wisdm. I did test it to check it would display even when not logged in to Instagram, but Instagram links can go a bit funny, so please let me know if you run into issues. oursin) wrote2025-10-31 04:44 pmDept of, what will they think of next (some of this is, as I remarked elsewhere, resuscitating Ye Good Ol' Victorian Quackerie - though, as we concurred, VIBRATORS ARE NOT VICTORIAN!!!): With the menopause dildo, we've officially reached peak menopause bollocks.
(Declaration of interest: I once did a podcast with the author.)

Dept of, well, on the topic of dildos, or at least, urgent phallicism: I spent a year dating conservative [frothingly alt-right] men:
Something about getting ready to go on these dates made me feel like I was 18 again — except now I had the ability to run professional-level background checks, which I did. Not because I was operating on preconceived notions but because the few peers I told about my mission encouraged me to. Given some of the vitriol against women in online alt-right groups, they felt I should treat every date as if it were a threat to my life. I came up with a routine: before a date, I’d tell at least three people in advance where I was going and what time they should expect to hear from me by. I enlisted a friend who’s a former Navy SEAL to be my unofficial security consultant.
And that's before getting to meet the actual doozies who are, apparently, not even the worst types on the dating apps.

Dept of, let's have some better news, good news about snails (the snails that one thought had been mown down in the ONward March of Progress, or at least, building much needed housing):
the snails are OK. Nothing bad is going to happen to the poor little Whirlpool Ramshorn Snail, the endangered creature which our Chancellor unfairly blamed for stopping a housing development, causing me to get grumpy on social media. But in following up to try and see what actually happened, I found out a bunch of interesting – and in my view extremely heartening – stuff.
.... it was always a false dichotomy, it was always possible to have the houses and the snails too.
Dept of gilded snails in a very different space: From snails to street signs: Soho’s history revealed on a new digital map - the snails on the facade of L'Escargot Restaurant.

Dept of, gosh I have met (many years ago) the curator of this exhibition: New York City celebrates the “Gay Harlem Renaissance”

Age: 19 (20 soon)
I mostly post about: Daily life, media I'm engaging with. Trying to post more about my OCs/fannish stuff, but it's scary. I dearly love my OC Vesper and her partner Roan and and will talk so much about them if you ask!
My hobbies are: Ballet (been doing it since I was a little kid and currently still doing pointe, albeit as a hobbyist), digital art, DIY fashion (alt/goth), creative writing. Huge music nerd--I'm into dark cabaret, goth, digital hardcore, industrial, among others. My favorite artist is Ada Rook of Black Dresses.
My fandoms are: Honestly, it's been 99% Vesperoan lately. Selfshipping! I'm a huge selfshipper and that makes up a lot of the fannish stuff I do. Some of my F/Os are Double Trouble from She-Ra, Whitney the Bully from Degrees of Lewdity, Xenon from Cytus II, and Greely from Animal Jam. Neither here nor there, but Evangelion is extremely near and dear to my heart. I've also been a VOCALOID fan for 9 years now.
I'm looking to meet people who: Post frequently so I have stuff to read on my reading page :) Being into my writing would also be a huge plus! I'm still trying to set up a comm specifically for Vesperoan.
My posting schedule tends to be: Pretty much daily, sometimes I miss a day or post multiple times a day.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Sanists, transmisogynists, other bigots. Minors (please stay safe!).
Before adding me, you should know: Lucy likes referring to herself in third person. She's into a lot of dark and explicit content. It will be placed below an 18+ screen with a warning/reason given, but still, if one is squicked out by the content detailed in her pinned post, maybe best not to follow! No minors for this reason.

Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die".
