I should gate keep but Bard Books on Roman Road is great for writing when most cafes have a no laptop on weekends policy. It’s a woman-owned indie bookshop with nice coffee #shopindie

Being aromantic in bookish spaces can often feel extremely alienating but Aro Week is the time I get all my strength through loudly celebrating myself, my community and our literature 💚🤍🖤

Having a good morning because another side character has become fully developed in my head. She’s been brewing over the past two weeks and I can’t wait to write her being broken and put back together.
