I’m so angry about thisβ€”killing these gorgeous bats for trinkets. Learn some f*cking felting skills if you want your own fuzzy creature and leave nature alone!

8 pages written. Powered through for the last hour and a half. I’m good.

Bedtime now.

I’ve been on such a health kick of late, just updating and upgrading my routines - still not absolutely perfect but definitely way better. I haven’t touched a bag of Lays in months.

I had one just now. It didn’t hit like I’d hoped. I think I’m low on riboflavin. πŸ˜”

A really brilliant episode on RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria).

I have RSD and I’m learning how to cope. It’s strange as I’d only learned about it after dx and in therapy. Thought I’d share as I’m still figuring things out.

Trying these two chocolates, finally, for the first time. I’ve recently learned about Laura Secord, too. She’s known for much more than chocolate 🍫 #canadalife

One thing I absolutely love as a Brit living in Canada is hearing Canadians swear. It’s lovely. They hold back so hard all day that it’s like sweet morning dew misting on my ears when they finally let it out.

(Sorry about that terrible imagery…)

Hmm πŸ€” what other literary tattoos should I get…

I know I want an Emily Dickinson tattoo (or 2), another Shakespeare… possibly a reference to SΓΌskind’s β€˜Perfume’… I need to look at my list.

(I’ll share what I got the day before, next!) #books #tattoos

It’s one of the contradictions for being autistic. So much is expected of you and yet you’re punished.

All sorts, especially when you’re masking heavily. From β€œbeing great with customers”, having creative ideas, setting up great plans, knowing/being passionate about subject ABC, to β€œthinking logically” and so on. All praised when needed, and then later admonished and punished if not done correctly.

The positive traits that are praised are the same traits that get punished.

Do you find that? It’s a form of shame, especially if you’re autistic in the world.
