Thought I'd best do an intro, since people seem to do that...

I'm Em (they/them), probably mostly here as a writer of sad, slightly strange, queer and genderqueer sff. I also heard there's some great DS9 chat around...

Here's a picture of me looking somewhat hungover and in an awful mood 😄

Close-up photo of a 30-something year old white person with brown hair that's catching the sunlight from the sundries behind them. They're wearing rainbow sunglasses and a navy shirt with burnt orange and yellow and red geometric patterns. And they're wearing a tired, humourless smile. Reflected in one eye of the sunglasses is a hotel breakfast on a small, round table.

Ahhh, sisters can also be nice! :D

EC Hallewell @echallewell.bsky.social · 9h

Absolutely!

EC Hallewell @echallewell.bsky.social · 10h

Sisters can be rather devious! But that isn't a bad look

Ahaha, that is very fair! And I promise to consume more cheese very soon

EC Hallewell @echallewell.bsky.social · 23h

Why did no one remind me?

EC Hallewell @echallewell.bsky.social · 1d

The next time I want to eat cheese for dinner, I need someone to remind me about the cheese dreams

Omg my child has discovered the old Avengers series (that was already old when I was young)

I'm not sure whether I'm delighted or dismayed, but I like that the female main character is a super intelligent scientist and hand-to-hand combat expert

EC Hallewell @echallewell.bsky.social · 1d

EC Hallewell @echallewell.bsky.social · 1d

Haha perhaps not entirely...

EC Hallewell @echallewell.bsky.social · 1d

I loved slowly realising that this was the tinderbox. The phrase "eyes as big as dinnerplates" has been floating around in my head for so many years

Oh gotcha. I clearly have writing circles on the brain. That's sucky though :(
