I am extremely grateful to have a roof over my head but a few weeks ago half of my apartment flooded in a storm and this week I have had mice shewing through my kitchen and last night they got into my bedroom and I would like to live somewhere else actually.

Everything is terrible but Stede can still give Ed forehead kisses and I just think that’s neat (I feel like I leveled up in a bunch of ways with this one!!)
Digital painting of Ed and Stede from ofmd. They’re on a green couch and Ed’s head is in Stede’s lap. Stede is leaning down to kiss Ed’s forehead. Ed’s eyes are closed and he’s smiling. He has the big beard and is wearing a lavender cozy sweater. Stede is wearing a blue sweatshirt and chinos

"Fuck, shows what I know," Ed says with a self-deprecating sort of grin. "I kind of just assumed wool is wool." "Not at all! Here, feel this." @thiefofcamorr.bsky.social comm'd @robertaseaport.bsky.social's wonderful Seaglass boys! B's "b" stands for "beautiful brain". #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath 🧡 🧶
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death in modern clothing and standing in front of a heavily stocked yarn wall. Ed is wearing a leather jacket and pants and a black tee shirt that's just short enough to show a little belly. Stede is wearing a plush light blue sweater and holding his arm out to Ed so that Ed can feel it. Ed's hand is on Stede's extended forearm. They're both holding mugs with cartoon yarn images on them. Behind Ed is a displayed sweater on a dress form. They're both smiling at each other and being totally gross about it in front of the yarn.

Discovering a hill that I will die on at 2am is not a great way to try and fall asleep. Discovering that that hill is the benefits of fluoride in toothpaste... At least it's on brand. Yes I will fight you, I have the peer reviewed evidence.

Who decided to put a 2 day workshop on the weekend after a 5 day conference. And who decided to hold that conference in a place where there's effectively no internet? I have had to hotspot my laptop to my phone all week and everything loads at 2003 speeds. At a university. In the city.

Well I moved here 2 years ago and I'm still not sure how I did it. It doesn't feel like home. I'm still struggling to cook and clean. I'm struggling with work. I've made some local friends. I've got a beautiful community here, and at dance. On on, I guess.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

for pride month this year can straight people focus less on "love is love" and more on "queer and trans people are in danger"

Both the shower and toilet are taking ages to drain and I should get my landlords to call a plumber but my house is so messy and dirty that it's going to be overwhelming to clean up enough to let someone in and I feel very trapped.

Yeah it's a shame that one of the better political systems on the planet still don't prioritise common decency and caring about human beings as the bare minimum in their candidates. Wish I could give you a big hug.

I hate that they have fallen that far but after all the terrible things that came out of the plebischite I am not surprised. Why why why do people in power think it's okay to punch down at our most vulnerable, unproblematic population? I'm so sorry 🫂

Like, I can deal with a lot on my own, but when I have a migraine so bad I can't keep a sip of water down, let alone pain medication, for over 15 hours, it's time to consider I might actually be sick enough to call to backup.

Yikes being so unwell so far from home in a place you don't really know the medical system is the worst. Thankfully a call to my mum fixed everything because she remembered I might have one single emergency anti nausea tablet in my travel kit and I did and now I don't have to go to urgent care.

Oh good they delivered it upstairs and did not let me know so my landlords had to message me when they got home that they had to move the bags to get into the house. I left explicit instructions with how to get to my door.
