If you have reach in Australia, I’d really appreciate a repost! 🙏 I’m nowhere near the numbers I need and will need to extend the prize draw if I don’t get more participants.

Also, if you’re willing (and allowed) to pop up a physical flyer near you, DM me and I can post it to you/send the PDF :)

Girri update from Dr Cilla Kinross—

"Back from the field with good news. Girri is in the roost trees (about 300m beyond Girinyalanha and 400m from the tower)—right up high in the tree. She spread her wings and called when Gimbir arrived."

Going with the vibe of “smash” (today's #WIPSnips word) and opting for “crush” mainly because I love it when the word is there in my #FlashFictionFriday story!

A light, chilling breeze, barely strong enough to ruffle the edge of the cotton bed sheet, swept the room. Arthur Gable merely shifted, pulling the blanket tighter around his neck. “WAKE!” Elmer squeaked, trying to sound like the crushing despair of forgotten moments. He managed to lift the very end of the blanket a single inch.

Introducing AND THE DARK WILL KNOW MY NAME

a novel I'm currently #amquerying #querying

🖤Adult contemporary #horror 💙📚

🖤**68,000** words of neopagan witchcraft, murder, mental illness, and some romance

#writing community reposts appreciated
skull with the words and the dark willk now my name. adult horror cj subko 68000 words fake texts over a picture of a witch doing a ritual. they read: witchcraft gone wrong. found friends and family. depression and self-harm. grad student stuck at home with parents. murders most foul. a supernatural killer, perhaps? pitch: girl interrupted x eric larocca Ash has just been released from a psychiatric hold following a suicide attempt, and her life is in shambles. Her parents are angry and overprotective; her best friend Kelsie has abandoned her for being too exasperating; and her graduate school work is suffering, bringing her to the brink of expulsion. Spiraling and overwhelmed, witchy Ash tries to put a curse into the universe, so that anyone who tries to fuck with her will hurt like she hurts. Later, in a moment of clarity, she recants the curse. Then a man who ghosts her for a date is murdered. Surely it can’t be the curse she recanted? At first, she’s able to shake off the impending emotional spiral with the help of her therapy group friend Leticia and crush Dara. However, strange things continue to happen. Her window is broken by an unknown stranger. Kelsie’s apartment is broken into and Kelsie blames her. But when her skeazy professor is murdered right in front of her, she has to accept the facts—someone is stalking her and the people around her. Someone who looks exactly like her. With the clock ticking until someone makes the connection between the murderer and Ash, Ash turns to her friends for help. To save everyone from the monster, Ash and her friends will have to work together to figure out what it is and how to slay it. But killing it might mean, for Ash, facing her darkest inner demons, the ones she’s been ignoring for years. If she doesn’t, it could mean the deaths of everyone around her. a woman screaming with the words reach me and contacts underneath. www.cjsubko.com cjsubko at gmail dot com bsky cjsubko at bsky.social insta sarcasmlemons

I made some stickers on my Cricut last night for the first time (and they’re super cute), and I just realised that I can make a personalised sticker sheet for my friend who loves stickers for her birthday!!! But like. What do I put on them? Probably books and cats and tea, tbh.
A sticker sheet with some stickers removed. The remaining stickers are clip-art style images of books and a backpack.

My autism identification has materially improved my life in a number of ways, not all of which I’d fully articulated to myself before taking this survey.

Autistic AND non-autistic adults living in Australia, can you help out with this research?

Start practicing your scripts now:
💠 "All food is just food."
💠 "I'm not labeling my eating today."
💠 "That's a weird thing to say out loud."

PRO-TIP: Have your phone ready to suddenly need to "take this call" and leave the table.

Just a reminder that if you have ADHD, your RSD can turn "You've gained weight" into "You're unlovable and everyone's been talking about it."

But here's the thing: people who comment on your body at holidays are telling you who THEY are.

You don't need my permission, but if you find yourself in an RSD spiral, remember:

You can leave.

You can fake a work emergency.

You can say "I have to go" and just... go.

You don't need a reason that satisfies them. Protecting your mental health IS the reason.
