I feel like I want the version of Kitchen Table Polyamory that's more like Viking Beer Hall Polyamory (i.e. a big ass community of partners, friends and lovers that are all interconnected, and also happen to drunkenly break into songs about their glorious battles)
Moving most of my online life away from here - discord, the Azure Firmament, tumblr, Facebook for the older crowd. Don't know what the accepted code for the new place is herr, but that's where I am.
Hopefully see you soon!

I was an early adopter of Twitter (Feb 2007!), and a 2nd wave early adopter of BlueSky, and honestly the latter has been like coming home, not wide-eyed with wonder so much as relieved that it IS possible to have a pleasant, community-spirited micro-blogging platform. Join us!
Just discovered the extraordinarily specific word dinq, which means "to not make the requisite amount of progress in one's qualifications". Its etymology is the acronym for "delinquent in nuclear qualifications" (thanks, nuclear submarine programmes?).

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
Fay: _Go to bed early_, they said. _You'll feel better_, they said.
