This was so fun indeed <3 Thank you, Mars and Kira, two wonderfully talented artists who collaborated with me for Day 5 of #BaizhuWeek2025 (Birthday + Date Night) Happy Birthday, Baizhu 💚 @baizhuweek.bsky.social fic link 🔗: archiveofourown.org/works/64889953

“Another dance after this,” Baizhu whispers back, careful not to disrupt the easy synchrony of their steps—thighs brushing, hearts pounding, feet light and certain—though there is nothing more he’d love to do than to pull Zhongli away and into a dark corner and press kisses against his lips. The dance must go on, or else the night ends. This contract, regardless of the absurdity of its parameters, binds them, and in turn, holds Baizhu’s sanity in its place.

After Zhongli came back from his sudden and unforeseen disappearance, Baizhu proposed an arrangement in which the two of them would only be allowed to hold each other on the dance floor, and nowhere else.

With the holiday over, I wished to update that my mom passed away painlessly in her sleep on Dec 29th. I stayed by her side to the last. I'm at peace knowing she's no longer suffering. There are many tasks I must shoulder still, so the GFM will stay up. Tysm for your amazing support thus far 🥹💕

This year has been really rough. I'm my mom's main caregiver in home hospice and this will be my last Christmas with her. It's...a lot to take in. Please, if you could donate or share to help with her major expenses, it would be extremely appreciated. Thank you guys so much gofund.me/7ec5d4f8a

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

me, January 2025: ok im never ever working on 3 whole WIPs at the same time ever again ever me, now, working on 3 WIPs, none of which im not even remotely close to finishing, after having just finished 2 other unrelated WIPs in a row:

I took this shot several years ago of stunt pilots who practice over the beach. The crow on the left perfectly photobombed the shot as he flew toward my deck for peanuts. Yes I’m serious. 🤣🪶
