Name: C.K. or Chester

Age: 36, nearly 37, growing old mandatory, growing up optional

I mostly post about: Culture Club/Boy George & Jon Moss (my hyperfixation of 22 years and counting), Linkin Park, wrestling (classic SMW/WWF, Jim Cornette, and my deeply cursed WWE 2K25 Universe), my OCs who are realer to me than most people, witchcraft/spirit work/folk healing/moon rituals/grief magic, retro gaming, emotional overshares that read like journal entries from a possessed poet, fanfiction that makes people unwell at 2am, chaos, and the occasional Reddit food rabbit hole

My hobbies are: Writing fic that's 70% emotional breakdown, 20% worldbuilding, and 10% people getting railed in a meaningful way, hexing cults with sigils and sass, collecting music like a religion, drawing OCs, being a haunted glitter goblin with eyeliner and vengeance, building 48-year fanfiction universes with fully documented timelines and named children, going to work like a normal person and coming home a completely different entity

My fandoms are: Culture Club (I'm writing a massive AU called Colour By Numbers spanning 1978-2026, and a supernatural [not the show] fic called The Rhythm of the Hollow), Linkin Park (Bennoda forever), wrestling (SMW/WWF/WCW but mainly the universes in my head)

I'm looking for people who: are too weird for Reddit, too raw for Instagram, too smart for Twitter/X, overshare about their OCs like a religion, cry over character development, understand that Jon Moss deserved better, write long posts, and don't find it weird that I've named all the children in my fictional universe including the surprise baby

My posting schedule: Erratic. Sometimes a lot. Sometimes I vanish for three weeks and return with an entire AU timeline and a new OC

Dealbreakers: Racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, being a dick, Scientology apologists, anyone who thinks Mike Shinoda is evil because of an Instagram reel, "isn't wrestling fake?", "you still like Linkin Park?"

Before adding me: I'm a trans man (he/him, they/them). Autistic and ADHD. I write mpreg unapologetically. I am a Zionist and tired of explaining what that actually means. Pro-AI. I smoke weed. I am extremely defensive of Jon Moss and will write essays about it. My AO3 is CampCornette69 and yes that's a wrestling reference

So I can confirm this is a cold because I did a COVID/flu test combo and it came out negative.

I can also confirm that old age is turning me into a bitch baby because I very rarely have a migraine that lasts me 48 hours but this time nature found a way thanks to the combination of aforementioned cold and really dry weather.

Which is fine in its own way but I also have work I wanted done ASAP and I had a big meeting about something I needed to instruct to my team that my other coworkers were excited about.

On the bright side I was allowed to work remotely all this week on account of two weeks ago basically repeating itself, but I'm also doing the safe thing and not going out until I think I'm all right.

I'll concede I took some risks last weekend: I wanted to see seals in Sandy Hook (mission accomplished, I got a couple of shots) on the last Saturday before the rain and snow would pound everything on Sunday. Week before this was a return to the Bronx Zoo to grab a membership blanket and remind myself why I love the place so damn much. Michelle even found a really cheap room beforehand just so we could make it a whole day trip (jokes on us though, we wasted our morning hours looking at that Yonkers Costco and Stew Leonards). It was still good though.

I also haven't weakened out too much. The snow is pretty much preventing us from going out though as New Brunswick is siloed in all this powder.

It's Wednesday and the migraine is thankfully gone and I hope it stays the hell out of dodge.

Things are still coming out of my body that don't look like how they should.

I'm probably also getting anemic from these things too, so will probably need to cook tonight and prep some proteins since I burnt through my spinach and the alternative is oatmeal (tbf I've grown to love oatmeal after realizing I can treat it the same way as congee).

Finished 2k images of those seals and I'd complain if they weren't so cute! I'm so stuck in work though that I haven't had a chance to add to these things, don't even have spare time to brainstorm keywords for stock and I didn't have a screaming need to squeeze my skull into a hydraulic press from the pain for the past two days.

So yeah, if you like seals then let me know, I've got some nice ones I can probably put up next post. Otherwise, I'm probably going to focus on work. Already "called in sick" yet worked through the migraines into 8-9pm just to make sure I was able to get to some progress point cleaning up some really messy work that I'm also never sure I'm examining properly either.

And with that, imma go look for food.

HEY EVERYBODY!

Thanks for finding me here, again! I hope you are all thriving

I turned 56 last month.

I had some engine trouble, actually let's call it a catastrophic failure, my 2007 toyota tacoma blew a head gasket, and left me with a very expensive repair, in Redding. I was headed to Los Angeles to see my brother read poetry at Beyond Baroque, as he has just released a book, of poetry! So I had to cut my trip short, and I've been pretty anxious since then.

My pinky finger on my right hand was injured very badly on a hike, way back in october. I'm getting therapy for the finger, but it will likely never go all the way straight again..... the finger dislocated so badly, at the 2nd knuckle, its been almost four months, the finger is still swollen and sensitive. The Orthopedist has me in finger casts, which will progessively straighten out the finger. it hurts like a MF

I'm back in the trailer at the broom shop. I'm paying rent for Atlas (my daughter), so I'm not able to save any money right now, despite living simply

I got myself a full suspension mountain bike, but haven't had chance to ride it with all my running around to fix my truck, and some medical appointments, and working as much as I can.

It's been SO long since I posted an update here, I dated a woman for a few months over the summer, she got me more into mountain biking. We've broken up, but I still have a lot of strong feelings about this woman. That probably needs its own post. She's a selkie, and I'm afraid I'll have to take her skin and hide it from her, if I want to keep her in my life. She's also hardcore into astrology, and I just don't subscribe to that jive. She's forceful about it, and it reminds me of religious dogma, I don't have space in my life for things that are not science-based
Other than that,

Atlas graduates from Portland State University this summer,
James is working hard at StormBreaker Brewing in Portland

I'm doing a twice weekly music object with a friend, hopefully more about that later,
and LPM is playing at Cowfish Dance Club for St Patrick's Day, for our 3rd year in a row. I really wish they'd practice more before, but they are ALL (but not me) evolved in Musical Monster Friends, and other music endeavors. So I will sing a few numbers at the Cowfish show again, but I won't have high hopes that the group will learn any new songs....

My cancer treatments were completed almost 18 months ago. I am still cancer-free, and I have an update/check up with my oncologist tomorrow.

The USA is in real trouble, folks. I will have to make a completely separate post for all of that. Stay tuned.

Love,
Mertz

Heeey it's been a week and I've been busy. I know, surprising right?

Hope everyone enjoyed the VD, be it with someone, yourself, or that cheap, cheap candy.

I say this as someone that spent that day in a pancake house where everything was covered in strawberries or cotton candy: meh. Save your money. Pancakes from there are always good though, just not impressed at paying the extra for a seasonal.

Wow, typing that made me feel like a boomer.

So I will say that outside of work, which has been my one obsession, the trips have been remarkably light. Weather's still been too cold. We did try to visit Sandy Hook and it was nice in that everything was covered in snow and ice and the water was nothing but a blank desert as far as the eye could see, but wildlife was at a low. At least the wind wasn't trying to kill us this time though.

Also visited the Bronx Zoo and some of the animals were more active. The tigers did their thing around all the white snow, while the snow leopards were practically housecats, pacing around the entrance to their shelters that is only opened around closing and making pathetic mewling to go back inside while scratching the door. It was hilarious to imagine a wild beast behaving like anyone's longhair tabby but here we are.

Also writing this post reminded me to start uploading my card and charge a battery which were both neglected.

Dryness is still a constant annoyance. My skin is flaking off all over the place and itches like crazy.

My computer froze while writing this and I'm debating whether it was because of Chrome or some other annoyance. It's been running warmer than usual and given how prices are, I would like to avoid this completely. Fun!

Oh, and I'm sick. Again. A new infection? Maybe covid swiss cheesed my immunity. I shouldn't be too surprised though.

Tomorrow promises to be a lot of snow, so going to see what we can see. Sandy Hook again? Seal time looks promising again. I'll power through the sickness, just going to do it with a mask on.

Name: Em

Age: Mid-20s

I mostly post about: Lately, I've mostly used Dreamwidth for life updates related to my quest to get a teaching certification in my area. I also use it for fandom exchanges and general writing community.

My hobbies are: Writing is the big one. I write poetry and original short fiction. In fandom spaces, I tend to write a lot of short form erotica.

My fandoms are: Many and varied. Some of the favorites at the moment are BBC Merlin, October Daye, the Young Justice cartoon, and Wooden Overcoats.

I'm looking to meet people who: I like sharing this space with a wide variety of people. Some of my favorite members of my circle post recipes, media reviews, or meaty fandom meta, but other favorites are just sharing links to interesting news articles or talking about life.

My posting schedule tends to be: It's been sporadic in the past, but I've been trying to get in the habit of posting a few times a week. It's been grounding.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Don't be a Trump supporter, anti-LGBTQ, or a climate change denier.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm polyamorous and live in a tight-knit community that includes many platonic and romantic life partners. Sometimes I post about US politics, but that's going to be fairly rare. I am quite left-wing, because my government's right-wing social policies negatively impact my community and my family. If you show up on my reading page and ask a question in your post, I'll probably answer it in the comments.

Name: You can call me Lina!

Age:35

I mostly post about: Journal entries about writing, social medias/the internet and anything creative, witchcraft, what I'm reading/what I've read, etc. Anything that I'm wanting to write about really.

My hobbies are: Reading, writing, making arts and crafts, drawing, anything that tickles my creative brain. And also watching junk TV because I contain multitude.

My fandoms are Mo Dao Zu Shi and Scum Villain (anything MXTX but I haven't finished Heaven Officials Blessings yet). I've also dipped my toes in Stardew Valley and Bridgerton as a fandom, although I haven't written anything for those yet. I'm Deadfandomswriter on AO3 if you wanna take a look.

I'm looking to meet people who: Are open minded and care about building a sense of community through active participation in their spaces. Are creative and love to see magic in their every day lives (I consider birdwatching to be its own kind of magic for the sense of wonder it brings, for example).

My posting schedule tends to be: So far a couple times a week, but I don't really schedule those.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:Bigots, small minded people

Before adding me, you should know: Other than everything else above, I'm queer, and that probably will colour what I write about more than once in a while. I also do not speak to my family anymore (although my family-in-law have welcomed me warmly), and that also can come up, so if it's something that is uncomfortable for you, you might want to avoid my blog. Oh! And my first language is French!

Current Mood: relaxed

An English-language version of Les Libraries has launched! Head on over to https://www.booksellers.ca/ to check it out! It is basically a collective of independent bookshops with an online store that encourages people to shop for books locally. The French version has been around for 15 years and is basically how I buy all my French books. I'm excited for the English side to take off & give people alternatives to Amazon, Indigo, and the other big-name chains.

Another cool thing is that the English and French sites share a backend. So you can actually buy books in both languages at the same time, if you want (though it looks like in-shop pickup is not fully coordinated, so you would probably have to have them shipped).
