main types of undead: zombie, skeleton, ghost.

Consider the living man: flesh, bone, spirit

Neat. Simple. Easy. One death, one of each.

Except. The greedy fucking zombie has to also have the bones. Absolute nonsense. Ruins the maths.

Oh and I am following people piecemeal with no system. It doesn’t mean anything if I haven’t followed you yet, friend. It just means the roomba that is my brain hasn’t hit that corner yet.

So I think I will start with pics of my cool ass folding cane. The bones are reflective, made for bicycles. 😄
