just making a new pinned post with relevant links etc. i will probably edit and add to this occasionally.

i'm JD, mostly just here to promote accessibility and talk about the ttrpgs i gm.

important stuff

ways you can support me, if you'd like

  • buy something from my etsy shop - I make paper flowers and a lot of them are pride themed! I also do custom orders. Etsy is my main source of income right now so buying something from my shop helps me out a ton!
  • buy me a book off my wishlist - most of these are books that i've already read from the library and loved! rereading beloved books is my love language. a few are books that are harder to find / continuations from series that i love.
  • tip me on kofi - tips are super appreciated <3

JD's Top 100 Books of All Time
some of my favorite books! I did not include every book from a series that I've loved, so assume the presence of the first book in a...
List Challenges

i wanted to play! i don't watch movies but i do read a lot, so top 100 books it is. these are not necessarily my CURRENT favorite books, but they are books that had a hold on me at some point in my life!

i didn't include every book in a series that i loved (or else this list would be like...double as long lol) so consider the first book of a series an endorsement of the series, generally.

wooo play in this space with me!

They stand in front of a mountain range that sits it front of a cloud-filled sky. In the upper corners of the painting are two beetles with the heads of human babies. End ID]

"I'm in my late 20s and I'm scared I've already peaked" just don't peak then, idiot. what do you mean like you're going to just stop trying to think harder and build taller and learn more and get luckier and read deeper and dress better and fuck weirder and run faster and draw crazier and smoke danker and dance bigger and steal better and stun everyone with your cunty charm and zeal because, what, you think those are the rules? get real. get up. you have another 50 years and you're not going to use them??? give them to me.

we recently replaced paper towels in our home with cute, colorful cloths, because who can afford single-use paper towels in THIS economy. and it turns out that using a brightly-patterned cloth to wipe alfredo sauce from the side of my bowl and then tossing it aside into the "to be washed" bin makes me feel like the world's most decadent and wealthy king.

All of these are by @mattxiv on Instagram.

Here's to all the shockingly single bachelor uncles or the two very close friends who just happened to be girls and are only living together until one of them finds a man (they lived together for forty two years).

[ID: 5 Instagram graphics; all are digital collages using images that appear to be from the 50s and have the heading, "i was born in the wrong generation, life used to be so much simpler" in quotation marks. They show

  1. A man, outlined in rainbow, and a woman smiling at each other over milkshakes. He says, "i'm gay and having an affair with the mailman" and she says, "i know, but i need you to get a credit card"
  2. A man and woman, both outlined in rainbow, hold hands and grin as they play in the ocean. He asks, "do you think we look convincingly heterosexual?" and she replies, "probably not, but i'm so grateful to have a friend like you."
  3. A man and a woman, outlined in rainbow, recline on a blanket on the beach. He says, "i love you, susan." and she asks, grinning, "is your sister still coming?"
  4. A woman opens the door to her husband, outlined in rainbow, coming home from work as his kids run to hug him. She says, "i know where you've been" and he says, "this is the last time, promise*" The asterisk footnote reads, "*it was not the last time"
  5. Two people getting married, styled like a groom and a bride, both outlined in rainbow. Their conversation goes, "when we get home, can i try on your clothes?" "only if i can try on yours" "maybe one day we'll be ourselves in public" "maybe one day"

my queer and trans siblings; pride month may be over, but your joy is still beautiful. your rage is still valid.

[image id: my hand holds open an a4 sketchbook with a double spread drawing. it’s covered in florals and botanicals, in shades of hot pink, varying tones of purple, vibrant turquoises and blues. vines, stars, and swirls fill the gaps between magnolias, pansies, chrysanthemums, and peonies. hand written text says: ‘your joy is beautiful’ on the left, and ‘your rage is valid’ on the right. end image id]

When I was a kid I thought there were so many more swear words than there are. But in actuality we get like. ten before it just turns into slurs. Deep down, I’m still disappointed.

kintsukuroi, "to repair with gold"; understanding the piece is more beautiful for having been broken

a personal piece i used my body as reference 😵‍💫

Avatar

[ID: Digital art of a trans masculine person. Their upper body – starting from their chin and going to stop above their groin – is shown, one arm raised and other hand on their hip. Their body is made of white porcelain with detailings in the shape of flowers done in blues. Right under their chest, on where normally top surgery scars would be, is gold that repairs the porcelain in kintsukuroi style. The body stands surrounded by silhouettes of bamboo plants. Over the shoulder of the person is the artist's signature. End ID]
