I've been cross stitching for about six years. I've taken at least two long breaks and each time I restart, I find I've leveled up pretty significantly.
I just started a bookmark and I haven't had to take apart and start over *at all*. That's never happened before.
Eat a dick, dyscalculia!!
never gonna shut up about how Queen Elizabeth died like 6 months before they said so. you know they have body doubles for these people. we’ve all seen “Dave.” they just had to limp her over the finish line to 70 years to get her jubilee and make her the longest reigning monarch
I have a friend at work who has a hair more English than I have Spanish, and we have the best time chatting and cracking each other up. I'm so glad you had such an amazing time, it really is the best!

I finally bought the 20lb dumbbells and they're...fine. Not easy, but not nearly as hard as I hoped they'd be.
That's one kind of exciting and fun, but also this is going to get even more expensive, soon.
Aging is something fucking else.
The fuck you mean, I may have a stress fracture from a delightful half mile walk yesterday?
I was scanning and scanning to figure out why it was called that--they literally banging on actual trash cans?? Y'all-- 🤣
...I assume they weren't actually having sex, so what's banging scheme mean in this context? 😅
This is one of the main reasons I scoff at ppl when they say, "you have to love yourself before ppl can love you." While I appreciate what they are trying to say, please think about how that sounds to someone in a major depressive episode.
Also I learned a new plant today that I can't stop laughing about.
Meet little brown jugs, y'all.
I also spotted 20 plants/fungi using the Seek app, which is the best time ever
Hello, hornbeam, I like you a lot!
A barred owl sitting on a branch in green woods. Its eyes look pure black
We went to the woods, and I spotted this guy like 30 ft from the parking lot.
This is by far the best I've ever seen a wild owl, I couldn't believe it. We got to not-hear it fly away too! 🪶
"wind pollinated pendulous catkins", name of my sex tape
This. I miss wrestling, but I just don't have the emotional energy to spare to prop up something as blatantly bad as that company.
To be fair, compared to most other wrestlers...
Ooh and The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, which is decadent and indulgent in a healing way.
Cat Sebastian has loads more, some of which are technically cozy but in a way that is realistic and not saccharine.
It's sapphic but Even Though I Knew the End by CL Polk is an exquisite novella.
Jay Moriarty Violates the Official Secrets Act by Kit Walker, first in a series
Slippery Creatures, also All of Us Murderers by KJ Charles, also pretty much all of hers
Swordcrossed by Freya Marske
Second Chances in New Port Stephen by TJ Alexander
Hither, Page by Cat Sebastian
Oh right, that coffee toffee ice cream had coffee in it 😲
I just switched meds and this made me realize I didn't almost fall asleep this afternoon
I was just imagining Melville reading this part of the Talmud!
Okay, I know the fandom is aging old because the four random people at this Magic: the Gathering table all just started comparing our CPAPS.
Sorry y'all, my local team is in the NHL playoffs lol. I haven't watched hockey since the Olympics, but if we can make that little maga baby cry, that's a good time
Jesus FUCK BRADY TKACHUK FOREVER 🙄
Also, are people really out here cleaning baseboards? That seems wild to me.
This week I have done more spring cleaning than maybe ever in my life. I just swept *thoroughly* and put down a new litter box pad which will hopefully make that easier to stay on top of.
We're still nowhere close to a neurotypical couple, but it's better!
Marjory is my spiritual grandma.
Am I glad he's starting shit for peace? Of course!
Should he also be publicly on his knees begging every SA victim for forgiveness and making sure they never have to work a day in their lives?
BIGGEST POSSIBLE YES
And tbh, the latter should imo be a higher priority for him. Highest, even.
I have a queer academic fantasy novel inspired by the Ancient Romans launching on Kickstarter in a couple weeks, and I've been over on tumblr explaining some Relevant Fun Trivia, check it out! www.tumblr.com/ariaste/8142... 📚🪐💙 #queerbooks #indiebooks
