Guys this is criminally under read right now. It needs more love. Rock bottom Rock Star Eddie and Dead End Depressed Steve find the love they walked away from 5 years ago. Actually so fucking good.

This makes sense. The mother's day display at Barnes and Noble two? Years ago included a branded pickle ball racket cover... because when I go to Barnes and Noble to get my mom a gift I'm expecting to get her sports equipment. (Unsurprisingly it is still for sale on the website)

When the stim song can't quite beat out Djo for most listened song even though I had it on repeat for a few hours. I think you can see which tracks are my favorites because I generally listen to the whole thing front to back on repeat while working on stuff (hence LiaSoM being so high)

Yeah. Google sheets, (although I may move it somewhere else if I find a better alternative) but yes.

Spent today just absolutely binging this alternate meeting 90s Steddie series. For those who like a messy disaster gay Eddie and earnest baby gay Steve. Perfect for those who love a messy romance.
Link is for the whole series, photo for the first fic.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest being one of my favorite books, it's no surprise I absolutely loved this fic. TBI + Autistic Steve and Suicidal Addict Eddie healing together and supporting each other without FIXING IT with their love. Would definitely binge again.

Someone shared this fic yesterday and despite scrolling my following page for freaking ever I can't find the original skeet. Whoever you are, I am smoothing you all over your face.
It has been ages since I've read a BDSM fic with this much yearning that had me making this face the time.

Last day of the month check!
Most of my reading this month were microfics (Corroded Coffin Fest mostly) so it is a lower word count than I sometimes achieve... but the last few days I've been wandering through Atalia_Gold's blacklist and enjoying the hell out of myself.

Is it AI or a connective tissue disorder?
I was taking this photo to complain about the freaking mile-wide margins on this book. But I can't stop laughing at how absolutely fucked my fingers look.

Getting a migraine from the lights (I wore earplugs, so, in theory, it isn't from the noise) but still had a great time seeing Ghost tonight.
Enjoy this photo of our faces as we were waiting to get in. (Definitely the only people there in masks but I don't want rona for the 4th time, thanks)

I've added a task tracking widget to the home screen of my phone. Let's see how long it takes for my ADHD to start ignoring it as visual noise.
I went easy on myself and only put my daily goal as 1 task. (Today says 8 but it was just me checking off things I did months ago... 😬)

I did some art for the first time in a while...
A friend asked for it.
I'm at the phase where the sketch looks good and I'm terrified to ruin it with paint.

The inevitable sobbing for an hour at the state of the world and feeling of hopelessness toward any sort of stable future for myself happened. The day before my birthday? More likely than you'd think.
Anyway, look at my cool new book!

Softgoods Check Point. Tis the last day of pride month, booooo. Luckily for me, the gays cannot be constrained by temporal restraints and I'll be reading queer fic and books year-round. Also, this number is missing several rereads (did a little tour of the soulmate tag this month) but stands.

Remember when I made a spreadsheet of all my open Steddie Tabs?
I have been slowly making my way through them this week. So, that worked at least a little. Still have a way to go but progress!
(Columns to the right are the words read and date finished so you can kinda see where I'm at)

YT Music does quarterly recaps and mine said, "Hey four of the artists you love released new albums this quarter, and also you listen to a lot of The Who for some reason (the reason is The Who is a vibe)." Been listening to the whole Skeleta album on repeat (I will be seeing them in July :3)

-slides one of these across the table- Be gay and don't get pantsed. Also, they are super fun to fidget with and great for people like Steve who can learn cool yo-yo-esque twirling tricks. Can you see the vision? Just him twirling and then auto-retracting the badge with a wink?
