This moment to arise; or: Future Esther depends on you
Getting rid of things: JUST THE BEST. This not only includes the old year, last of its name, but a bunch of junk I had cluttering my apartment and my life in general: old t-shirts I was never going to wear again and chintzy Judaica I was never going to use and small notebooks that I needed to let go of, not to mention just... pieces of paper and ( Read more... ) -
In honor of me not yet starting to write NaNo stuff today
I am thisclose to murdering my next-door neighbor, who has a truly baffling concept of what keeping your music to yourself means. So:
Multifandom fic recs for a nice Saturday

(Untitled)
The short version is I had a really, really bad day yesterday. Some of you said some wonderful, no-bullshit things that I am processing and very much taking to heart; thank you. I do not have the energy to respond individually like I want right now, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
Right now I just want to share some nice things.

And all of a sudden it's the night before school again.
What even, Sunday. I was all on track to do some good stuff, whether active or just loafing, and then I fell asleep for two-plus hours in the afternoon and now everything's sort of borked. I'm waffling about ordering food, because the Seamless options are kind of played out and I thought I wanted pizza, but now my stomach is not so sure, and I'm ( Read more... ) -
This has been a PSA. Also, my tabs are cleared.
First order of business: the Yuletide tagset is open. I really did think I'd be as uninspired as I've been over the past several years, with only a handful of canons grabbing me, but I'm pleasantly surprised, especially in the weirder microfandoms and film options. Link goes to the announcement/corrections post, in case you're worried about load ( Read more... ) -
Self-care Saturdays: Craft edition
I am having an awful lot of very good feelings about crafting today. I read back through my old paper-mache blog,

There's links in them thar hills!
After keeping it in my tabs since it went live, I finally read Questions are the new comments, a Medium piece by the creator of WBEZ's Curious City (which I guessed not too far into the piece - legit one of the coolest things Chicago Public Media does!). It got me all excited about writing and reporting again, a thing I dearly want to do but am ( Read more... ) -
I want brooches. Everything is terrible.
Oh no, this afternoon I rediscovered that brooches are a thing I'm totally enamored of, especially as I try to figure out how to level up my work wardrobe in the coming weeks and months. More sweaters! More nice jewelry! I might even get bangs again, if I get too bored with my hair soon. But brooches, man. They're beautiful, they're cheap, they're ( Read more... ) -
Not yet convinced about this band size, though.
Two MCU recs, one Rhodey POV on Tony in IM1, the other future!Bucky, finally having a good day.
I think I finally know what I'm going to offer for Yuletide; at least one is a terrible, terrible idea, and it is almost certainly the one I'd get matched on, because that's how Yuletide works for me.
I've been loving
