1. Fine, you bulgegobbling windholes, I am reading Homestuck now. (Why didn't anyone tell me that troll AUs were canon? Look, it's troll Indiana Jones! I am trying to figure out his quadrants but keep running into his issues. He had some good blackrom tension going with Troll Belloq until he got him killed, which is probably a recurring problem with Troll Indy; and Troll Brody tries to be a surrogate moirail for him but isn't really up to it. I suspect his thing with Troll Marion has been flipping black/red since she was a grub.) (Also, why did nobody tell me that nearly all the troll characters have disabilities?) (Also, has Homestuck fandom noticed that the humans' game has two girl and two boys - exactly enough for two closed romantic pairs - and the trolls' has 12 - exactly enough for two closed troll romance systems? Although of course neither of them wind up being closed systems.)

I am still finding it immensely frustrating to read, but somehow I can't stop. (I just got up to the original troll romance explanation and decided to stop reading and actually post something.)

2. Yard sailing! We haven't made it the past few weeks because we've been helping clear out the house of an elderly friend who recently passed, age 97 (I have so much newly-inherited crafting stuff) but we went today!

...also I have been informed that library volunteers like me get to take withdrawn/sale books home for free if we want. NO. BAD. I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THIS.

3. I paid my taxes online, e-filing for the first time since the federal government seemed to be pushing it this year, and I do approve in theory of paperlessness. And can I just say: NOT IMPRESSED, US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. So not impressed. Especially compared to the MD state e-filing, which was so convenient and well-thought-out and went like a dream. I could start outlining in detail all of the things that are wrong with the federal electroning filing process, but really I can sum it up with the first one: there is absolutely no reason why the IRS should be contracting out all of its e-filing stuff to outside for-profit companies. D: It's secure web forms! With a little math in! The only hard part is handling the traffic load, and the IRS is probably paying for that anyway! If MD's state government - which is not known for being competent, well funded, or lacking in corruption, let it be said - can host its own efiling forms, I'm pretty sure you can too, IRS.

4. If you have ever wanted to know what 1000 paper cranes look like, here is a picture. Also there is a picture of a baby dalekling, and a field full of dandelions.

5. ETA: I knew there was a fifth thing: The brookerfic kink meme is doing that weird error where it screens comments even though it isn't supposed to. D: I need to prompt Brooker/Mitchell/Maypoles, dammit. (I'm a Doctor/Master fan, maypole dances have special meaning for me.)
