Kate, or something like that.
33. She/her. Bi. Stuck in Texas.
Posting indulgently about some old man, probably.
Blog runs on daily queue even when I'm not here.

Kate's Pinned Intro post

  • In my 30s, bisexual, she/her.
  • Iโ€™m a costume designer irl and will get nerdy about it.
  • I don't have the mental fortitude to actively run multiple blogs, so my personal blog is a multifandom space
  • I tag pretty obsessively. (Usually plural, i.e., "cats" instead of "cat.")
  • My blog runs on a queue from 4pm-midnight CST/CDT everyday, so just because you see me posting doesn't mean I'm here. This is also why I just reblogged your post from a month ago.
  • My drafts bin has 15k+ posts in it, and something I go through it. This is why I just reblogged your post from 5 years ago.
  • I'm an adult who sometimes posts adult content. This is your warning.
  • Leftist. Anti-censorship. Anti-SWERF and anti-TERF. Anti-racist. I don't really believe in DNIs, but this blog is not a friendly place bigots.

Fandom list under the cut.

Best gag in Deep Space Nine was how "In the Cards" showed Morn walking away from an auction with a tacky painting of a Matador, and then when we actually see Morn's quarters in "Who Mourns for Morn", that's like...the only thing in them.

physically go to your local library at least once. seriously.

look around. find a random book with a cover that catches your attention. read the description. read the first page. if you like the sounds of it, borrow it and take it home to read. borrow a handful of books even.

if a book loses your interest, drop it. if a book grips onto you, ride that wave.

i've struggled to read recreationally for years despite having read so much as a kid. a lot of us are frozen by the seemingly infinite choices. even when we buy books to take home, we don't read them because which book is worth reading first? we don't have to decide, we have it right here in our bookshelves, we have an eternity of never deciding.

in this past month, i have read five books, most of them i've never heard of when i spotted their cover at the library. most of them, i've ended up loving. the due date of library books maintains the ability to read a book so i can return them to the library and leave the library with more books. an even better incentive than borrowing ebooks, because i actually have to leave the house and not be a hermit.

so if you used to enjoy reading but struggle with it now, ignore the book recs you hear. go to the library, come across a book that piques your interest, and read one page after another until you either lose interest or finish the book.

then it's onto the next one.

my friend took in a stray and sheโ€™s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like weโ€™re roleplaying as the US military

in our defense this is oil
