Not locking the door here just yet, but moving my furniture elsewhere! Hope to see you around, friends 💙

It's titled The Second Draft, and it's tender, funny, heart-wrenching, and all the superlatives you can imagine. Do not sleep on it. It's all the original fic was and far, far more. I'm biased, but it's brilliant.

Amazing news: my wife, the lovely @byrdwrites, has released her latest book. For those who remember us as Telanu and ellydash, the book started life as "anyone who has become," THE fic in Grace and Frankie fandom. It's grown into a novel that's even better. 1/2
Absolutely stunned & thrilled to share that Loser of the Year is a finalist for the 2025 Lambda Literary Awards! A deep, heartfelt thank you to @LambdaLiterary. I’m grateful beyond the telling of it

Conclave sweep is inevitable. There will be a backlash, people calling it overhyped. Sorry that I am so smitten with the magic of cinema. Sorry that you are a bitch who lacks whimsy and shields themselves from the grace of god.
This country might be collapsing with increasing speed but at least The Philadelphia Football Eagles are 8-2
An underappreciated fact about Philly is that you can go to Ikea, eat some meatballs, & stare at a seventy-five year old rusting ocean liner just sitting in the river like a hundred feet away
The SS United States’ move from Philly has been delayed inquirer.com/news/philadelph…

no I was reading
If you were a big reader as a kid, you were disassociating.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While, technically, being deeply engrossed in reading is an example of mild dissociation, this incorrectly applies the psychological context of coping with stress/trauma or struggling with psychosis. Pathologising normal behaviour is trivialising to those with real disorders.
