Neurodivergent romance book rec of the day.

A Palestinian-Canadian teenage girl with autism tries to navigate school, friendship and first-time romance.

This is such a fun, sweet book by @jackiekhalilieh.bsky.social , full of nostalgic 90s references!

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

Here’s my Art Summary for 2024! 💜🌸✨
I mainly did a lot of work within the first few months of the year, mostly character designs. I did work on some personal illustrations and some fun fan art this year too! Not all of them could fit but here are some. ✨
