Carmen Loup🌻🌈 (they/them)

Alas, I was trained from a young age to both catch and develop a dirty humor, despite my personal lack of libido 😂

Yeah, I turn all my scraps into compost! I used to get rotten food out of the grocery store garbage, but they've since locked that all down 😅 And good tip on the digging up clover...do you go looking for it in public areas? About what dimensions should the plugs be?

Oh cool! I'm aro/ace, too, I just am surrounded by some very sex-positive people so my mind goes there now 😂 But I will remember that about you :)

Reading Last Chance to See now, and it just makes me love him more. What a guy.

Happy Birthday to Douglas Adams, the man whose way with words made me the writer I am today. If I ever write a line half as funny as "Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it." I will die happy.

I get a lot of people thinking he is! Maybe Ardhanarishwara is just showing up to people in the guise of Shiva? Shiva, to the Shaivite at least, is everything anyway, so I doubt he minds much, it's our little human brains that get annoyed at this foolishness 😅

These sorts of things are usually sex-related, so I'm thinking it's like tea-bagging and also speed dating? Hoping it's not, though. Sincerely hoping that's not it.

Welcome Center’s Museum of Tourism stands testament to the town’s incredible wealth. Electric air colder than a turtle’s tits, gift shop stocked with imported goods, and a budget-busting show about the creation of the world (allegedly) which features several slick animatronics. The discerning museum-goer might question the veracity of their claims to an alligator-origin of our species, but on the road, you take your entertainment where you can get it. Still not sure what the Sinful Burdens are for, but they do make everything look more festive. Four out of five Sals. from Aliens in New Florida CarmenLoup.com

2/10 Another hint to what's going on in New Florida! 💙📚

I have a friend that grows a bunch of food and he's tried to help but he's busy and my ground is like 100% sand! I'd prefer not to mow. My plan for now is to rip out as much crab grass as I can, try to kill off the stickers, and then mulch it and maybe throw around clover or creeping thyme seeds?

Tell me more! Can these native weeds not stick to my clothing or scratch me? That’s all I really ask of them.

Crab grass is public enemy #3 in my garden (1 is simlax and 2 is hitchhikers… 2.5 is blackjack)

I want to get rid of my grass so bad but replacing it is expensive, laborious, and confusing 😂

It feels wrong but it’s so right!

Weather going from 65 low to 36

Oops 🫠

Surely this year it’s the real one?

#WIPSnips with Xan, as usual, being incredibly incompetent with weapons.

Our azalea always goes nuts for some reason and the bees love it! It’s the healthiest thing in our land and I never do a thing to it 😂

Similar! I should probably water from the bottom! I shall try that this year :) Got my dirt! There’s so much of it!!!

I haven’t even started seeds yet, I have such trouble getting my seed starting mix to stay evenly moist 🫠 it’s always wet on top but bone dry in the middle 🤪

I’ve got 3 cubic yards of dirt arriving today and should probably get to gardening but I just want to write but also I’m stuck on writing 🫣

Brian washing. Can’t stand a dirty Brian.

Turning off your brain while reading 1st sounds like a good way to brianwash yourself into thinking like the protagonist, too, which might not be a great idea?

Why do we live to see them suffer?

I think the LOTR denouement is about 30 minutes so you're good 😂

Xan trying to beam some sense into Aimz is about the most foolhardy thing he's ever tried. #WIPSnips

Stuck on writing the real, publishable content so it's Time to Write SECRET SMUT fanfiction of my own characters!

Poor May, getting randy over solving unsolvable problems because she's too ace for aphrodisiacs!

Once I publish Book 5, I'll record Book 4! I just really need to focus 😅

Ah, the noodles! I need to make a list of all the mind-altering substances I write. The noodles, the zip-zams, the perspective snacks, the many alcohols, there's an interdimensional metal that factors into book 4 and now mushrooms 😂

Psychedelia!! I can't get enough of media that breaks reality, but it's super hard to find. Slightly easier to find fourth-wall-breaks but those are also distressingly rare! Metafiction in general is a rare treat.
