So on twt I made a thread last year that was (almost) all the native wildflowers (with a few mistakes) I saw in Kansas. I’m making a 2025 thread over there with only new-to-me discoveries, but I decided for Bsky I’m going to share with you all just the native wildflowers I’ve photographed this year🧵
Morning boost or whatever. The November update to my silly little dating pact fic is up. Read it or don’t!

Almost two years since it was canceled and OFMD is still getting mentioned with beautiful writeups in articles about max's best shows. About best shows in general. It's still popping up in popular categories on fuckin max's main page. I want to scream. One more season. Just one more goddamn season.

Hi, everyone. I'm still waiting for my vocational rehab counselor to get in touch and I'm very much in need of #MutualAid for bills and groceries. Even a little bit helps a lot. 💜 Please share! #HelpSky

I think asexual relationships would count as an underrated trope/ship so I’m also adding a few of my (oof, many) ace4ace gentlebeard fics that are particularly fluffy!

Happy Friday, fluffy crew! It's our final day of Niche week and #OFMDfluffvember 2025! 🥲🥲🥲 Today's last prompt is: Underrated Trope/Ship! We love appreciating the underappreciated, so share those works, WIPs, headcanons, and ideas! 💖

Using a veryyyyy loose definition of crossover (and loose-ish definition of fluff), I made a gentlebeard meet-cute fic (and then a pretty fluffy first date sequel, with more eventually planned) based on the I Love Lucy episode “L.A. At Last!” (Iykyk)

The Pro to Gone With the Wind: Wichita-born Hattie McDaniel becomes the first Black American to win an Oscar
The cons: everything else

Margaret Mitchell was a racist little bitch too

Sitting at my gate and a guy who just flew in walks past and goes “O-H” and receives several weak “I-O”s in response and he’s like “yeah man let’s get it”
Gotta love it I guess

If the Cars universe is populated entirely by sentient vehicles, are the vehicles themselves alive, or are they like hermit crabs and are just shells for softer organic creatures inside?

No lie, I’ve known my career path since I was in 3rd grade, like 9 years old. I grew up seeing a lot of people in that career and figured out very early on that’s what I wanted to do. And I’m so lucky to have been in this field for several years now.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Trump says that it’s fine to call him a fascist. But Holden Williams-Park, a Mamdani voter who runs an artisanal grilled cheese shop in Green Point, says that he finds such language divisive.
