And this is why despite everything, I love the rise of Skywalker
Rey Skywalker. She embraced the family who embraced her and rejected the family who sought to bring pain and unhelpfulness. A beautiful message I can relate to. Kids see her as a role model the way I saw Luke when I was 6. Now I just relate to the struggle.

So, I tried eating a protein bar, and I’m not sure if that’s an experience I want to repeat 🤔 like, was it the worst thing in the world? No. But did it make me feel kind of miserable especially because it was disguised as a still healthy sweet treat and still ended up tasting like cardboard? Yeah

My most controversial take is that I think that Barbie: as the island princess is better than Barbie: Princess and the popperr, and absolutely nothing is going to change my mind

My new favourite thing is the Brenda Lee version of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree because once you hear “later we’ll have some fuckin pie” you can’t unhear it, and I think that’s beautiful

pretty bold of Justin Baldoni and his PR flack to try to take down one of Taylor Swift’s besties and think it would go unanswered

Stumbled across a book last night that is titled the murder of Mr. Wickham, which immediately peaked my interest, because that man deserves to get his shit rocked in every single universe he appears in, and then I found out it was written by Claudia Gray. GIVE IT TO ME. Give it to me right now

“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”
I was told this was a comfort read. Why am I sobbing in bed

Me, frantically googling how long iron infusions remain effective bc I got my last one in March but this is like the third day in a row where I’m just so, unbelievably tired, and also cold all the time

I wish sighted people would realize how fucking exhausting it can be reading a braille book. Like, I don’t know about you, but that’s not something I do when I want to enjoy something or relax or escape into a different world when reading a book.
::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.

Thought it would be fun to round out the year by every day, for the next 12 days, sharing my favourite book I read in each month. So here we go, beginning in the next post because I want to save precious character space.📚

I read the first Monk and robot novella a couple weeks ago when I needed something comforting, and boy did it check all the boxes for that. I’ll have to check this series out, too
A while back, I recommended the Monk and Robot novellas, by Becky Chambers, for those of you who needed something hopeful, soulful, deep-thinking and compassionate to help us through these grim times. In that thread, someone recommended her Wayfarer series, which I had not yet read. And oh, stars.

I know I’m not, and I know it’s just because I got like, three, four hours of sleep, but man I feel so fucking anaemic right now 😴 can’t believe I used to feel like this literally all the time and managed to get through the day

I was planning on just focussing on the high republic phase 3 this month so that I could be caught up by the end of the year but the next book for me has a two week wait on it at the library and what I’m reading right now really isn’t doing it for me so, ISO recommendations Please🙏

I enjoyed #TheEyeOfDarkness. Was it my favorite? No. But there wasn’t anything I objectively disliked either. I just don’t think anything could possibly compare to the way I felt reading both #TheRisingStorm and #TheFallenStar for the first time bc those books were truly wild

Avar walking into the council chamber and finally being able to hear the song of the force again and reuniting with Elzar actually made me tear up. That was beautifully written

Was browsing around Reddit threads bc I was curious about best self-defence practices/fighting styles for blind people who are also shorter than average, and one of the comments essentially said(and I’m definitely paraphrasing/simplifying here but essentially) (1/?)

Just started reading #TheEyeOfDarkness and 1: Avar Kriss is still the baddest bitch
2: Burryaga is still my favourite Jedi of phase 1
And 3: I am still very fucking concerned about everything that is happening... which is par for the course at this point😰 #TheHighRepublic

If I ever encounter one of those toxic fanboys who are like you’re not a real Star Wars fan unless you know this super rare legends character I’m going to throw it right back at them and say you’re not a real fan unless you know of the iconic high republic Jedi master Silandra Sho

Saying something like “your mommy says I can’t pet you,” to a guide dog using a baby voice is one, just as distracting to a guide dog as petting them would be and two, is casually guilt tripping to the owner

Trying to find an every day face sunscreen when you’re super sensitive to texture and how things feel on your skin is so, so tricky. Everybody lies and says this one doesn’t leave a texture on my skin... but I can still feel it😑
