I write OFMD fic. Mostly Ed/Stede and Jim/Oluwande, but not exclusively. All ratings, many genres. archiveofourown.org/collections/...
i've had my job for a year and a half. most of my teammates are 100% remote and i had not met any of them in person until today. today i got to have lunch with two of them at a diner in my neighborhood, and it was absolutely lovely.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Annoyingly, I JUST posted the WIP chapter with a solid 21 instances of "trail," and I don't think it's coming up again soon. So:

"Ed peers over the edge of the trail, watching as the pebble gives in to gravity, sending up a puff of dust in its wake."

For #WIPWednesday, please have ~250 words from the nearly 10k(!!) ch3 of my collab with @petrichorca.bsky.social and @sonorawent.bsky.social. We had to do, like, a BUNCH of irl research for this, so.

for the evening crowd, a fresh chapter -- ed goes on a hike and thinks some thoughts.
TOOK ME LONG ENOUGH (to work through my own rules enough to be able to post chapter 2)

in which ed continues to be all ??? about stede and we learn more about ed.
