My fandom recipe:
Add two cups of Good Omens Aziraphale/Crowley focus, a half-cup of select Tolkien and Sherlock Holmes each, a variable measure of Jane Austen works and gourmet aged Trek, and 1/4 cup of OFMD. Stir together in a botanical setting with great enthusiasm. Zest with any variety of the citrus scale. Substitutions and additions welcome
“Hmph. This microscope is MUCH too small.”
“Mmm, I know something that’s not too small.”
“JOHN. Really.”
“What? I was going to say my love for you.”
“Oh.”
“But yeah, the other thing too.”
Happy Valentine’s Day! 🔬💘 (And look, the boys have a kitchen now! Excuse the not great lighting, I’m still fiddling with all of it 😅😘)
💕Happy Valentines Day 💕
WAAAAAAH SO PRETTY LOOK AT THEMMMM
So...There's a scene in Good Omens where we need an extract from Aziraphale's Diary in the 1820s. And as we were about to shoot him writing it, Douglas asked if we could see a bit of the previous diary entry as well. So I wrote one. As it turned out, we are too close up to read anything of the previous diary extract and only the final line is visible, if that.
I hated to imagine it going to waste.
So here's a small Valentine's Day gift for any of you who need cheering up. You will need to imagine the rest of the story.
“Madam!” I said, “I do believe that you have entirely misunderstood me!”
The countess drew herself to her full height, which I believe would have been about five feet and seven inches, and stared at me, quite puzzled. “No,” she said, “I believe that it is you who are mistaken, Mr Fell. For never have I met a man of any kind who could resist my blandishments.” And then, replacing her garments (which took much longer than shedding them), she added, “I do not know what manner of a man you are, Mr Fell. I trust you will still help my brother with his little problem.”
“I am still there for him,” I assured her. “He is as good as freed from his durance vile.”
“You are an angel,” said the countess.
And so we left the matter. This morning, her brother rejoined her, released (by me) from debtor's gaol. She was by all accounts delighted to see him.
POSTSCRIPT:
It appears that she was not a countess, he was not her brother, and they fled together for France leaving many debts behind them. I told Crowley all about the matter over a glass of claret, but he did not appear to be as surprised as I had expected.

Plant of the Day
Saturday 21 January 2023
The impressive fern Cibotium schiedei (Mexican tree fern) is found growing in the damp cloud and montane forests of southeastern Mexico. This tropical species slowly reaches a height of 3–5 metres with a trunk covered with hairs. Here it is a feature of the Cambridge Botanic Garden Fern House, UK.

in which sherlock bugs john in his sleep and when john wakes up no fucks were given, and sherlock is a whole-body hugger.
also if this worked correctly, the sheets should be transparent … ?
little late for RPM but oh well it was fun anyway
I see a lot of people talking about Crowley using his plants as a reframing device for his trauma and negative self-image, but nobody’s talking about Aziraphale doing something similar with his books. He loves rare first editions and bizarre misprints – books that many people wouldn’t be interested in outside of that niche of collectors. Books that are “incorrect” or “wrong” because they break the mould or go outside of the status quo or breach people’s expectations.
Because he himself has fallen short of the expectations of his heavenly peers time and time again, and is acutely aware that they think he is “wrong” for being that way.
Perhaps he keeps the bookshop stuffed to the brim with misfit books and is always hunting for more because he sees himself somewhere in them. He likes them for being different and recognizes himself in how they are outcast for being that way. So he chooses to surround himself with them, not only to remind himself that there is no such thing as “perfection” but also to remind himself that it is possible for a misfit to be loved and to belong. It’s like his own little fortress of misfits where he can be comfortable being himself.
@losyanya meta i thought you’d love ♥️
despite her efforts to evade me, i have finally filmed my cat playing my harp
Is a tiny cat playing a harp blasé to you people?? You don't even have time to give her a little like for her recital 🥺?
The other day I watched a little boy get knocked to the ground by an older kid who was running by. He burst into tears as his mother hurried over.
“Here’s a bandaid for ya,” I said, producing one from my vest pocket.
“Oh, he’s not bleeding, thank you though!”
I lowered my voice and leaned in. “Kids think bandaids are health magic,” I said. “Ask him where it hurts and exploit that placebo effect.”
She did just that, and instantly the kid stopped crying and thanked her. “I’ll have to remember that,” she said.
Children: #HACKED
Also if you have a crying kid give them a cup of water. You can’t cry and drink at the same time and it gives them a chance to calm down.
Tell them their going to run out of tears so they drink the water.
My mom does this at her preschool after awhile the other children start offering the crying child little cups of water.
Stuff like this is also a great test to see if the kid is actually seriously injured! Because with how much some kids cry over tiny bumps and scrapes, it can be hard to tell. But if you slap a Band-Aid on it or give them a cup of water or a piece of candy and they stop crying, they’re fine. If they keep crying despite whatever little placebo or distraction you’ve given them, you might wanna look a little closer at that injury or seek medical attention.
With my two’s class we ask them “more hurt or more scary?” It takes a bit of practice but after a few times they can answer without more prompting. More scary gets a hug and more hurt gets a look over.
That last one is so important because it validates the child’s feelings and tells them it’s okay to have these feelings and lets them learn how to deal with them, rather than just distracting them from them. I also helps teach the child to both communicate their feelings more readily and communicate when they’re hurt more clearly. All really important skills for a child to develop young.
FOLKS, PLEASE…DO YOUSELVES A BIG BIG FAVOR AND STOP USING TURBOTAX! IT IS USELESS NOW!!!
THE IRS website will let you fill out and file your return THERE ON THE IRS SITE. You pay like $12 for the actual electronic filing process, and THAT’s IT!
Unless you have tremendous amounts of Schedule D stock shit, TurboTax is NOTHING BUT A RIPOFF!!!
The IRS website is EXCELLENT. They allow you to look up your past returns, and have every bit of information you MIGHT POSSIBLY NEED!
FUCK TURBOTAX!
LIBERATE YOURSELF FROM IT!!!!!!!
Actually, with Free File it’s FREE
No $12 fee
That’s the point of free
If you make less than an income threshold you get to file for FREE using various softwares that are REQUIRED to be and stay free or they lose the license to work with the IRS as part of the Free File program
If you make more than that threshold you can file for FREE using the Free File Fillable Forms where you type in numbers and click “do the math” and the website does all your math for you
Also fuck turbotax, I’m not even allowed to use it because it’s inaccurate enough that I’d get fired since Congress mandated all IRS employees’ taxes need to be PERFECT as a condition of employment
okay but the way no one’s providing a link is very unsexy so here you go
IRS Free File lets you prepare and file your federal income tax online for free. File at an IRS partner site with the IRS Free File Program
