I think the timeline goes like this:

in April 2013 I was asked to pick up @enerjax from the 221B con and take her to the airport. I don't even remember how I got that job. I wasn't even going to the con. I remember pulling up to the convention hotel and seeing several Moriarty cosplays. I was overwhelmed, overjoyed, and a little scared. I picked up enerjax (who I had never met, mind you) and we went to the airport.

In April 2014 I had met way more Sherlock fans here on tumblr, so I got a ticket to the convention and proceeded to meet the shit out of everybody, including @rehfan, cwb, a gaggle of gals I don't talk to anymore, and I got to hug and fangirl over @emmagrant01.

I was around for the 2015 & 2016 cons, mainly to have dinner with some folks, but I wasn't around for the convention itself.

So it's been 10 years since my first 221b con. I think the 2024 one is happening this weekend here in Atlanta. I hope everyone is having a terrific time meeting up with online friends and making wonderful memories. I've know I've got some really good ones.

Yes, it’s starting tonight! Wish you were here!

Fanfic reader's prayer: may my favorite author's hyperfixation on this fandom last longer than mine 🙏

Fanfic writer's prayer: may my hyperfixation last long enough for me to write all the fics in my head.

You are an angel bless you 🙏

But also I can't believe how robbed we were 😭😭

Those people who constantly reblog your stuff but you never really talk:

I do notice my regulars. You guys are the best.

“Regulars” makes me feel like a bar-tender…

Wiping down my dash at the end of an evening, I see your read-more, over-hear your rant in the tags, so I pour you a drink.

“…what’s troubling you, kid?”

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday As the regular crowd tumbls by There’s an old fandom queen blogging next to me And her little gray tags catch my eye

She says tumblr I’m feeling like shit today can you send me some posts for a smile can we talk about slash, can you fill up my dash so I won’t have to think for a while

Laa dahdah didee dah La dahdah didee dah dadum

Fill up my dash, you’re my followers Fill it with pictures and fic Yeah we’re all in the mood for some memery And occasional pictures of dick

Now Jill is a centaur novelist And she writes of her girlfriend and wife She reblogs from Toni, who’s in My Little Pony, And probably will be for life.

As the staff implements wretched changes And we think of how aliens bone We are writing a lot about loneliess: It’s much better than writing alone.

AND sometimes we blog about politics

And sometimes we blog with a beer

And when I proudly boast that I’m older than most, 

They say ‘gross, what are YOU doing here’. 

*wild applause!!

When one of the classics crosses your dash, what can you do…? 😄

@nyan-biney you're so real for this

Metal elitists probably are, the rest of us think this is funny as hell. Also fuck yeah to making corpse paint easier to get and for relatively cheap

Rare is it that I feel "WTF?!" and "I LOVE IT" in such an equal measure. ....Wait. Is this real? I thought it was a gag but how you're talking about it sounds like it is real and OMFG IT'S REAL?!! https://www.elfcosmetics.com/elf-x-liquid-death-corpse-paint-vault/81576G.html

I BOOPED THIS CANVAS 800 TIMES WITH A NEEDLE.

Just for once I’d like to tell the gate agents and flight attendants that my folding wheelchair is going into the onboard closet and not have them tell me there’s “no room”. Bitch that’s a wheelchair closet, not a “your bags” closet. Move your damn bags where they belong.

Ok, so according to my friendly aviation expert, this is a Big Fucking Deal. In fact, if an airline argues with you about putting your wheelchair in the wheelchair closet or even suggests there may not be room, unless there is already another passenger’s wheelchair in that closet, they have violated federal law.

CFR Title 14, Chapter II, Subchapter D, Part 382, Subpart E, Section 382.67, Subsection (e)

“As a carrier, you must never request or suggest that a passenger not stow his or her wheelchair in the cabin to accommodate other passengers (e.g., informing a passenger that stowing his or her wheelchair in the cabin will require other passengers to be removed from the flight), or for any other non-safety related reason (e.g., that it is easier for the carrier if the wheelchair is stowed in the cargo compartment).”

This is hugely important because it means that if this happens to you, you should report their asses to the DOT. Why? Because these statistics are published every year for every airline, and the airline gets a huge ass fine for every violation. If we want to see change, we need to make airlines literally pay every time they treat us this way.

@annieelainey you should share this with your followers! This is important info!!

To my mutuals on wheels, print out the law before you fly and whip it out at the gate if they don’t accomodate your wheels.

Thanks a lot for posting this, bro! Flying while crippled is already difficult enough without people pulling this kind of shit. Also, make sure that if there is a piece of your wheelchair or something important missing off of it, that you make a big fucking deal out of it! I’ve had pieces fall off of my wheelchair and nearly lost a decoration I had on it that meant a lot to me because people were careless with my chair. Don’t let them mistreat your wheelchair.

Non-wheelchair folks:

Now that you know, speak up.

You never know when you’re going to see someone who needs an ally.

Yes! Let’s share this information and support our friends on wheels.
