All I want to do is #knit, #travel and #read. Decolonizing and queering my bookshelves. I have #cats and #MS (those aren't related. Probably) she/they
She doesn't want to go for a walk
She wants me to sweep the leash across the floor so she can chase it

The end of the trip, and the end of the wall I've been following for the past week
Walking along Hadrian's Wall has been a bucket list item for 20 years. So glad I finally got to do it!!
(Not gonna let MS get in the way of my dreams 😁)

Just spent a week and a half rambling around Newfoundland.
Loved it. Got out to the northern peninsula and went to my 114 UNESCO world heritage site, saw a herd of caribou, bought a sealskin purse from a local craft association that promotes sustainability...A+

Travelling with ARFID can be challenging (to put it lightly) but this breakfast has only 1 new thing and I tried it and it's delicious
