coping through my late twenties by reading and writing about people falling in love | professional hobby collector | autism mom | appalachia
as a parent of a child with autism, i’ve never, not once, thought “i wish there was a cure for autism” or “i need to know what caused my child to have autism”

but i have thought “i wish there was more inclusivity, acceptance, and education in conversations about autism”

happy pride, y’all! 🏳️‍🌈

read something queer this month and let the queer people in your life know they’re loved and supported!

and if you don’t feel that way, get fucked! ♥️

4 days ago, my 3 year old son fell and sliced his lip wide open, basically unattached it. an ambulance ride, 8 stitches to the lip, 2 in his chin.

he’s back to “normal,” i’m still coming down from the insane adrenaline rush.

i am SO tired. #momsky

the day before easter, i bought 9 baby chickens. today, a month and 1 day later, that number has grown to 22.

i have a problem and i’m not afraid to admit that.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

desperate for a book/reading community that’s not tiktok. not meta, and is consistently active.

i love #writersky, but also want a space where reading and writing don’t combine.

All right, let's do this, #WritingCommunity! Next Saturday (Feb 8), I'm hosting #CritPit, an event for #writers to find critique partners and alpha/beta readers. The event is open to all writers! Please share widely!

hey, making fun of poor people whose children would be effected by a freeze on snap and medicaid benefits isn’t helpful and least of all, funny.

do better.

Tomorrow is the official North American release for SHADOWED MOONLIGHT. Seeing it on shelves overseas was special, but the idea of seeing it at home…I have so many feelings, and can’t wait to walk into my favourite bookstore and burst into happy tears. 💕 💙📚
