I am literally still in touch with college lecturers who encouraged me. Never to this extent. This is beautiful. But encouragement of any level is wonderful to see. Stay unsquished. 🫶✨️

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

I can't believe I am already sending out Christmas stock to my stockists. I am very low on stock for Pan, Poly, and Aromantic. Who knew they were so popular? Get yours before they are gone. www.sarahssimulacrum.com/christmasdec...

I was today years old when I realised that having coeliac disease apparently counts towards getting you on the early list for covid and flu vaccine?!
It IS an auto-immune disease, but I have managed it my whole life through diet, so it is easy to dismiss most of the time. #flujab #covidvaccine

My trans witch polymer clay pins are really coming along nicely. I abandoned the previous method I shared here. They are now going to be polymer clay with a vinyl top and sealed in a gloss varnish. I’m planning to have lots ready in time for Halloween!

Walter Wiggum

Simpsons meme where Ralph Wiggum is at the back of the bus and the caption say "(chuckles) I'm in danger" but I've crudely edited it in MS Paint to give Ralph a goatee and glasses and porkpie hat like Walter White from Breaking Bad, and the caption now reads "(chuckles) I am the danger."
