Tbh I think fandom generally needs to get better at sitting with the uncomfortable fact that a story/fanwork/meme/whatever can hurt one person and help another

This is why I think “tag warning” culture is kinder and more constructive than cancel culture / “no problematic content” culture. One size does not fit all, but if we learn to be more aware of the fact that the same thing can be emotionally validating or cathartic to one person and upsetting to another, and pick up a general mindset of thinking before we post, “what might people need a heads up for in this content?”, we grow more compassionate, more thoughtful, and more understanding of the differences in people’s experiences.

So I’ve tried to use Discord before and kinda bounced off, and Times Are So Difficult I thought I’d give it another chance, and anyway I still don’t entirely get it but it has been some solace lately.

(Kaer Morhen https://discord.gg/hztRtJBt is still accepting new signups, that link’s good 24 hours so until Monday afternoon; so far we’ve got enough biologists and ttrpg types that they’ve joined deadly forces to come up with all sorts of horrifying headcanons about Witcher mutations based on the ttrpg’s list of bonus mutation side effects and it’s unsettling but incredibly entertaining. (yes there was a discussion of dick spines.) also there are a number of custom-drawn react-emotes of Letho, Lambert, Iorveth, and Eskel, so if that’s a thing you’re into, that is where you should be.)

Anyway I’ve now discovered it’s possible to get too sucked into Discord, so I told myself (and the server) that if I did not get a bunch of shit done they should kick me out if I come back. I don’t think anyone would really do that, but I have come here for an accountability post that I did a bunch of things today so I’m allowed to go on Discord now if I want.

1) the rest of the laundry 2) the rest of the design for the Eskel-themed embroidery I’m going to give somebody as a treat for Fisstech & Succubi https://fisstech-and-succubi.tumblr.com/ [details yet to be worked out, it may just be a photo I give, i haven’t made it yet, i’m not even 100% sure how treats work, maybe it’ll just be a thing I make, it’s gonna take forever even for the small thing i’m doing so like, whatever man, and it may not exactly fit anybody’s prompt so whatever] [anyway this could be yours, sign up over there, I’ll rb the signup thing in a minute] 3) made lunch 4) cut out and ironed all the different layers for quilt sandwiches for the little bitty quilted panels I’ve been working on, the Party Rocking one that was my quarantine craft at MM’s during the spring, and the Roof With A Pipe one I missed doing for Christmas this year and then 5) totally failed to sew the quilt sandwiches together because I spent yesterday setting up a new-to-me solid antique machine Dude’s mom gave me and I cannot get the fucking thing to sew a single stitch. I just can’t. I tried a bunch of different things and finally I pulled out the shuttle casing thing and now can’t get it back in and I quit in tears so.

The quilt sandwiches are ready to go but the fucking sewing machine isn’t.

(A lovely friend sent me a link to the correct manual for the machine, and possibly when I am not in tears of frustration over the whole fucking thing I’ll try again, but in the meantime, absolutely fuck that thing. )and finally 6) I cut up the apples that I bought from the co-op that are too long-stored and have invisible bad spots under the skin, to bake them into an apple crisp later. (Fuck making a pie crust! sorry not doing that today.)

So anyway. I’m going to spend the rest of the day drinking and watching NWHL on Twitch and, oh yeah, making dinner of course.

later I’ll try to do some writing but probably I’ll wind up embroidering while I watch hockey https://www.twitch.tv/nwhl. (Or Witcher, if anyone’s Witchering I’m gonna watch that for sure.)

phew now i don’t wanna get up. no, dinner. i want dinner, because the buffalo game’s at 7 and i want to have eaten by then. (Your picture was not posted)

               I am also day drinking and watching hockey! I am a Conn.

Whale fan, so naturally my stream froze when they scored. :-/

ayy no worries they’ve scored a bunch of times!!!

i’m not not a fan!

the I C E C R I M E S and zamboni emoji wave in the Twitch chat are killing me

exrayspex https://tmblr.co/mruY9DVFXYfa_5PRq1biDHQ when you say the “buffalo game” i assume you don’t mean the NWHL Beauts in Lake Placid so my answer is no, I don’t watch football 😅 but I will be watching the Beauts at 7pm on Twitch. (Your picture was not posted)
