death to republicans in Philly!!!!

bearded man smoking a pipe standing at a payphone connected to an accoustic modem with a keyboard, caption reads a travelling executive receives messages from his office electronic mail system by means of a hand-held computer and modem at a public telephone

this is the coolest online has ever been

Time to do my least favorite podfic task, listen to myself read sex things

oh I love all of these!!

did you find a perfect orca patch?

oh to snooze in a sunbeam on top of Lydia’s feet

Beatrice, a black cat curled up in a ball in a red couch covering her face with her paws

love when cat covers up nose!!!

solution: perfect hat you want and a tiny orca patch to sew on!!! best of both worlds

really and truly one of the main joys in the world is discovering a new great thing! Or a person who you vibe with!

the absolute joy of coming across a fic author you’ve never read who writes in a perfect way that tickles your brain!!

they’re smart and funny and full of art history references and pitch perfect character voices

NLCS!!!!!!!!!

Shocked to discover that Trea Turner is not, in fact, a baby, but is actually 30 years old

I am thinking about the necklaces again!!

you gotta!! We are all in this together

I have to exercise and shower but I might actually go out to a bar to watch the game like a real person

sorry not sorry for the person I am going to become when the Phillies win tonight

listening to fic about regrettable texts and sending my own regrettable texts

but I don’t care about the top and YouTube please stop recommending me “inception ending explained” videos I don’t want them

I am broadly uninterested in the question of “what is reality what is a dream” partially because I don’t think the movie is intended to have an answer. But I love a fic that delves into it and twisty twists through the layers and well Cobb is being pursued across the globe by shadowy interests

but very much would not exist today. That post about “you can’t even handle a slightly mean woman stop saying you want more unhinged women”

Mal is unhinged and I love that for her. But also half the time maybe she’s right and vindicated!!

and there is something so wonderful to me about how much fic and meta are devoted to Mal (and posits that she’s right actually) and everyone kind of just ignores Cobb. Like he’s there. But we’re not interested in him. move over so we can see your wife better.

and like I do agree with Aja’s point that saying inception fandom sprouted because there were two hot guys is reductive but also like two hot guys with a dynamic and a backstory and a setting primed for infinite variation

I just think the auto-archiving fandom impulse is endlessly interesting!!!!

of course a lot of this is because there were quite a few inter-fandom BNFs (especially Aja so ymmv…) who stayed involved long term and like seem to have shepherded the fandom through the LJ migration to tumblr?

and because of like, everything about me as a person this scratches so many itches. I wish this existed for other fandoms in this way? I think? Maybe sometimes.

okay so I think one of the reasons I’ve become so insane about inception in the last week is the fandom’s internal practice of archiving and commemorating. There’s a popular anniversary event and a lot of meta about the fandom’s growth and place in larger fandom spaces/histories

Other cities should stop trying to have weird monster mascots you will never be us!!

also - my mom was like at least they don’t have the old mascot we’ve made progress. Like politically blooper might be a step forward but he’s also the absolute worst thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life

I just think that the braves should have had to forfeit automatically tonight. It’s Indigenous Peoples day we should not have to watch the fucking tomahawk chop

so many text links lead to dead lj threads or locked journals :(
