Today's my birthday.
If you back this project on my birthday I'll likely twirl. You won't see this, but bask in the possibility.
(If you back at the full trilogy level, I *will* twirl. We call that certainty)
3 days to go.

@zzclaybourne It is now after payday, and therefore I will be having your twirl and I insist you do it while thinking of the first bite into a doughnut. A really good one.
@dianaprobst I can do this. I can do this all day. (Thank you!)
@zzclaybourne It will be good to have them. I don't like using Amazon and have wanted the physical things for a while.
@dianaprobst I love how people have been so patient with this trilogy. Puts me in mind of tilling soil for crops. I hope these books are good seed.
@zzclaybourne You have some pretty good trumpeters.
@dianaprobst Of course that should have said "tilling soil" but autocorrect helpfully slid "telling" in when I wasn't looking.
@zzclaybourne I got there, and I had amended it my head, but now do you realise that you're out there explaining to the worms how to be the best worms they can be? Headcanon does not lie.
@dianaprobst The worms must know...
Oct 27, 2026, 2:54 PMThat's the nice thing about being a worm: they completely lack all self-doubt.
All life on this planet exists to support them, and they know it.
@zzclaybourne @dianaprobst I am not patient. I am totally impatient. Like @mwl I want KT immediately. NOW NOW NOW!

I hate the week before Zigsmas!
@mwl CANON HOLIDAY
@sungo @jggimi @zzclaybourne @mwl IMMA HAVE MY PONY!
@jggimi @zzclaybourne @mwl Honestly, I am fine waiting because during that time I shall be running naked like a werewolf, eating leaves, and invading the waking dreams of insomniacs.
A usual week.
Oct 27, 2026, 4:27 PM@dianaprobst @jggimi @zzclaybourne
living your best life!
@dianaprobst A usual PRODUCTIVE week.
@zzclaybourne Technically I should also add that while I'm howling at the moon some work I did is about to get royalties. I shall spend them on jerky and chew-ropes.
@dianaprobst CONGRATULATIONS! This, of course, calls for a dance.
@zzclaybourne OK. Imagine me (and here I assume that I am also watched by the rest of the thread) in a Dyloned nightgown and ankle socks.
I am fucking rocking it, Zigzag. There are limbs everywhere. Neighbourhood cats are wishing that they lived with me. The soundtrack is Do The Twist because nothing else will do, and it is played by demons who know what timing is. For once, my back lets me gyrate. Yeats' falcon looks at me and gives up on spiralling.
That is how awesome this dance is.
@dianaprobst Full. Standing. Sisko.
I look around me and I see no cats. They're on international flights. To you.
@zzclaybourne Happy Birthday! *cheers for you*
@MeyariMcFarland Thank you, Meyari! Raising a glass!
