Going to my first ever con (Galaxycon San Jose) with my first ever cosplay (won my division) and meeting Con & Kristian, and asking Nathan my burning question about the shoes when he gets thrown overboard, all in one fantastic weekend. #longliveofmd
I would love to hear your favourite memory associated with OFMD - whether it's just watching the show, reading a fic, seeing art, meeting pals, going to a con, making something, or just enjoying the fandom as a lurker, etc. I wanna know 🥰 #LongLiveOFMD

Up late doomscrolling last night about our unhinged president and his illegal actions against another country for oil. I have lived through this before and it makes me sick. Wouldn't it be great if Congress, you know, did something?

There was a time when I could quote the entirety of The Princess Bride from start to finish (usually an exercise on road trips) because I had watched it so often. To say that Rob Reiner had an impact is an understatement. Such a tragedy today has been.
