highly recommend going to see a Really Good production of into the woods with someone entirely unfamiliar with the show. it truly makes the second act all that much better.

the moon is shining so brightly through my window, i thought it was a streetlight at first. what a night! 🌙

they should invent ocs with deeply complex lore that don’t require you to do math

i absolutely adore playtesting games!!

(and having my games playtested, though my current project is still quite far out from that stage.)

my body and me: the fractured embodiment of being disabled pain, medical trauma, and recognizing wholeness

“dungeons and dating” from the latest batch of phineas and ferb episodes leans a bit more larp than d&d, but it clearly pulls inspiration from the game

A dark blue bench against a pale pink wall. Large white text on the bench reads “I need more time. Rest here if you agree.”

A mirror selfie of Stevie in a public restroom. They’re wearing black jeans, a black leotard, a black and white cardigan with a stripped and checkered pattern, a KF-94 mask, and lots of silver jewelry. They’re leaning on a platform crutch and smiling at the camera.

rest here if you agree <3

happy valentine’s day to doomed lesbians, and to them only

DRAFTS ON BLUESKY, EVERYONE CHEERED ‼️

on my train today, the person in front of me was wearing a kf-94 mask. it was the first time in weeks i’d seen someone else masking and i nearly burst into tears. we really don’t talk enough about how isolating it is to be able to see visually just how little of the world cares about your life.

i was approached by a very old, very british woman who was absolutely fascinated by my outfit. i replied vaguely about how i simply enjoy dressing this way, which then prompted her to say “i think there’s a word for people who dress in all black— goth! are you goth?”

…yes.

I'm saying amazing things about you in conversations you don't even know, in rooms you aren't aware exist. It's true.

I wish I could engrave this upon your heart so that you know that people care about you even when you feel like no one does.

Especially with you feel like no one does.

i’m the same way, but you already know this because #ourfriendship 🤝

that’s so exciting!! welcome, welcome! 🫶

Stevie’s January wrap-up from Storygraph. Their stats are as follows: 11 books, 3,537 pages, 4.07 average rating, 321 pages on average per book, 3 days average to finish a book. They read 73% fiction and 27% non-fiction, with their top genres being LGBTQIA+, fantasy, historical, horror, and contemporary. Their highest rated reads are Katabasis, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, and The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.

really proud of these stats as a start to the year. i’m well on track to shatter my reading goals!!

talking about wake up dead man with my friend who is also an ambulatory wheelchair user but comes from a Very Different theological background than i do is kinda the best ever

soooooooo true!! i got super lucky with a skip-the-line copy of the ebook on libby.

you should most certainly add it to your reading list. in this moment, i legitimately could not tell you which book i adore more.

katabasis by r.f. kuang, i was not familiar with your game (chronically ill academic who continually pushes themself too far in pursuit of knowledge and validation)

i hate trauma anniversaries. when someone invents a body that doesn’t keep the score, hmu.

went to the hadestown matinee today because tickets were super cheap. just in case anyone was wondering who was sobbing in the balcony during “to the world we dream about and the one we live in now.”

A busy street full of people walking around, many of them holding shopping bags or bouquets of flowers. Each side of the road is lined with brick buildings, and there are smaller white tents in front of some of them with more vendors.

Flowers displayed in a vendor’s tent. There are colorful bunches of baby’s-breath and small sunflowers wrapped in brown paper.

A bird’s-eye view of a wooden table at a coffee shop. There is a mocha with simple latte art sitting on a large patterned coaster, a brownie with a small fork on a blue plate, and a Kindle displaying the cover of Carmilla.

this is just like there it goes by maisie peters

reading a book that takes place in london while i’m living in london…woah

why does everyone on libby have the same taste in books as me? fucked up and evil.

anytime i add a new friend on storygraph, the very first thing i do is stalk their recently read to build up my own tbr. i love book recs so much, it’s like a love language.
