Alone At Christmas? (MDZS)
Well. This is certainly a thing I just did.
Alone At Christmas? by @captain-apostrophe is a modern AU where A-Qing hires Xue Yang to freak out her family, but then it turns out her dads are super hot...
Fast forward a few months and I got the brilliant(?) idea to do a decorative stab binding, which is (originally) a traditional Asian bookbinding technique. There are many beautiful variations on it, so I figured, as I do, why not make it dicks? Why not make it three dicks? And what better story to do it with?
(yes, technically there are six dicks, but there are two stories so it's really three dicks per fic)
In combination with this ridiculous design, I decided to embrace both the Christmas theme and Xue Yang's trashiness and use Duo Pepperoni for the bookcloth, and some very, very interesting marbled endpapers we've nicknamed salami sandwich.
The typeset was lovingly made for me by @three--rings in the 2023 typesetting exchange. She preserved the ridiculousness as well as all of the author's hilarious Santa photos (which, WOW, that is a whole thing!).
I'm very happy to have this in my possession! Thank you @three--rings for the typeset, and thank you @captain-apostrophe for making me laugh for a good couple weeks after reading this. :D

hey quick question why did no one ever tell me how fucking insane M*A*S*H is?? their commanding officer is a horse girl. the secretary has psychic powers. this guy walks around a 1950s military outpost in drag and everyone’s just like hey nice dress. the protagonist who is supposed to be the best surgeon in the entire korean war spends every episode strutting around drunk in a hawaiian shirt making homoerotic wisecracks and asking the nurses to step on him like some sort of unhinged bisexual jimmy buffet. guys what the hell is going on in this army doctor show
#GUESS WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING LATELY#somehow i have gone my whole 39 and a half years without seeing a single gd episode#and now i'm shoveling this fifty-year-old show into my eyeballs and calling hawkeye my blorbo#like. you don't understand. for the first time in my life my mother and i share a fandom. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN#anyway guess who's also digging through the novel-length fanfic with all intents to (finally) start some new fanbinding projects too!!#m.a.s.h.

finally got a good video of this book I made in 2018!
In Medusa’s Defense is a hardcover, cut-and-fold snake book. I go through it pretty quickly in this video but it’s meant to be slowly figured out and pondered. I wanted to re-think Medusa’s story a bit with more consideration for her perspective. Thanks for watching!!!

there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

‘The Ghetto Tarot’: Haitian artists transform classic tarot deck into stunning real life scenes:
Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.
As Smeets says, “The spirit of the Ghetto Tarot project is the inspiration to turn negative into positive while playing. The group of artists ‘Atiz Rezistans’ use trash to create art with their own visions that are a reflection of the beauty they see hidden within the waste. They are claiming the word ‘Ghetto,’ thus freeing themselves of its depreciating undertone and turning it into something beautiful.”

What makes me lose my absolute goddamn mind about this is that, without fail, every time I bring up the idea of a four-day workweek to someone outside my friend circle, they reply, "oh, that sounds nice, but I could never work 10-hour days."
Like. The absolute endemic lack of imagination re: altering our concept of the workweek to make better lives for ourselves. The entire point is that you're not working 40 hours a week anymore, my good bitch.
Republicans would never support this but they don't know why
#which is why i don't expect a four-day workweek to happen in my lifetime tbh#definitely not before i retire anyway

I think it needs to become common knowledge that "inability to read social cues" can show up as overcompensating.
You don't know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.
You don't know if someone is irritated with you, so you'll be extra generous and self-effacing.
You don't know how much is expected of you at work so you'll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.
"Hardworking and quiet" should be as much of an autism red flag as "ignores rules and doesn't know when to stop talking". Or why don't we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody's eyebrow twitches, that would be great.
#.....oh.............oh no......................#i mean like.#nobody had to tell me twice I was bad with social cues + probably on the spectrum.#but diD YOU HAVE TO GO FOR MY THROAT LIKE THAT

You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.
This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.
