“Self-care” advice often misses autistic individuals entirely. For us, self-care isn’t all bubble baths and candles, it’s boundaries, rest, regulation, and comfort. These aren’t things to be earned or explained, they’re wellbeing needs. What does realistic self-care look like for you?

One of the things I love about #Bluesky is that this morning I enjoyed a thread about sheep pictures so much I ended up following @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social and buying one of his books - Villager.
The connections in this place are whimsical and wonderful.

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

This evening I'm going to have dinner and drinks with friends for new year. A friend has invited us to her house on the strict proviso that we all leave by ten so she can go to bed. I'm entirely down with this.
