Birdfeeding
I fed the birds. I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.

The lovely
godbyebird came up with this idea. I miss the old reccing communities on LJ (crack_van be you'll always be in my heart!) and I feel guilty I'm not active enough in the one still-running multifandom thematic comm I know of here on DW (
fancake). However, I think I can definitely post a few times in December.
The community to join/keep an eye on is:

HERE is the sign-up post!
My current fandom is HBO's The Pitt so that will surely feature the most in any reccing effort I'll try, but some of my old-time faves are the Rivers of London book series, anything by KJ Charles (so historical queer romance), the Murderbot Diaries, Generation Kill and A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones so those are likely to get a mention or two. Also I am a HUGE podfic fan so I'll try to include podfic whenever possible.
It seems like a friendly place and low-effort sort of challenge, if you're a fannish person you should consider taking part!
It looks like I'll be singing "Carol of the Bells" solo in choir. I need to scramble to practice it.
I did wake up at 4 AM. Ate breakfast, but I want to go back to bed. Got up at 7:45. I decided not to take a shower because I need to stay awake at lunchtime because we have a presentation in the afternoon.
Work is kind of a zoo with people changing last-minute stuff on the presentation. My boss said that it's "a miracle" that everything comes together.
I'm feeling arthritis-y.
I haven't heard from my pet sitter, so I think that I'm going to ask if the boarding place can take Zara and Lily too. Then I also won't have to finish cleaning, although I'd like to have the place neat before I go so that I don't come back to a mess. This actually sounds like a better plan (though Zara and Lily won't be happy).
The presentation went well. I contributed a picture of Gracie for our question slide, and people said that she was cute. Speaking of which, I was able to successfully shut all the critters out of my home office during the presentation!
Choir rehearsal went well and was kind of fun. Fed us all when I got home. I'm freaking tired.
Later this month, we will be launching the Kickstarter campaign to fund publishing our next anthology, our second collection of erotica short stories – MONSTEROTICA: TALES OF UNUSUAL COURTSHIP AND COUPLING. This collection includes 16 incredibly hot stories of monsters – the more unusual, the better! – and their lovers courting and then coupling. Some stories are monster x monster, and all are very queer. Whether you’re into tentacles or wings, aliens or cryptids, beasts or gentlefolk, you’ll find something to love in this anthology of monsterfucking stories.
You can learn more about Monsterotica’s contributors be visiting our website.
And now, without further ado… (drum roll please)… our gorgeous cover, featuring art by Siao Bell (Instagram | Bluesky)!
