The Early Years by Mark Waldron

I don’t want to say
things were indescribably
bad exactly

but things were
indescribably bad exactly

I don’t want to say the tide
went out and left him
gasping—a landed fish precisely

but the tide did indeed go out
and left him gaping—a dropped ghost

to make matters worse
god gathered up all of god’s things
and paddled out on that tide
so he swore he would die

and to make matters worser still
he rocked back and forth
in a bubble rather boggy and sad

ate nothing but thistles therein

I don’t want to pretend
things were very much worse
than they were
but they very much were

So, wait, wait, wait wait wait....

are you seriously telling me that chronic nosebleeds are potentially (yet another) symptom of (the same underlying connective tissue problems that ultimately cause) hypermobility?

Well, fuck.

(Oh, and myopia's on that list too, but I somehow find myself less flabbergasted by this one.)

Look! I remembered to post before December started this year!

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

Thanksgiving dinner is cooking

I put my chicken in the oven and fried up the chicken skins and - listen, I gotta say, of all the food items I've tried because I read about them, fried chicken skins are fucking amazing. I don't mind saying that they are, hands down, the most brilliant thing Jews have contributed to the world, and I do hope my various Jewish friends take that in the spirit it's intended, because omg. I don't care if I find out later that you guys invented the wheel, this is better. I am very thankful.

Anyway, we've got chicken, creamed spinach, possibly creamed corn, maybe beets of some sort, maybe couscous, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (with marshmallows, contributed by a guest), stuffing, cornbread, cranberry sauce, and pies. I'm debating making some soup as well, buuuuuuut I think we may have enough food and not enough bowls. Oh, and there's green beans. Oh, and brussels sprouts and a salad.

(Maybe I should've made baked beans? I wonder if I have time to make baked beans. Oh, but the chicken is in the oven. Hm. Can you make not-baked baked beans? Is that a thing?)

Hello Hello!

Name: Mary (they/them pronouns)

Age: Late 20s

I mostly post about: Meta, media roundups (books, series, and videogames), recs, and the occasional odd post. My journal is strictly about my fannish hobbies so it's unlikely you'll every see personal irl stuff. It's also fairly new so please bear with me as I'm still learning how this site works.

My hobbies are: Writing fics, developing OCs, psychoanalyzing fictional characters. Reading manga, playing videogames, watching series. Web development, web design, and web accessibility. I maintain my own websites.

My fandoms are: Ace Attorney, Sasaki and Miyano, Hirano and Kagiura, all MXTX works (Scummy main), Inazuma Eleven, and Katekyo Hitman Reborn. While I have only written fics for Sasaki and Miyano, Hirano and Kagiura, and Inazuma Eleven and actively talk about those series in my journal, all of the series in the list are those I would love to find people in common with.

I'm looking to meet people who: Are queer and/or neurodivergent who are screaming their journals about their fannish interests, write meta, and obsess about their blorbos (OCs or not). I'm a thousand percent more likely to become interested in something new if I see how much it means to you!

My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic atm as I finish setting up my account.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: People who vent, complain, and write using inflammatory language without contributing to advancing on the issue they are complaining about in their journals. I'm not particularly interested in people's personal lives nor am I interested in befriending people who publicly speak about their hateful phobias and -isms, particularly on queer identities and ableism.

Before adding me, you should know: My journal is under a blanket "view with discretion" warning. While I have some NSFW and 18+ posts (appropriately tag), these are not the norm. Please exercise caution when viewing.

So...

Let's say, hypothetically I wanted to move a whole bunch of feeds I listen to en masse off of Spotify and onto something else, is there any way to do that other than manually looking at each feed, in alphabetical order, and searching it up elsewhere?
