Something v satisfying about my mother (voice teacher, accomplished musician) asking me for transcription help and opinions on leading tones in early music 😀 Feels like the kind of thing she'd have asked my dad; this just reminded me I'm the only surviving Master of Music in the (nuclear) family 🫠

[circus arts guy, complaining about political rhetoric] why is it when puppets come up, it's always 'strings', we're always using marionettes. never body puppets or glove puppets or hand puppets or shadow work, it's unfair.

I’m burning the candle at both ends. I’m whipping it around like Darth Maul and making a huge mess

One thing that kneeling over the tub wringing out vinegar towels so I can launder them has taught me is that lifting several heavyish things every day at work for the last two months has done wonders for my posterior chain and actually maybe I should start lifting again πŸ‘€

Mold update: mold killer has finally been applied, I no longer feel a constant sense of impending doom BUT I still have to vinegar soak and hot launder everything that came out of the linen closet πŸ™ƒ Also the wall is still wet πŸ’€

At some point I stopped listening to Welcome to Night Vale and I am finally returning. Instead of trying to find where I left off, I am simply restarting from the beginning, because why wouldn't I want to experience it all again?

Coworkers are encouraging me to try and get recompense for the mold situation in my apartment but like is this not literally why they make us get tenant insurance 😐 I would love if I could be made whole for the ~$1k worth of fabric I had to throw out but I just don't see a mechanism for it.

The last thing I want is to demand more work from XLOV but I have to stay I'm still really surprised we never got a choreo for Back2Back when it seems ✨️designed✨️ for one

Update: "might" is hereby amended to "definitely did". I don't even want to talk about how much soaked, moldy, dye-sharing silk and wool I had to say goodbye to. I went through all five stages of grief this evening.

Discovered a mold issue and might have to sacrifice a not-insignificant portion of my fabric stash, please pray for me

...actually I needed stitches two weeks ago and it turns out I'm great at being the one in crisis aa well, thank you to my lifetime of first aid training and recerts ✨️ (I AM FINE AND WAS NEVER IN MORTAL DANGER)

I keep discovering that actually I'm really good in a crisis, as long as I'm not the one having the crisis

Bumping for the morning crowd. Final length will be around 50k, which I know is not exactly a walk in the park. My current betas are doing the Lord's work but they've both been inside my head for this whole process and I need someone I haven't been worldbuilding at to see if things hang together πŸ™

Writer friends! I am looking for beta readers for my BTS Big Bang fic. Posting isn't until next year, but fic drafts are due in full in October. I'll be looking at starting major edits in November or so, and it would be helpful to have a fresh set of eyes or two. If interested, let me know!

This is so stupid I am working hard on a fic that is very important to me but because brain knows the whole story it would rather build out the sequel than ACHIEVE FRIDAY'S DEADLINE πŸ’€

My contribution to WIP Wednesday, for once! Can't say much about this one because of challenge rules but believe me you will know ALL about it in uh *checks timeline* like six to eight months, I think??

Was gonna get my travel dinner at Tim's last night but they couldn't do hot food; went across to Wendy's and exchanged pleasantries in the bathroom with a polite girl having a manic episode and ordered my food from a trans girl who was on the till for the first time. Better use of my time/money πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
