it's amazing how many baskets one person can need, once you commit to the basket lifestyle
tidying and organising one's space is best done by having a "home" for things where they belong, and baskets make it all look deliberate and aesthetic! once you realise how many problems baskets can solve, you never stop wanting more of them!

I've begun a draft for my mxtx remix exchange fic and I'm very excited! I think (I hope!) that this is gonna be a good one :DDD

note to self: when doing things with paint, an apron is insufficient to actually protect your nice clothes from getting paint on them!
thankfully I caught it early enough that I was able to wash the white paint off my navy blue pants - but that was a heart-stopping few moments

we need teleportation, stat. I have cool friends I want to visit, all over the globe! how am I supposed to live like this!

I learned recently that some people avoid blocking/muting users on #ao3 because they can't stand the notification bar that is visible at the top of every page if you do
I am here to bring good news: this is fixable, using site skins! Even if site skins intimidate you, it's an easy copy-paste situation. All you need to do is create a site skin, paste 3 lines of text into the css field, save it, and apply it as your standard site skin.
Or if you use a custom skin (eg one of official ao3 skins, or other public skins) you can duplicate the skin, saving it as your own, and then edit it, and add the same 3 lines to the code along with all the other css that's already there. And then the fix will be implemented as part of your usual skin.
Here's what you need, these 3 lines. Including the third line with the closing curly bracket is important! and then you're good and will never see the notification banner about mutes/blocks again when you're logged in :)

You may notice that I've updated all my tags that used to begin with "about" to begin with "anent" instead. There's a bug in dw that makes tags beginning with "about" not work right (basically, you can't navigate through more than one page worth of the tag) but it's useful to me to have those tags appear alphabetically near the top of all my tags, so I went for a fairly archaic term as my replacement. As etymonline says:
Yep, that'll do.

As etymonline says:
"concerning, about, in respect or reference to," c. 1200, onont "on level with, beside," also "in the company of, fronting against," a contraction of Old English on efn "near to, close by," literally "on even (ground with);"
Yep, that'll do.
