Hello Bluesky! I am a recovering academic whose ADHD hyperfixation is picking up new historical fiber arts. When I'm not stitching, I'm writing or playing video games.

They have trapped all of us in their drug and sex cult. And we really are ruled by just this - their drug delusions and their sexual predation.

I saw a chronic illness thread a few months ago suggest getting a terrycloth robe to sit in after showers to help with dysautonomia. I ordered the largest men's robe I could find, finally got it washed, and boy is it a game changer.

Somebody heard me. I got an immediate doctor appointment for my kid's ADHD med refill, I got my tickets upgraded to the OK Go concert this week, and I get to sign up for a sewing class. Plus I have cookies. Thanks, universe! 🌌💜
Is there something specifically in the stars that's got it out for me this week?

Two major purchases cancelled on me today because the item I ordered wasn't in stock. Both of the items still up for purchase on the websites. One of them was my kid's major Christmas gift this year. Back to the drawing board. 🤬

Mine is the Lady Stoneheart epilogue in ASOS. He asked why that particular chapter and I said I just wanted to see Cat get her justice. GRRM looked at my spouse and said, "Watch out for this one. You have a vengeful woman on your hands." (Spouse replied that he was well aware.)
The only piece of ASOIAF material I've ever gotten GRRM to sign is my copy of A Feast for Crowd, on the Broken Man speech. That was almost 10 years ago, at Balticon 50.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This is like when you bring your brown boyfriend to Thanksgiving, but it's alright because ever since the aneurysm, Grandpa's forgot he's racist.
Reporter: “Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?”
Mamdani: “I've spoken about–”
Trump: “That's ok. You can just say yes. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind.”
