Mi amiga Sonia Santana (antigua cantante de Olé Olé) ha sacado este nuevo video para promocionar su nuevo show.

Me encanta su interpretación de un clásico.

Cuando traiga el show a España, seguro haré todo lo posible para verlo.

Is there a difference between feedback and critiques for writers?

For me, a big one...

Romantasy is a newish genre, a delightful mix of cozy fantasy and romance.

Being relatively new, is it possible to have Classic Romantasy?

If you're Emma Sheppard, you can.

Added a book review of the @stephanieburgis.bsky.social book Snowspelled.

If you are a #romantasy fan (or are curious), this book is a great introduction.

An early morning chuckle from Aaronovitch's book Stone and Sky:

"He had the kind of non-specific American accent associated with Canadian actors who have trained themselves out of politeness."

I am so lucky to have my husband. Today, he encouraged everyone in his distribution list re my health status to go to my Patreon site to get to know me better and more deeply.

We then chatted for the past 2 hours about all the things he learned about me from the blog.

Today, just because, I made #glutenfree oatmeal cookies. And my good deed of the day was to leave the raisins out. I love a nice juicy raisin but most don't.

The recipe is from The Loopy Whisk website.

In social media, the concept of BFF gets tossed with far too much frivolity.

What does it actually mean to have a best friend?

Never underestimate your power as a teacher.

I told a mother of a former student that she had raised such a wonderful young man and her response was that I had an important role in that.

This, after being his teacher for two years (to be exact two blocks of ten months, three hours a week).

In this day and age, it's more important than ever to think critically and stand up against injustice. It's something that I thank my parents and my autism for.

Also, indignation can lead to a better sense of gratitude for what we do have.

For the first time in almost two years I went out dancing at Bilbao's Great Week.

This time last year I was still in a wheelchair.

I've spoken about being autistic before but not at this level of detail.

How much does this resonate for other autists among us here?
