In honor of All Hallows' Eve, here's some spoopy things you can get on my reopened store right now! One last day to get 20% off (and a free Halloween sticker) before I close up 8D

Anyway, I can't wait till I'm back home in my own bed in my house with the comfort of my family

And just like that my trip is over and I'm at the airport waiting for 2.5 hours for my first flight back home. I hate the process of travel so, so much, but fingers crossed there's an empty seat between me and the window seat person on both flights

*Googles how to not break down on the train while saying goodbye to friend*

Been on the verge of tears all day. Getting to spend a whole week with friend has been absolutely amazing, even though I spent the first half of it sick, and I'm so happy I had this week but so heartbroken it'll be over tomorrow and I can't stop crying

Might just spend part of today curled up under the heated blanket drinking warm water and feeling sorry for myself

I've been coughing so much I'm losing my voice. This morning my head hurts like a motherfucker from the coughing and blowing my nose. I've definitely caught a bug and I'm so upset, and I really hope the worst of it passes before mcm weekend

It sucks balls being sicker than I've been in a really, really long time on a holiday, away from home. I feel like the trip's ruined but bless my friend, they're being so fucking lovely and chill and taking care of me and I'm so thankful

Yes I am so late to the party but!!! I get all sorts of warm fuzzies hearing everyone so casually go 'beta' in Ms Marvel 🥹 there's something really fucking beautiful about it and it's so *real* and it makes my heart so happy!!!!!

I am a very anxious traveller so uhhhh wish me luck and hope I get to my destination in one piece I guess????

DMing again today (and then tomorrow and then Thursday oh god why did I think this was a good idea) and I'm so stressed with that and with the trip that my tummy's been funky all day and my headspace is just "*internal screaming*"

Honestly what's funny is that I'm just...done...and it feels like there's nothing to really do at work now, which is fantastic, but which also means that it feels pointless to be there. But oh well. It's wfh today so I'm gonna fuck around because I can

The sleep debt is so real. I am struggling to wake up now and my eyes don't want to stay open but fuck, it feels really good getting to rest. Just two more days of observations and passing the time at work and then I'm Done.

Oh my godddddddd &Juliet was SO GOOD
Fuckboi Romeo will live in my head for the rest of eternity and I want their look please and thank you!!!!!
(The queer dilemma of like do I want them or do I want to be them is very, very real)

Its 11pm on a Tuesday night why is the bus so crowded :x

🖤Cleric Bertrand Bell, High Warden of the Duskmeadow🖤

It all started with him, so he had to be the 1st of my What-if Hells: the series in which I imagine what Bells Hells could look like if the cast of @criticalrole.bsky.social had chosen different classes for them.

Good morning I just had a little breakdown because despite trying for like 10 mins my printer refused to print out one (1) compo so it's that kind of a day :))))

This Labor Day is for Laborers Union wins keep coming — let's keep the worker momentum surging

SAG just announced a strike vote for the actors in the video game industry.

UAW could walk out in two weeks, with 150,000 workers shutting down the big U.S car makers.

Unions are surging and workers are winning big. This Labor Day feels different.

Suddenly everything is happening so fast and I am excited but also really fucking overwhelmed and stressed and nervous and anxious!!!!!

Congratulations, KP! Wishing her nothing but happiness, health and love, and the same for you and your family! *nazar utareys*

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIRSTY SWORD QUEERS TO BE LIKE *T H I S* WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!
(I love it the GM is fantastic and the people I play with love stirring up the drama and I'm terrified for Zahra and ahhhhhHHHHHH)

Zahra's bodyguard is in love with her while she's catching feelings for her FWB and her dad wants her experiment (who is another PC) and his boytoy spent their entire dinner with his hands all over her dad and smirking at her while Z stewed in rage and she wants to go all scorched earth and AHHHHHHH

Equal parts excited about TSQ tomorrow night while also feeling the existential dread of going back to work. On Tuesday. We've started early this week so that's uhhhhhh fun :')
