I don't want to make light of a very serious situation, but if you start a statement with "I am a _BLANK_ and I'm here to say...", the next words out of your mouth really ought to create a rhyming couplet
"Chuck Schumer should go ... he's no longer capable of leading the Democratic Party."
"I am an establishment Democrat and I'm here to say that Bernie Sanders is much more in line with where I and many other Democrats are today than Chuck Schumer is."

If you're craving a quick hit of pure fluff, @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and @happydaiz.bsky.social did a great job putting together this 16-minute podfic of one of my Reno oneshots; an established-relationship vignette of sappy domestic Gentlebeard doing their sappy domestic thing in the early 1970s
The next installment of the #OFMD podfic of @rottensoldier.bsky.social “from Reno with Love” is ready for your ears! 1972, a double feature (two chapters!) misic by @happydaiz.bsky.social

The Swede's name is Jim. When he joined the crew. he was told they already had a Jim, and he would have to pick something else. While he was trying to decide, Frenchie offhandedly called him "The Swede" and it stuck.
A challenge: Pick an OFMD character who isn't Ed, Stede, or Iz. Write a headcanon for that character. Challenge mode: Pick a character who isn't those three or CJ, Jim, or Lucius. Share a ship that doesn't include that list. Extreme mode: Pick a background character. What are they gossiping about?

Another year, another urge to publish the Reno Cure Whumptober Special, a series of vignettes illustrating when and how each character in The Reno Cure dies.
It's aliiiive! Check out the daily prompt sets below for OFMD Whumptober! ⬇️❤️🔥

I remain blown away by all the hard work and creativity that @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and @happydaiz.bsky.social have poured into the podfic of The Reno Cure... listening to it has been such a lovely experience. And the OG fic just crossed over 10k hits on ao3!

The Take Me scene between Ed and Stede in Ed's radio booth is probably the best thing I've written, and the way it turned out in the podfic is genuinely beautiful. I love it. Check it out.
Chapter 4 of the #OFMDpodfic of “The Reno Cure” by @rottensoldier.bsky.social has some of the best mutual pining ever!!! And it is greatly enhanced by the masterful work of @happydaiz.bsky.social listen here: on.soundcloud.com/ZS19so7tS8j3...

One of the through-lines I'm proudest of in my extended Reno Cure universe is how Stede chronologically blossoms into a huge bitch.
sometimes i wonder if we as a fandom write stede too bitchy, but then i remember rhys’ performance in this episode and i’m struck with the realization that perhaps we do not write him bitchy enough.
in hindsight i probably could’ve guessed 💅

BOYS GO TO JUPITER: Endlessly clever, funny, imaginative, with the best soundtrack of the year. In its Sims-esque CG animation, evokes a vivid sense of languor, of waiting around for anything to happen, as the gig economy looms over Florida’s suburban sprawl and life drifts by, warm and sweet.

Even if trains weren’t objectively better than air travel, I would still want more trains built just to drive the airlines out of business
every time I book flights it becomes more and more apparent that the entire airline industry is trending toward RyanAir and I cannot overstate how much I hate it

Ed/Stede, 8 chapters (probably), rated E for eventual smut

Someone should write about how fucked up it is that there's so much more public fretting over indie romance books and amateur fanfic than the enormous amount of wildly popular cop/military propaganda that the government actually has a hand in shaping
