Update: "might" is hereby amended to "definitely did". I don't even want to talk about how much soaked, moldy, dye-sharing silk and wool I had to say goodbye to. I went through all five stages of grief this evening.

Discovered a mold issue and might have to sacrifice a not-insignificant portion of my fabric stash, please pray for me

Can I really call myself a writer if I just blatantly stole a phrase from my favourite Russian fairytale translation and put it in Taehyung's mouth🫠

Bumping for the morning crowd. Final length will be around 50k, which I know is not exactly a walk in the park. My current betas are doing the Lord's work but they've both been inside my head for this whole process and I need someone I haven't been worldbuilding at to see if things hang together 🙏

Writer friends! I am looking for beta readers for my BTS Big Bang fic. Posting isn't until next year, but fic drafts are due in full in October. I'll be looking at starting major edits in November or so, and it would be helpful to have a fresh set of eyes or two. If interested, let me know!

This is so stupid I am working hard on a fic that is very important to me but because brain knows the whole story it would rather build out the sequel than ACHIEVE FRIDAY'S DEADLINE 💀

Was gonna get my travel dinner at Tim's last night but they couldn't do hot food; went across to Wendy's and exchanged pleasantries in the bathroom with a polite girl having a manic episode and ordered my food from a trans girl who was on the till for the first time. Better use of my time/money 🤷‍♀️

Bestie rescued a butterfly on our walk this morning. She was too wet to lift both wings and the wings were a little ragged on the back edges, and we thought she might be too injured to recover. But she dried out just fine and it seems like she's gonna make it after all!
A large black and yellow butterfly sitting on a human hand. The butterfly is wet and one wing looks stuck down by the water. A large black and yellow butterfly, held vertical but perched on the same hand. It is dry and both wings are functional.

Unsure where it came from but I was raised with the principle that until you can manage the natural trials of your life, you have no business taking on extra burdens. Hair shirts and self-flagellation are for people who are no longer spiritually challenged by the performance of their own duties.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

After falling through the ice of a pond beside a water treatment facility while skating (to build up endurance for hockey try-outs), Jo recovered from hypothermia remarkably quickly. Now Jo does everything quickly—healing, punching, running, skating—as a new speedster, Deke. #CanuckSuperhero

Why have I never heard of a woman named Justice or Fortitude? If you're gonna name your daughters after virtues, why leave those out? Even today you can find women named Faith, Hope, Charity, Prudence and Temperance; are the others considered too manly for some reason b/c if so that's bullshit 😤

Tbh this started because I suddenly remembered I had unspun merino hanging around that exactly matched my hair. Never mind that I have sewing I need to be doing, it's been all spinning all the time for weeks now. It's too hot for wool! Why am I like this!
A rolled batt of blue merino wool next to a braid of blue hair. The hue and variegation of both are nearly identical.
