Tag of the day

Mirror Kukalaka (Star Trek) is a searchable tag on AO3.

As of this writing, Mirror Spot (Star Trek) is not.

I am so glad that people are examining the question, "But what if the teddy bear was evil?"

Spot, too, deserves a rampage, being the best kitty.

There once were subscribers so patient

I used part of my stuck-in-bed-with-owies day to catch up on my story index of 2025, at the end of which I discovered I never finished updating the one from 2024. 2024 will have to wait, because at the moment I am just floored by how many fucking limericks I have written this year.

If you subscribe to me on AO3 and you don't like my poetry, I am so, so sorry (insincere). This will continue unabated, as I just came to the (un)fortunate realization that I can do limericks for Kinktober.

For anyone whose ears perked up at the mention of Kinktober, here's a possible kink list for you.

Small joy and a rec

Less exciting by a long shot than yesterday's Huntington treatment news, but I was feeling extremely icky today and then Genghis Khan by Miike Snow came on in the café where I stopped for lunch, and it made me chair dance.

I didn't link the official video. I linked a shot-for-shot remake from Phineas and Ferb, a tv show about which I know approximately nothing not found in the vid. And I ship it anyway.

Current Mood: oh humans yay

Science: Treatment developed for Huntington's Disease

BBC article.

Bring tissues if you, like me, are susceptible to Really Good News.

Current Mood: excited
Current Music: You'd better watch out

Give you joy of the day

I can't celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day without remembering the time Talk Like Stephen Maturin Day was proposed as an alternative on Making Light, which was probably the best thing to ever happen to that website.
