Buffy ,'Help'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It is so lovely to see you Nilly, and also to have had this annual tradition for so long.
I am trying to give everyone room this year because of our collective global trauma. I am sure you are doing the best you can for your family and your students and they know it and appreciate it
Unrelatedly, after I talked about being fandom adjacent, I spent several hours reading Harry/Draco fanfic.
Wonderful to see you, Nilly! Give yourself the latitude you give to everyone else in your life... it is not easy trying to cram 40 hours into a 24-hour day for your students, family, loved ones, and friends.
Love to see these words from you every year.
(Honestly, I can barely figure out how anyone truly interacts on Tumblr beyond just reblogging each other's posts. Sometimes I miss LJ...)
I feel this SO HARD.
NILLY!!!
They switched up my Mom's meds, and she's MUCH more lucid now, and doing way better overall. She's supposed to be getting out of the hospital and going into rehab today.
I am prepared to fight anyone who declares there's a threshold level for Fandom. Yeah, there are some superfans out there and more power to them, especially when they write superb fic, make great art or put on conventions. But you don't have to do any of that, even actively, to classify yourself.

Good to hear some good Mom news!
That is good to hear, Tom.
Tom, that's great news about your mom!

This is what I was thinking. If someone asked me "what's your fandom?" I would interpret that as asking "What do you enjoy watching/reading/playing?"
My arm is showing some of the same colors as my peppers: [link]

Y'all just need to sparkle more in your fandoms.
I actually really do miss lj for that kind of thing. It was well suited. I really fell out of reading fic after lj... did whatever it did.
Ooh, ooh! I just ran 18 minutes out of 30 on the treadmill! Ten, five, and three, with walking breaks between, but this huge in my little world. Especially when I compare it to where I was at my lowest mobility in the last couple of years. Am so grateful.
