(Guess who is recovering well from jetlag!)

The Queue is a little ahead right now.

And Patreon is about the same. I've decided to start doing a new thing. I have been doing "backlog"/late obscure holiday prompts for awhile and posting them on days that there isn't overflow to post. But since I basically have a 'refresh' every time a new month starts, I tend to have some leftover backlog late prompts. Instead of just saving those for any future missed days, I'm going to post those in a bulk post on the 1st of the new month.

(week of 7/1)

thanks for the tags @gatesofminrathous and @epiphany-jones and for insisting I have interesting things to say @sorrygoldfish (I'm less convinced; here goes.)

... what I'm reading (books): Right now it's Ted Chiang's Exhalation because I needed some short stories to blow my mind (after wasting 400 pages on the Jerry Springer episode that was Memory Hunters).

... what I'm reading (fic): I'm a bad fic reader but I've been catching up on @gatesofminrathous Everything and Nothing to Lose (gymnast AU! bisexuality! delightful), but I've also got some homework to do reading @kogarashi-art's oeuvre because she challenged me to summarize her work for the reverse fic asks. I haven't read a lot of her Saadrah even though I love her art (especially the one with Saadrah bridal-carrying Lucanis!) and I did very much enjoy the one fic I've read so far, Shadow and Crow (what can I say, I'm a sucker for a childhood backstory). I swear I'm still coming for you, koga!

... what I'm listening to: The Assassination of the Washington Post by the Coward Jeff Bezos, an episode of If Books Could Kill.

... what I'm watching: Vampire Lestat and HotD (House of the Dragon; but in this house we call it "hot dee"). I truly aspire to write characters as complex and fucked up as Daemon Targaryen and the vampire Gabrielle.

... what I'm eating: oof. um? I swear I eat. I'm a regular human person who requires sustenance. But the anhedonia has been strong lately and I'm eating for survival.

... what I'm working on: chapter 2 of Coffee. Illario fucks it all up, Rook and Lucanis dance around the elephant in the room. Also chapters 4 and 5 of Bar the Door: Caterina and Violetta are gonna play chess. Like, actually literally chess, though. (Am I the only one who thinks playing chess is a euphemism for sex?)

... what I'm doing to touch grass: fun-dags-fact, I am allergic to grass. So no, I won't be touching it and you can't make me, and if you make me I'll break out in a rash and then you'll feel bad. Now leave me here in this cave where I dwell quite happily (I swear).

... what's making me laugh / ... what's giving me hope: I talked about the Bezos earlier in this post. I'm sorry to say he occupies space in my brain, because as a cultural figure he's impossible to ignore. But I remind myself to have hope because money can't buy him taste, nor class, nor immortality. And one day, a mortician gets to glue his mouth shut, just like everybody else. (This pic isn't about Bezos but I think it can apply to any kleptocrat you like!)

Its been May half term this week,  and its been an absolute scorcher. I hate the heat so spent most of the week in the shade. Even though the kids are older now we still love to spend time together and this week has been  a busy one. We had a lovely day at Herne Bay. My daughter has a corn snake and we needed a restock of his food. The pet shop in Herne Bay is the nearest shop for us, so we…
